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 School Grading.

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. , ToKcrnonU l oo ? nan' j i auui iiatic ? - ac a ut r> nuiai j *1 uivu 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.
