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.
For some., time the state supervisor
had been desirous of visiting the school

at Calhoun. The new building seem
to be entirely adequate to the needs o
the school and the community. 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

certainly should be done. The state

I Friday afternoon a conference was
held with a few patrons of the Croswel

LITTLE GIRL DEAD.
On October 29, the Death Angel
came into the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Jerry Riggins of Liberty, Route 3,
and claimed for its victim their dar
ling little Ressie Mae. She was spared
to her father and mother, whose
hearts are broken, for only two short
years.
God knows best. He loeth all things
well. He visited the flower garden and
plucked the fairest and sweetest bud
for his garden in heaven. 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. Funeral services conducted
by Rev. C. R. Abercrombie. N. P.
BIRTHDAY DINNER.
On October 26, children, grand
- children, friends and relatives of Mrs.
W. P. Pilgrim gathered at her home
to celebrate her 57th birthday, with
father and mother once again. At
noon the good ladies spread a large
table with good things to eat too nu
merous to mention. Any one witness
ing a nice dinner like this would not
realize war times was on.
The young people gathered around
the organ and made some nice music
and late in the afternoon they all
bade each other good bye, wishing
Mrs. Pilgrim many more happy birth
clays just like this one. P.
