SUPT. SWUMN6EN
TALKED TO TRUSTEES
HERE SATURDAY--"SOMETHING
ROTTEN IN DENMARK*' IN
SCHOOL BOOK DEAL.
The Trustees' meeting at the
school auditorium was called to order
Saturday at noon by Chairman
B B Chandler. The roll-call showed
twenty-four out of fifty-two trustees
present. A half dozen or more
came in later, however, and a numhpr
of others interested in the sub
ject of education were present,
making altogether a gathering of
nearly two hundred people,
Mr Chandler in a few preliminary
remarks suggested that an old-time
"experience meeting" be held. There
being no immediate response. Superintendent
of Education McCullough
requested Prof 0 M Mitchell
to give the audience the benefit of
his experience and observation as to
the advantages derived from consolidation
of schools. Prof Mitchell,
always obliging, responded with a
very interesting talk along the line
suggested. Taking his own school,
Union High school, as a concrete example,
Mr Mitchell told of the remarkable
development wrought,
which in large measure would have
been impracticable without consolidation.
Prof Mitchell is a forceful
speaker, brim-ful of energy and enthusiasm
in the high and honorable
calling he has elected to fulfill and
his remarks were heard with close
heed that no doubt will inspire others
to greater effort. The Union
3chool, aithougn more tnan twenty
miles from a railroad, in a not too
thickly settled community, is easily
the banner rural school in the county
and no doubt has few equals in
the State. Call it consolidation, if
pou please, but we have a private
opinion that the chief dynamic power
has been pluck.perseverance and the
3pirit of progress embodied in Prof
Mitchell and his excellent school
board, whose chairman. Hon B B
Chandler, as we all know, is a pretty
live wire himself.
At the close of Mr Mitchell's
speech,Hon E C Epps, in fitting lan?uage,
introduced Hon J E Swt aringen.
the State Superintendent of
Education.
The main thought embodied in
Mr Swearingen's address which followed
was: "The School Trustee and
His Duty." He paid a glowing tribute
to the trustees of the State and
wished that they could all mee t to?it

a standard for the whole State in her J1
educational advancement. 9
Mr Swearingen took up the question
of State aid for public schools
and advocated a direct appropriation,
so that the stronger school districts
could aid the weaker ones and thus
bring about a uniform standard
throughout our State.
Pissing on to the school book
adoption Mr Swearinger reviewed
the matter of the sweeping changes
' made, for which up to the present
time no good reason has been vouch-,
safed. He would not accuse any one
, of being corrupt, because he could
1 not prove corruption, but it looked
very much as if there was "some-1
thing rotten in Denmark."

which was nearly two hours long.
Whi e not eloquent, he is a plain, '
practical, logical speaker, impressing (
everyone as being intensely in ear- j
nest. He had the audience with him, j
especially when he touched on the |
school book controversy.
When he had concluded his speech
i Senator Epps offered resolutions
j commending Superintendent Swear
I ingen for the stand he had taken i n i
the text book matter. These resolutions
were unanimously adopted.
