Young men of South Carolina should know their state's past his tory to be able to cope with the pres ent day political problems, declared V( Cole L. lease to members of the b: Euphradian and Clariosophic Liter ary Societies in joint session Tues day night in the Euphradian Hall. B "No real history of our state has T been writtten since the administration ti of Hampton," said the ex-governor. h "Too many people write his-story, y and not history. A historian tells the truth, giving credit where credit sI is due, and writes facts, not his m opinions," said Blease. Ex-governor Blease, a veteran of h many political campaigns, is one of South Carolina's best-known states men. Originally from Newberry, le "Coley," as he is known by his many D supporters, is now a prominent Co lumbia lawyer. Blease advised the young men of P( the fuiure to divide on issues, not le men. He said that politics could, P and should, become a career in which te a man might'really serve his state and nation if the young people of today would take an active part in le the reorganization of the present Democratic parties. Blease predicted that the next presi dent of the United States would be n' elected by bought votes, and that th negroes would play a large part in t his election.

The University's new program of extension service to teachers and schools throughout the state is meet ing with enthusiastic response, W. H. Ward, director reported this week." Mr. Ward reported that the ser vices of Dr. Ellison M. Smith, ex tension professor of elementary ed ucation who is retained by the Uni versity to assist schools in the study and development of their elementary curricula, had been contracted for un til the middle of next spring. In addition, more than 250 teachers are now enrolled in extension classes conducted by the University, for which regular college and certificate work is given. This work is con ducted, for the most 'art, by Dr. Fred W. Alexander, extension professor of education. Doctor Smith holds several con ferences each week with teachers and trustees to assist them in studying and planning ddlvelopment of the edu cational programs in their respective communities. So great has been the demand for his services that the' time Doctor Smith has avaliable for this purpose is filled up far in advance and it has been necessary to post pone compliance with many requests.. Extension classes for teachers now 1 are actively in progress at Florence J and Lake City, and many more classes will be established in the future.4 These classes cover a number of vary ing educational fields. Teachers can take as many as four credits of work, d sufficient for renewal of teachers' cer- P tificates. 0l (C6ntinued on Page Six) ir --. 3. 0.--s Canteen Offerso Bikes For Rent , Fifty bicycles have been obta&ned by the canteen for rental service to ti students, it was announced this week o by F.
