We would not say any more about these subscriptions, but we do no1 believe that. those subscribers wh< are in arrears realize how much it would mean to us if they would all at least pay thd back dues, if they do not with to renew. We have recently gone over our subscription books. How much do you suppose is due The Sentinel on subscription in small amounts of from $1.00 to $3.00? More than $2,000. We do not believe there is a person but who is able to pay the small aumdunt due; but if there is, why, just come in and tell us and it will be all ri:ht. We will forget about it and tall: about what a good Christ mas we. had, and how hard we are going to work and make good times come back and show 'em that you can't keep a good man down. 'I'hese. small amounts do not mean, much to each individual, but all to. gether they mean much to us. In I fact, if you knew just how much it does mean to us every one of you would come in at once and pay. Let'- begin the New Year right. It is customai for weekly news papers to skip an issue the week after Christmas, but as The Sentinel has some advertisements which the law requires to be published this week we are unable to conform to the usual custom. However, we are publishing an abbreviated paper this PICKENS i.EADS Greenville Daily News. From last to first place in education is the splendid record made by Pick ens county within the short period of ten years. In 1910 Pickens coun 'y 'tood at t': bottom of South C.."r lina counties in the percentage of illiterates. Ten years later, accord ing to the United States census Pia-;ens county had a smaller per centage of illiterates than any other county in the state. And Pickers is continuing to ad I Vence since Uncle Sam last made his count. Ten :,ears ago there weare forty-four schools in Pickens county - in which only one teacher presided. Today there are but four of these, the remainin' forty having passed out of the familiar "one teacher" class. F. Van Clayton, the young mar who heads the educational system of the county, has cause to feel proud ol Pickens' posit ion in an educational way. Hie can experience the thril of achievement which Conmes witi success in any worthy undertaking. But greatest of all the pleasur< - shoul be the consciousness that th< citizens of Pickens are solidly unitet in support of their schools. that siolid front has been turned on illiter cy and that in thei initial drive Scovering a ten-year peritd, educatior triumphed in Pickens and is now~ flourishing like the green bay tree. Smaller in area, population and re sources thani many other counties Pickens deserves much praise. Th< fastness of the mountains, the cold air often working a hardship on those Swho had many miles, to go, all thest and other obstacles have not preven ted thei youth of Pickens from get Sting an, education. Those who know the Pickens spirit believe that the "great white coun ty'' will continue to lead in the field wherei it now holds sway. Residents of the section named for Andrew Pick ens are not ntade of material which gives up and 'other Carolina counties are going to have the fight of their life if Pickeuns is displacedl from the head of the educational list. GOING T1O SCHOOL PAYS WELL Greenville Piedmont. Tlhe fol lowing statements are made in a lFederal government publication: ['very day spent in school pays the child $9.02. Here is the proof: Uneducated laborers earn on the avel~ge $500~ per year for forty e -atotal of $20,000. High school graduates earn on the average $1,000 per 'ear for forty yearsJa total of $40,000. This educa'tion required twelve years of school (of 180 'hys each) a total 'of 2,160 'thys bzl sehool. If 2.100 days at, school, add $20, 000 to the income for life, then each day at school adds $9.02. -The child that stays out of school to earn less than $0.00 per clay is losing money, not making money. Yet there are thousands of chil dren in South Carolina who are not going to school,' or who have been taken unnecessarly out of school by parents. . Moreover, the percentage of en rolled pupils in regular attendance inl South'Unroini schools was only 67ku1 in 1920. S sss t most be exper ience I ever got", says MaysPaterson, the noble sopr'ano of the Mrotopoli tan Opera Company who is to give a recital in Textile Hall at Greenville on Januar" 2nd, was leading the singing in the little churches in south ern Wisconsin when X went with my father on his "circuit". Sometimes I had a piano to play, sometimes a pipe organ, sometimes a mealodeon, but more often . I jlst stood up-I was only a kid-and lindd. oft the hymns for others to follow. This at least taught me.- self-possession which has never deserted me, entire ly, although I'll confess that sonic times I have had very weak knees, and it taught me how to stand before an audience. You know audiences don't. differ very much and if by your manner you can win a lot of Scan dinavian farmers in Wisconsin, you ought to be able to do the same thing with an a'udience in 'Cernegie Hall, New York. You know about the Colonel's lady and Judy O'Grandy well it's the same with audiences and the more I see of them, the more I am convienced that I am right.
