The death of Col. John W. Perguson
marks the passing of anot her one of
those fine old South Carolina gentle
men, born andI )re( under the cil
tured and chivalrie atmosphere of the
Old South, and bearing out 'i his
life's work the impress of the early
years. Honest, fearless, with a strong
'mind anid trie heart, lie was a man to
be admired. it was a fitting close to
a busy life that lie should be mortal
ly stricken While going to continue
his labors. A long and honorable life
of industry and usefulness is ended,
one which a younger generation inmight
well emutilate.

WashIngton, May 4.--Pendinig re
ceIpt of futrther ohllal adhees, Pres
ident Wilson r'efrained ftrotm comment
today on the Glermian sutbmaine at
tack on the Amnerlean steamer F'ulf
lIght. The presnident saId lie expected
a full rep~ort from Consul Stephenfs at
.Plymouth, E~ngland, as well as frotm
Ambassador Gerard at Blerlin.
When asked concerning the case of
Leon G. Thresher, an Amerlean
drowned whmen the Br'itishi steatner
Falaba was suntk by a German sub
inailne, Pi*esident Wilson revealed
that no repr'esentationms had as yet
been madle to Germany, but that ver'y
probably It would be treated wIth the
other cases that had arisen.
Early today the p~residlent and See
retary Btryan conferr'ed at length, bult
it is said they dId not express any
liini of nolicy in the war zone eases.
Do The Patrons Want Iti
it is understood In the city that all
teachers applying for positions in the
lAturens schools for 1915-16 have been
informed that the hours from nine un
til - four will perhaps be adopted in
the fall, or at least that the trustees
reserve the right to adopt these hours'
for the school, if they see fit.
The writer of this card wishes to
make the point that the trustees
should not agree to tils plan without
Ihey have every assirance that a
rge inajority of the patrons of tile
sthool favor the seven hour session.
The schools are paid for by the tax
payers and every tax-Iayer and ev
ery patroni should have a voice in this
matter. There is much to be said
against the longer hours and radical
changes should not be made In the
school without they are first well con
silered.
Tle fIrst and greatest objection to
this long session is that it will gradui
ally prove Injurious to the health of
the children, who are subjected to it.
It does not contribitte to the healtth
of growing children to. be confineid in
a room with from forty' to fifty other'
clildren, eacht child a hot bed for ev
ery conceivable germ and, If the long
et' h[oIrIs ar'e adopted, two hours which
inight be spent itt the openi alt ate
lost. The arguient is brought that
te childretn are better ofT at school
but the childreni of Lau ens do not
come from Ihe sluils. They almost in
variably come from comfortable
homes and ought to be better off there
Ilhan anywhere else in the world. The
sevetn hour session is meant for the
childreni of the great cities, many of
whomit do not even speak E~nglish, and
11C: warm school building and howl or
souip served in the building for a few
pennies is paradise to them but this
does tiot aPply to a town like LAutcns,
where the actual pticli of Iloverty, as
felt inl crowded city districts, is uti
kiown. If however, the children are
to be at sellool all lay it would be well
for a hot lunch of chocolate, soup, etc.
to be proided for thetm and perhaps
the trhtstees will.arrange for tihis. Oth
erwise, V 1 poor little Children will
cat a hui -led breakfasi, Ilunclh on
sandwiches, pickles, canidy an1d the
L'ke unwholesome food, and go hiotme
in liost cases to a cold supper, for the
serv'a nts of tihe present day are not
easily perstaded to prepare cither hot
1111e or a six o'clock ditnnter'. Wh.l:at
itte(t will this manner of living pro-1
dluce tipotn growing clhildren? tave' theI
t111stes thoight of this? Hlave they
sought informat lotn on this point. froit
Ihe lphysiclians of the city? Of course,
if they have determuined to have a Iu
tliCiou luc hi(eon served in the build
ing, this objection vaitishtes.
'ihe Second objection is Iliat the
teachers will very naturally take care
of theniselves, and if Ithey can get as
good salaries and less work in other
schools, as th opp] otunltliity offers, they
will -o Plsewhere. Some of them are
residents of Laurens and w%'ilh sulymit

stanices teach between foi'ty and fifty
I e the truistees have more money to
aPOend no4w ul ever, thme vitai need oIf
the school Is oir will be more teach
er's, not longer' hiours.
Anothier objection Is the qutestion
of music. There are easily betweent
thirty and fifty girls In the school,
who are studying music. There are
at least half a dozen excellent teach
era In town and they all have pupils.
H-ow are the children to be taught be
tween four and six in the afternoon
and when are they to practice? For
a number or yeairs one of the blest mu
sicians in the South has been a resi
dent of Lautrens. ThIs fact has made
it possible for many L.aurons gir'ls to
go to college eqluipped not only to
graduate in the literary departments
of the colleges but to obtain a degree
ini music at thme end of four years at
the best schools in the United States.
Ar'e the chiidren now growing uip to b~e
deoptrived bly action of the trunsteos, of
this very unusual adlvantage. Have
thec trustees considered thIs proposed
change from the standpoint of the
musIc puipil? Or, is it possible that
they hold a knowledge of music and
the wider culture it brings- with it, as
of small values?
Of course if the trustees can estab
Ish a 'musical department in the
chool and put in charge of it a teach
ir, who will rank with the best the
omniunity has had, this objection al
;o ceases to have force.
Finally, do the Laurens people do
ore this new schedule? If the pa
rons want it, the trustees are entire
y Justilled. But have the people ox
rtessed themselves as cager for it and
v!'at is by far most important, have
.hey carefully considered all that it
b'ill mean?
For approximately fIlfteen years the
battrens school has held a high po
4ition in the school system of the
state. The year which is coming to
t close has beeit very satisfactory. rihe
-xhibits at the recent school fair'
4ave abundant testimony of the filn
work being done.
How can the trustees risk tanper
ing with the school, creating a dissat
Isfaction and irritation that will not
Dasily be silenced, when they already
possess a first class plant, well organ
ized and running smoothly?
