EDUCATION HERE AND SUBSTITUTE Editor Horry Herald: Ii' you please allow mc space in the pup.n- to say a few words that may truthfully touch upon the status of the educational progress in Horry County. First, 1 would like to mention an incident which once ,had a particular effect upon m\ feeling of fireside patriotism. i happened to bo in a place of business in Marion County onto, not long since, and in that store wore two men in conversation and one of the men to high-styled talker, well dressed nnd shaven, remarked that "down in Horry county where there were more common people than anywhere else for the same amount oi territory in South Carolina, was where such contagious diseases us small h.iV nwi'i jlau \* ii.vit A?K i |yw.-v, IIIV'.I HWil) >1 I VSW|'I I originated, a-nd that il was simply because the young* people, from time j to time ha<l less and less training, I making toward high and decent i ideals. They Have no training' to effect a true sense of tare, and tha. generation after generation would become more and more base, because they had no source of ideal training to bring about any material improvement." Kow I am not vouching for the truth of this remark, as 1 am naturally ii-clined to take the op posite view, but 1 am in after th" motive that prompted this remark, as il has <nnce doubtless been made a number of time.*} by others wh i heard it, and I would rail it just a malicious spread of that poisonous ! sentiment which Marion and a few other counties have held, and kept polished by action against Horry; and they never herald the fact that Horry has contributed largely to the .success of business, etc., in Marion'^ nearby towns, by using them as a mart for a large portion of their produce, neither do they herald the anxiety of Marion peopie to get a band on the Horry stock, crops and <>lhor commodities. I fear, however, that to some ex tent the remark might have had the least sentiment of fact, when we ro alize that the pfcst of the business world is the substitute. In the average school of Horry county there is very few third and fourth grades I hat can read fluently, and when we look into this matter a little we find among other things that the rhildren lo not get enough of the old time drill in reading and spollin'-v. but they have a substitute a hit h is called by some miserable one, in the style of a literature book, oi a- beginner's geography, or other unhstitme which very decently takes 1 !?# child's rending, writing and spelling hours and when ho has pon dered his mind for all the period re i:irod of hirn he has nothing to tell hi, parent when he goes home, unless ho tolls of a quarrel betwoer. two hoys. Education is valuable, for i? is the training of our native faculties, and if we depend on substitutes, and " easy way* to get there," we are most likely aiways to run aground, as is marked l).v the teacher situation in the county at this time. The little trifles or substitutes whiv'h the different boards, and organizations in authority have allowed to enter into the programs nf tho schools is education's greatest foe, and only results Arc found in a practice of stuffing the pupilN mind with useless knowledge and cramping their natural abilities into conventional shapes. In connection with educational training religious training is also undoubtedly a good thing, as the object of religion is to cause sin to cease, but it has a substitute called false religion which compounds with sin and snows people the way to go along with sinners and yet appease their conscience, and the educational training being among the first essentials, and the people of the county being fully aware that the whole I 1 i? i> . i i uusmess me 01 itie scnools are already vitiated by the fancies of these )i iaerahlo .uibstitutes, it would seem very j^ood indeed if some proper organization could be instituted and having work and specific action as their key word, and f?et instilled in the mind of the children that spirit of hard study and particular application, in the style of Aho Lincoln and as used in the days of Mr. Mc I SOUTHERN AC INashvill THE GIANT Ol Its immense popularit fart that every line in il farm families by men an< appreciate Southern con< rally unlimited personal subscribers without char ILwery year we answe on hundreds of different charge.
