The Laurens Graded School has opened with tho largest attendance that it has ever had. The teachers are competent, faithful and earnest in their work. Tho pupils arc bright, and as a rule studious and well be haved. These things being true, why should not the school do as good work as the best schools In the State, or at 1 n^t as the average school? We think that it does. So far as we know, no pupil has finished the Ninth Grade and failed to enter the Freshman Class of any College. The fact is nearly every College In tho State will receive into the Freshman class without examina tions pupils who have finished the Ninth Crude. No puplb who have finished our Ninth tirade and entered College have failed to stand high in their classes, most of them standing at or near the head of their class. If pupils who finish the Ninth Grade can enter tho Freshman class in Col lege, why can not those who finish the Tenth tirade enter the Sophomore Class? The 10th Grade is a review Grade and out Ut Je work is done in the 10th Grado in au -ance of what has been done in the 7th, *th and 0th Grades. Tt has been a question with the Trustees and the Superintendent whether this review course or an advanced course would he better, but as most pupils who attend College go from the 0th Crude we run the review course to more thoroughly prepare for the du ties of life pupils who cannot go to College. Besides those finish the 10th Grado work are better prepared for College, because of this review. As stated above we believe the work in the 1.aureus Graded Schools will com pare favorably with the work done in other Graded Schools of the State, but we believe with proper co-operation between patrons and teachers better work can be done. There are rcvoral reasons why tho schools are not accomplishing the best possible results. The first that I will mention and per haps the llrst in importance is the de sire on the part of parents to have then* children advanced too rapidly.-? The teachers desire the pupils to ad vance rapidly and the Superintendent desires it. When tho parent comes with an earnest request that the child be put forward and promises faithfully that the child shall do the work, we too often yield and allow children to undertake work for which they are not prepared. What is the result? The child falls behind, becomes discour aged, loses interest, is inattentive, gets into mischief and tho work of tho whole Grade is retarded . In tho next place some who are pre pared for the work at tho bediming of the session spend their afternoons in idleness, are absent from school or in some way get behind their classes and are soon as much hindrance to their classes as those who have been pro moted unprepared. A servant that would lose a day or two every week and spend a good portion of his tlmo strolling about the streets would be re garded as utterly Incompetent, but some fathers and mothers seem to think that thoir children can miss days from school, run about the streets in the af ternoons and still do school work. Let me say with all earnestness that going to school is a business, an important busi ness, tho chief and almost only bust* ness of mod children. I know that children need recreation; 1 know they have a right to their frolic and fun and 1 would not put one unneessary re straint upon them,but if they are ever to become true men and women much restraint and guidance is necessary.
