SUMMER SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS To Bo Held at Winthrop College In June. Editor County Record:? In the interest of the rural schools, will you kindly give space to the attached letter in your next issue? 4 Sincerely, Columbia,March 23. W K Tate. The Formal School of the Rural Teacher. . To the Rural Teachers and School Trustees of South Carolina. Through the generosity of the Peabody board of trust and the enterprise of Winthrop College, .it has been arranged to hold a summer school for teachers at Winthrop Col'ege during the four weeks beginng June 21, 1911. The faculty is low being engaged and the courses 1 T? ? f?? """OVD O onm. irrangea .

Before the rural schools close, however, I wish to direct the special attention of the rural teachers and trustees to the advantages of the summer school. Many of the rural teachers of] South Carolina have been denied the privilege of college courses and professional training for teaching. In a peculiar sense the summer school for teachers is the normal ?1 ' t0M>hpr. It is IH211WI Ul VUC VVIIMTO J WWVMV.. W - here only that we have opportunity o come into living touch with edu\tional principals and methods, to change ideas, and to form the endships which break the profes nal isolation of the rural teacher. In addition to the usual courses the elementary and secondary jects, the summer school has arged to offer certain courses dened especially to aid the rural ichere. Among these will be inlded the following: L Special Problems of the Rural fcool. m ? 1 Unfl,n/U onH HpvipM I Itm OpCUdi JUCU1UVO Uiju ... "or the Rural Schools. i) Rural School Agriculture and ' School Gardening. 4. Domestic Science for Rural Schools. 6. Practical Manual Training for floral Schools. During the session there will be held a conference on rural life and and a conference on county supernfcendents of educations. Hie cost of board, including room id light, will be $18.00 for the lole term (four .weeks); $5.00 a ek for time less than the whole aion; and $1.00 per day for less tn a week. A matriculation fee $5.00 to cover the four waeks' jrk will be charged. Teachers uld engage rooms at once, In my opinion a school district - >nld make no better investment tan to encourage in a substantial ay the attendance of teachers of e summer school. An increase in lary for next year conditioned on .tendance at the school would enole the teacher to take the course ithout expense and would yield irge.returns to the district in inTeased efficiency.

BENSON BREEZES. Deductions from Dynamite Demonstration?Local Paragraphs. Benson, March 27:?The writer utilized the opportunity of witnessing the dynamite demonstration at Taft last Tuesday of blasting out stumps and ditch digging. The blast removed the stumps with the roots, removing scarcely any dirt, which is an advantage. This, the first lesson in removing such objects as stumps by means of dynamite, was a success. As to the cost, we understand that depends upon the size of the stump. A 20-inch stump costs about 16 cents; stumps three feet in diameter, 60 cents; 8"feet diameter, $2; an d so on. The ditching demonstration as observed by us would be somewhat impracticable on' farms where neatly dug and symmetrical sides of a ditch are wanted. Our swamps need deepening. The runs of the streams in this section are made of little hills and holes; if th. hills between the holes were made level by dynamite, we would have a canal to carry the surface water on into the bays along the sea coast, thereby draining our lands perfectly preparatory to a higher state of cultivation. While at Taft we were among the few who enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at the hospitable home of Hon W D Bryan. Gentle, refreshing showers refreshed the thirsty earth all day Sunday,which was pleasing, especially to farmers who had planted corn and also to those who expected this week to plant the cereal from which is hoped to raise an abundant harvest of bread. Mrs V W Graham and Miss Myrtle Nesmith of Nesmith were visitors at the home of Mr J B Chandler last Sunday. We thank Dr J S Cunningham for the correction and ever hope that he will yet boast of being a nonagenarian,with mental faculties unimpaired and a good physical constitution. W E S. Death of Mrs. D. F. Ma aid in. Pickens, March 26:?Mrs D F Mauldin died at the home of her daughter, Mrs McFall, on Thursday morning about 1 o'clock,after a very brief illness, aged 70 years.

The funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of Mrs McFall, and the body was laid to rest by the side of her husband, the late Joab Mauldin, in Pickens cemetery.
