R:e-port of Truitee. to Ibe Sub Ilitted to Citizenlm .3eeting Next Thurmay. The following is the annual report of the Trustees of the New berry (raled .Schools to be submitted to the vitizn meeting to be held on next Thursday. It is published for the information o)f those interested: The Trustees of Newberrv School District respectfully subnit to the citizens of Newberry the following re port on the orgaization, operation, cordition and need of the Graded Schools of that District: r The Graded Schools of Newhery School D)istrict were opened on the first day of October,. 190, under the supervision of eleven Trustees. sevel of whom, to-wit, James F.J. Caldwell, George B. Cromer, William H. Wal- t lace, James K. P. Goggans. J. S. Coz-y,), G4eo-ge S. Mower anl N. B. Mazyck wer- named in the Act of the Le-isla ture ereating tht- School District: and I the remaining four, to-wit: Alan John stone, Wm. E. Pelham, James K. Gil der and L. M. Speers, were elected by the people pursuant to Act of the Leg islature. The schools-white and colored were organized by the election of a. superintendent for both schools, and two principals and three assistant, teachers for the school for whites, and a principal and two assistant teachers for the school for colored children, the salaries being fixed as follows : Super- S intendent, $1,000.00 per annum; male principal for white school, $(I00 per month ; female principal for white I school, $50.00 per month; each assist- 4 ant teacher for white school, $35.00 per T month; principal of school for colured children, $40.00 per month, and each I assistant for that school $25.00 per month. Our estimates were made for a scho lastic year of eight imonth-, as the means at hand did not justify a longer term, but the term was afterwards ex tended to nine months in order to get the benefit of the Peabody fund, from which we have derived the sum of $350.00- almost enough to pay the ex penses of the additional month. The Z superintendent has had the su ervision of both schools. The only other employeei are two janitors, one for Lhe school for whites, at $7.00 per month; one for the school a for colored childrei4, at $1.50 per month. Male and female pupils have been classed together, the only separation of the sexes being on the playground. i The results of this co-education of the sexes have been entirely satisfactory. i The superintendent has been re quired to teach, in addition to the other duties of his office. We regret to say that our limited means will prcba bly compel us to require this duty of c that officer for the ensuing year, if not permanently. In accordance with the desire and request of those interested, and it ap pearing desirable to establish a sepa- 1 rate school for the children of the cot ton mills, we have contributed $100.00 b per annum to the salary of a teacher e for the school at the mills, selected by the directors of the mills and the board C -the mills paying the balance of sala- t ry. This school has also been under t the supervision of the superintendent. NI Two lots, known as the Female Acad emy lot and the Male Academy lot, v respectively, have been deeded to us by their respective trustees for the pur- g poses of the white schools, under hmi tations set forth in the two deeds, this board being required first to pay off an indebtedness of $222.37 which over hung tbe same. The persons who at the establish- ] ment or the Graded Schools of New berry considered themselves the trus tees of the Hoge colored school, and were acting as such, were unwilling to transfer the lot, building and furniture of that school to this board. Th is board, therefore, confined itself to the elec tion and payment of teachers for the colored children, and the general man agement and maintenance of that a school, as circumstances demanded or t permitted. It is believed that this school property will soon be transferred to this board,when it will be warranted in making such alterations, repairs and additions to buildings as niay be needed and within our means, and also in fur- t nishing necessary e.uipmients tor the colored school The Female Acadenmy building and grounds have been used for the white pupils; but the accommodations there being insufficient, and the Male Acad-i emny building undesirable for school purposes, and inconveniently locatt d, c tebrick building of Mrs. C. Mower on Pratt and Thompson streets has been rented at $11.00 per month, and about two-fifths of the white pupils have been taught there. t The board found that neither of the for white children was a suitable loca tion for the white school. They there- r fore purchased of G. G. DeWalt, at the priee of twenty-two hundred and fifty g dollars, ($2,250)), a lot upon which a school building is now being erected. The contract for the ereotion of this building, after much a'cvertising and trouble,was eventually let to W.T.Davis C & Co., at the price of $11,688..55 they being practically the only bidders. The r trustees were slow to adopt the Smeade I system of heating and ventilation on account of its expensiveness, but the ] health and comfort of the pupils ap-t peared to demand its adoption; and that system will accordingly be placed in the new building, at a cost of $2,000. To meet the costs of this building, of the lot upon which it is erected, and for other pur.poses, the board has been furnished by the votes of the people with bonds to the value of $1.5,000i, of which we are disposing at par as our necessities require; and it further feels 1 itself authorized to sell for these pur poses the male and female academy' lots hereinabove mentioned. It is hoped that the building now being erected will be comIpletect by the close of the year. It is ex pected to accomo. date all the white ptupils for a number of years to come, and by its healthful- I ness, convenience and comfort to render that school muich more efficient than 1 befo,re. The schools have been conducted under rules adopted by the board of trustees, and printed and circulated amioog the pattrons of the schools. The accuracy of these r. gulations andl the inflexibility of their enforcement h ye enabled the teachers to preserve a regu larity of lisciplinie, without harshness, whih-has, we believe, commended the system to at least a large majority both of patrons and pupils. Corporal pun ishnment, though allowed for boys, has been rarely administered, and less punishment of any kind has been in flicted thman we have ever known in any private school which had any discipline at all. A record of the recitations and deportment of each pupil has been kept, with the effect of checking ill behaviour and idleness and stuimulating the indolent to increased efibrt in order for promotion to a higher grade. Such rue r ndispensable, and it is one of the chief merits o,f a public school that no pupil is advaniced to a higher grade until he has attained a certain profi -U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. x7, 1889.

The account t! hereto attachel shows be total expenses of the school, also he assets from which these expenses ave been met. These expenses have ieen larger in consequence oi the ecessity of purchasing desks a nd other pparatus and furnishings. It is proper o state that the amount derived fr4om axation another year will exetel by Omite hundreds of dollars the amount rhich was realized fronm the tax last ollected. It will be born-e in mind that the 'ountv Treasurer is the collecting and lisbursing officer of the school district o far as the moneys derived from tax tion and tle Plehody fund are eolt erned. We have been obliged to ap >oint a special treasurer for the custody f bonds issued for building and eqmp nent purposes and the proceeds 'f heir sale, as the Legislat tire made no orovision for themi.

THE IM D .FALL SCHOOL. .- A Cre-lital>'e Exiilitioi-Good Dimnur ant a pleasalit Day. e Bright and early on Thursday iorn ing I pulled out into the highway, and pointed the end of my mules at Dead Fall. Eighteen miles :ire soon done, d when there is the assurance of a pleas ant and profitable day at the other en of the line. And allow me to say that f whatever anticipations I had wert mqre than realized. The exercises were e "ju-t spendid" and reflect credit upon the scholars, the teacher, and indeed 1 upon the community, who have :hovin n wisdom in their selection and support e (of one of the best teachers in the couuty. I would like to mention individual ex l eellenees, but time and a prescribed limit forbid, suffice to say that the con ducto( the exercises was a source of gratificaii-,u to all present, and showed the toue' of a train d hand. I believe it would lie ndvisable to stop and sny who it i; that, I am talking about. In the first place Miss Mamie Crooks, and the participants in the exercises are as fol 4 lows: Homer Stephens, who had charge of the salutatorv. Lillian Werts, Jerry Crouch and Eugene Werts amused us with the 4 "Wonderfu l.scholar." Song. Walter Werts discoursed upon Chari ty, after which we were reminded of our 0 'Shortcoming" by Miss Bessie Blair, John Reeder, Florence and Clarence Werts. Misses Maggie Lon&, Florence Weas, Juanita Schu mpert.Nora Blair, Minnie, Ellen and Myrtle W%erts next enter tained us with a dialogue of "The two glasses." Jerry and Thomas Crouch explaine-I the utility of "Little things" in hand some style. Eugene Werts next points out to us the terrible effects of "Rum." "Country cousins" was handfomely illuminated by Misses Virginia and f Sallie Moon, Bessie Crooks and Lilla Werts. Mr. Homer George declaimed "An gels can do no more" very handsomely and forcefully. "The Presidential candidate," by Mr. Jacob Long, was A No. 1. "Jesus, lover of my soul," w:s very touchingly and sweetly rendered by a clas of young ladies of the school. "Burst bubbles," by Samuel Crouch, was well rendered. "Schoolmaster- abroad." by Jacob Long, Samuel Crouch, Walter Verts, Charley Crouch. Henry Long, Jerry Stephens and Willie Crouch, was in imitable. "When the roses come ngain" floated out upon the air from a bevy of beauti ful girls and handsome young men. Dinner. There is no use to try to 'tll of a din ner in this seerion, but you unfortunate individuals who were not there have my pity;-tip-top as regards both quan tity and quality. The evening was devoted to speech making and passed very pleasantly and prafitably, the speakers were Messrs. i G. B. Cromer and F. W. Higgins. The concluding exercise, the rendi tion of the beautiful "Good-bye" by a i class of young ladies in line, each iold ing a letter of the word "Good-bye," was touching. The trustees and people of the com munity are highly pleased with Miss Crooks as a teacher and are desirous ot i retaining her in their midst.
