My hope is in the cooperation of our people, and of this I feel rea. hoi'ibly confident. The history of the South Caroli na Teachers' Improvement Associa tion is perhaps not very well known The first organization under that name was made by Dr. D. B. Johnson of Wittthrop with his sen. lor class of the year 1902. These the race for prizes offered, yet the work by no means ends with the rural school. The spirit of improve ment is contagious; r-nd we believe that every school within reach of its influence is bettered and taught the great lesson of self-help by the Association work. Is not such work as this richly worthwhile, sorely needed—and perfectly possible? W« earnestly, ask the cooperation young women at once began to °f (he county superintendent of make plans to improve the build- education, and the trustees, patrons ings and grounds of the rural an d tec/'hers of the schools of our schools. They had excellent sue- county in helping to realize these cess; literature was distributed all blessir-gs of school improvement.
