SCHOOLS
As will bo seen the white enroll
ment ls considerably moro and the,
colored enrollment considerably less
than that of last year.
However, tho full colored enroll
ment will not bo reached until after
the cotton picking season. The whitq
enrollment, roo, con' ues to increase
as time passes. As ia shown by th?
above table the whlto enrollment for
tho first ntonth last year was 1841.
For tho whole session it was 2,212
an increase of about 21 per cent- A
Uko increase this year will give z.
final enrollment of something Uko
twenty-fivo hundred whito pupils.
Tho total enrollment white and col
ored lu expected to roach 4,000
pupils.
Th? schools will have frequent
firo drills during Ahe year. The heat
ing apparatus is in the main of the
very safest description but the
school board is resolved to neglect
no precaution. *.
The public is invited to inspect tho
rebuilt Glenn Street school. It ls
probably thc most attractive In tho
city.
Woodwork for the boya and sewing

seventh grado at Kennedy St. Tho
school board has provided some nice
equipment for the woodworking de

Tho domestic science department-of

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AM? THE
BLIND.
Codar Spring, S. C., Oct 17, 1914.
-? <!>,. Vnlnrn nf thn StaLn of South
Carolina:
At the last .meeting, of tho General1
Assembly, at our suggestion, two
amendments to our Statu Constitution
were proposed for the betterment of !
this school to be voled upon by you
Jt thc coming general election. If
thc.e two proposed amendments aro
appro ved by thu people of thia state 1
voting "Yes" upon both of thom the
Schcol for thc Duci and tho mind
will no longer bc classified with the j
Penal and Charitable but with tho
Educational Department of tho stale.
In order to effect this change of claa- j
slflcatlou lt is necessary to amend
our constitution in two places. First
it is necessary to so amend as tv> take
tho school from tho Penal and Char
il ab lu Section. A second amendment {
lo necessary to.place thc school- under
he Educational Section.
At tba coining^ general election in
VT.-.. ,-.1.-.- ...... ...Itt I.- ..I-1-A
MttiuUDi j U.1H ty:; wjauu V\? VttDl
/oui." I.a?Ql eithor for or against these
two proposed amendments. Knowii
that tho people of this state will uni
formly vote "Yes" on these two
amendments ptovlded thoy are in
formed as to their importance to this
scnooi, I deem it my duly, as tue rep
resentativo of this school, to address
thia letter to you.
A century ago the deaf and the
blind children of these United States i
were .allowed to remain a burden to
their parents and their friends. About
a half century ago, great ' advance- !
ment had boen moue when a large1
majority of the states had estab
lished schools under the name of1
"Asylunis" for the deaf and the blind
children. So ignorant wove the masses
of the people in regard to the ability !
and needs of these children that they
could not disassociate the charitable
Idea from a deaf and a blind child.
I Hit thero bas como a general awak
ening in all our states. They are rec
ognizing the fact inii? ?voi y iltJ? ara
every b'.lnd child within tho bounds
ot these United States has a right to '
hope for an education and a right to j
hope that it will not be handed out
to him with the label of charity upon
lt while his more fortunate brothers
and sisters get tho sumo thing and
there ls not the suspicion of charity j
with iL The. work done at our school
ls educational In the highest sense
for lt includes Instruction along lit
erary, musical, industrial, VhyslcaU]
and moral Unes.
Our graduates are successful men
and women winning their way in the
world and gaining' the respect of the
people around them; they are never
objects of charity and the school that
makes them should not be classed
with the penal and ^charitable work |
of our state. For years, for all prac
tical purposes, our classification has I
been educational but legally we have j
carried the clamp pf charity upon us.
To take, away th? hist vestige of tl??
charity idea from our school I re
snectfullv ask that your voto "Yes,r
upon both of these proposed amend
ments. ' Then I say to the boys
and girls under my care and to the
large end respected alumni of oar
school that South Carolina will no
longer stamp charity upon the educa
tion ehe is giving, and will continue
to give so freely to her deaf and her
blind children. Feeling sure that tho
pc-op' . >i tills ?tate wUl .gladly avail
themselves ,ot the opportunity to vpto
"Yes" upon both these amendments,

(By riar'.-;ice Townsend.)
Another week past, a month-yea
think of lt; Just a month ago we were
grumbling it wasn't fair that we
should have to walk the long way to
Kennedy Street School, and when
Professor Chambers said "How many
properties has a verb? Name them you?
you, you, you" so rapidly that if tho
least bit of you mind was aome other
place you might ns well Bay ono,
you'd hardly havo time to say that,
but now we answer "Five," etc, equal
ly as quickly as the question was ask
ed. But why shouldn't we? Haven't
we a beautiful building, costing be
tween twenty and thirty thousand
dollars? Haven't wc tho very best
desks that can be bought? Isn't the
building kept se ru plo indy clean?
Don't we take domestic science? Don't
the hoya take manuel training? Aren't
we to have the "Camp Fire Girls?" Of
course, and many other things.
Wo don't have tho sign "positively
no admittance." We welcome visitors.
Wo make some mistakes as a student
giving the principal parts of the verb
froezo gave aa follows "freeze, froze,
frizzled."
We aro starting Uje year to have
good work and a good time.
Singing has begun In the fifth and
fourth grade? and will, in time, come
to our grados. Wo enjoyed circus boll
day, but all were, glad to be bach
rrlday with the exception, of two. Wo
may not have as many pupils as West
Market Street School or Fant 8trcot
School, but there ls au old, old say
in?, "It ls not quantity but quality
that counts."
Our geography li made especially
interesting by our teacher, Miss Geno
Harris, by cardB, eic, that Miss Harris
got while 'She was abroad thin Bum
mer. If the war ls troubling yon, come
to Kennedy Street School and the
aright, smiling faces of those who at
tend will make you forget your troub

Lyceum Course at the College.
-
Tho first entertainment of the Ly
ce mn course was a decided a access,
and wes a foretaste of tho other good
thing? that are to follow. The spon
sor* for this ocurso, tho Ladles Col
lege Association, have IO conjunction
with the authorities of the college, se
lected a high order of entertainment
for th's course, believing that this ls
what tho people of Anderson would
want and wou\d support. It is a very
inexpensive course, averaging about
$150.00 for each entertainment. It was
possible, of course, to get a series of
much cheaper entertainments, but^thc
college has gone, into this in tho nu
llor that .Anderson waals only the
best. Jn this day of cheap and trashy
attractions it is much to the honor of
a city to support a course of enter
tainments that a.o clean and Instruc
tive.
It has beon said that Russell Con

Tho following debate was written*'
by Frances Bhirley*
? Resolved, That the study Of Eng
lish composition is more important
than the study of bookkeeping. ? *
For several reasons I say that the <
r.?uiiy cf 1*^""l'?>* oe"1 Tvr*T'*'rm laman
important than the study of book
keeping.
First. In the study of English
composition. correct writing, correct
speaking and correct Apolline are
promoted-three things .which aro
very important for everybody to
knu .r. person learns from thia study
how to express himself lp a free and
easy manner and ap clearly that
everybody can understand what lie
means. .
Secondly, a person ls Judged by the
kind of English he used in. writing
and in speaking. Many people.,hw*
been daprivod ot good positions by
sending in applications written in
correctly. . Do you think a person ap
plying for a position as a bookkeep
er would be given the position il he
did not know bow to write-bia appli
cation -^/irrnrit lu ? Tn ' piomt.. rajima ha
certainly would not.
Thirdly, it is important for every
body to know how to write correctly,
but lt is not necessary.for everybody
to know bookkeeping. No matter
what position you held yon will be .
expected io write correctly.
Therefore, since tho study ot Eng
lish composition promotes correct
writing, correct spuakinj; and correct
spelling; since, a prscn is judged hy
the English he dses In writing" and
in speaking; and since ny matter
what posiUon you boW. yea will be'
oxpocted to write correctly, the de
cision should gp .to the .ainymatlvo.
