The pressing -duty of Souti Caoiain educational matter n1o, a see it, is to reduce illit 'eracy and provide adequate ele mentary training for every child Our State, comparatively speak ing, has done well in providin, higher education. Churches an< private individuals have also ac comnplished great results for th same cause. We have reache< the point where it is necessary fo the State, the church and the citi zen to co-operate in building uj the elementary schools in orde that the State and the college: ma~ continue to prosper. Tha e ge is wise which lends it effrt to the aid of the common school. Our civilization cannot be wha we want it to be when one whit< man out of seven cannot write hi Iname, and one negro out of three is densely ignorant. I believs that our civilization fifty year: hence is directly dependent upo: our present efforts. Such bein' the case it behooves every citizer to help advance the work of edu cation and training. Not in perfnetory way with a quasi np proval, but lhe should study th< dotuaoit and help where he car dmotgood. This is a wor. upon which all can agree withou regard to creed, profession or oc caupation. We all believe in kno wl edge and training. We all believ< that ignorance and illiteracy ar< helpless, andl that the ability t< use knowledge is power. We be lieve that training develops skill and we know that our State need; knowsledge and skill. About on< thousand well equipped rura schools, with three first-clas teachers in each, are needed righ now in South Carolina. Thes could do primary, intermediat :and advanced work with success Thi desn not contemjals~te a mer at A.

Tho us more than p trial order so ti - hull of a building which would simply enclose three tsac hers and - a hundred children. It does noti a mean barely enough furniture to s seat the school. When we say . "school" we should think of ai . 'place of beauty, of service and of advantages. There should be at . tractions there for every member~ of the community. It should be j the centre of 'social and intellec - tual life. There the litsrary, Smusical, debating and social clubs Sshould meet. There should be the r library and the reading rooms. I . have recently been much interest Sed in some inquiries and observa r' tions which I have made in regard a to parents reading books from the i( t rural libraries. It is a source of;' ~gratification to think that our It schools are doing something for| the education of the parents. It is a special pleasure tco help those Ii whose early advantages were lirn sited. More than 50,000 books e have been put into country school libraries during the past eighteen c inonths. This is but an index li i and a beginni;g of theogreat work u .of building up our schoolsystema.v SThere is more to do in the way of| - better furniter, better houses t and better tea.mira bat time and - space forbidl further discussion, d along these lines.

S ~me of them are ela- 1: igant and excellent. Many are; well eqjuipped. These will natu--( rally l'ead to a demand for a bet- s ter ~system of preparatory and t Shigh schools. Within a few yearsy we should be able to bridge the 1: I ap bLtween our schools and col- 1. a leges. When this is done our t colleges will be forced to expand t Seven miore.

The following are some of the ligh lights of business and things1 >ut in the mouth of "Old Gorgon -g iraham" by the clever author of i Letters of a Self-made Merchant o his Son:"s It's been my experience that r rhen an office begins to look t ike a family tree, you'll find rorms tucked away snug and t heerful in most of the apples.
