EDUCATION WEEK Meaning of Great Movement State and National. In order to arouse and organize pub, lie sentiment throughout South Carolina for gi-eater efforts for the total removal of illiteracy and the upbuilding of the public schools, fhe executive committee of the Citizen#' Educational Association of South Carolinu, the American Legion of the state, and county and city school trustees ana superintendents are endeavoring to have "American Education Week" Dec. 4 to 11, observed in every county in the state. The executive committee of the Citizens' Educationul Association of South Carolina, formed last July at Spartanburg by several hundred citizens from all parts of the state, has addressed a letter to every county school superintendent, requesting him. to have the school district trustees of his county call together the citizens on or about Dec. 10 to organize a county branch of the Citizens' Educational Associations. This movement is in coopera tion with the circular .recently issued hy State Superintendent of Education John E. Swearingen asking the school superintendents to arrange an observance in each county of "National Education Week." ^ f All white citizens Interested in the improvement of education are cordially " invited to attend these meetings and enroll as members of thO Citizens Educational Association of South Carolina no membership fees or contributions of money lielng required. The association is not one of school teachers alone, but is primarily of, by and for citizens unconnected with the schools. In each county the citizens assembled in these macs meetings are requested to petition the legislature of South Carolina to do three things at its next session: , .< 1. To create and appoint a commis- ! sion to conduct ti thorough education' al survey,of the etitlrd state. 2. To present to the people pro- ! posed amendments to the chapter on education in the state constitution j which will clear the way for educational progress. 3. To institute such tax reform measures as will enable the state to make the puhUc school system what it (?ught to he in every respect. In order to secure cooperation for the superintendents and tiustees In working up meetings, the following groups have been asked to participate: The American Legion posts, the alumni and alumnae of colleges and j wnman'ii ( lulls* fCiw.'inis I and ftotar? clubs;, churches; civic and j fraternal organizations. ^embers of lliese organizations are- asked at once to confer with the local school superintendent as to arranging a meeting programme, etc. The following .rough outline of programme for a meeting during "Xational Education \\\ok" is suggested1? Explanatory address by the county superintendent or others whom he may designate. 2. Enrollment of members. 3. Topics to be presented by special sjteakers: (a) Education, the greatest investment for community, state and nation: , (1>) The community's responsibility toward the school. 4. Discussion and decision by vote on the three proposals of the executive committee of the Citizens Educational Association of South Carolina outlined above. Election of delegates to the meeting of that association to be held in Columbia during the legislature?time and place to be announced. Twice as many delegates as there are representatives from the county in the legislature should be elected. C. Election of president, vice-president, secretary and executive committee of county educational association. It should be distinctly understood that this movement is not a drive for subscriptions or contributions of raoner from citizens, but simply an effort to organize and energize public scnt1lnent for a better educational system iii South Carolina.

Versailles, November 30: Henri Landru, who has been on trial for more | than three weeks in the assizes court' here charged with the murder of ten women and a boy, was found guilty ot | murder in the first degree tonight.j Landru was sentenced to die by the! guillotine. To all the 48 questions which the! court submitted to the jury on the J questions of the guilt, innocence oi mental capacity of the prisoner there' was a verdict of guilty of premeditated1 murder. No extenuating circumstances were included in this Verdict. Landru had borne himself throughout the lengthy trial without showing the slightest weakness and in: heard j the sentence of death imposed upon! I him without emotion. rr.L__ thren hours in 1 ne juij ?...? eluding a brief respite for dinner to pre I tare their replies to the 48 <|Ues- { lions the court submitted. i Al. Morn-Ginflferi, counsel for the defense, in an eloquent pica tinished his summing up today, after which Judge Gilbert read. 48 questions to the jury. The first of these was whether Landru was guilty of murder with premeditation in the case of Mile. Cochet. Questic-i.x also were put sis to the mental condition of the prisoner. M. Moro-Giafferi in his address cast doubt on all the evidence produced by the prosecution, ilo reminded the jury that a person could be proclaimed legally dead only when they had been missing .'10 years.

He also referred to notable cases of alleged miscarriage of justice based on circumstantial evidence. "A while slaver, yes; an assassin,j never,'.' exclaimed M. Moro-Giafferi.| pointing toward Landiu. He added] that the pqssession by the prisoner of! papers identifying his alleged victims J corroborated the theory that Landrui probably had sent the women abroad; with false papers in "white slave" traffic. "These women all are alive," said M. Morro-tJiafferi, referring: to the' ten women Landfu was charged with killing, "but they are ashamed tt> make their whereabouts known. Make a thorough search of the I'nited States and Brazil, Argentina and other South American countries and I am confident, you will find Landru's socalPed victims." "I am innocent," Landru shouted to the jury. This was the first time in the 32 months since he was arrested that the prisoner had ^ised the word "Innocent" In public. Heretofore he had contented himself with saying: "Show mc my guilt; make out your case." Today, however, he was showing more emotion than at any time during his trial. During the short address he made | to the jury, lasting barely a minute and a half. Landru declared: "i have j never killed anyone; 1 am innocent. ; Jurors, do yoqr duty."
