1ISS HIT T. NANCE Points Out Ways Whereby Rural Schools Nay Be improved. Editor County Record: The rural schools ot South Caro-1 lina have been greatly improved in recent years, but there is yet an enorjpous amount of work to be done before the schools in the country; will compare at all favorably with the town and city schools. A large percentage of the population of our; s State is rural and agricultural; j therefore, if every boy and girl is to be given an equal ehance for an education it is very important that ourj ^ people build up a good system of country schools. The efficiency of a country school depends largely upon the effort put forth in a rural community by its trustees and teachers. If they show that they are interested and will take the leadership " in improving their schools they will not fail to get co-operation from patroDS. I urge eveiy country teacher, and trustee in South Carolina to ask j himself this question: What can I; -I" *v.r? O/I!*AA1 Vinfl MKJ IU II1UIVC II1V OtUWi V/V btvi JL- tuu out how yon can make it better aful go to work with a determination to improve conditions. Success will always attend an earnest effort. During the recent session of the Leg- { islatnrea bill was passed appropri- j atiug $20,000 for the purpose ofj increasing the average length of the: school term aud to improve the ef- j ticieucy of the public schools in this; state. The State Supt of Education, Mr J ESwearingen, will gladly send a copy of this act, together with regulations, to anyone who will wiite him for same. Every rural school should run longer tban three or four I months; so if yours doesn't run at least 100 days don't fail to take advantage of this law. It provides >at any school whose term is less ? ?~ 1 A?J skon onnnrn I (km UUC UUUU1 cu utajo vcbu awxti. 00 from the State Sapt of Eduion for every $1.00 that the .rons may raise. If any school rich pays $30.00 a mouth will . iee $10.00, the State will supply $20.00 and thus lengthen the term by one month. Of course, any greater amount raised by the school will secure a correspondingly greater addition to the school term. The State Board of education has recently set aside $2,000 of the library fund to be used by the School Improvement association for prizes. This amount was offered last year and 91 schools entered the contest It is estimated that $200,000 worth of material improvement resulted from this contest. If your school did not apply last year, don't fail to make an effort to win a prize this year. Regulations regarding prizes can be secured by writing to Miss Theodosia Dargan, Dalzell, SC. I! will be glad to furnish any trustees j or teachers in the State with any I information I can that will assist | them in improving the conditions of j lUCil DV/ uwio# Mary T Nance, Field Agent of Campaign Com.
