This school began the 19th of November last, and will continue eight months. We arc now in our fifth month, and at the end of sixth month we will vacate for a few weeks, after which wc will tinish the term. 1 have enrolled forty pupils, and an average from twenty-live to thirty. I think the daily session should be from S a. m. to 4 p. m., and an hour and three quarters rec reation during that time. Children should begin making figures and letters on the slate as soon as they enter school. 1 am in favor of the rod if it is necessary to use it; and it is a very good idea to keep one handy, whether you use it or not. In regard to the latest text books, I use them in part. As to the Constitutional Con vention, I haven't kept up with politics enough to make any sug gestions whatever on the subject. As to the suggestion made some weeks since in regard to doubling the free school term, I am in favor of it, and hope to sec the plan adopted. I am truly glad to see the people of Laurons County become inter ested in schools. There has been such little attention given toward educating the children of our county in the last few years, and an edu cation is becoming so necessary for a person to make a success in life that it is the duty of every parent to use every possible chance to ed ucate their children. Have them to study at night>sand you will find it a great help to the child as well as to the teacher. Don't depend entirely on the teacher, but lend him a helping hand in every way you can. If you tec or hear any thing going wrong about the school go and tell the teacher; it is very probable that he don't know any thing about it. Children keep things from the teacher very often and tell their parents. 3 '.s't the school and show" ait interest in the" work. A few of the parents have visited this school, and wc hope and want to sec all of them during the session. In regard to the summer school, I am heartily in favor of it, and would be glad of the opportunity of attending stich a school. As the honor roll of this school for the two last months got mis placed I will scud it in this piece.

My second term as editor expires with this issue, and as our Teachers' Association failed to meet on last Saturday no one has been elected to succeed me; but this being the bus iest part ol my school term I am ) compelled to resign. However, we arc glad to announce that Prof. I this JOO'l James A. Madden, our efficient School Commissioner, has kindly consented to run the column at least until another editor is elected * by the Association. In behalf of our readers, and also in my own behalf, I desire to thank . those who have assisted us in this work. We believe that some good suggestions have been made, wc trust some good results W followed. It is no easy matter for one whl has a hu ge school to manage to get up a good readable column every j week. Hut we have done the best lhar wc could under the circum stances, and wc tiust this will at least be a step to \omcthing thl will arouse the peopl<TSrjwiu?J4i subject of education. And may the day soon come that our public schools will be raised to the proper, standard in every respect, and that every child, however poor, may ; have the benefit of a free education in the public schools of South Car olina. Wc desire also to thank the cdij tois ot the Hbrald and Advertiser for their kindness. Ami let us urge that every teach er in Laurcns County contribute something to Prof. Madden for the Teachers' Column. The more we do the wiser we arc. B. Y. Cui.uk ivtson.
