The following is the anitzual report of the Trustees of the Newberry (;raded Schools to be submlittled to the citizens meeting to be held on next Thurstay. It is published for the information of those interested: The Trustees of Newherry School District respectfully sbnit to the citizens of Newberry the following re port on the organization, operation. condition and need of the Graded Schools of that District: The Graded Schools of Newberry School District v:ere opened on the first lay of October, 1890, under the supervision of eleven Trus!ees, seven of whom, to-wit, James F.J. Cald well, George B. Cromer, William H. Wal lace, James K. P. Goggans, J. S. Cozby, George S. Mower and N. B. Mazyck, were named in the Act of the Legisla ture creating the School District: and the remaining four, to-wit: Alan John stone, Wn. 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 intendent, $1,000.00 per annum; muale principal for white school, $.00 per month ; female principal for white school, $50.00 per month; each assiit ant teacher for white school, $35.00 per month; principal of school for colored children, $40.00 per month, and each assistant for that school $25.00 per month. Our estimates were made for a scho lastic year of eight montha, 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 mouth. The superintendent has bad the supervision of both schools. The only other employees are two janitors, one for the school for whites, at $7.00 per month; one for the school for colored childreii, at $1.50 per month. Male and female pupils have been classed together, the only separation of the sexes being on the playground. The results of this co-education of the sexes have been entirely satisfactory. 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 proba bly compel us to require this duty of 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 rate school for the children of the cot ton mills, ve have contributed $100.00 per annum to the salary of a teacher for the school at the mills, selected by the directors of the mills and the board -the mills paying the balance of sala ry. This school has also been under the supervision of the s,iperintendent. Two lots, known as the Female Acad emy lot and the Male Academy lot, respectively, have been deeded to us by their respective trustees for the pur poses of the white schools, under limi tations stt forth in the two deeds, this board being required first to pay off an indebtedness of $222.37 which over hung the 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, wer~e unwilli' ; to transfer the lot, building and furniture of that school to this board. Th is board, therefore, confined itself to tihe elec tion and payment of teachers for the colored children, and the general ruan agement and maintenance of that school, as circumstances dlemanded or permitted. It is believed that this school property will soon be transferred to this t>oard,when it will be warranted in making such alterations, repairs and additions to buildings as may be needed and within our means, and also in fur nishing necessary equipments for the colored-school.

To m '~et the costs of this building, of tie log upon whiCh it is erected, and for othbr purposes, the board has been furnisheI. by tihe votes of tile people withl bonds to the value of $15,004), of which we are disposing at par as our necessities require; and it fu'Lber feels itself authorized to sell for these pur poses the male and( female academyv lots hlereinabove mentioned. It is hoped that the building now being erected will be compieted by the clo.se of the year. It is expected to accomno date all the while pupils for a number of years to conme, and by its healthful ness, convenience and comIfort to render that school much more efficient than before. The schools have been conducted under rules adopted by the board of trustees, and printed and circulated amn)lg thle pa trolls (If thz schools. The accuracy of these regzulations andi the intexibility (If their enforcement h .v eniabled the teachers to preserve a regut larity of discipline, without harshness, whlich has. we believe, commtendecd the system to at least a large majority Yath of patrons and pupils. Corporal p)un ishmIuent, though allowed for boys, has been rarely administered, and less punishmilenlt of any~ kindl hlas been in licted than wve have ever knowvn in any private school which haid any dlisciplinle at all. A recoird of the recitations and deportmlent of each pupil has been kept, with the effect of checking ill behaviour and idleness and stimulating the indolent to increased effort in order for promo~tion to a higher grade. Such rules are indispensable, and it is one of theC chief merits of a public school that no0 pupil is advanced to a higher grade until he has attained a Dertain profi U. S.

The facilities ollerei by the schools and the thoroughness of their working ar, evidenced by the large attendance -a considerable increase oin the num hers that have heretofore attended the several schools of the town. The total attendance of whites during the past Term is three hundred and sixty-iine. 'ihe total attendance of eolore(d children during the past tern is two hundred and ninetv-seven. Theaverageattend ance of whites, two hundred and fifty-one, and the average attendance of colored children, oue hundred and seventv-two. This average was gre.tly reduced by the fact that a number of children vere withirawn during the last month or two of the term-whites on account of the warm weatner and the crowded condition of the school rooms; colored children oni accOu1nt of the need their parents feltL for their labor. The account thereto attached shows the total expenses of the school, aiso the assets from which these expenses have been met. These expenses have been larger in consequence of the necessity of purchasing desks and other apparatus and furnishings. It is proper to state that the amount derived from taxation another year will exceed by some hundreds of dollars the amount which was sealized from thii Lax last collected. It will be borne in wind that the County Treasurer ip the collecting and disbursing officer of the school district so far as the moneys derived from tax ation and the PeAbody fund are con cerned. We have been obliged to ap point a special treasurer for the custody of bonds issued for building and( eIjuip ment purposes and the proceeds of 1 their sale, as the Legislature made no provision for them. Mr. L. M. Speers submits herewith his account as such treasurer. 1 If desired a cominttee of citizens I might be appointed tc a'!:t thew aG counts; and it is the desire of this board that this be done, so as to leave no doubt as to the courme of action pur- I sued by the board.

A Creditable Exhibition-Good Dinn-r and a pleasant Day. 1'righL and early ou Thursdmy morn ing I pulled out into the highway, and pointed the end of my mules at Dead Fall. Eighteen miles are soon done, when there is the assurance of a pleas ant and profitable day at the other end of the line. And allow me to say that whatever anticipations I had were more than realized. The exercises were "Iju,t spendid" and reflect crit upon the scholars, the teacher, and! indeed upon the community, who have rh'vn wisdom in their selection and support of one of the best teacher. .n the county. I would like to mention individual ex cellences, but time and a prescribed limit forbid, suffice to say that the con dct of the exercises was a source of gratificaliou to all present, and showed the touch of a trained hand. I believe it would be advisable to stop and say who it is that I am talking about. In the first place Miss Mamie Crooks, and the participants it the exercises are as fol lows: Homer Stephens, who had charge of the salutatorv. Lillian Werts, Jerry Crouch and Eugene Werts amused us with the "Wonderful scholar." Song. Walter Werts discoursed upon C*i:jri ty, after which we were reminded of our 'Shortcomings" by Miss Bessie Blair, ,ohn TReeder, Florence and Clarence Werts. Misses Maggie Long, Florence. Werts, Juanita Schumpert,Nora Blair, Minnie, Ellen and Myrtle Werts next enter tained us with a dialogue of "The two glasses," Jerry and Thomas Crouch explainedl the utility of "Little things" in hand some style. Eugene Werts next points out to us the terrible effects of "Rum." "Country cousins" was handromely illuminated by Misses Virginia and Sallie Moon, Bessie Crooks and Lilla Werts. Mr. Homer George declaimed "An 1els can do no more" very handsomely and forcefully. "The Presidential candidate," by Mr. acob Long, was A No. 1. "Jesus, lover of my soul," was very touchingly and sweetly rendered by a Ats of young ladies of the school. "Burst bubbles," by Samuel Crouch, was well rendered. "Schoolmaster abroad," by Jacob Long, Samuel Crouch, Walter Werts, .barley Crouch, Henry Long, Jerry Stephens and Willie Crouch, was in mitable. "When the roses come aaain" floated >ut upon the air from a bevy of beauti ul girls and handsome young men. Dinner. There li no use to try to tell of a din ier In this serion, but you unfortunate ndividuals who were not there have ny pity;-tip-top as regards both quau ity and quality. The evening was devoted to speech. naking and passed very pleasantl and >rafitably, the speakers were Messrs. 3. B. Cromer and F. W. Higgins. The concluding exercise, the rendi ion of the beautiful "Good-bye" by a lass of young ladies in line, each hold ng a letter of the word "Good-bye," Vas touching. The trustees and people of the com nunity are highly pleased with Miss ,rooks as a teacher and are desirous of etaining her.in their midst.
