WHAT HAS BEEN DONE 



The Teachers' Home at Pleasant Hill, Hamer, S. C., was an old 

 church, which was repaired and remodeled. (T. H. Watson, Council, 

 N. C.)

We have a cottage, which is used by the superintendent of the 

 schools, valued at about $3,000. It has four rooms downstairs and three 

 rooms upstairs. The rooms are something like 16x16 feet. We have 

 electric lights and water, and the old southern fire-places. What I think 

 we need is a boarding hall for teachers. (D. R. Riser, Superintendent 

 City Schools, Manning, S. C.)

Our school is perhaps a little different from most schools. It is 

 located in a historic section of Anderson County. We have 125 acres of 

 land in connection with our "Teachers' Home." Now in regard to size 

 and construction: We have a six-room cottage, a long hall with three 

 rooms on either side, a fire-place in all rooms except one, two rooms very 

 small, the others fairly comfortable. I am a teacher in this school, and 

 if you will pardon me for the suggestion I would advise a house without 

 a hall. We use our hall very little. Often wish it was a room. The 

 "Teachers' Home" is a great thing, especially in the rural communities, 

 where it is so hard to get board. Our great trouble here is getting some 

 one suitable to run the house. (Cora E. Haddon, Liberty, S. C.)

The "Teachers' Cottage" here is a frame building, ordinary weather board- 

 ing and inside ceiling of the usual beaded ceiling ; inside height about 12 feet, 

 shingle roof. Painted white, with interior painted a light oak, overhead blue. 



The cottage was made from the old schoolhouse that was on the ground 

 before the consolidation of the schools of the District, and the erection here 

 of a nice brick school building. The old building contained two large rooms 

 with a narrow hall of about eight feet. This hall was made wider, and the
