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. While I was engrossed in the work nnr nrinMnol \fv O U1 I1U1 blV.UIl'UlV) VUl pi lil\.ipwi , i'AA V/ M Mitchell, was bending his energy and directing his thoughts toward the dairying work. Mr Mitchell realized 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.
