space at head of card. Prefix to the
letter the length of the session in
months, and place as exponent the
number of teachers employed. Thus,
8B2 means a school of B rating with
an eigfit months term and two teacfa
ers.
Some Things Worth Considering During
the Session.
Every teacher should select at least
one, and endeavor to carry it out.
1. Better attendance. Every child
within reach of the school should be;
present ever}* day of the session. The j
teacher should know all about every!
child of sci':ool age in the community |
and understand reasons for his absence
from school .
2. Better teaching. The teacher
should do her best, and he her best
in every particular.
3. Better work on the part of
pupils. If there is inefficiency or unresponsiveness,
find the cfeuse and re.
move it.
4. Better school atmosphere. Let
every day be clean-up day.
5. IMore practical training. The
aim of the scfeool should be the highest
development of all that is good in
every child, with a view to the most
practical and the most useful.
6 Better cooperation. The teacher
should inspire ibelpful and hearty response
from pupils, patrons and
school officers

On account of increased equipment,
new school buildings, greater community
activities, and better teachers
the schools of the county during the
last year have increased 568 points in
efficiency.
Condition of Sefoools.
The community worK at .tiunter-jjeiWlalt
school has been so thorough
that steadfast improvement has resulted;
but more equipment is needed.
Silverstreet has a splendid building;
but needs more cooperation
among patrons. St. Lukes has jet an
excellent opportunity to build up a
rural iMgh school. Smyrna is equipped
almost perfectly in detail. Prosperity
has a great need of improvement
on the school grounds. Trinity
should change the desks so that the
light will come from the pupils left.
Are the Jalapa folks as much interested
in their school as the teachers and!
new building would warrant? Wtiee-j
land like many other districts will i
have to take more care to see that j
tfce dog and poll taxes of that district
are on the treasurer's books.
'Saluda has need of two strong
teachers for the entire term. Whitmire
will be in good financial condition
to employ the additional teachers
needed. Little Mountain deserves the
support of the people of surrounding
districts to whose children she has
opened her doors. St. Paul may play
a part in the education of the county
by becoming a part of an adjoining
district. Zion f:as two teachers who
teach so many grades that the work is
not as satisfactory as it otherwise
would be. Johnstone has had a remarkable
increase in enrollment. Burton
win lengthen the school term to
eight months next year. Garmany has
lost by a tornado the school that graded
seventy-one., and expects to far exceed
that grade next year. Long Lane
graded B on clean-up day score with
which this permanent record score
is sometimes confused.
j Deadfall needs at least twenty feet
of hyloplate blackboard. Beti'neden
needs a pump and paint. Reederville
will have to spur up to keep np with
surrounding schools. McCullough is
one of tfce schools that should have a
summer festival to secure money for
a library. Chappells' beautiful building
has never been as carefully kept
as it should he. Utopia through a. mistake
on the part of tfie supervising
teacher was graded B last .year when
the lack of equipment and the bad
lighting: causes it to be in class
C Maybinton needs a porch and paint.
Hartford needs blackboards in the
primary Toom. Fairview seeks the
get together spirit. Rutfrerford needs
a pump, which will be forthcoming
where there is suGh good spirit. Mt.
Pilgrim is expecting to add blackboard
in the same way that she added
to the library. Ridge Spring with two
teachers will be prepared to do good
work. Mt. Pleasant trustees by supplying
needed equipment have greatly
increased the efficiency of their school.
Excelsior has had a successful year.
Big Creek people are considering
sending their children to St. Lukes.
Swilton will either have a one teacher
or a consolidated school next year.
Fork has increased its equipment remarkably,
Tranwood trustees can
greatly improve their school by adding
blackboards and closing the front
window. Pressley too indicates the
need of sociability. Mudlic could be
transported to a school in Laurens
county if a consolidation tln.ere is ef
ieciea. Monuueiiu u<i& several pujjiio
who should be able to enter Prosperity
high school. Kinards is prepared to
build one of the best schools in tfae
county. Mt Bethel can well afford
equipment that can be moved when a
new house is built. O'Neal] has made
au v ciiiccinc a i. _ iiaj? auuui c*
dozen c iidren in a very good building.
At the Mollohon mil! school new
desks ha-e been put in this year. By
the side of Dominick a new c.urch
| is being built. Bush River is in good
| condition financially. Belfast is one
I of the best equipped schools in the
county. Oakland has had sixty-seven
interesting children attending school.
Broad River is another school that
j needs a library, but has a nice little
I house. Trilby is a good building set
off from trie road. 'Yaughnville was
very pretty at times when decorated
with fall leaves and flowers. The people
of McCrary have been interested
enough to help their school largely.
Central is unfortunately situated between
Little Mountain and Pomaria.

the nine children greatly enjoy. New
Hope pupils did some beautiful work
at the county school fair. Union sc':ool
can be proud of its fine deep well. Being-'a
school of three children, Reagin
would like to have the children transported
to a good nearby school. What
a wonderful opportunity the teachers
ot St. B.illips will have next year in
that convenient building! Cromer will
not be satisfied to remain at tr.e end
of the list next year.
r.liss Grace Wyatt, Easley, S. C.,
has accepted the Mudlic school for
next session.

Try "GETS-IT," It's
Magic for Corns
New, Simple, Common-Sense
Way
You will never know how really easy
it is to get rid of a corn, until you have
tried "GETS-IT." Nothing like it has
ever been produced. It takes iess tine
to apply it than it does to read t' is. It
will dumbfound you, especially if you
have tried everything else <for corns.
Two drops applied in a few seconds?
that's all. The corn shivels, then

comes right off, painlessly, without
fussing or trouble. If you have ever
made a fat bundle out of your toe with
bandages; used tJhick, corn-pressing
cotton-rings; corn-pulling salves;
corn-teasing plasters?well, you'll ap
predate ti:e difference when you use
"GETS-IT." Your corn-agony will vanish.
Cutting and gouging with knives,
razors, files and scissors, and the
danger of blood-poison are done away
with. Try "GETS-IT" tonight for any
corn, callus, wart or bunion, .sever
fails.
"GETS-IT" is soid by druggists
everywhere, 25c a bottle, or sent direct
by E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago. Sold
