I
wient in Uogurd to the j o:
Situation. j u<
When Hon. .1. ?). McMahanjd;
entered tin; otlice of state super- ' sc
intendont of education, ho began I
to investigate rumors that the r*
Static was being flooded with map> ri
and charts sol?l at an extravagant tl
price, and in largo quantities. at
Tlu re was one chart in particular
which represented the cost of $.">7.*
50, equivalent to the ordinary j b<
salary of a public school teacher j 1M
for a month and a half. t:i
H W inviwti.mU.... I-- 1 '

write the county boards, urging; si
them to cheek the sale of these hi
charts. ai
As the teachers' associations of ll'
Saluda and Kershaw counties havel
recently adopted resolutions dis-1 w
approving of buying these charts
in such great quantities, Mr. Me-!
Mahan was yesterday approached 02
in regard to the matter. j
In February a communication i
in The State from Yorkville called
attention to the indiscriminate w
purchase of charts in York county, ?'
and that Mr. McMahan in en? w
deavoring to check the sale j
"was after Mr. Maytield." Mr. j c<
McMahan at the time denied that | n<
he was "after Mr. Maviidd," jnl
und stated in a card in The State H1'
that he was trying to prevent Ul
further purchases He has since
been making iiupiiry and coin- c'
piling figures from the several
counties of the State. He said in
his statement, that from the re a>
ports of the county superinten ,rt
deats of education of the majority i 1,1
of the counties of ti e State, and
from incomplete reports appear- "
ing in the last annual report of;"1
the state superintendent of edu- Cl
cation, it appears that between j
$57,000 and $58,000 of public
money has been invested in charts, |w
and like apparatus, chiefly the ,n
mathematical charts sold by \V. |
\V. Tutwiler as manager of the,1'
K. (). Kvans Co., of Chicago. 111
Tl I - ? " . ? v
i lie cnuri sens ror and ?'
consequent1 y cuts oil" at least ul*1
month's teaching in the school in P
which it is purchased.
To indicate the extravagance of
the principle in some counties, it
may ho noted that in Sumter 111
county this item is reported as:
about $4,200; in Florence about, ^
$4 ,000; the proceeds of the throe j
mill tax in the latter county is he- tt'
tweon $10,000 and $11,000. In 1,1
one district in Floredce whore! '
thero wore four schools, the j
county superintendent reports; 1,1
that the total school fund upper- | ol
tioned was $.'380.00, and that of
this $370 was spent for charts, g,
leaving $4.00 to run the schools- jj
In anothor district the expenditure
is reported as oxoeeding the
apportionment. ^
In Horry county where the l<
three mill tax raises something "
between $4,000 and $5,000, the
amount spent for charts according
to the item ia the state superintendent's
annual report 19 orer 1(
$4,000, and it is currently re- {/
oricil to have exceeded $r?,0<>0.
'his is more than was paid for
ie employment of teachers, and
leir schools would have heen
losed hilt for the dispensary
upplementary fund.
The counties that bought, spent
sually about $2,000 for these
liarts, the expenditure ranging
om about $1,000 to $3,000. In
'airfield no permission to canvass
as granted; likewise in Chester,
uperintendent W. I>. Ixnok say*
ig that they had had experience
f "the danger of turning loose
jents upon the school trustees.' '
Mi. McMahan learning of the
timage being done, exerted hiniilf
to stop iurther purchases,
he county board of Vbboville
iported that they were in session
msidering the ipiestion when
icy received his letter of warning
id they refused to permit the
;eius io canvass the county.
Anderson county lias also just
aen reached by the agents, and
amission was refused. In Sparmburg
and Greenville the cane
iss had begun but the expreaons
of the state superintendent
id become known in the county
id the agents had become untie
to sell and abandoned the
ild. In Lancaster permission
as granted after the warning.
Mr. McMalum stated that he
inught the cost of the chart was
stravagantw and that ho was sualined
in this opinion by a nunc
ar of educators. lie had had
sachet s to tell him that the chart
ould do very well in the hands
f a capable teacher hut not otherise.
He stated further that in some
unities the agents had received
> permission to canvass. Whether
r not this would render the conacts
invalid, he could not say,
id the attorney general has not
id expressed an opinion. The
uirts were sold on contracts to
5 made payable upon delivery of
ie goods. These contracts were,
> a rule, negotiated and disunited
imu edtatoly upon their
i;ing accepted.
He was asked if he censured
ie state board of education for
iving the agents permission to
invass the State, lie said that
a felt diflident in regard to passig
judgment upon those who
ere in a measure his superiors
i otlice, but he thought that they
ml acted unwisely in permitting
ie agents to como into the State
id market the chart at such a
rice. 'Hindsight is better than
>resight," and the state board
rooaoiy na<l no idea to what exalt
the charts would find sale.
lie then explained the connecon
of the state hoard with the
mtter. When a concern of thin
ind desires to come into the
Late, it must obtain permission
om the state hoard; then the
*cnts can enter no county with
it, permission from the county
mrd. These grants of pormis011
are not necessarily rocomlendations
nor are they binding
i tlio school trustees.

Colonel Neal certified that 1

said that the Tillman ueco
should appear as an asset of
