Ware Shoals, H. F. D. 2. Editor The Advertiser: Will you please allow me a little space to make a few suggestions. 1 am an old farmer living up he e and have been raised up in old fogy ways Ilk'; a great many old people. The times and people arc not now like they were fifty years ago when some of us iwere boys. 1 will say that if some of Us had had the opportuni ties then that boys have now, we might not have been so fogy now. l have just read the Columbia speech of .Mr. McCravy, of Easley, and I think he's on the right line in regard to ed ucation. People ought to br Interest ed enough in their children to send them to school without compulsion, but. as above stated, a great many are unlearned themselves, nave been raised up In an old fogy way, an.' don't realize the Importance of educa ting their children. If they could have their eyes opened and be made to Bee the importance of an education at this age, as it is more important right now than ever before a compulsory education law would not be neces sary. But it' they won't wake up and porsistently refuse to send their chil dren to school, 1 think Mr. McCravy's bill is right in ha/ing some sort of compulsory law to force people to send their children to school. Some claim that it's taking their personal ILberties from them. A man that is so selfishly working tor that almighty dollar, so much so that he can't spare his children for school, should have no liberties. In this respect, this old fogy was raised where there was but two of us boys aud our father, like most of men, needed his boys to work. Schools at that time were only one in a hill and "fur" between, but' Father was detcnmdned that we should have some learning and he sent one this year and the other next, walking four or five miles. Hoys these days, where they have to walk two miles, complain that the school is too far. This old fogy believes In fewer schools and better schools, if it does necessitate some to walk some little distance. It will give the pupils plen ty of exercise. If course every man can't have a school at bis door. I notice the idea for blending two or more schools together Is getting to be very common. You see, by having it this way, there is a chance to get thej very best of teachers. Right here, I would like to make a suggestion. Here) is Poplar Springs Hroworton and Mt. Rethel. All lie so that they could bej blended together very nicely and we could have a fine high school. The pa trons of each school should think about this matter and let's see if we can't get this in Shape so we will be up with the times. The light of education is shining brilliantly in other communi ties and why can't we get into the light? One other suggestion and 1 am through. While we 'Work for the high school, let's get interested in a rail road. There is a trolley lint spoken of from Basley to Anderson. One al ready runs from Anderson to Helton. Why can't some of the enthusiastic enterprising railroad men take bold and run it from Helton across this county to Laurens, from there to Clin ton, from there, by the way of Cross Anchor, to Spartanburg. This enter prise would open up a good country and be of great service to us. This is one of the best counties In the state, if he had railroad facilities. You railroad men think of this suggestion from an old fogy. "An Old Fogy."
