Whan do you think of the proposed
road law for Colleton county?
Have you contributed to the Mon
ument Fund yet? If not, why not?
A glance at the Supervisor’s
quarterly report in this issue will
show that “St Paul’s Parish” is get
ting the lion’s shore of road working
or at least the county is paying a
pretty stiff price for such purposes
there. Special legislation is always
dangerous, and it will be well for
our legislators to revise this special
legislation or the county may become
bankrupt in carrying it out.
LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE.
Some months ago there was a
public meeting held at the court
house for the purpose of organizing
a Law and Order League, which was
done and officers elected, a constitu
tion adopted etc. all of which looked
very good on pa|>er and in print.
Since that time nothing has been
done to further perfect the organi
zation nor to put it to work. It U
the opinion of this paper that this is
a mistake. \\ e need such an or
ganization very badly. There is in
THE REASON WHY.
It has fallen to the lot of the
editor of The Press and Standard to
help grade quite a great many sets
of examination papers in the last
few years, being a member of the
County Board of Education.
In the recent special examination
there were eight applicants for
teacher’s certificates, five white and
three negroes. Only one secured a
certificate and that was a third
grade! The examination, too, w-as
not a hard one. Is this the best our
common t 8chool system can do? Is
its finshed product not capable of
making a third grade certificate
on easy questions? If not. why not?
Of course it must be understood
„ *
that many of the brightest pupils
never appear before the examining
board. We hope this is true. But
should not every boy and girl who is
allowed to finish in the common
schools of the county be able to win
a teacher’s certificate?
Some of the causes of this, we
believe, are as follows: (1) Incom
petent teachers (2) Terms too
short; (3) Poorly equipped schools;
(4) Lack of interest on part of pat
rons; (5) Too many schools; (6)
Change of teacher.
There are doubtless other causes,
but the above are the principal ones
that a-t as weights to hold down
our school system, and keep our
children either ignorant or poorly
informed on educational lines, This
is a matter of such vital importance ,
to the people of Colleton county that t

THE ClViC LEAGUE.
Walterboro should see to it that
those organizations intended to
foster civic pride and to improve
appearances injtown should be kept
very much alivt. One of the hardest
things we have ever tried to under
stand is why such organizations do
not flourish here. There is no doubt
of the fact that they are needed,
and that they could accomplish much
good. Other towns have them and
flourish in proportion to their
strength and the enthusiasm shown
in them.
So much by way of introduction,
if introduction be needed, to say
that we are very much disapt>ointed
in the late lack of interest and
enthusiasm in the Civic league.
W'e understand that it is practically
dead. If our information is correct
the officers have tried several times
to get a meeting, and each time
have met with failure, there being
at most only three members present.
Why is this? Are the ladies of the
town toeing interest in thefr organi
zation? Have they done all they
could find to do? They are not go
ing to let the League die? Spring
is gpming when the town will natur-
rally pot on much beauty and life.
A little aid from the League would
do rnaek to beautify the streets and
vacant lots. So we would especially
urge the membera to keep their
Don’t let it die! ..
trustees who employ teachers Xvho
know nothing to teach are responsi
ble for this failure on these examina
tions. A fountain cannot rise higher
than its source and if the teacher
cannot get more than a second or
third grade certificate, how can the
pupil?
But this brings up the question of
funds. Good teachers, like good
mechanics, good printers, and good
workmen generally, command good
pay. and the districts in order to
secure their services must have
money to pay them. Special tax
levies are needed, fewer schools,
larger attendance..
A few defects and a hint at the
remedies. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
