C.,l OY I E 1 3 1917 T m1 & Lueco Gunter Writes About Pickns Schoon Mr. Editor: It was the pleasure an< nrivilege of the state supervisor o1 rural echoOls to spend the past weep four days with the county superinten dent of education in the schools of Pick ens county. This was not the mos f favorable time to visit the schools o1 Pickens county because a very large number of country schools are not yel open for the fall session. This made distances between schools that were visited very far and made it impossible for us 'to reach as many schools, as the state supervisor ordinarily does reach in the course of a week's visitation. It was greatly regretted that most of the smaller schools of the county were not open, particularly those in the mountain sections. Our visitors were confined mostly to the rural graded schools. Many of these have not yet opened for the fall work. After the arrival of the state super visor on Tuesday time was left for just one visit that day, and this was made at Six Mile academy. This -is primarily a school for high school students under denominational control and has done good work for a number of years Ar 4 rangements have been made for a pub lie school department to be conducted in the course, Six Mile is weil equip ped with buildings for high school work and the visitors found a goodly number of boys and girls profiting by -the op. portunities offered at this school. Wednesday, Norris; Tabor and Cal houn were visited. All three of these schools are housed in excellent buildings with good equipment and. a splendid type of rural graded school work was being done. Norris and Calhoun have buildings that are comparatively new. These are well designed and well fin ished brick structures. The .attendance at Norris is not what it will he later in the year owing to so many of the boys being out for the gatheirng of.the crops. But the large building at this place will likely bezfully.used this year as the en rollment last year was sufficient to fill the b'uiding. The question will -be the supply of teachers to do the' teaching.

Thy bettor opportunities of gradation an classification-of pupils 'in this consols dated school over the -old plan of two schools are readily discerned. Thursday morning was spent at th Dacusville school. This is one of th older rural graded schools of the count and the state supervisor of rural school had long been looked forward to a vilsi here. The school Thursday morning itself illustrated the advantages of the consolidated rural graded school. Thy children seemed happy in their schoo life and while happy in their school lif< they .were at the same: time just a earnest in their school work. The vis itors were especially impressed with th large number of large boys and girl attending this school. Such a conditio) is not found in the small oneteache schools. Friday morning Mauldin school wa visited. This is at present a two teache school in a building that has been in us for some time. Funds have been pro vided to erect a new building for thi school and the needs of the school ar such that the people of the community ought soon to. decide where this nev building should be located and begin th erection of the house. This is an im perative need' at Maulding school if th children are to have the opportunitie that ought to be provided. While the schools were not in sessioi it was a pleasure to visit and inspec several of the new buildings in Picken county, Prater, Reunion and Roanoke These buildings were all erected in ac cordance with the state plans and full meet the needs of our country schools In the course of his visit it was the pleasure to the state supervisor to make a call at Wesleyan College at Centra and to see something of the splendii work done by this institution and t< make a brief visit at the Pickens higl school Friday morning., The county snperivtendents and th state supervisor had the pleasure als of mieeting with the patrons of, th Garvm and King's districts 6n Thursda to confer with them 'bout the consol dation of these two districts. At pre, ent there are three one-teacher school in the two districts. These people ar realizing the insufficiency of this typ of school to give the education the EDW V E have each and ever] n Prices.

It is proposed 3 to erect a consolidated school in the 3 vicinity of Pleasant Hill church. This certainly should be done. The state r aid available to erect the building and for maintaining the school ought soor to ha taken advantage of. I Friday afternoon a conference was held with a few patrons of the Croswel - district with reference to building a new 3 house and maintaining a rural graded 3 school in Croswell district. Croswel district in conjunction with Dayton dis . trict has the opportunity of organizing for elementary and high school work - that few districts in South Carolina pos. 3 sess. The wealth of the district makes a it possible to provide a type of educa. tion in these two adjoining districts un. surpassed by the high schools of Pickens t county, and yet at less expense that s these high schools must bear. The cor .poration wealth in these two districts - makes it possible and this wealth to gether with the state aid hould bc utilized in the interest of the children, 3 It was a pleasure to the state super. 3 visor to observe that the new superin I tendent of education in Pickens county 1 is giving himself so industriously to the > work of the schools There was every I evidence in the teachers meeting Satur day that the teachers of the county ar< a going to give him their whole-heartet support in making the public school sys a tem of Picken's county ay efficient at y ^ pessible. The state supervisor thor ouglily enjoyed the'entire week and vil look forward with pleasure to the re s turn to the county with the earliest pos e sible opportunity.

Bright and shining as the stars is the (lear little face and bright eyes, only watching iand waiting for you, lear mother. The little body was laid to rest at tSix Mile.
