WHAT ONE RURAL
SCHOOL IS DOING.
MISS FLORENCE STUBBS TELLS
INTERESTINGLY OF THE GREAT
WORK AT UNION HIGH SCHOOL.
The following article by Miss
Florence Stubbs is reproduced from
Southern Farming of June 28, and
will be read in Williamsburg county
with much interest:
The consolidated rural school in
which I am a teacher is situated on
the line between the counties of Williamsburg
and Georgetown in South
Carolina, and reaches homes directly
to a distance of eight miles. While
these counties have some excellent
farms, yet they are very much in
need of development. Here was an
opportunity for the school,for everyone
agrees that a school is a place to
to teach things.
Today we are harvesting the crops
and realizing good results, where
three years ago a virgin forest
stood. We are also revolutionizing
the time-worn and money-losing
dairying ideas that obtained previously
in this part of the country.
Three years ago botany was put
in the eighth grade here. It fell to
my lot to teach this subject. What
shall I do? I repeatedly asked my
self. How can 1 make tnis subject
interesting to the boys and girls?
We made excursions, brought specimens
to class,etc, but still there was
a lack of life to the work. Life was
what I desired. I began to realize
I that what had given me my enthusiasm
for it when a child was a little
flower and vegetable garden of my
own. Then I had solved the riddle. J
Not being prepared to carry out ray
ideal,I proceeded to do the next best
thing, as I could see it. I tried to
make the children appreciate the
maxim: A thing of beauty is aj'oy
forever. We Commenced to clear our
| campus of all unsightly things, such
as logs, stumps, brush, etc, (let me
state here that the school was only
six years old then and was built in
the forest?hence the condition of
campus); then we began to plant
hedges and many kinds of flowers to
beautify the campus. The interest
of the boys and girls began to grow
as the plants grew and it soon became
intense. Work was play to
them. They never grew discouraged
in the face of the greatest tasks.
Each boy and girl pointed with pride
to what "I have done." There were
many thorns as well as roses in this
work; but since it was so interesting
and nothing but "play,"what difference
did that make? The thorns
were forgotten in glorying over the
roses. Now I begun to read and
dream of individual gardens. There
was no place on the campus suitable.
But we did not stop here. I discussed
it with my boys and girls?why
not? it was our work,not mine alone.
We kept each other encouraged.
There was every reason ior naving
the gardens. Think of living out in
the country and having vegetables
only part of the year, and a very
small variety at that. Imagine a
country home without a good orchard
and an all-the-year-round gar
den?and no market.* Generally!
speaking, this is our condition here.
So you can see there was a twofold
reason for wanting the garden: for
the pupils and for the parents; for
the school and for the homes. We
knew if once it was established and
successful that the community would
be greatly benefited.
Last October,through the kindness
of ope of our patrons, we succeeded
in getting one-half acre of new
ground to the rear of the campus.
We were one and all very much delighted.
The botany class had 14
members.seven boys and seven girls.
These were all bright and willing pupils,
and this contributed a great
deal toward our ultimate success.
The land was cleared by the class
with very little help. The boys took
up stumps and did like heavy work,
while the girls raked off the trash
and assisted in the lighter work. By
the end of November we had our
garden in shape for the plans.
I felt that there must be individual
ownership on the part of the pupils
in order to gain their best sup[
port and interest; still, there was
, need for a general garden in order
I that the ideal home garden might be
| realized, and, again, this garden in
I general served us in teaching the
principles that were applied to the
individual gardens by the individuals.
The children assisted me in laying
off their gardens, thereby learning
a lesson in measurements.
These gardens were 10x24 feet, bordered
by walks 18 inches wide. Each
pupil made neat uniform pegs, placing
them in the right angles of their
garden. The number of the garden
was put on these pegs.
In the individual gardens we
planted cabbage, garden peas, sweet
peas,onion sets and onion seed; later,
we planted beans, radishes and lettuce.
The middle of April we cut
I ? ? ? fko kna^a alnno
UUI 111 at tauuadc, lH.uua u<vuw
I weighing five and five-hundredths
pounds. Our cabbages are the best
that we have heard of this year.
The peas were fine also. In fact, the
little gardens were beautiful, one
could not help being impressed with
the neatness as well as the beautiful
vegetables. It was a genuine joy
for one to watch the wild enthusiasm
the children displayed when
their gardens were attracting so
much attention. There were never
such vegetables! The radishes were
the sweetest they had ever eaten.
All this is so natural, because they
had done all the work, had planted
the seeds and had watched with
great tenderness for the germination,
for advanced growth and for
maturity. Don't children like to
know they can and are doing something
that eounts bier? Grown-up
children do, too. So much for the
individual gardens.
This being the first year of the
garden work I have done very little
toward my ideal home garden. We
planted five hundred choice strawberry
plants, six bunch grapevines
and five apple trees, all of which are
doing nicely. For this year we will
use one-tenth of an acre for tomatoes
to demonstrate the tomato club
work. This will train them in the
preparation of soil, planting and culture
of tomatoes. The tomatoes will
be used to make canning demonstrations
at the school for pupils and
patrons. The rest of the garden will
be planted in corn for the same
training in corn as to the soil, planting
and culture, also, for seed selection
and seed testing. Later, the
small gardens and the part planted
in corn will be sown broadcast in
cowpeas to enrich the soil for fall
Mavf foil fho rronprnl orar.
planting. I1CAI 1(UI HIV DVUV.~. o?.
den will be continued on the plans
of the ideal home garden.
The notebook! have played an important
part In our work. A diagram
of the gardens wai made by a scale.
Each trip to the garden was written
up stating work done, how done and
ftame of tools used. A record of the
plants was kept in the following
manner: Number of row, kind of
seed or plants, date of planting,germination,
blooming or fruitage, ready
for use, part of plant used, class
of plants, value.
This work was made possible by
the interest of the pupils and the
support of our patrons. Let me
state here that every penny of the
money that has been spent was raised
by the class. I wish I had space
to give a few of our schemes for
making money. We have purchased
the following tools: Seven garden
plows, a barrel sprayer and a lawn
mower, besides a number of small
tools. Government bulletins have
been of the greatest service to us,
and we have an excellent collection
of these bulletins on file in our cabinet.
We have every reason to feel
proud and grateful for the success
already attained.

the need and appreciated the
opportunity for adding this to the
school work.
There was need for serious thought
and positive steps. _ Georgetown
NOT WRONG T0KIS9
When a Pretty Girl Gives Oae
the Dare.
It is not wrong to kiss a pretty
girl with whom you are associated in
the government service,provided the
aforesaid pretty girl purses her ruby
lips and utters a deft. This principle
was laid down in the pension office
in the case of Frank D Hester, a
chief of section, who was accused of
the osculatory diversion during office i
hours.
Gaylord M Saltgaber, Pension
Commissioner, suspended Mr Hester
upon learning of the affair and undertook
an investigation. After unwinding
many yards of red tape and
going into the affair from all angles,
the Commissioner discovered that the
young woman had "dared" Hester's
evidence of affection.
Hester, therefore, was reinstated. .?
Today he is back at his desk. The
young woman, who was a temporary
clerk and whose name was carefully ?
concealed, has left the pension office
service.
county is one of the counties where
stock is permitted to run at large,
there being numberless acres of natural
pasturage of a fair type. The
majority of cattle raisers leave this
work literally in the hands of God.
So far as I have been able to learn,
only a few have made efforts to raise
finer cattle?the increase is always
in number. No special attention is
given to either dairy or beef cattle?
the same type of cow serves the double
purpose; but we have a few patrons
who pride themselves on their
dairy cows and justly so. I am
speaking not of the few, but of that
large number who have not realized
the necessity and economical value of
a fine milch cow, some of whom are
milking six or more cows and buying
all the butter they use. Others will
keep one cow for one to two quarts
of milk a day. There is a great need
for special training in dairying economics,
methods and sanitation. Pages
could be written on the crying needs
of this work but this will be sufficient.
With the above situation in view,
Mr Mitchell paid the government deDartment
at Washington a visit. The
officials were delighted over his dairying
schemd. They sent Profs McClain
and Mason to look the situation
over. Mr Mitchell's plans were
forthwith adopted by these men.
Dairying was begun at once under
the direction of Prof Mason.of Clemson
College, who pays us monthly
visits.
The first year's work was done
through the homes by keeping records
of cows and making tests of
their milk?giving the money value
of cows. A number of public and
class room demonstrations were made
in milk testing, butter making and
milk separating. In this, the second
year, the work of the first year is
continued through the homes. The
interest of the pupils is very much
greater than last year. They have
begun to appreciate the value. The
home folk are showing more interest.
A barn 18 by 30 with capacity for
four cows was built and is now ready
for instaNing cows. Milk house
13 by 14 is under construction. These
buildings were built according to
government plans?cement floors, ?
pipes, stanchions, etc. The boys
helped in the construction for the
practical experience to be used later
in their homes. The milk house will
be equipped with separator, churff;
tester and other utensils for handling
milk and making butter.
This work will be continued next
year in the high school department
with three periods a week in theory
and practical work. Two cows will
be kept in the bam? one of the ordinary
type, the other of the beat type.
A comparison of records will be
made monthly for the benefit of pupils.
The dairy produce will be sold
at market value.
Mr Mitchell will endeavor to so
interest the pupils in the work as to
secure as a response in the homes a
neat dairy department, modeled after
the plans at school, in which sanitary
milk and butter will be produced
the year round for home consumption
and ultimately to develop
dairying for market.
I hope that the day is close at hand
when the school gardening and dairying
work will be given due recognition
in this State, for I verily believe
their place is not a secondary
one. Let us learn to live better at
