ERSKINE COLLEGE The Press and Banner has re-' I ceived the eighty-fourth annual; catalogue of Erskine College. It is' printed in fine form and succinctly: ctates the necessary facts about the j college. A short sketch of the col- j Jege is first given, followed ;by a statement o<f the entrance require- j ine-nts and the courses o? study in! the different classes. We note that the entrance re-' quirecnents of the college are that a' student must present fifteen units of j completed work in a high school, or! other school, in order to be admitted J to the freshman class unconditioned, j Jt is provided, however, that a stu-j dent who Ifas completed thirteen < units may be admitted on condi- j tion, and be allowed to make up the other two units by the end of the oopnomore year. i There is nothing more important than that the entrance requirements' of a college be adhered to, and we ' are glad to note that such is tho policy of Erskine college as outlined in the catalogue. It is true that there are those who would like to obtain | the benefits of some kind of an edu cation, but who cannot show the re quired scholarship in order to enter the college. It is unfortunate that this is true, but it is more important ! to operate Erskine College as a col-' lege than as a shop in which to mend the miscellaneous educational de-' fects in yoiung men whose training Has Doen more or jess nc^icvicu from one cause or another, and who, are therefore not prepared to enter college. For the latter provision is; mad? in the fitting schools of the country and it is to be hoped that J Erskine College in the next few' years will itself make provision for giving these men, many of them, (most deserving, necessary propara-! tion for entering the college classes. | The roll of students shows a hun-j dred names of young men and wo men who are pursuing the work of securing an education at the old col lego. Their names indicate that most of them come from the sturdy Se ceder stock, with here and there the name of an inspiring young man or woman who comes to Due West on \ account of the advantages which that quaint town and its good schools offer, which cannot be found elsewhere in the world. Accompanying the catalogue (which, by the way, the president spells "catalog,"' for which he should be "sessioned") is a "Book of Views'' of the college showing off the college buildings and certain views about the campus. The book is finely printed and exhibits enter prise on the part of the new presi dent and his advisers. We have, too, a letter from the Central Reunion Committee of the college calling attention to the plan of the Alumni for having each of their numiber attend upon the com rnprirAm<?nts of the college at least once in overy five years. The advan tages of the plan are "strongly stated. Rev. W. A. McAuley of Greenville, is the Chairman of the committee and is one of the most enthusiastic of the younger men of the alumni as well as a consistent worker for the college. Th0 plan will insure the attendance of many Ers kine men at each succeeding com mencement. The present year the members of the classes of '67, '72, '77, '82, '87, *92, etc., are called to meet. Erskine College, as stated, in the sketch on the first pages of the cata logue, has served the cause of Chris tian education for nearly a hundred years. The college was a pioneer in this work in South Carolina? In tho beginning the graduates of the in Sutuuun, lur ui?; must pan, gave | their lives to teaching and to the. ministry, the causes of Christian ] V ' education and of the Gospel of Christ being the chief reasons for the foundation 'of the college. As the college has grown, the courses of study have been broadened and now a young man may satisfy his de sirer for almost any course taught in the modern college, though, it should be stated, and stated with prido, that Erskine College still gives first place to the "cultural studies." , Attention is called to the fact that many men of great merit in the ministry and in the affairs of state and of their several communities have boen trained at Erskine Col lege. The college justly claims credit for having laid the foundations of the structures which they have builded. Many good and strong men, the most distinguished men of the denomination, have guided the des tiny of the college. There are the names of Dr. E. E. Pressly, Dr. R. C. Grier, Dr. Patton, Dr. W. M. Ti? T V Pi-Qccl\r nnrl ,Dl\ unci , JL/i. A . X . JI ? Www.J ? James Strong Moffatt. All of them have gone to the reward of the righteous except one who remains to guide the affairs of the college 'by his good common sense and his great desire to see the college just , what it was intended to be by those who built it. Succeeding these great men is a young man, only a little more than 30 years of age. But he comos of the Deonle who have made the Asso ciat? Reformed Presbtjerian Church a tower of strength wherever it seeks to minister to the people. He holds the position which he does, however, not 'because, of these facts alone, but because he inherits the sense and sound judgment of his grand-father Pressly- and of his father, who served Erskine College faithfully and well for mor? than a quarter of a century. He comes to the great task set out for him with youthful enthusiasm, and with a storehouse of energy which promise great progress for the college. Asso ciated with him on the faculty are men trained in the teaching profes sion, prepared to offer the student the best that is to be had in the way of a good education and in careful and thoughtful training. There is ij reason why Erskine College shou' i not maintain its place as the first denominational college in the state. Unless we mistake the signs of the times Erskine College has Jusl commenced to grow and to be use ful +n thp phtlreh. to the state and to the country. The young man and young woman of Ajbbeville Countj looking for a college to attend the present fall, will do well to consult President Grier and to consider the claims of Erskine College before making a final decision in the mat ter. COOPER'S APPOINTMENT The appointment of Governor Cooper as a member of the Federal Farm Land Board is an appointment of merit whatever the controlling forces securing the. appointment. Governor Cooper was reared on the farm and has always taken an ac tive interest in agriculture. He is a practical farmer himself. His train ing as a lawyer and his good business judgment as well as his interest in rural development and education combine to make the appointment one of merit. Liberty Bond* Found Washington, May 11.?Police headquarters was notified tonight of the finding of $480,000 in Liberty bonds, supposed to be those stolen from the Chase National bank in this city oil April 27 in a safe de posit vault in a 'bank at St. Augus tine, Fla. A former employe? of the Chase National bank, it was Said, had been arested, also an arrest was reported from Savannah, Ga. The Real Need London Opinion. Tho bishop's secretary reported to him: "A well meaning committee in the diocese has designed a moral gown for the modern girl. The gown, I "have been given to under stand, is of good thick woolen stuff, it comes up to the chin and down to .the instep, and it Is loose, not re vealing the figure in any way." The bishop smiled. "Now that you have designed the gown," h& said, "why don't they design a girl who will wear it?" Portugese is the language of about 30,000,000 people. 1 .

Williams, a specialist in boll weevil 1 poisoning, has 'been secured by the I Extension Service from the Delta ! Laboratory, Tallulah, La., to have ' charge of demonstration worfc in poi soning the boll weevil by the use of 1 calcium arsenate during the present season, according to announcement of Director W. W. Long, Mr. Wil liams began this duties in this con 1 nection May 10, and will have charge of six demonstrations in dif ferent parts, of the state and will give instruction to county agents re j garding the details of successful ' poisoning. I At a recont meeting of the Board 1 of Trustees of Clemson College,, ' provision was made Tor the purchase j of six dusting machines and for se curing a specialist to supervise the | work on six demonstration farms to foe selected by the Extension Service for this purpose. Director Long an nounces that the demonstration tvill be on the farms of the folLwing far mers: Albert Scarborough, Richland County; S. J.

'From these demonstrations on ' the control of the (boll weevil much valuable information will be secur ed and disseminated for the benefit pf South Carolina farmers. In this connection also the Ex tension Service will hold in the near future three district meetings of the county agents throughout the state for the purpose of having Mr. Williams instruct the agents regard ing the details in the use of calcium arsenate and the proper manage ment of machines. In turn the coun ty agents will selerct in their re spective counties 10 to 15 farmers with whom they will conduct demon strations on poisoning. These farm ers will 'be selected largely from the stand point of accessibility in their communities and neighboring farm ers will be notified froan time to (time when dusting demonstrations j will be given on the farms of the 10 | to 15 farmers selected. In this way it is hoped to reach maximum num ber of farmers with authenic in structions on poisoning.
