Popular Impression College is Burdened
With Too Much Money Not
Borne Out by Facts.
Columbia, July 28.?A review of
^ - ~ i J;
oemson conege, us nnanciai cuuuition,
its past work and future prospects
are contained in a report made
public today by State Superintendent
of Education John E. Swearingen.
The review will be cf unisiial In'erest
t? the alumni and fne.ias of Clemson.
It follows:
9 The statistical report of Clemson
college for the scholastic year July j
1, 1912, to June 30, 1913, is a thought'
compelling paper, said J. E. Swearingen,
State superintends of Education,
in jNC'if.siiig educational matters
of State wide interest The figures
have an industrial and agricultural
significance in addition to tLeir
or^iinaTirmcjl vnliiP
The popular impression that- the
college is burdened with too much
money is not borne out by the facts.
Expenditures for college work proper
?in the class rooms and on the college
property?amounted to $171,303.47.
Of this sum, $147,6S2.22 was
used for operating expenses, and $23,
711.25 was expended for buildings and
equipment.
The growing demands on the college
for public service and extension
work required an expenditure of $134,4S3.95.
Part of this money comes to
the college under the Morrill, Hatch,
Nelson and Adams acts of congress.
Receints from the United States gov-1
ernment must be expendd on the agricultural
experiment station at the
college. Tne work on this station
cost during the year $33,599.01, while
the branch stations at Summerville
and Florence, together with the public
service work carried on throughout
the State at large, cost $100,8S9.94.
The college cannot maintain a standard
of working efficiency on this
TTio nlont ic vnlnpri at $1,351.- !
Ua^iC. A xx\- ? - x?7- 9
439.82, and necessary repairs and improvements
call for an expenditure of
at least $25,000 a year. This is less
than 2 per cent of the value of the
college property. I do not believe the
farmers and taxpayers will consent
to the slightest deterioration in the |
building and equipment, but will con- j
tinue to deira.nd adequate up-to-date
appliances and instruction.
Officers and Teachers.
Of the 97 o..cers and teachers, 89
are men and 8 are women. Fifty-six
of the men constitute the actual j
teaching corps of the institution, and |
"* -1- -C 4-V.^ AIOp? vAnm -n-nrl- I
nave cuaigv ui Luc <_ia.oo luvrn vi?
for the 834 cadets and other students.
The report shows that each instructor
has charge of an average of 15 students.
Though this average seems
low, it compares favorably with other
colleges in the State. Some members
on the staff of the experimnt station
also do a little teaching, while several
of the professors are likewise engaged
iroinahio rpcparrh wnrk SUDDlemen- I
tal to their class room duties.
Of the total enrolment of 834 students,
678 were in college classes;
70 in preparatory classes; 59 in tht
one-year agricultural course; 12 in
the work-day course, and 15 in tie
four-weeks' course, fey dividing the
total enrolment into the actual operating
expenses of the college plant,
anyone can readily se tnat me per
capita expenditure for the session
was $177.07 for each student.
The Preparatory Class.
This preparatory class represents
almost 10 per cent of the student
"body. The subjects taught in this
class correspond to 7th and 8th grade
work of the public school. This same
ground should be covered in every
rural high school as well as in every
rural graded school employing three
teachers. In fact this grade of work
can be done in many schools having
only two teachers. The rules of the
college discourage the attendance of
these unprepared boys by refusing to
admit students who can be given pre*
j.?- ? ;?> tViai-p hr?mp
paraiory mmiiug m
school. The enforcement of this rule
at Clemson, however, as in all other
colleges in the State, is extremely lax.
Since freshman requirements at
Clmson are based on the completion
of 9th grade work, I believe it would
be better for the college and for the
public schools of the State if this preparatory
class were discontinued.
Less than 10 per cent of our boys
ever enter college. "With State institutions
doing high school work, and
even elementary school work, is it
possible for public school officers to
build up adequate community schoolsj
for the large majority of boys whose
training ends with the home school?
The Agricultural Course.
On the other hand, the one-year
agricultural course, offered only to
students above IS years of age, has
already proved its usefulness. Over
i>0 per cent of the student body c~\

these pursued the four-year agricultural
course. The majority of these
graduates do not return to the farm,
because They are in demand as teachers,

The University of Wisconsin and
the University of Missouri have done
more for the farmers of these States
in their short courses than any other
institutions of the country. This beginning
at Clemson emphasizes the
purpose of the trustees and the president
to relate the college more
closely to the fundamental needs of
our people. Any farm lad unable to

here given a chance, not only to go
to college himself, but to take father

The Fertilizer Tax.

ed $231,500. Though this is $10,000
above collection for last year, it
shows a falling off of nearly $35,000
from the highwater mark reached in
1910-11. While the college is growing
on the campus and increasing its
lines of public service off the campus,
its chief source of revenue appears to
be diminishing. The total receipts
from all ,sources aggregated $318,
494.17, and the total expenditures, j
$305,882.42, leaving a balance of $12,-'
611.75. This narrow margin of cash 1
will hardly permit the authorities to
carry on their field work during the
summer, and to make necessary repairs
and additions without embarrassment.
Since the operating expenses for j
instruction and administration in the
collegiate department amounted to!

This trifling sum suggests the advis

for any State college, it calls
attention to an evil common to them
