Out* Graded Schools.
Every progressive town and city in
these days has a sys tern of graded
schools, supported us a rule by a spec
ial tax, The taxpayeas of this city
contribute six mills on the dollar for
our schools, that is to say four-mil Is in
addition to the regular two mills State
levy for school purposes. There is tho
poll tax which every man pays
besides. Therefore the man who pays
taxes on $5000 worth of property pays
about thirty-one dollars for the schools.
This burden falls on evorybody who
pays taxes and any person who will
take tho trouble to look around him for
a moment will discover at a glance
who pays the bulk of tho public school
expenses.
All this is exactly as it should he and
we bollevo that it is directly to tho ad
vantage of the property owners of tho
town to cheerfully vote this tax in
order to encourage a population of
thrifty intelligent people to livo in
Laurens. Without graded schools a
mechanic with four children to keep
ut school 'Would 1)0 ut a Yearly' exponsc
of. say twenty dollurs, in tuition feos.
Heretofore our schools have charged
a fee of two dollars a year for each pu
pil, but it has boon impossible to keep
the schools open for nine months. At
the beginning of the present session one
dollar of this feo was collected as us
ual but the second dollar has not been
collected und will not bo. In order,
however, to maintain the schools for
nine months it has been found neces
sary to charge a small monthly tuition
fee, twenty-live cents for tho two low
est grades, lifty for the next throe
and seventy-live for the four highest,
but these fees will be charged for only
four months, possibly live, if we un
derstand the arrangement. When it
is remembered that one-half of tho
two dollars is not collected this year,
it will bo seen thai tho tuition is prac
tically a very small amount. Just
such a system of tuition fees has been
found necessary in nearly all the
graded schools of tho State and in
most eases it is higher than in Laurens.
If it can bo found that one cent of
the nubile school monies is expended
unwisely, unnecessarily or extrava
gantly and that the schools can be run
cheaper than they are being run, then
there will be good reason to complain
at the tuition foes. Tho facts are
though that we have a board of trus
tees composed of sensible and compe
tent business men who are managing
the schools with tho greatest economy
consistent with eftlolohoy and they rec
ognize tho necessity of theso mouthy
charges.
The Advertiser believes that our
system of free schools is the most val
uable nubile possession of our town and
that nine-tenths of the poorer class of
our citizens as well as the largo tax
payers on whom tho load really falls
will agree with us in this view. ,,. .
If there, is any poor man in this town
with children to educate who thinks it
advisable to abolish the graded schools
THE ADVERTISER would like to hear
from him.
There are taxpayers in Laurens who
pay perhaps a hundred dollars for tho
education of other people's children.
They are not complaining.

Mr. Frank Sumerel has moved to

It seems that our school teacher has
a great tleal of business up about Dur

Mr. Ellison has charge of the Joshua

Owens Academy has changed its
