WARDLAW PLANS FOR FIRST ISSUE Monthly Journal to be Call ed South Carolina Edu cation. The Department of Educa tion at the University is pre paring to publish a monthly journal known as the "South Carolina Education." The journal is to be edited by the faculty of the school of education of the University. Its scope will be as broad as its name. It will not be partial to the interest of any special in stitution or section of our our educational process but will strive to serve them all. Its purpose is to disseminate all that is best in educational thinking and educational doing in South Carolina. Although the editorial department has a very definite policy of its own, it earnestly desires that its col umns be a forum for the candid presentation, within reasonable limits of any side of any timely educational controversy. The journal asks, therefore, the support of teachers of every grade and class, of school boards, of institutions, of libra ries and of all citizens who real ize that education is South Car olina's chief job. On the board of editors are: Dr. Wardlaw, Professors L. T. Baker, Luceo Gunter and J. A. Stoddard. There will be eight numbers a year, the first to come out, October 15. The subscription price is $1.00. All subscriptions and communications should be addressed to "South Carolina Education," Columbia, S. C. At the regular meeting of the student body on Saturday morning W. C. Mann was elect ed to represent the students at the Founder's Day exercises which are to be held on Jan uary 15. Mann is a B. A. and M. A. graduate of the class of '17. He is now president of the Junior law class. In 1917 he was awarded the Gonzales medal for oratory.

It has as its field the rural problem of South Carolina considered from the ecenomic and social stand points. The conviction is abroad in the nation that rural progress has not been commen surate with that made in the cities. The farmers have come to hold this view- themselves. In some sections of the nation there has been an actual loss in the population on the farms; everywhere much of the choice leadership possible to country life has been attracted to the city. The leaders in our national life became aroused to these facts a few years ago, and the 'result was the National Country Life Commission. The follow ing significant statement was made by President Roosevelt in the establishment of this commission: "No nation has ever achieved permanent greatness unless this greatness was based on the well being of the great farmer class, the men who live on the soil; for it is upon their welfare, material and moral, that the welfare of the nation ultimately rests." The National Country Life Commission rendered a valu able service,' but was short lived on account of lack of con gressional support. Within the past year, however, the office of farm management in the United States Department of Agriculture has been set the specific duty of rural life stu dies from the economic and so cial viewpoints, and much in creased appropriations pro vided for this purpose.
