Yes it's th national feast day, Thanksgiving', I he origin of Thanksgiving in th State of South Carolina is hiddei amidst a mass of legislative acts an messages from the Governor. As lat as the year 1799 there was 110 dcfinit date set aside for the event, despit the fact that President George Wasli ington issued the first proclamation i 1797. Even after Washington's proclaim tion, there was 110 day set aside ever year for a general Thanksgivinj Washington was tempted by the su< cessful conclusion of the war, tli avoidance of trouble with France, an finally the hope of a way out of tl: financial muddle of the past decade. A careful combing of the Soul Brooker Made Superintenden W. L,. Brooker, an alumnus who f< the past 13 years has been the succcs ful superintendent of the Asheville, I C., schools, has recently resigned froi that position to become superintendci of schools in Ashland, Ky. ( T he Asheville schools have made r< I markable progress under Air. Brool er s leadership. His ability as a schoi man was especially shown by the cap , way in which he made nccessai re-adjustments after 1929. His schoo voluntarily reduced operating cost being the first school system in th; section to do so. While the expense of the Asheville schools were cut abo in half, the efficiency and morale 1 the organization were preserved. "The record of the work which 1 has done here during the past 13 yea 5 testifies to the faithfulness with whu 1 he has performed the duties of the it portant office he has held," said tl Asheville Citizen. t Mr. Brooker received the A. B. d grce from this University in 1897, ai the A. M. degree in 1902. ! Frosh Rating Proves Lowe ; That the psychological achieveme | of the freshmen entering the Univc 1 sity of South Carolina is lower th the average for similar institutions other parts of the country is the co elusion reached by a report recenl compiled by Professor W. C. McC of the school of education faculty. The report shows that although t ? University is low from a national poi of view, it holds about the same gra as other universities and colleges the same rank in South Carolina.

Not even in the advertisements does one find mention of the traditional turkey or the perennial pumpkin. The governors issued proclamations, but they dealt either with payment of debts or with murders.- Of those proclamations not any have not been collected, especially the one upon a subject which seemed to be so unimportant as I hanksgiving. Of course, most of the officials were members of the Church of England, and Thanksgiving was not looked upon with favor by that sect until much later. Now Thanksgiving has come to be one of our great feast days. On this day, scattered families will gather tc from many parts of the country for a id regal feast, and in the churches, the t- ministers will discuss appropriate re themes. And the man who is refc sponsible for this universal observance in is Abraham Lincoln, and the time at i- which it was established was near the i- end of the War Between the States, h and also of the great President's life, y the year 18G4. ^ Betty Horton, and Betty Jane Sava' cool arc planning to attend the Auburn ? game in Birmingham.
