OF EDUCATION (Continued from Page 1) a strong central school helps to secure better results, but a large dis trict with a nest of weak, one-room, one-teacher, short-term schools is never to be desired. In twelve schools, the average attendance was exceedingly low, and in ten of these twelve the average attendance fell below one dozen pupils. Is it possible for some of these to be consolidated during 1913-14? The report shows 33 one-room schoolhouses. Educators agree that under no condition can one teacher | handle properly more than five grades. I hope to see the time soon come when no new schoolhouse will be erected with less than two classrooms. If this standard were applied in Union today, more than half the schoolhouses now in use would need to be remodeled. Receipts for the year amounted to $55,262.37, and expenditures to $45,465. 96. Of the 23 school districts, 20 begin the scholastic year 1913-14 with a working balance, while three are reported as overdrawn. This showing is creditable, but it would be far better if the trusteees of each district would avoid going in debt. The county needs a larger school fund. Only fifteen districts report a local school levy. The money resulting from a school tax is not the only benefit accruing to the district. Where citizens are willing to vote an extra tax for education, this action is a guarantee of interest, insuring attendance and co-operation. In Darlington county, every district now levies a local tax, amounting in some cases to 8 mills, and if Union could show this situation in 1914, it would mean much for its schools during the next twelve months. The trustees of your special tax districts have not taken advantage of the term extension Act and the rural graded school Act. Under the first law, any district levying a twomill tax and unable to run its schools five months may secure $100 State aid. Under the graded school Act. districts having an enrollment of 50 in one school and levying a four-mill tax may secure $200 State aid; while districts with 75 pupils enrolled in one school and a four-mill tax may secure $300. I recommend that these matters receive close attention this fall. In conclusion, permit me to congratulate you upon the progress you have secured, the interest you have stimulated, and the co-operation you have enlisted. You have turned over a fertile field and a fine opportunity to your successor. Yours respectfully, J. E. Swearengin, State Superintendent of Education. BETTER PAINT Better paint this year if your property needs it. Mistaken men have been waiting for paint to come down. The cost of their job has gone-up not down; it always goes-up by waiting; never comes-down. Better paint than Devoe? There isn't any. Suppose one had waited 20 or 30 years, ago for a better paint than De voe; how long would he have waited? How long would he still have to wait? The price a gallon makes some difference: yes, but not much; it's the paint that counts. It's the go-far that counts. Protection of the property counts more yet. DEVOE STONE-JONES HARDWARE CO., Sell It. Even light wine has been known to produce a dark brown taste. Self-control is the one thing a man always has until he needs it.
