HID FOR OF AN IT IS STATED THAT THE DI COME TO ANDER MANAi ONE OF THE BIG Ml OF EDUCATI rlis Accession to the College Wou to the Institutio Columbia, Jan. .".th. It is learned here that Mr. W. H. Hand, Stute su prrvieor of rural schools hps heen offered the presidency <>f indcrsbn College und has taken the natter dor favorable consideration. it is known that Mr. Hand waa approached on this subject last year and that he declined at*that time as he could not very gracefully drop the great work in which he was engaged, it Is un derstood that Dr. 3. F. Vines wan call ed to the presidency against Or. Vine's wish and request, merely to hold tho place for a few months until Mr. Hand could be approached again, and the friends of Mr. Hand in Co lumbia believe that he will accept and that he will make Anderson Col lege the great piedmont institution for the ?ducation of young .women. Mr. Hand is n man of unusual exe cutive ability, of high standards of education, and of a One sense of pat riotic responsibility. He lias few equals as an organizer, not except ing Dr. D. B. Johnson of Winthrop College and If he does go to Anderson the people of that city may congratu late themselves upon the accession. J. M. B. The following sketch of Mr. W. H. Hand is an editorial from The south ern Sichool News of Columbia, W. H. Jones, editor: W. H. Hand. State inspector of high schools, misiit now te a railroad man- Instead of one of our best known teachers had not the merest chance directe* him to a teachers' institute being held In the school building at Flol'enc?. nnr> day in the ?>Jtrim<?r'r?f 1891. A young man. 1n the employ of tbe Coast Line, preparing himself for tho larger services ana activities of a great trunk line with headquar ters in Chicago, he was lb Florence and happened to pass where the in stitute was being held. He took a back seat In the assemblage of teach ers. The Instructors, tbe late G. Edwin Stokes, and Miss Helen Mc Master, observing f*?? young and In terested visitor asked him to Join in ti.o discussions. With modesty, he accepted their Invitation, and so able were his arguments and so logical his conclusions that he made a most favorable impression on all present. It happened that he was not the only visitor that day. Among others were two members of tho Florence school board. A few davg later Mr. Hand was offered the ?s)por!ntendaney Of the Florence city schools. This Was the turning point in his life. We are creature:; of fate and cir cumstances. Had Mr. Hand never left North Carolina for South Cftrc Una. if he had not chanced to be In Florence that summer day, it be had not gone for u stroll and passed the place where the teachers' Institute waa%-b?lng held, if he had not pre viously taught la his native state for five years, thereby acquiring an in terest in things pedagogical, if tho instructors had not asked htm to talk, if the trustees had remained at kAHM?wait if nnn? or these thlnas had happened, we would not now h?ve b*?f so ^ood a svsiem of' schools in South Carolina, and the subject or this xketch would be a railroad magnate. ; Mr. Hand's brilliant recosd sa a teacher, as public lecturer, as a city 1 STING?ISHED EXPECTS TO SON TO TAKE THE SEMENT ?N IN THE WORK ON IN THIS STATE d Mean a Great Deal of Strength n in Every Way j superintendent and as Slate insp?c ; tor of high schools is known to all. i It is altio a familiar faut that he ?as \ superiut?indent of the ehester ?-ity , schools for a number of years, going there, after two years of service in I ' Florence, in ix:t:;, remaining until : 100?. Through the broad-minded and i intelligent policy of the school board, 1 Mr. Hand was. during this period, af forded an opportunity to visit schools throughout the country. He became familiar with the leading school sys tems and being of acquisitive mind and disposition, he really absorbed and retained what was best of all that he sa v.* and observed. Mr. Hand's reputation was made soon after tak ing charge of the Chester schools. Here, in a small city, ho built r.p one of the best systems of schools of the Stato. While in Chester he spent three summers studying at Cornell University. At the Centennial celebration of the UniveVsity of South Carolina, Fror. Hand was one of tbe speakers. It waB here that he first attracted State-wide attention as an cducation j nl speaker, although his ability in I this direction was then well known to the teachers of the Sttate. His Vas one of the best addresses deliv ered on that great occasion, and it made a most profound impression. His services as speaker, as lecturer and as instructor in summer schools and institutes have been in demand. He 1ms taught in all the State sum ?. H. HAND mer schools held iu South Carolina except two, and has twice taught in the summer school at the University of Virginia, and will return there in .Tnn* inr the third time. He has won many educational hon ors. Ho has been president of the j Association oi City auporinienucnia. president of the IVate Teachers' As sociation, * member of the. County Board of Education of Chester coun ty, and for four years member of the executive committee of the Confer ence for Education in tbe South. In 1909, Mr. Hand was made pro fessor of secondary Education in the University of South Carolina, and one year later, was .made inspector of high schools by the Stato Board or Education. In this latter' position he. has made his most marked impress on tho schools and the people of the State and has rendered a most distinct service to South Carolina. Thorough ness, painstaking care and methodi cal planning have characterised all of his work in - this important office. Without arousing antagonism, he has successfully welded the complex and disorganised aggregatton of graded schools into a system with a fixed and definite- plan for future growth. Ills full and comprehensive high school reports have' attracted attention throughout the nation. The growth of the high schools in numbers and efficiency epoak eloquently In praise of his good. work. Since 1906 the number of high schools has increas ed from 9& to 16R; high school teach ers from 336 to 4?,9; high school en rollment from 4.812 to 8,030. Personally. Mr. Hand la very popu lar.
