Jf Throughout his address President Wilson was cheered frequently by the . ? people immediately-sn front of the stard. who could hear him. The applause was particularly emphatic when President Wilson declared: $ "The scales of heedlessness have fallen from our eyes. We have made .up our minds to square every process of our national life again with the standards we so proudly set up at the beginning and have always carried at our hearts. Our work is a work of ? yy resujrauuu. When congratulations were over, the justic-es of the supreme court, members of the retiring and incoming cabinets and others shaking the hands of the new chief magistrate, he was ushered to the carriage in front of the stand. Mr. Taft followed him into the carriage. His smile, had not worn off and it raiated over the crowd as the new president doffed his hat to the populace when the procession started. DR. MITCHELL EXONERATED. Legislative Investigation Committee .Hakes Report of Findings to House Saturday. The committee appointed to investigate the charges made against Dr. S? C. Mitchell, president of the University of South Carolina, by the gov ernor in his inaugural address, made its report Saturday morning in which it completely exonerated Dr. Mitchell. The report says: 'We do not find from the testimony that Dr. Mitchell, the president of the University of South Carolina, signed an agreement bv which ary money of the Peabody fund, that had theretofore been designated " --11 1 A to be given to wmmrop cuucge buuuhi be transferred from Winthrop and be given to the University of South Carolina and negro schools.

The house adoptcu the majority report of the committee, which was signed by Senators F. H. Weston and Macbeth Young and Representatives Nicholson and Welch. The full text of the report follows: rue Keporu The committee appointed pursuant to house resolution No. 100 begs leave to report as follows: The matter to be investigated is contained in the preamble of the resolution, which is as follows: "Whereas, his excellency, the gov ernor, in his inaugural address, stated that hi had been informed that the president of the South Carolina university had signed an agreement by which certain money of the Peabody fund, which theretofore had been designated to b?e given to Winthrop college, should be transferred to the South Carolina university and to negro schools." IJDon this matter as thus referred to the committee, Dr. D. B. Johnson, Dr. S. C. Mitchell, Dr. Wickliffe Rose, exGovernor M. F. Ansel, Governor C. L.

In this the governor was, therefore, misinformed. It T?^n Vinwovor that the governor W d?y wv.n? iiv *1 V f V* , called this matter to the attention of t the general assembly, and urged this investigation, for in so doing he has caused the whole matter to be fully, and, we hope satisfactorily, cleared up. We, however, find that Dr. Mitchell on the 16th of April, 1909, along with !i ? oher n?s o; o.uiti.eru uni' C. (lull lOUl Ot OtilCI ic.ioois of education, sig..ed and delivered to the trustees ol the Peabody fund a writt 11 statement setting forth titeir v.cws as to how ihis fund should ultimately be distributed, the question and mode of a final distribution having been already taken up for determination by the trustees. This paper is as folfows: "To the Trustees of the P-abody education Fund: ; "At a meeting held in Atlanta, Ga., on liie Ibth of April, ly09, there were , present representatives of -eight South ern States. At the meeting there were six presidents and four heads of schools of education. jiecsl High Schools. "It was the unanimous belief q>f i those present that there is no greater want in the field of Southern educal tion than the need for high school t'flp.hf>rs. Wp could Droduce statistics and other evidence to establish this proposition, but we belike the facts are already known to you. It is quite true, and we believe that it is quite evident, that this n ed will continue, though we trust that adequate provisions will be made to supply this demand after some years. "In every one of the universities represented a b'ginning has been made to supply this need. Those be ginning, in spite of the very meagre suppoi. v:hich the universities have been able to supply, are ful cf promise. It was apparent from the interchange of opinions that the specific conditions and needs of the several universities varied, and on this account we do not present in detail a nlan for expenditure. "It is our opinion that the widest and most permanent good will be accomplished by encouraging the school of education in the several States. | To Supply Teachers. "We believe that the school of education in the State university is the natural medium through which this n-eed of high school teachers should be supplied, and we feel assured that it is the most economical method of meeting the demand. Separate teachers' colleges we consider entire^ beyond the ability of the States. The excellent normal schools supply a training inefficient in extent, and in some cases do not even admit male stud-ents to registration. "We believe^ that the young man trained in the State university and having taken a course in its school of *?*lucation is best prepared to serve 3 State as a high school teacher. "If, as we confidently believe, the need of high school teachers is urgent and a school of education in the State university is the best and most suitable method of supplying this need, we most earnestly request that your honorable body donate $100,000 to each State university in those States heretofore participating in this fund, for the training of white teachers, and the remainder for the training of negro teachers in the same States." "The use of the Poabodv fund up to this time leaves its record of beneficence in the well established system ol' normal schools throughout South, and this proposition, if accepted by ' you, will widen and perpetuate this beneficient influence."

We find that tile part of this paper tvmt pf^nmtnpuHpd that the remainder of the fund, alter giving $100,000 to cach of the Southern universities,% be given to the training of negro teacners in the Southern States, was in view of the terms of the Peabody trust," which co t mpiated that in the use and distribution of this fund the negroes of the South should be kept in mind and eiven a nart thereof. In all of the communications from the Peabody ' board to Southern educators, with reference to the use and final distribution of this fund, it was always made clear that the negroes of the South would receive a share of this fund in accordance with the terms of the trust j f V? thic nonor we 1111U luai 1.1JW pan VI lino that recommended that $100,000 be' given to each of the Southern university s '-vps in line with the thought on iVii^ onHi.a/>t htifrinninc ac: far back as CiXAO ? 1906, the difference between the policy of the trustees as finally adopted and the papers, as submited by the Southern educators, being that the . latter named $100,000 as the amount 10 l:o giv-'n to cmcIi of t':<i So;:; hern universities, while the trustees only gave $40,000 to some of them, and $fj.000 to the others. Und r the recommendation as contained in this paper, the negroes cf the South would have recived less than they did actually receive in their final distribution of the Peabody fund. Wintlirop (jot $90,000. We find that in the ultimate distri-, bution of the Peabody fund, which oc- : j curred in November, 1911, Winthrop , college received $90,0o0 and the Uni versity of South Carolina $6,000, while j in the other Southern States the universities received $40,000, except the : Ui:iveisities of Texas, Missouri and : Johns Hopkins, which received $6,000 ' each. The negroes of the South re- ; ceived the sum of $350,000 and the i balance of the fund was given to the ! Peabody Normal college at Nashville, j Tenn., this latter school receiving in | all $1,500,000, of which $1,000,000 had ?' been received before the final distrl- j bution was made. The other colleges! of the South similar to Winthrop re- ! ceived nothing in the final distribu-; tion of this fund. The testimony before us did not; show that Winthrop college received j less by reason of the i-aper submitter j to the Peabody trustees by f.ne South-: - J -- nnV? ,-v ?-? > /vi H f- r,fxin I J 1 tjrii euucaiui 5. 1 juc v/uuuuuic^ 1.two that while it is to be regretted that Winthrop college was not r-emember-; ed in the final distribution of the Pea-! body fund as Dr. Johnson had had reasonable ground to expect, still we think that the Peabody trustees were alone responsible for this fact.
