They are all here, said Dr H N ]
Snyder, of Wofford college, Friday ]
-when he looked upon the great 1
multitude of school children, patrons,
teachers and trustees that had gath- '
ered in Kingstree to celebrate the <
third annual Field Day meet of the <
public schools of Williamsburg i
county. i
From an educational point of view 1
it was one of the grandest days in its 1
Jiistory, and those who are interest- i
ed in the public school work of the 1
mnntv should have been here if '
I they were not. As it was, Kingstree 1
| was the hospitable host to upwards 1
P of one thousand visitors and we be- 1
lieve that she did herself proud. :
