The 1912-13 session of the hjngstree
High and Graded school, after
another successful term, came to a
I i happy close Monday evening in the
school auditorium when the bener
diction was pronounced by Rev D A
Phillips after an interesting programme
had been rendered by the
graduating class before one of the
largest audiences ever seen within
^ the walls of the building.
To us it seems only a little while
since we attended and told of the
1?^ A- ?1? _i
happy events incident to uie uuoiuk
of the 1911-12 session, while to the
pupils it has been a full twelve
months, nine of which they have
R toiled over their books and at times
HSF doubtless thought their trials and
tribulations severe and never-endI
ing. But at last they are "free"
W again for a period and the wornW
back books, besmeared with finger
I marks, have been laid aside, some
* forever, as the tenth grade finished
their course in the Kingstree High
school and have received their di-1
ploraas.

O mother dear, Jerusalem,

No murky cloud o'ershadowi thee.
Nor gloom, nor darksome night;
But ev'ry soul shines as the sun;
For God Himself gives light.

It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart.
And hope to meet again. ?

L Holroyd, presiding elder of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
for Kingstree district. The hall was
filled to its capacity with patrons,
pupils and their friends, many of
whom came from the country.
Mr Holroyd selected his text from
Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians,
2d chapter, 1st and 2d verses:
"And I, brethren, when I came to
vnu came not with excellency of
speech or of wisdom, declaring unto
you the testimony of God. For I
determined not to know anything
among yoa save Jesus Christ and
Him crucified." In his usual clear,
comprehensive style the speaker portrayed
the character of the great
apostle, to whom in later life there
was nothing so important as a
knowledge of God, who dominated
everything, even the flowers around
the altar. He admonished his hearers
not to become satisfied with a
mere knowledge of things terrestrial,but
to seek to know God and to
emulate the spirit of the great apostle,
Paul of Tarsus, the brilliant student
of Gamaliel, converted on the
road to Damascus, who at once became
an exponent and follower of
the Savior, Jesus Christ.
During his entire discourse the
speaker impressed his audience and
held their undivided attention.
A special choir composed of Messrs
P H Stoll, R L Holroyd, R N Speigner,
Percy Hutson, Mrs L W Gilland
and Misses Selma Thorn, Elizabeth
Speigner and Elma Hinds, with Miss
Estelle Campbell at the piano, ren
dered the music.

programmed to make the literary
address to the school, and everyone
who heard him was highly pleased
with his remarks.
Superintendent Swearingen gave
a practical and cdmprehensive talk
on educational subjects. He paid a
tribute to the Kingstree school, sayihg
that the educational progress of
the county centered in the school
spirit manifested at Kingstree. He
gave interesting figures to snow tne
growth of education in South Carolina,
and spoke in favor of compulsory
education when the time is
ripe. He said it would not be advisable
to make education compulsory
until the problem was solved
as to what should be done with incorrigable
pupils whom it was inadvisable
to keep in the public school.
In this connection he spoke of discipline,
which he said is necessary if a
school is to be a success. He1
showed the effect of education on!
morality and closed with a plea to j
naronts tn uritVi tonnViorn I
and to keep their children in the
public schools until they were prepared
for college.
