Got Only 195 Votes MAY CALL NEW ELECTION The proposed bond issue for $100,-1 000 to be used for school buildings ' was decisively defeated in the elec-! tion Tuesday. The registration was ! not large only C85 and of this num ber only 195 votes were for the bonds. All of the other registered j votes, 490 in all, were counted a-1 gainst the bond3 whether they were j actually cast or not and so this gave a majority of 295 against the prop osition. Some of the opponents of the bond issue were so determined to express their disapproval that they worked hard to .get their side to vote, although it was entirely unnecessary in so far as defeating the bonds was concerned. They succeeded in bring ing out 227 votes which in itself was I a majority against the bonds and ' thus gave them a double defeat. Members of the board of trustees ' have expressed themselves as feeling relieved that the school bond ques tion has been settled for a time at least. They say they have done what they conceived to be their duty, that the people had an opportunity to ex press themselves and have done so and that the board cannot be held responsible , for the crowded condi tion of the school buildings. Two ; years ago the board announced that an election would be held on a bond issue but the opposition to it was so violent that the plan was dropped. Since then $375,000 has been spent for other purposes. The board mem bers say they have no idea when an-; other election will be called although if conditions arise that demand it an election would probably be called Superintendent Pittman Reign Anther development in the school situation ui Deuuiui L is me uuuuuutc ment that Superintendent C. W. E. Pittman will not be with the school another year. Re has accepted an offer fro mthe town of Marion and wishes to be relieved here on June 15th. His contract runs to August 15th but he asks to be allowed to leave earlier so that he can prepare for his new work. The school bond election had nothing to do with Mr. Pittman's resignation as he had clos ed his contract before the election occurred and would have left no mat ter what the result of , the voting might be. His new position pays a considerably better salary than he received hi and the school facili ties in Marion are better than in Beaufort. They have a new build ing there which cost $143,000 and has all the equipment necessary for do ing the best sort of work. Since Mr. Pittman came to Beau fort four years ago the public school here has made very consider ate progress. The attendance has increased, two teachers have been ad ded to the faculty and the high school is now on the State accredit ed list. When rM. Pittman became principal there was nothing in the way of athletics at the school. Now the larger boys and girls have good basket ball teams and a baseball team. The little children are taught also to play various kinds of out door games. The introduction of uth letics has done a great deal in the way of developing a spirit of pride and loyalty for the school. It of course has been good for the health of the students. Perhaps one of the most important features of Mr. Pittman's work in Beaufort has been the classification of children by means of standardis ed tests. The object of these tests is to ascertain the mental capacity end industry of pupils and to grade them accordingly. Some of the tests have shown that in the same, grade there would often be found children of widely different grades of! scholar ship. Some would be in the right " grades, seme would be a year or so behind and others a year or so ahead. Similar tests have been made in many schools throughout the country end the results have been very surpris ing. Educators now are generally REAL EST AT TRANSFERS.
