SPECIAL LEVY WON 52 TO 41 Result of Election to You* Addition, al Levy Results Tn Victory For {he Levy. \ The following timely and we’l written article by Dr. R. S. Bailey, superintendent of the Walterboro High School, will / provf of interest to the people of the community. Dr. Bailey is a trained educator and well posted 1ri all matters fer- taininc to school management and discipline, and what he says should carry conviction. The next session of the school begins on Friday. Sept. 14. af which' time Ihe opening exercises will be held and lessons assigned. • The following: Monday school proper will begin with recitations, and there will be j\o ij^ttime. Dr. Bai ley has bedn hofdihg^»uiH*irous. con- ferences with the, teachers and is working on the schedule of recita tions. in order that the school-may get in as many recitations cortsfst- ent with thoroughness as possible. He proposes to ffiake this a year of hard work on the part of everyone connected with the school, and with a view to making it profitable. Dr. Bailey’^- article follows*.' In a little more than a week our ublic school will begin the session of ijU'-tS. and the tifne has ar rived for the superintendent to take Into his confidence the patrons of the Walterboro school district. There Is certain Infornriation that should be in the possession of every patron of the school and every cit izen of the town in order that they may intelligently co-operate with the administration of school affairs, wad It is the purpose of this article to give a brief'ii|(inmary of school activities, and to outline the policy of the administration for the com ing year. Necessity foe Good BahooU. The public school when properly conducted, next to the church. 1* the. mo«t Important institution la the life of the community. It teach es the most elementary and at the same time the most important ac complishments of civil life, without which one would be at a sad dis count in any civilized community. /Tt cultivates acuteness of percep tion. judgment, reasoning power, breadth of vision and elevation of interests. It inculcates the higher virtues obedience, truthfulness, thoughtfulness, self-control and personal minty. To sum up. "The school is/a community consisting of teacher/ and pupils, who arw living togethei a conscious purposeful life whpse aim* is the.growth of its members in knowledge, wisdom, righteousness, and social efficiency.” The social efficiency of every na tion has been found to be in direct proportion to the excellence of its educational system. The wonder ful ertlciency of the German nation was brought about almost solely by Its excellerit public schools and compulsory attendance thereon, and it Is hv way of the public school IhXt this great notion of ours will ^ultimately reach the high stage of enlightened development .which it . so richly deserves. • The citizen who opposes, -the best Interests of the " public school, thoughtless or other-, wise, is an enemy to that very de mocracy for which our soldier boys are now preparing to shed their blood on foreign fields. The history of the world has conclusively proven that democratic governments in the hands of ij*- educated citizens is s failure, and cur own countfy profiting byAhis fact coupled with its own experience, is making rapid strides in t>oputar education. South Carolina in re cent years has wonderfully improv ed, bnt she still staads pitifully low- la educational advancement. '/ Absence and Tardiness. Absence and tardiness are per- haj>s the greatest draw-back*Jn tlj^ We of a pupil, and they are like wise great obstacles in the proper advancement of the whole school. The United Stales Commissioner of Education has reported that the av erage daily attendance In our pub lic schools is less than 70 per cent of the enrollment. A small per centage of absence and tardiness is doubtless due to unavoidable caus- but careful investlgatiod l, has shown that absence and tardiness are in a very large measure totally unnecessary. Absence from school i* detrimental not only to the ab sentee. but also to the whole class. Many parents do not realize the *er~ ions loss suffered by their children when they exercise the righKof tak ing them oat of school at pleasure The result of the election to vote on a special levy of five mills was in favor the special levy by a vote of 52 to 41. The election Was one of interest and the vote was larger than it was thought it would be, and not so large as it would have been if the voters could have pre sented their credentials. A great maijy voters were debarred from the privilege of voting because they could not find their registration certificates. The rules were adher ed to strictly, and only those, who were entitled, to a vote under the law were permitted to vote. This vote will enable the school to continue for the fell terra.of nine LOCAL BUD PASSES ON IRE CLAIMS jr ‘ v .4 V list of those whose claims HAVE BEEN REJECTED BY LOCAL BOARD NO CLAIMS FILEp BY MANY liArge Number do not,Claim Exemjv '.
