There were iasi year at New erry college .">rt .e 254 boy." and ^'rls, and this year around three hundred. Thr statement above of course is by the treasurer of Newberry college and io a showing: of expenditures for the last session of 1&21-1022. I We do not like to mike cunrpnrlKvt wo car? rinl". hp In fchipkiri? about comparing the expend'tare of the University of South Carolina v.ilh the expenditures o* Newberry college. The maintenance fund at the ' university of the same se.ss.on v/ajust around' $230,COO. Of couiv you will say this is a university and .a state institution, and of course it tikes monj money to run a state institution than a private college. T&ais true. But at the unive: .y there were only around 400 si.uaer.ts during the same college year. And th.! work at the two institutions is very much the same. And the gradua:;. of the two institutions compare about < the same. It does not soem to us .hat there .should be such a great diiicience gi the cost of operating the two insticutions. It costs the slate about $600 per year for cach student m the university in addition to wnat it costs the s.udent, while at Newberry it. costs only about $12o per student. a part of which is paitl by the student " and a *)art comes from the meagre endowment which :he people have gone down in their jeans ana provided \ " This is not written in any spirit of opposition to the university nor to any of thivstate ins::cutions, bat .it has seemed to us that there mi^ht be a little more economy in tl"j administration of our jsta:e institutions oi f higher learning. At leas, it has ap* * * . j- 1. 1 i : peareu tr.a~ n migas ye rjoxeu *:hi> and see if there is any, place where thctfe might be a FI.tie e.jnoaiy practiced. The stato appropriation for* the common schools amounts 10 or.h six or seven dollars per child. The proportion is out of joint, it has api>. .. peared to us. We are not unmindful of the fact that in order to have a' > good system of common rhools ihestate must maintain a system of [higher institutions of learning, or that ?ias been th? history of education. Education ;:cms to come from the top down a. a act from bottom up. The expenditure on the common schools from all soirees is only around forty dcl'r.rs per white err.ld. 'g4 And of course the greater part of that comes from the local tax on the property in the i hoo! dis:ri:*ts. The &/ ratio of expenditure at the other s:ate colleges is about the same as a; the >. university. The education:! problem that will face the next iegLlature is to adjust expenditures s;> 'ha. the common schools will no4t neglected and a / sufficient amount ovit'ed to give io each child in the state at !ea;t a term s. cf eight months that 'h re mav .. n* n - i.-o nr rcTi*:1?s v* - * 1 * opportunity.

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS I have made it a rule for man;-' years, in fart a'l my life, to spend a. 1">oc ~v~/i f'o*.- nv r>r>vf of hp f!av dnr in? the Christmas time if no: Chrirvmas (Lav, with the oh! folk at h: me. I beliew every on;* wno r.;:.- : ity. and espjvialiy f there ure children i:i the frfmily. should sru-nu tin* Chris:mas day in hi:- own home with the children and e:ijt y Santa Claus with them. Th*.*u if they have the old foik s:: 11 at the old home at least a oart of the Chris.may time should j be eiven to them, i may be wronjj. | tut that is my nol:'>n -.mi i have iriedj t. follow it ior the time .hat 1 have i been away from the old home ami that numbers a good many years. This Christmas dev b. in;r such a beautiful day. and all my fdlc nav:.:u'. j jione or not having: come, except the .aree li.t'.e Americans an.l their m-,.tiier. and they having received Santa C laus in the morning, I decided that j i would drive over to the old home i ;:-id take a little of the Chr:a.m:i> I \ vch *.is. We did not leave Newberry j U:si,i half past 12 o'clock, and after; n hour and a half we drove up to j t'le old home, and what do vyj think, j V '11 'l J i :n - noiue was lacked anu barred, no; e;ie a. home. Well, really I was ; re::;us? I kr.r.v that meant they were1 all well and abi.1 to be- out and aiv>nt. They had gone over to a neighbor's. Mr. Bryant's, to spend the day and Lr.fce dinner.
