Commends Its Aim.
School Time Again.
The Prese and Standard rom
mends mo»t heartily the aim of The
Southern ('aroiina Association fo^.
each 1 of the four counties—that is
for the three worker* who are ex
pert in their line» to aid the regu
larly constituted authorities in car
rying on development work in the
four counties. No one in any coun
ty will now doubt the wisdom of
the farm demonstration agent. Thetr
usefulness and worth to a county
has been demonstrated over and
over to the entire satisfaction of the
most skeptic. The same Is getting
to be true in regard to the home
demonstration agent, or more pop-
VJlarly called, the ‘‘canning” clul)
By this time the schools of the
county are in full blast again. Near
ly every school la now in session,
and several thousand children, are
going dally to the fountains of
knowledge. They are being train
ed for citizenship. The schdols of
this county are progretwing aud
many of them Jbave splendid teach
ers. A great work is being done
edncationally. We do not believe,
though, entirely in theoretical
knowledge, and we trust the day
is not far far distant wheu there
shall be taught in every s.-hool in
the State some industrial branches.
We shall be glad to see scieutir.c
agriculture taught, and a knowledge
of tools to boys, as well as domestic
science to girls.
We feel that the educationa' for
ces of the county will not be cm-
plete till we have other workers in
the field, such as a rural scho d sup
ervisor, and teachers for lb? indus
trial branches. We must go for
ward as rapidly as possible.

The same can he done in Jasper

for such to he done in the large
Counties of Hampton and Colleton,
Lueoo Gunter, State Supervisor
of Rural Schools, in a letter to Sec
retary Reid, of the Southern Caro-
lina Association, says: ”1 am par-
ticularly well ' pleased *ith your
program for all the counties in your
section, especially with the idea rtf
a rural school supervisor in each
county. 1 know of no greater bless
ing that could come to Colleton of
Hamptrth than that of securing an
efficient county superviking teacher.
This officer would be a great help
in Reaufui t and Jasper also, buf the
larger white population in Colleton
and Hampton would make such an
officer a God send to tb* 4 schools of
kuch counties." /
Mr. Gunter has expressed the mat
ter very clearly and to the point.
We shall see what the powers that
be in each fif the counties will
about Hie niateter. We trust they
will make provision for the w«rk.

('ourt Next Week.
It seems that (he times for hold
ing court thip' fall, as fixed at the
last session of the legislatutO. are
not giving general satisfaction to
those who have t* attend. It will
be recalled that the session of the
v. court held in September came just
at the time the farmers were most
busy with their cotton harvesting,
and now conies a two-weeks court in
October before cotton harvesting is
complete^ and about the time far
mers are busy gathering corn. It
U a bad time for them to be awav
from home as witnesses or jurors.
And considerable comment is beard
o n all sides about this matter. To
return to the old dates would per
haps be best, if the matter can be
nrorked out in Justice to the other
counties.
