SCHOOL NEWS NOTES OE LAURENS COUNTY The Schools, Teachers and Pupils. At tho special examination .held in the court house last Friday the fol lowing applicants were present and took the examination: Miss Beth Shell. Alma Garretl Mittie Tott, .lessie Thompson. Mrs. Jessie Sparks, and Mr. S. J. Martin. Miss Mary Alice Stokes, who taught the L?ngsten school before Christinas, tor some reason could not return to complete the session. Miss Fowler of Colon has been secured for the position and Is already teaching. It is hoped that every trustee in the county will he present the first Monday in February at the organization of the County Trustees association. Tlie boys of the eight high schools in the county are planning for an ora torical contest in April. They hope to have one speaker from ?ach of the high schools. An expensive ?old med al will lie awarded to the best speaker of the evening. This is a good thing, boys, push it along. The Teachers' meeting in Columbia during the holidays was a rare treat for all who attended. Laurens teach ers were COnsplCUOUS because of their absence. Miss Maggie (Inrllllgton made ad dresses at both the Charlotte and Co 1 luinbia meetings for teachers during the holidays. steps are being taken to organize a hoy's corn club. This is a step In the right direction. It is hoped that our boys will take an interest 111 the club, and that some Laurens county boys will win the $.'?0 state prize of fered by the government. Mr. (). B. Martin former State Supt. of Educa tion, is now agent for the Hoy's Corn club and is doing most efficient work When asked why the government se lected corn as a crop to be encouraged he replied in part that after a boy learned corn thoroughly he would branch out Into other lines of agricul ture and that in the main it was for the purpose of diversifying the crops of the south so that the people would not be dependable upon the cotton l crop. The executive committee of the teachers association met in the office of the county superintendent of educa tion last Saturday and arranged a very interesting programme for the, next meeting of the association. The I programme and time of meeting will i be announced by the president. Asked about the organization of the j Trustees' association and the Boys' Corn club last week. Superintendent Ceo. L. Pitts said: I wisli to call attention to two mat ters of vital Importance to those inter ested in the advancement of education in Laurens county, and surely that In cludes everybody. The new year is upon us. May it he a happy, busy, prosperous one. ' This must of neCCOSity he a busy year Much ought to be and MUST he ac complished towards the perfection of our schools system. Success or fail ure is within our reach. Let us grasp the former witli a strong determination Few of us, even the trustee himself, realize fully the Importance of a school trustee Within his hands Is placed the management of the school grounds, buildings, furniture, funds, and gener al supervision. His position is a re sponsible one. and yet a very large per cent of them do not realize the fact. We have trustees who have nev er seen their tear her We have trus tees who have not seen Inside of the school building for two years. We have trustees who do not pretend to keep any account of the money expend ed. Many other such failures of per formance of duty might be mentioned. Of course. I speak generally. We have I some real live trustees who conscient iously realize the Importance of tholr position and are dolllg a noble work for the Children and community. I. as superintendent, need the hearty co operation of mj trustees. They need my assistance We all need the sup port and assistance of each Other. To this end It Is my purpose to organize a County Trustee's association. In un ion there Is fttrongth, power and devel opment. I would like to meet with all the trustees at least three times each year, in February, which Is the mid dle of the school session, when ques tions of school government and I in provemonl might be discussed to ad vantage, Then again in the early sum mer when teachers are to be elected, trustees appointed, bouses built and repaired, local taxation, consolidation, and many questions of like Importance will come up. And then again In the early fall Just as the kcIiooIh are op ening. At that time we need all the assistance possible that we may stnrt right In the new session. At these meetings trustees can exchange Ideas j and experiences with each other to a great advantage. Such an organization will need a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, nnd an exe cutive committee. I have consulted quite a number of trustees nnd all agree that the first Monday in Fobru aray will bo a suitable time for the organization. The meeting will he h< id in the court hon e from 1 to 2 o'clock Every trustee who has the best interest of his school :.t heart will be present. If you have difficulties which you can not overcome be prepared to put them before the association and somebody will be able to help you. If you have succeeded well along any particular line be prepared to tell it and you will be of great assistance to some one. The other matter is The Hoy's Corn club. It would require too much space to discuss this matter fully here. Any one interested can either see or write me for further Information. Everyone agrees that something must be done to make rur al life more productive and interesting. Our government, realiz ing this fact, lias taken the initiative step by offering ;i state prize and plac ing a man in the held as Instructor. Last year a 14 year old boy in one of the lower counties made 152 bushels of corn on one acre of land He re ceived a state prize of $50 and a coun ty prize of $2n and was given a free trip to Washington. The plan is this: Any school boy may join the club. There is no fee. He is to plant exact ly one acre in corn. He selects bis own ground, seed, fertilizer, etc.. and as far as possible he must do all the work himself. Of course there is no obiection to Iiis father or some one else advising and assisting him. Ib is to keep an exact record of the pro ceedings as to soil. seed, fertilizer, time of planting, system of cultivation etc. This paper is to be on exhibition on the day of awarding tlie prizes and will count 25 per cent. The prizes will be as follows: greatest yield, $25; best eared corn. $."?; best five stalks of corn. $.">: best variety of corn. $.">. This money does not come from the school fund. It will be raised by private subscription. Who will be first to contribute to this cause? I would like to have at least fifty boys to join this club. It will be of great good to each one who enters the contest ami will mean much to the county. If yon wish to join let me hear from you at once and 1 will send you a simple pledge to sign and you become a member of tlie club. Several have already ; id they were anxious to join and work for one or more of these prizes. Negro Shoots Negro.
