President Of U. S.
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. He also charged that
money had been used extensively in a
campaigns throughout the state and te

Of Extension Dept.
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
