COOPER EXTENDED A (COMTIWJKD FROM PAOI5 ONE.) j -'?--->?? '' ' .C. "r-1 him, la vested thc supreme excutlve authority. In stating my position two' years ; ago, I stated that there wcro throe essential qualifications to be consid ered in reference to evry candidat for i mobile office: let.--is ho cbmpelcntT 2nd. lo bo worthy* and 3rd^WJll he be faithful? lt ia by these three standards that t would be measured, and 1 trust that during the campaign upon which we enter today, It will be the controlling purpose of each and' every , candidato to be measured solely upon the basia ot bis fitness for ?public service. It is . no inly fm? i eose or desire to undortako to show tho unfitness of any man. I ' be-| ? lleve in a campaign freo, from tfor sonalitleoi on? in which tho discus alon before the public shall have re ference to questions ot'importance to the people of this stain. Tho ' most important question he fore 'the . pooplo of this state today, and tho oho which must continuo to be of most importance .it .we are to go forward in our material development, ls tho mattor of 'providing adequate jeducatica?.! facilities. I name this as most important because In a pro per solution bf this will bc found the solution of all othbr troubles, . sy pro'vidlng adequate education, we in crease the production ot labor and the soil, and we provide a bate guard against ? lawlessness. By a . groper education of the people, wo settle - the matter 'bf social and moral re -form. X believe lt to be tho duty of tho ut ato of South Carolina to make provisi?n for the development of our educational system until the high . schools w^ttioh are now hoing estab . Hshed in every nook end corner' ot ; the . state, shall furnt/A an education equivalent, t? whet is now beding pro vided In the'first two years Ot bbl-) loge work. This la. of tremendous /?topcrlance for tho reason that ninety ! per " cent - of the white children of J j South Carolina-will.- receive all.the ? education' which ,they can over havo1 in the achoo!' nearest tb'their* home, "?;' Thb'^bllegeB, both state and denomi-, ?? national, could - not accommodate more than-ten per cont, if all Bhonld apply I believe that there, should bb closer unity, and moro ihtimato contact between our schools and colleges.;: In Other words, our edu ? catlonal System should be.so organis ed that when a boy or girl shall com plete the course of study provided':in . our-prlma^.ieol^lBi' anti enters any .of the-; collages/ the collegeV.wi/rk. uhould bo a~ contlnu|itIob ; of the work al n ady ; commenced, in the. . primary schools. - We have, in Clemson'*col-! lego an institution which is already ? do'ng a greata work, but its .useful \'nev3' to ?.tho people- of tho .state 'can bo greatly enhanced if wo would be-1 gin to teach agriculture in all;of the] -preparatory 7 schools.^ ? attach sreat importance to this' phauo of our odu . eatlon 'tor-the feaBon that wo : are, i _M '' ._. - ...ll....

'.?. would not say. or- do ono thing which ' would, In any'degree; em barrass or hinder the work Ot our .' state colleges and universities, "but i believe it to bb wrong for these in stitutions tb grant freo Bcholarsbiips and free tuition. I belicve;.a decid edly better plan ls.for thq;atatb to provide a Fund from which* loans can be rabdo worthy boya f and r girls, which w ill enable them .to ; complete ". a cou'rab in any ot the colleges of tho state'. This^ loan could ha made without ibterbst and could bo paid back hy the btudent who^gcts th*, benefit of lt, and then relent to an other.- - It l? imposBlblb to gb Into au ot the details bf . this plan, but I bc lleve dt pan b? worked but BucceBSv fully. It may be said that'the statt ' owes every one bu education and that free tuition in all tho. school^ . ano, colleges should be.granted tovell. I frankly admit that there ls force In thia position, but lt is ? a, condition, and not a theory, which confronts us The fact is that no amie than five nor cent Ot th? children ' who - could ehter college; can ever partiel-, bate in thia provision. It may be said that we would have difficulty lu collflctia&v these loans. I can. not . 'think favorably bf. thia view. I be lieve that any boy er girl who is do eirena of completing a college > Wurt* . and wh? signs an oatigat'on to cap , stttt^ agreeing-'t? ?ay^^^W ey ipeceasary to complete bl*, causa tion, will regard it a? a *ebt of bortv br. :. If the i colleges ?re not furftiaU lng fan education which will ? eaoie one who hos taken the conree, BO to iucroaso hfo earning capacity as* to to repay the loan without any oar?ahlp, then there la something wrong with dur ?ducation. Ard, ?, on tho other hand, iht ?olhnje? aie not turning out boy* and girls tvljo would regard a debt of this kind as being one which must be paid, there Ia something radically wrong with thc work of auch institution, lt ls m nut torin 1 to me how .this fuud should be managed, who should haud'o lt, etc. We now have a state boa ri of education. Provlidon could be ??ade for them to pass upon applications and grant loans, or the governor, comptroller and. state r treasure might do so, or the presidents of UK different state collegos might bo au thorized to handle lt. Thf? ls.a mat ter of detail which can easily be worked out, Now, my friands, '$|,< hope that/no one wilt say that j a?a opposed tovbigher'education by lae state. This io the souled policy, lt 1B not an open question. The ?tats ls committed to it and. my desire ls to ?co tinco institutions sa tnaua?ed as to increase the!? effect!vcuest and enlarge their field?, and nt the same time,, BO administer it au i > give equi) advantages and opportunities to ul!. I c. eke no charge against any one. I do, not crltfvise any one, but it ?3 a notorious fact that In uti the Mate iclieges and u?VerdiiK-M of today many - students are onloylcg fm scholarships abd free tu .tien'who afe amply able to pay, without ttio nec CPiity tr. borrow ia 4 money. If they did pay. it . would .'i?crea?e ute reve nue of the colleges, and would ?V ablo them to do more . and ; better work, and, also, enable the.state v. assist others who are un no lo to pay by tho plan which I have suggested. I have already given out .a State ment to the press In reference to the state warehouse -system and tho fire insurance situation. . Tho;matter ..ot marketing our. agricultural producta Is oho of importance. I believe that the. State should provide- a system ol warehouse's and such regulation ol warehouses as 'will enable the tarni er to market his products to the best -advantage, and to enable him where necessaty to borrow tconey: on cotton warehouse receipts at the ; lowest rate of interest. .
