PAGESEVEN SCBOOL SU- PERYISOR'S REPORT ACKfiBMAN MAKES EX- rLAKAHON OP WORK. ■ANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE FcHoning SugEwtSoas aad by Kxam* ■le MU* Ackcfauw U AnlibK School* of Couty. Editor The Pre*» and Standard: Thb rrork of Superviaor of Rural Schools was undertaken under many misgiving*, because, inpart, of the realisation of difficulties to be met aad opposition to be overcome. The knowledge that some of Colleton's citisens were opposed to the estab lishing of the office could only tend to lncrease«the desire and determina tion to demonstrate, if possible, the wisdom of the county board of edu cation in creating the office, or posi tion, for Colleton county. It may be of interest to all to know that, though the work haa been necessary slow in its introduction, and the re sults of the Supervisor s work, may not even be perceptible to ail. yet the State Superintendent expresses himself as convinced, by the reports submitted, that the Jesuits justify tie appointment. Since October sixteenth more taan forty schools have been v»sited, and if there had in any of ihese districts been opposition to the office it was seldom, if ever, manifested in the at titude of trustees and patrons to ward the worker. Suggestions for improvements have, in many instan ces, havo been followed up by im provements undertake*! and work ac complished. In at lea»: Uiree echoes the teachers and trustees have work ed toward the betterment, not only .f tbe school, but of the whole com munity.' The raising of money for blackboards and other improvements, efforts to improve schoo* ground-con ditions in and around the building, have all been stimulated and en couraged Numerous requests have come from trustees for a visit to schools where there was any *pccial work needed, or improvement to be under taken; and such requests always give pleasure and make t*ie work easier, in communities whe.c consolidation seems possible, and the securing thus of both a better building and a long er term, no opportunity is neglected to nrge upon the people the necessi ty for such change*.

The happy faculty of making frlenda. with his nature ability, experience la the halls of legislation and apqtuitn- tance with men in high station, made him a valuable man to his constitu ents and the State at large. He was a Democrat when it came to party matters but he was a man of breadth and when Congress was largely Republican. Mr. Legare was as effective a worker as when the national body was controlled by those of his own political views. He car ried a beautiful watcu rob, atudded with diamonds and the name* of for mer Speaker Joseph Cannon and other influential Repaoiicans on it. as a token of their friendship and regard. He was a hard worker for the Charleston navy >ard, and for Charleston harbor projects.
