Annual Report mt Trumtes to be S,umitted
to Citizen#4 Sieetin;g Next Thuirwday.
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.
The Female Academy building anti
gruuds have bleen used for the wvhite
~1s; but tile accommnodations there

ealth a 'd comfort of the pupils ap
earedb'o demand its adoption; and
that sm will accordingly be placed
n tile n,ew building, at a cost of $2,000.
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

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.
[Thie accounts sre too long publica- I
tion, but will be submitted at the citi- 1
zens' meeting.
The expenses for the ensuing year I
cau not be accurately uied. They will
be aonut the same as the year jus, pa;t,

No reduction of salaries is practica

each school is barely sufticient for the
pupils who are sure to attend, It is i
quite certain, therefore, that a tax of

will be required.

old age cf 85 years. Mirs. IKinard v.as
married to Mr. Michael Kinard andl
was the miother of twelve children and
out of that iinmber only four are now
living viz. MI. D). Kinard, .J. J. Kinard,
S. J1. Kinard, and MIrs. Catherine
Kibier. Mirs. Ki nard's descendan ts are
44 grand children and Ni great grand-1
children. M[rs. Kiniard iived to witness
many of the trials and hardships of
this life, having lost e s<>n in the war
and aiiot her accidentally killed at home
by a rolling ox cart. Mrs. Kinard's
husband while starting to Columbia
with a wagon loaded with cotton met -
with the fearful fate of being mashed
to death by a bale falliing from the
wagon, and all her hard trials together 4
was alnmost more than a mothers, heart<
and a kind htisband's wife coud bear,
but she lived to be an aged lady thougrh
her last days were days of sufering.
Mrs. Kinard wvas a lover of her Bible
and always used the scriptures as her
gtide through this life and when un
able to read for herself would patiently
listen to others rea(l for her. Mrs.
Kinard united herself to the Evangeli
cal Lutheran church in early lhfe and
remained a consistent member up to
the time of her death.
Mrs. Catherine Kihiler requests us to
return many many thanks to all her
kind friends far and near who was so
ready and willing to letnd a helping
hand during her mother's illness. May
the Lord bless and comfort each one
for their kindness received.

This cause, while an accomnioda

jr THE DEA D FALL SCHOOL.
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.
