The coun ty superintendent of education has notified the Board that he will not approve claims for more than the district’s apportionment, so the only thing to do is to vote this levy or shut down the school when the funds are exhausted, which > will give us a term of not.more than four months. As soon as the result of this election is annouvred, if the special levy fails, and the teachers are informed that they need expect only a four months scehool. there will be elexen resignations in fifteen minutes, and there will be no school in Walterboro this term. Now. if there is any other way out- of this condition which confronts us, we shall welcome the solution. None of ns wishes to increase his taxqs, for goodness knows they are high enough a<W they are. i*it we realize that we cannot run the kind of.school we must run here to tak% car£ of the pupils of the district without more money—and no other man or' set of men in Walterboro could do better than the present Board did last term, an<L I make thi,s slatnmontly advisedly. I tlo not believe that the voters of Walterboro wilL refuse to see this matter in its true significance, and that there will he a big majority of votes <ast tomorrow for this extra levy, for we wish to build up the school arid make it an institution of which we may well feel proud. Even with this levy we cannot do the things which are necessary for the school., laist term there-were dozens.of children sitting on bench es and soap boxes, the teachers were worked to death almost, and could not do full justice to their pupils. It was necessary to divide several of the grades and take a part of the pupils at one time of the day and a part at another in order to get them in the building and hear Ihem recite. We rbally need at least two more teachers, and we have not $25.00 worth of equip ment in the school, outside of the domestic science enippment. We need some material for a physics laboratory; we need some simple equipment for teaching the prin ciples of chemistry: we need a few charts, maps and globes. • We need playground equipment, and a num ber of other things essential to a properly equipped school, but we cannot do more than think of them, and we cannot for several years, even if the levy carries tomorrow. So tty is matter is up to the voters of the district. If they do not wish a good school here, they have the ^privilege of killing it tomorrow: and if they are progressive and wish to build up the school and the town, they can vote for the extra levy tomorrow, The trustees are devoted to the interests Of the sc booty and 1 can say that, except the,chairman. *a better set of men cyrild not have been chosen for the Xvork. But they cannot make brick without straw. > Respect fully, V*'. w.'smoak, Chairman.- Walterboro. \ugu. t- 2 ».
