To the Bdttor of The Advertiser: At the fust meeting of the Trustee association of the schools oi* I.aureus county the question of whether to al low (-noh school to elect its own trust tees or have the county hoard of edu cation appoint them, came up. About OS of the 100 trustees present favored the appointment by the county board of education, As wo hove said on sov eral occasions, too little Interest is taken In securing trustees for our i schools. This is a self-evident fact and is very forcibly Impressed upon one's mind when he sees some of the men who are serving as trustees In some of our schools in l.aurens Coun ty today. Now. Brother Trustee, don't you think we have you spotted and arc doing all this talk about you. We cer tainly do not intend a word of it for you; unless you are not doing your duty as a trustee to your school. II this bo the case, we intend every word of it for you and wo w isii svu knew how to put it stronger. Now don't you fly off the bandle and "cuss tis out" in next week's paper, for folks will know you are one of the sorry trustees we are getting alter, remember "the hit dop bowls.'" Just mend your ways by doing your duty and say nothing about it and no one will know that we talk ed about you and that you were once upon a time a sorry trustee. We want to tell you right now. If you expect one teacher to teach 50 scholars, il you arc not Irving to get a special levy on your district 1 > improve your school, it' you are liol trying to in crcKKO that short term school of youru by applying for some of the Garrl? fund, you are not doing your duty. 1 f you want to pay your leaehor tho salary of 20 yours ago. If you are op posed to levying extra tax in increase the usefulness of your school and to give the children a decent building in which to go to school, you uro out of date and need to be remodeled with correc t and Just ideas In keeping with and worthy of modern limes. Not every good man nor well-to-do j man Will make yon a first class trus tee. Unless a man is willing to give Ol Iiis time, money and visit his school occasionally. Inquiring Into the work ings of bis school, he ought not to be a trustee. Yes. we believe trustees should be appointed and not olectcd and we will undertake to give some oi our reasons for thinking so. An elec tion is called to secure I rush es for school A. The lime rolls around, it Is a busy season, cotton and corn need working and only a few, seine times five or six, are present. After waiting n while old brother Drown gets us and says: "Well to get things started I nominate my neighbor I'.i'.l Jones over there for one of our trustees, i'.ill Join a' son-in-law seconds the nomina tion and Jones Is elected. To return the compliment, .lone:-, nominates Brown and ho Is elected. There sits old neighbor Smith, it Just won't do to leave him out and consequently be is elected ami that is the way your trustees are (irst. elected. At the next election, to keep from having any hard feelings, in the community, some good old brother moves that the present board be reelCCted. and they are. j So Messrs Brown, Jones and Smith get a life sentence as trustees ol school a. Whether you believe it or not a lot of (dections are after this stylo. You say you have no voice In who your trustees are going to be it they are appointed and this is not right. If you nre at all interested you can very easily have a voice. Let some one get up a petition to the coun ty board of education asking them to elect Certain men for your trustees. Have a majority of your patrons sign this petition, and before you finish ?,el ling the petition signed you will have a fair idea what men the majority want as trustees. Take this petition to Superintendent Pitts and you will get the men you want, You may say ibis Is loo much work. Well it takes work to accomplish finvt!i!r*c. If you don't want (o bother with a petition lot every man in your district speak to Superintendent Pills when you see him and toll him whom you think would make good trustee! for your school. Superintendent Pills will soon find out the will of the ma jority and will make the appointments accordingly. Pitts will not toll tho other follow you asked to have him left out and someone put in his stead So don't he afraid to speak to him about this. Do It at once for they will be appointed about July ist. Patrons. If you do not speak to Sup erintendent i'itis about ibis mattet nor get up tho petition and are not suited with the appointments made, just blame yourself. The above re marks (ome under the work the I'rus tee association of tho schools of l.au rens county. We will not enter into any discussion with anyone in the papers on this subject. Those are our views and if you differ arid want to air your Ideas, on Ibis subject, you have that right. I for UQUORnndDRUG HABITS ^and SELECTED ~ NERVOUS; .,4 Treatment **\ luurmiu'-.
