4 rt# E T OF WINTHROP BY THE LEGISLATURE. (Printed by request.) PCi President Johnson, while at Atlan- hoi tic City, sent the following telegram dr3 to Senator Hart, who did his best to secure for Winthrop proper treaf, kit ment at the hands of the Legislature: the "I wish to give solemn warning lar that if Winthrop College is not giv- me en more money than was provided in cor House appropriation bill for printing, do 'fuel, electricity and gas, wages, jan- far itors and laborers, repairs and for sid few additional teachers for additional stud in accordance with itemized. sh< statt filed with the Finance Com- "A mittee, it will be seriusly crippled, if coc not prevented from running through 4 the fiscal year. If injury results to wii Winthrop College it will result with hei thefull knowledge of those in author- rar ity and by their deliberate action, and kit they will be reponsible. We have we worked for thirty-five years for the to up-building of Winthrop College, and ive for the education of the women of to the State. Our board of trustees be e given to the Legislature full de- sto tailed and itemized statements of the ing needs of the College, with the orga- wa nization and expenses reduced to a ma minimum, and we can do no more. I arr am here attending a National Educa tional Association and cannot go to Columbia before the Legislature ad- sci journs. Winthrop's life and useful- oil. are now in the hands of the wh General Assembly. The College be- mo to the 'tate, and not to the a I d faculty or the board ma of , and the State can do what it pleases with it. If it wishes the to cut down and cripple it, it can do sto to. If it wishes to curtail the usefuL sh< ness to the women, the schools and sib the homes of South Carolina, it can plii do so. It would be a disaster to the on( State, however, if Winthrop should Th be crippled. There was never a time huw when there was a greater need for ver teachers, and Winthrop is preparing en main supply of trained teachers exi State. We are asking for on- Th money to run the College drE y as now organized. av< Tb* Legislature failed to give the bu! dfef asked for, While requiring . 'college revenues to -be turned into. cor State Treasury, it failed by pla to provide money absolutely dre to kee#up the College ma- saf : itaiklrig ~the employ.. boi onal teachers to mo for additional -nd -m While denying Winthrop College wl the money necesary for rnnning ex- mu peses and to complete buildings al- tir zaeady in course of erection, it gave es * another State College over $15,000, to employ six additional teachers, ma -$1,000 to- raise salaries of teachers ' 'already employed and $62,500 forfe repairing old buildings. We do not ma ~say these appropriations should -not wi have been made for another institu, ki tion, but we do say most emphatically ab( that if made, then Winthrop's re- kit Squest for running expenses to employ mo some new teachers to take care of ph 150 new students next session ought anc not to have been denied. cre It is clear to anyon0 that dis- ad crimination was shown against the to * 2 one College established and main ed by the State for the educa- e tion of the women of theState. The appopriation bill passed carried ap- o propriations directly and indirectly, of b approximately $1,400,000 for the 3 e tStat'e Colleges for men with an en-er rollment of approximately 1,700 stu. * urm !dents, while carrying an appropria- s tion of only $398,694.60 for the one t College for women with an ~..nent of approximately 1,100bo en,...fts. ,~ of Where is the fairnes and justness t -to the women of the State in such dor unfair treatment of the State's Col- wh< lege for women. o Th State has appropriated for the st Winthrop Colleg0 plant in the thirty.. flve years of the lifeof the college RU only $631,117.62, although the value of the plant is now $2,255,842.35, and yet it appropriated nearly $900,000 to build a new plant for one of the State colleges for men in less than cho or three years. anc We ask again, where is the .justice ha; in such treatment of Winthrop Col-pi loge?. The time has come for Win' div, throp's friends and alumnae-and i they number many thousands-toan speak in no uncertain way' the We do not believe the people of in South Carolina wish to see Winthrop and College crippled, and all that is nec- the essary is for them to know the facts- sa Winthrop Gollege is giving value r received to the State. We do not be- I lieve any one will deny that fact, era There is nothing more vital to thie em schools and children of the State than ion indteahers, and Winthrop is bee furnl.hing the main supply 4f these by rHE WOMAN'S WORKSHOP. n estimating the time spent in forming the daily tasks in the ne, cleaning, eooking meals, laun. work, etc. we find that about 70 cent of the housekeepers' time is nt in the kitchen. Usually the :hen is the least desirable room in house and is responsible to a ge extent for the attitude that wo n have toward their work. A ,venient well regulated kitchen will much to insure the comfort of the aily and should receive first con erstion in planning the house. the kitchen is the woman's work p and it has been truthfully said smiling kitchen makes a happy k". kt the precent time most house res are forced to do their work, Ice the necessity of a better ar iged and equipped kitchen. The :hen of today should be convenient .1 lighted and well ventilated, easy keep clean, comfortable, attract The windows should be planned give plenty of air, but care should taken to prevent a draft over the ve The walls should be of a pleas color, either calcimined or white sh colored with yellow ochre or dye kes a good covering for walls that not plastered. ' [he floors should be such that could r'asily cleaned and not have to be ubbed often. Linoleum or floor .cloth makes a good covering, ich can be wiped up with a damp p, or, if the floors are fairl smooth, ight coating of boiled linseed oil kes a good finish and easy to clean. [he kitchen should be planned so chief articles of furniture, the ve, the sink and the work table uld be as near each other as pos e. Whether or not a house is sup d with running water a sink is of the necessities of A kitchen. galvanized iron sink, with one idred feet of drain pipe, costs a y small sum, a porcelain lined or Imeled sink, while a little more )ensive, is much more desirable. a plumbing below the sink and in ~ board should be left open to iid furnishing ,a hiding place for :s and a place for dirt to collect. Vater-bugs -and roaches will not 1e into a house unless they have a ce to hide. A 3-inch terra cotta in pipe should carry waste water a 8 distance from the house. On the ht 'of the sink should be a drain i'd and' rack, this. fixture -saves re work than anylother one of the Lirar thitchen andfoer. y with the dishcloth.

'here is ho feature of home ar ~ecture that will save so much la and afford so much comfort be so conducive to health and piness as an abundant supply of e water. The farm not only lacks' ~rsion and amusement that are nd in cities and towns, but thous s of farm homes are without what dwellers in the poorest tenements he city have learned to demand, ,that is running water. No doubt greatest convenience and labor ing device for the farm women is fing water in the home, t has been estimated that the av ge family in the city,father, moth and three children, use 8,000 gal. s of water per month. It has also n estimated that water handled the farm woman weighs 8 1-2 lbs gallon, the bucket weighs 1..2 THE NEWS AND I lb., and she lifts each gallon three times lifting 27 lbs. for each gallon used in her home. Using water com panies' figures, of 3,000 gallons per month, the farm woman lifts 81,000 lbs of water per month, or 2,700 lbs. per day. Most farmers will usually say, "We have plenty of water at our house",. But where is it? "Out in the pump". Why not take it in the house? You can afford to buy a trac tor or some other machinery to make farm work lighter and save time. Running water will save the over burdened housewife lots of extra work and it is more conducive to hea'th, cleanliness and comfort than any oth er ' onvenience of modern times. It can be had, too, with little cost. There are various types of water systems for the home, from the ordi nary pump with the kitchen sink to those with tanks where water is forced from' wells or springs by gas or electric engines. In connection with the water sys tems in the home comes the necsesity to have a satisfactory sewage disposal plant. Septic tanks can be made and used in a satisfactory way. The tank may be made of concrete and buried under the ground.

Columbia, May 2.-A mass meet ing of the South Carolina citizens to consider road development has been called by representatives of various state wide associations for Wednes day, May 18, at noon, in Craven Hall. Every state-wide organization has been asked to appoint delegates, ev ery Chamber of Commerce, every Rotary and Kiwanis Club and the va rious cities and towns. The call for the meeting follows: The State of South Carolina must either take steps to insure the build ing of improved hig1ways or it must lose its place in the procession of progressive states. With all of our neighboring states building or pre paring to build modern highways it is plain to be seen that our state must either keep pace with them or it will suffier. The wonderful development that always follows in the wake of improved highways will not only at tract to our neighboring states citi-' zens who might otherwise have bee-i attrseted to South Carolina, but will irstuEllyrob as of many of our own ciisans. North Carolina is preparing to spend $50,000,000 in the building of improved highways. Georgia is im provin her roads and Florida, not content with the splendid highwcys of which she already boasts, is plan ning to spend more money on them. South Carolina instead of going for.. ward in the matter of rood buildng is going backward. Realizing the gravity of the situ ation which confronts us the repre sentatives of various state-wide as sociations have decided to call a mass meeting of the people of South Car lina to be held in Craven Hall, in the city of Columbia, on Wedneday, May 18, at noon, to consider the matter with hope that some plan may be evolved to remove the terrific handi :ap under which our state has been aboring and which will be felt more strongly in the future a .... some thing is done.
