"P I I ' ? i I Prof. Lueco Gunter Ad vltso? Assoeiu . flea on Needed Changes in School Syst** , At the recent meeting of the Sumter County School Trustees' Association, Prd? Lueco Gunter, school supervisor of elementary schools in South Caro? lina, made an intersting talk to the trustees and teachers on changes in the school system of the county which, would .prove beneficial to the schools. He urged consolidation of schools and the remaking of the school district lines Unorder that there might be only one white school In each district to which the trustees could devote their time.and attention. By this system Prof. Gunter pointed out that State aid could be secured and other ad vantages obtained. He stated that Sumter county now was devoting more money per capita to its pupils than any other county in the State. The. Sumter County Board of Ed? ucation, has several times in the past considered thev matter of changing the school district lines, but on ac? count Of the situation, as regards rail? roads In the various districts, it was decided not to make any changes, as some districts would have railroads and others would not, thus depriving somejOf the districts of the income from the railroad taxes, while other districts would have a double or triple share. The matter of consolidation has for many years been urged by the Sumter County Board of Education, and a number of schools have been consolidated, but this work has not proceeded as far as the board would like to gee it go. A resolution was offered by Messrs. C. L. Cuttlno and S. W. R a meld ask? ing that .the county provide the Su perintendent of Education with a Ford automobile In order that he can visit more ef the schools and thus do bet ter work, the superintendent to keep the car In repair and pay for the up? keep. Resolutions of respect and sympa? thp were passed on behalf of J. W. Brunsen and S. B. Jenkins, two trus tees add members of the association, who had passed away since the last meeting.
