Rules Governing the South Car olina High School Debating TEACHERS' SCHOLARSHIPS Some of the reasons for maintaining the teachers' scholarships of the University are the following: 1. To give, ti all young men who have not money, an equal chance for an education with those who have: 2. To induce young men to prepare for teaching-a pro fession which is essential to the life of the State, but which of fers insufficient financial in ducements; 3. To raise the average qual ity of the student body by pro viding a nucleus of earnest, hard-working students. 4. The University scholar ships are not gifts; they are more like loans. The law re quires that the receiver of one of these scholarships shall either render service in the school room or repay the amount lent him by the State. South Carolina appropriates $100 annually to one student from each county on condition that he will engage to teach in the public schools for at least two years after pursuing a four years' course in the School of Education at the University. The State does this not to assist the individual, but to attract and train men for its most im portant service. It is an invest ment by the State. Does it pay? The beneficiary receives from the State $400. His four years of professional training will cost him, on a conservative estimate, $2,000. As a public school teacher for two years he receives from the State not more than $2,000. In any oth er field of work requiring simi lar preparation, his earning ca pacity would be twice as much. The record of the graduates of the School of Education af fords a more convincing an swer to our question. An in vestigation made four years ago for the decade 1906-1916, shows that of 106 scholarship students who were graduated during the ten years, 92.40 per cent. taught in the public schools of South Carolina. Since that date 43 have been grad uated, and these maintain the goodl record. With the excep) tion of a few, scholarship grad Have this car with 1 j.onstrated to you. You re * land 4. [ Overland Colu |. R. D. I.AMBI uates have made teaching their permanent profession. Of the men prepared for teaching at the University the school records of 1915 showed that 39 were teaching in rural schools, where the State most needs trained men teachers, and 32 in the high schools, 7 in the colleges of the State, and 8 were strong as county superin tendents. Alumni who are interested in maintaining the efficiency of the University's public service should take an active interest in maintaining the teacher scholarships. To abandon them, as has been proposed, would entail a decided loss, not only to the public school system but also to the University as an institution. These men have contributed much to the life on the campus by their active par ticipation in all serious enter prises. The forty-four scholar ship students are well repre sented annually in athletic, so ciety and collegiate honors. For years they have been noted for earnest and successful work in their studies, and in general constantly exercise a whole some influence. - University Weekly News. Big Threes.
