THE PROGRESS OF CHEROKEE'S SCHOOLS TEACHERS ARE BEING BETTER PAID. County Superintendent of Education J. L. Walker Talks Entertain ingly About the Schools. In an interview with the Ledger min County Superintendent of Edu cation. J. L. Walker, gives some in teresting facts concerning onr public schools. What progress has been made in the Rural schools in the last year or two," was asked. There has been improvement in several ways. In the first place, one good sign of progress is that the sal aries of teachers are being gradual ly raised. This Is very Important, and necessary- The salaries are yet too low. for our best teachers. In faet they have been ridiculously small. As soon as we are able to pay better prices for teaching, we will get better prepared teachers.” "How about the school houses and Lvneral equipment of the schools?" "In this respect we have made great progress, having put In over three hundred additional school desks of the best make, and guaran teed /nr fifteen years, and thirty more good black boards. A good many schools are yet without the be*t desks, hut I hope to furnish ev- ; eryone of them, where needed, this! winter.” "How about your school houses?" "Well, I consider we have some as good and comfortable as anywhere eiee. and a few far above the average rural school buildings. Most of otrr school houses have beet greatly im proved within the past three years. We have built and are In course of building, to the limit of nearly $3,000. Still there is a pressing need of bet ter buildings in some of the school districts. Our people are beginning to take more pride in their school buildings, and they are beginning to realize that no workman, however skilled, can do satisfactory wort? without good tools. Teachers are de manding better equipment.” Will you mention another improve ment?" was asked. Another special feature of ad vaucment, worthy of note, is the spe eia) interest taken in rural libraries. I consider this one of the most bene ficial steps in school development. Some libraries have been establish ed now, over a year and I can see marked improvement, and hear of more through the teachers. We now have several hundred volumns in these many libraries, representing the very best reading matter for the pupils." What about the conditons governing the establishing these libraries?" The conditions for obtaining them are (|iiito simple, and easy Any school can have a library of seventy- five or a hundred choice books at a vcp low cost When one is desired, the patrons of the school have only to donate $l ,, 1 then the local lioard of trustees must give $10 These amounts are turned over to nt\ and • county hoard devotes $10 more. 1 ’iii'ii report It to the Stale superin tendent of education, who at once s* iris me an additional $lo. This makes :t total of $10 and gives to any .'thool a neat hook ease, worth $10, and J" 11 worth of books selected from a long list of the most select books.” Here tli superintendent of education handed the reporter a printed list of these books, which indeed is of the highest, standard of reading for any- 1)0 lv ‘How about the change made in the school Itooks?" As far as the citange itself goes, tin county hoard has nothing to do, hut it is made by the State board of education. Not all of the hooks were changed, however. The State board requires all bool s, recently adopted, to he used in the public schools and when a change was made, the law re quires these new hooks to lie given for the old ones at half price, and in\es until the 1st of September, 1907. to make the change. The changing of some text books is very necessary, after five or seven years usage. You take the old readers (Johnson’s for instance), these readers have been in school so long, that the reading had become so montonous that it was next to impossible to get any interest at all The large majority of our teachers were in favor of this parti cular change, and the same reason for changing other hooks This adop tion will stand for five years, and for thv best interest of the rural schools. 1 wish the natrons of every school In Cherokee county would get these new 1xmiU« as soon as possible. For the reason, after obtaining the judgment of all the best ‘^achers in the coun try. tlie concencus of opinion is that a uniform system of text books is the most pressing need of the schools. By getting the school books uniform, the teacher can reduce the number of classes greatly, and hence devote mo-e valuable lime to each class.’’ "If you are going to publish this, let me again mention the matter of equipment, and 1 trust every school trusteo will take heed. The best ti-achers in the world cannot exrvect good results. If there is nothing to work with, the parent can’t expect it. and the trustees should not expect a teacher to have the best order In school unless the children are In a comfortable house, and comfortably seated. If this Is given, then we look for good teaching and good order and great satisfaction to the community.” “How many children are enrolled in the schools of the county and what is the approximate cost of running them?” was asked. “In round numbers there are about 5,200 pupils, and when all the schools are in session, it costs about $150 per da/ or $3,000 per month of twenty days. This does not include inciden tals, such as wood, repairs, etc., etc.” “What about these special school districts vour county board has estab lished?" "This is one of my pet schemes and some of the districts have greatly improved their schools by special levies. This gives more money and th can rim longer, and pay better salaries, and is a big Improvement for any community. While I am a great advocate for a special school levy for school purposes, it does not suit every school, yet I am sometimes astonished that some districts refuse to establish them, when their money is inadequate to sustain their school as long as the children can attend. There is nothing complicated about fixing a special district and the legis lature in its wisdom has done well on this line, and our people could asl: nothing more. We have them rang ing from half mill to four mills levy— the limit. There are six special dis tricts in the county and three more pending. I hope soon to see nearly every district in the county made smaller, and voting a special levy with which to run their schools long er, at the same time enabling them to ray the teachers better salaries, which they so much deserve. Then we will expect a great improvement all along the line la education.” “How about the teachers of the county?” “I am glad you asked that question. Under the eircumsta’noes. our teach ers. as a whole, are doing the very best they can. They are noble, de voted andf conscientious workers. In mv constant contact with them, I am confident they are ambitious to teach their pupil* and are painstaking every way. Of course there are some better prepared than others, but they all need encouragement from the patrons and trustees and not so much harsh criticism. They are putting forth every effort to advance the education al interest of the country. They need a word of cheer. Few people have little idea what a school teacher has to put up with. I cannot talk any longer, but will say that we. the conn- tv board, are going to do our best to furnish every interest of the Chero kee county schools." W. W. FINLEY ELECTED. He Has Been Elected Southern's Pre sident. New York. Dec. 5—Mr. W W. Finley, who for a number of years lias been the second vice president of the Southern Railway, was today elected president to succeed the late President - Samuel Spencer. Mr. Finley has been closely asso ciated with President Spencer during the past few years, and it is thought that his plans of operating the road will he in accordance with those of the late president.

A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop- ular People and Short Items of that Section. Wilkinsvllle. Dec. 3.—Some women are “skade” to stay by themselves. If the truth is known they, many of them, are “fraid” of that thing called work, but they are not “skade” to put their feet in the road and keep going until they have gathered in all the current gossip in the neighbor hood. Don’t be afraid “Slssie.” If old Nick were to catch you he would find he had hard stock on hand and gladly let you go. Mrs. J. L. S. says she never gets lonesome when she has work to do. Poor woman, she always finds com pany a plenty then, for she hardly ever sets down without work In her hands. With her this Is the rule and not the exception. Under the caption, “R. F. D. Infor mation,” The Ledger last Friday cop ied from P. M. Advocate a good piece of advice to patrons along these routes as well as the carriers them selves. For time mall riders have been greatly Imposed upon—they have been looked upon as a public convenience. A human conscience would be as hard to find along a mail route as in a convention of lawyers or cotton or other speculators. In days gone by we have known people to go to town and buy things and tell the merchant to send them by the mall rider. We are glad that the department is down on this accommodation idea. It’s right!, too, that it should be. Mrs. So-and-So wants a spool of thread or some little errand and Mrs. Gadabout has several things to send for without troubling her no ac count husband (if she has one) to go after it When all this is summed up it takes the time of the carrier and, perhaps, causes him to neglect some of his official duties. We have even heard of pupils wanting a car rier dismissed because “he won’t be accommodating." The “no liquor" idea is a commendable one. The refusal of the Supreme court to grant an extra session of court to try Tom Harris alias Tom Chil ders. for the murder of Mrs. Morgan is nothing more than a good many people expected. The grounds taken by the court are apparently good and sufficient for this refusal. Our people will hardly kick against it. But on the other hand we don't look for anything to be left undone by the next legislature that will cause a similar hitch provided such steps are made necessary hereafter. Rev. C. M Teal is expected to fill his pulpit at Abingdon Creek church on tlie second Sabbath of this month. We have great rejoicing at’ our home now since obi Black lias found a calf Miss Lizzie Mitchell, of Hopewell, came over last Saturday to see her brother. Rufus Estes, who has been sick for a long time. Mr Morgan Millwood has a fine graphophone. with some good pieces of music. "Morg." is a lover of mu sic— we pity the man who isn’t, if it is the right sort. Prof. R. C. Sarratt is teaching the Wilkinsville school.. We congratulate the patrons and pupils on getting the services of such a competent and ef ficient teacher as lie is We have some very poor material engaged in that bind of work and the communi ties in which they live, move and have their being as such, have our sympathies. We met Professor and Mrs. Davis Jefferies, of Union, at Gaffney last Friday. They were spending Thanks giving with relatives and friends in the city. The most of our neighbors have gotten the cotton out, ginned and sold.
