Mlod ern buildings, designed by Clemson College, have been erected at Long View, .lt. Olive, Hurtington, -unters ville (Bethany), and school district, Jacks No. 4. Oakville has added one room. Plans are now being perfected for buildings at Bethlehem, Reedy Grove, where a consolidation was brought about last summer and at Wadsworth-Youngs, a school just re cently consolidated. Other schools ex pecting to build during the summer are Mt. Bethel, Ebenezer, Fleming, Ekom, Ora, Clinton and Ilarmony. Taxes or bonds have been voted at Green Pond, Princeton, Bethlehem, Reedy Grove, Laurens, Wadsworth, Youngs, Mt. Olive, Warrior Creek, Rid dies Old Field, Oakville and an elec tion has been called at Goldville. Elections for increasing tax failed at Whiloh and at Mt. Pleasant. Over $2,000 has been spent in better eqiuipment-desks, maps, books, etc. The State Department of Education sends out a score card for rating coun try schools. 'T'his card is so arranged that the building counts sixteen points, the lightilug six; the equipment thirty one, grounds twelve, community ac tivity ten, the teacher twelve. The schools scoring between 90 and 100 are rated as A; 75 to 90, 11; 60 to 75, C; 15 to 60, 1); and below 45, 1. The number of months the school runs is placed before the letter and the num her of teachers after the letter. Thus 5112 means a school of it rating with an eight. The schools of the county are now classified as follows: twenty live It schools, t wIInty-live ( s 0hools, ten 1) Schools. and IVo I: s(hools. in 191:3 they rei'stered three 11 schools.

In the live high schools there are forty-eight teachers.

'iThe following data obitied from 1)r'. .ilihnson, Priesident of Winthriop College stands evidence to this fact. in 1912 there were t~wo schiolarshiips open to Laurens county at Winthrop College. Twenty girls stood the ex amination. The average grade was 43.7. Five iupils made zero in nmathe maties and eight other grades were 15 ormess.n In 1913 no scholarship was open. Twenty-two girls stood the examina tion. The average grade was 49.1 Three pupils made zero in mathematics and seven other grades were 20 or less. In 1914 two scholarships wore op. en. Twenty-nine girls stood the ex amination. The average grade was 51.2. One pupil made zero in mathe matics and six other grades were 25 or less, In 1915 one scholarship was open to the Piedmont counties. Twenty three girls stood the examination. The average grade was 62.7. The lowest grade 27, was made by one pupil, four other grades of 30 were given. In 1915 one scholarship was open at South Carolina University. Three boys stood the examination. The av erage grade was 60.3. Lack of information prevents giving results of Clemson college and other college examinations. it is interesting to note that of the 97 pupils whose college entrance record has been given oily seven are from one-teacher schools. Compulsory education has been vot ed in the following schools: Trinity Ridge, Ora, Patton, Ebenezer, Beth any, Youngs, Green Pond, Eden, Barks dale, Mt. Gallagher, Waterloo, Mount ville, Rock Bridge, Lanford, Central, Prospect, Grays, Palmetto and Lang ston. There are thirty working School lm provement Associations in the county. The associations represent interested bands of women striving to attend the following goal: 1. Minimum term of 7 months. 2. Local tax in every district. :3. 'EnrollimenI of every child of school age. -1. Regular attendance of every pupil. a. Al least one tenher for every 50 pupils. 6. Mlodern building:; with muodern ('411u1i 1men t. 7. iicartly co-operation between the home and school. During the year these associationsi have raised over .$1..~> which has been si'1lit in better cequipmeut and by co operating with the teachers they have made the schools community centers. Night schools were taught at leth any, Watts 1ill, Laurens Mill, Firiend ship, Youngs, Goldville, Green Pond, Woodrow Wilson, Copeland. Twenty six teachers assisted in this work, 350 pupils were enrolled, and 190 perfect attendance buttons were given at the close of the twelve night session. Re ports show that the pupils of these schools were greatly interested. Tihe ages range ii ii wel ve ydars to fif ty. In Watts 1111 the oldest, fifty years, and the youngest, eighteen years were in the beginners depart ment. In the Laurens Mill the oldest and youngest were found in the ad vanced department. Some concluisions drawn fromt the above facts: 1. The people are demonstratingu their faith in the s;chtoobi by giving in cr"eas;ed finatncial support. .

Weathers and daughtnes, Consistency Y OU want a motor car that will serve you consistently. You want to know that four car can be relied upon day in and day out. You want high mileage per gallon of gasoline and freedom from repairs and readjustments. And you want these things, not occasionally, but continuously-day after day. On these qualities the Maxwell has made good. It has proved its wokth. Whei the Maxwell stock touring car set the World's Motor Non-Stop Mileage Record a short time ago it travelled for 44 consecutive days and nights and its performance was con sistent. It went about 500 miles each and every day. It went within a small fraction of 22 miles to every gallon of gasoline. It went the whole' dis tance of 22,000 miles-probably fur- . ther than you would travel in two years-without any repairs or read justments. Every one of eight tires (two sets) went just about 9,800 miles and the others finished in good shape. For consistency and relia bility this record far excels anything we ever heard of. You can get a Maxwell, an exact duplicate of the record breaking stock car, on the partial payment plan we have perfected. All you have to do is to make the initial payment, then take the car and pay the balance as you ride. The unusual value of the Maxwell, to gether with our easy payment plan of purchase, is bound to dispose of our allotment of cars very quickly. Better make your reservation now, delivery later if you prefer. Touring Car, $655. Roadster, $635 Prices F. 0. B. Detroit LAURENS MOTOR C R CO., LAURENS, S. C.
