STATE SCHOOL STATISTICS. The Average Enrolment, Attendanc and Number of Pupils to School. Many interesting and valuable factE of the educational life of the State ih contained in the synopsis of sum maries, prepared by State Superin tendent of Education Swearingen, re lative to the schools of South Caro lina. A study of the same is of in terest. The value of school houses anc grounds is $3,547,741.63, divided as follows': White, $3,109,028.55; negro $438,713.08. The value of school equipment is: White, $315,318.38; negro, $65,414.13, making a total oJ $389,732.51. It will be no-iced from the follow ing figures that the enrolment oi whites exceeds the negroes in thE towns, but that in the country and State the negroes are in a majority. White Enrolm-ent-Town: Boys, 31, 170; girls, 32,421. Total, 63,591. Country: Boys, 49,176; girls, 48,063. Total, 07,239. State: Boys, 80,346; girls, 80,484. - Total, 160,S30.

The average attendance is: Average Attendance. White Town: Boys, 21,820; girls, 24,336. To tal, 46,155. Country: Boys, 30,192; girls, 31,006. Total, 61,198. State: Boys, 52,012; girls, 55,341.

It will appear from the followin. figures that the average number o: negroes to a school is much largei than the average number of whites: Average number of pupils to school: White 60, negro 80. Average numbei of pupils to teacher: White 38, negrc 70. It will probably be surprising tc note the smallness of the average paid the. teachers, the averages for whites being: Men $562.13, women $290.02 while the salaries for negro teachers average, men $132.73, women $98.38. The average expenditure per pupil for both races is $5.96, divided, whites $12.62, negroes $1.71. The total school revenues are $2,517,091.09 and the ex penditures, white $1,818,678.81, negrc $319,834.60, making a total of $2,168, 543.41. The total balance on hand July 1, 1911, was $348,577.61. The av'erage length of the school terms follow: Average Weeks' Session-White, town 32, country 23, State 24. Negro, town 22, country 13, State 14.. The following figures are of inter est: Number of districts in State, 1, 931; number of districts levying spe cial tax, 927; number of districts not levying special tax, 974; number of districts voting or increasing levy during the year, 223; districts with outstanding school bonds, 115; amount of outstanding school bonds, $1,316,937.48.

GIRLS' COLLEGE FOR LUTTHERANS, Board Decided to Establish New Insti tation-To Open Next Septem ber. Columbia State, 30th. The Lutheran synods of South Caro lina and Tennessee will establish a ( college for girls in South Carolina This was the decision reached yester day, when a committee appointed ir November, met in Columbia to discuss the matter. The committee is compos ead- n:r. E. J. Etheridge, chairman Leesville; C. M. Efird, Lexington; J. Cromer, Lexington; C. P. Boozer, Lee ville; S. P. Koon, Prosperity. TI committee will meet in Columbia aga on February 1, to open bids from citi desiring the college and at that tin it will be definitely announced, whe the institution will be located. The Lutheran church is one of tl few which has not a denomination school for girls in this State, and .t establishment of the new college w! fill a long felt want. At a joint co. ference of the South Carolina- ai I Tennessee synods, held in Novembe it was decided to appoint the commi tee, which met here yesterday, with I view to looking into the advisabili of establishing a college for girls ai to make a decision. The location will be decided at meeting held here on February Bids will be received from all tow in this State desiring to be considere and the one offering the best alrour inducements will be accepted. Alrea' several Sout Qarolina cities hai their eye on the new intsitution i learning and will wage active car paigns to land the location. Columbi Newberry, Spartanburg, Batesburg ai Lexington will Pertainly make a gra try, and no doubt other,cities will bi About $75,000 will be the amoui expended for buildings to .begin wit and .possibly more. It is the idea : the committee to push the plan and be ready for work next Septembe That the idea, to start then, will m terialize, seems entirely probable fro: the interest being shown' and the col tributions being made. Dr. E. J. EtheriWge, chairman of t1 committee, said yesterclAy that - t1 school would compare with any in tl State. He felt much encouraged wii the interest being shown. The Lutheran seminary is locat( in Columbia as is the Lutheran Pu lication Board's office. The Luthe an Church Visitor is published her Columbia would therefore be very advantageous place for the loc I tion of the new school.
