TEACHERS INDORSE BUSINESS TRAINING Educators Held Conference at University Saturday. Delegates from Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida attending the regional conference on commercial education and bus iness training at the University of South Carolina Saturday went on record as indorsing the idea and purposes of the series of 12 such conferences being planned by the bureau of education. The conferences are being held under the auspices of the commercial education section of the bureau of education, of which Dr. Glen L. Swiggett, at tending the conference at the university, is the head. The problem to be considered in the series is the ways and means of arranging that the schools and colleges will and can supply the demands of busines for men and women trained in commer cial and business subjects. The South Atlantic region, repre sented in the conference Satur day, has been very backward in realizing the duty of the school to the business world, only 14 out of the 71 institu tions of higher learning in the five states having separate schools of finance while only 54 of the 163 urban school systems of the region include commercial subjects. Only one normal school, provides for the training of teachers in these subjects and none of the col leges and universities grant full credit to vocational work taken in the high schools. The preb lem has been subdivided into three minor problems one of which was discussed at each of the sessions of the confer ence yesterday. These were: "Commercial Teacher Train ing," "College Entrance Credits in Commercial Branches" and "Vocational Commercial Sub jects in Relation to General Training and Regional or Lo cal Demands." The question of granting proper entrance credits on commercial studies in the high schools was referred to the Southern Association of Col leges and Secondary Schools, the consensus of opinion of the delegates yesterday being that the colleges of the five states were not giving proper credit to these studies. Ex-Senator Christie Benet addressed the morning session, saying that the three requisi.. MERCER LADS WIN FROM GAMECOCKS Carolina Team Plays Poorly in Field. Mercer University defeated Carolina at University field Sat urday afternoon by a score of 9 to 0. Stone was invincible in the pinches and kept the Gamerock's five hits well scat tered. Wallace was on the mound for the locals and with the exception of the second, when the visitors bunched four hits with a pass, pitched fair ball but his poor fielding offset his good work. Seaborn con nected for a triple during the afternoon, and his throwing was good. The Gamecocks committed few if any errors of omission, but several boots were registered in the pinches. Stone proved to be a regular pitcher and his delivery was well handled by Carson. Ricks, the southpaw first baseman, showed up somewhat as Dick Burrus and made a decided hit with the fans. The Carolina team looks to be very uncertain it they should get their bear ings when baseball weather arrives and their games with Wofford and Clemson the last of the week should develop something of unusual interest.
