COMPULSORY EC JCATION Columbia, Kepi. 15.-The need of a <? mpulsory nltendance law is recog nized throuhoul tho state, according to J. E. Swearingon, state euperlnton- ; deni of education. He lias sent out! :i letter to well known South Caroli nians asking their (minion ns to the] nature of the compulsory education, law to be considered at the next ses sion or (he legislature. He says that the only difference among friends of education is found In the terms of the statute. "It Is certain." said Mr. Swearhifien, "that the legislature of 1915 will he asked to work out a practical solu tion ? of thiB question, hence it ls highly important that Ute most prac tical and servicocable measure be en acted." It ls pointed out by Mr. Swearin gen that tho law must deal with the following points: Tile age of pupils, 7 to 13, or 8 to 12. Maximum distance pupil walks, ?I miles or 2 1-2 miles. Maximum number of pupils to be Instructed by ene teacher, certainly, not more than 50. Free text hooks for pupils needing them. Building to be erected at county and state expense in districts unable to pay for adequate school houses. Liberal state appropriations for weak districts in order to provide a minimum term, preferably 7 months. Th!.* policy will necessitate a tax of not less than one mill or omer than than two mills. Enforcement can bp insured only by a truant officer and by adequate penalties. First, a warning; Second, a fine; Third. imprisonment or a chalngang sentence. Needod exemptions for certain class es of children. Prohibition of the employment by corporations of illiterates under 21 years of age. Length of school session during which'attendance is compulsory. Since the Constitution of 1895 em power* district trustees io use district funds in their discretion, the school term must probably be regulated by school boards. In my opinion compul sory attendance should be required throughout the full session-9. 8. 7. 6, 5, A or three months. Such a pro vision will be flexible, will suit local needs and will help solve thc difficul ties of tito raco problem. Other provisions which cannot be included in tills outline but which will suggest themselves to your mind. "In my opinion," says Mr. Swear fngen, "whatever school attendance law ls enacted mu.-t receive the con sent In this territory affected before it can be successfully enforced. Spec ial school taxes are now voted in each district by the resident electors who return rea? and personal property for taxation. Almost one-third of the people of the state have declined to vote a local tax, although the vchools In a majority of these districts are in need of money. "In my Judgment, school attendance must be regulated in the Bama manner upon petition of a majority ol the reB idunt electors In any Behool district. | In any aggregation o? adjoining dis tricts of any county." Thc Buperinl d' nt says that the cooperation of M the people lu tli*- Etate in [ruining an adequate law will Lo highly appreciated," concludes Mr. SVearingen.
