County School Notes
The couinty superintendent of educa
tion is a busy man these days, and it is
impossible for him to attend all of the
school closings and meetings which he
would like to attend. lie gets out as
often as possible, but the heavy corre
spondence aind bookkeeping of his office
keeps him tied down to a great extent.
It seems to us that this office should
have an assistant. Pickens county is
undergoing a great revival in educa
tional umat ters and the work should not
be hampered.
Mr. Petty Freeman, the contractor
who has been remodeling and build
to the Glassy Mountain school
house, has about finished work
on the building. Before the im
provements recently made Glassy
Mountain school house was a one-room
building of the shoe-box type. Mr.
F reeman liuas converted this into a model
school room and has built to it an ad
ditional school room, two teachers'
rooms, two cloak rooms and a nice pi
azza with turnedl columns. A rolling
partition wvill be installed between the
two rooms, thus insurmng auditorium fa
cilities for public meetings. The build
ing has been paintedl outside and is one
of the prettiest and neatest school
buildings in the county. Trustees wvho
are contemplating building soon wvould
do well to see this school house. The
GlIassy Mountain school grounds consis ts
of four acres of land covered wvith a
beautiful oak grove. The plans of the
newv school building were made by Prof.
Lee of Clemson, Supt. Ilallum of Pick
ens and Mr. Freeman. Both Mr. Free
man andl the school district are to be
congratulated upon the excellent job
done by him. Glassy Mountain school
district has already voted in favor of
lev~i'9om mills tax and will enter the
g Eou school system at the beginning
of the ne xt session. There are aboui
Ininety pupils within the district, anc
with their newv building and an addi
tional teacher Glassy Mountain will, ii
a year or- so, take its place among the
best rural gradled schools in this sec
tion. The school house is situated near
Griffin church. The trustees of this
district are Messrs. J. R. J. Anthony,
W. H. Anthony and HI. D. Lesley.

News Bulletin.
A recent bulletin sent out by
the federal census bureau, en
titled "'National and State Rev
enues and Expenditures, 1913
and 1903," gives us a chance to
study North Carolina in con
trast with the rest of the States.
The statements that follow are
based on this bulletin.
Is our state government un
necessarily expensive? H o w
does it compare with other
states? In answer we find that
the per capita cost of our state
government in 1913 was $1.46.
It was more in every other State
in the Union, South Carolina
alone excepted.
The per capita cost ranged
from $1.46 in North and South
Carolina to $10.45 in Nevada.
