Wolfe Rural Teacher Almost every where a school lives with its community. But it is just the other way. The community should live within it's school. If by unhappy chance schools d sappeaf, most 'of "th^ social structure of the community and an important part of it's economic structure would also collapse. A school located, about five miles from a post office, and iu set up in 'average farm mtinity fits it's students for their future li>'e. In doing this the school has completely taken the lead in all community life by making the community a better,- richer place Fn which to live. Slaughtering refrgieration plant and canning could add from 400 or more dollars annual income to farm families. Sbuxlents in the cannery, couia put up o,<ro? cans jf corn, okra, kraut, apples, peach es, etc. The weekly movies run by students makes life more pleas ant. Conduct a community lending ibrary and barber lillop. Wflt<^ >ver the health of young pupils, lut out local newspapers. Run a bank For Themselves, accept deoosits, make small loans. Group action is th,e best lesson in a work ing democracy. Schools itself should breed selfreliance. There should be no rigrid class schedules. "People think Children cfl""t plan".

VAMENT ^ liams and Gladys Kirkland; cen rnell Kirkland and Sai^a Aiken, at Paine College, Augusta, Oa., Partial Benefits Only 11 Per Cent of Total Durtng 1940 fhe South Carolina Unemployment Compensati o n Commission paid benefits tobaling $2,479,775, and of this amount only S27CL625.22 w-wlv about 11 pur cerxi was ior partial (ana part-total) unemployment, the Agency's annual report which recently came off the press reveals. Therefore, to be exact, the com mission paid" $2,208,008.80 in total unemployment benefits to individuals who were earning rto wagres and performing no" ser^ vices; - $143,527.25 in partial benefits to persons who were on short time work with regular employing units; and $127,097.97 to "part^ total" benefit claimants who were working- only part-time at odd jobs. The "agency also made supplemental payments .totaling $1^ 141.34 which were not classified as to type of employment; Partial (and part-total) benefits declined considerably^ from January (1940), When $27,372.02 were paid, to December, when only $11,776.78 were peid. Early experience in the adnrim istration of the partial unempToy ment benefit phases of the program indicated that workers would sometimes have difficulty in vetting away from their jobs long enough to report weekly at emolovment offices to file claims? narticxrtarlv" if the offices^were a fonglflprflblfl digt.nnf.. rrnhi?nrr nlace of work. Therefore, a system was worked out whereby employers could?file?the-claims for 'he workers and in this way prevent a disruption .of?employments Under?this?plan?the?employer* obtain the signatures_of workers on weekly "low earnings reports" which they submit the local emnlovment office. When these reports are signed, they become the workers' claims for partialu|KJm^ ployment benefits andjg^ffpplcations for full-^irno-employment. ?As-soon as the Commission receives a claim from the worker, whether submitted through the employer or by the worker personally. it informs the employer of the claimant's "weekly benefit amount." In turn the empiqy.er hotifiiec the worker. This procedure all boils down to one point? the worker in order to receive benefits for partial unemployment must either, file his claim personally-at an employment- offiep or through Jiis employer bv signing a "low earnings report." The weekly partial?unemployment benefit amount received by the worker depends on the amount he would receive if totally unemnloyed and eligible, and the*earnings he makes while on ~short ttmo TVtftrofnvn f Vt r> V>a?a. fit varies from week to week if the wages vary. When ' 25' or more workers are laid off at the1 same place at about the same-time, the Employment Offiqe sends a representative to the plartt to assist in receiving th(> applications for full-time work end claims for benefits.
