Annua! 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

The account t! hereto attachel shows

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

No reduction of salaries is practica
IC, and the number of teachers in
ach school is barely sufficient for the
upils who are sure to attend. It is
uite certain, therefore, that a tax of

ixable within the school district limits
ill be required.
We respectfully ask that the citizens

buying up the stock of the association
2101 shares of stock have. been purchased
together with 42 shares previously pur
chased, makes at this date 243 shares c

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.
