The Herald and News Entered at the Postoffice at \*ewfcrrjr, S. C., as 2wd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. \ Tuesday, August 12, 1913. THOSE ABLE TO PAY, The Herald and News of Newberry, which is generally sound on matters pertaining to education, advocates the abolition of tuition charges in all State colleges mainly on the ground that "It.is not only an evil, but it offers an inducement to many people to make false statements as to their financial ability in order to save the pitiable tuition that they have to pay for their boy or girl entering college." The editor also advocates the abolition of free scholarships practically for the same reason. We take issue with our contemparary. Those who are able to pay tuition for their children should be made to do so. If, as The Herald and News says, parents make false statements to get their children in Clemson, they perpetrate a serious offense and can be punished for perjury. We have heard the same complaint made at to Winthrop college. It is said that each year many girls are given free tuition at that institution whose parents are abundantly able to pay for it, but who have sworn falsely in order to get the benefit of something like $40 or $50 in the way of free tuition. There is a way to correct this outrage and it should be done at ^ n A- 11 1 ! once, uur recouecuon ui me iaw is that besides the sworn statement of the parent or guardian, the county auditor furnishes a certificate showing j the kind and value of all property j owned by the applicants' parents. But if the present law falls short of cor-1 recting this evil it should be amended $ so as to correct it.?Lancaster Xews. The propostioin here discussed'is to say the least, important, and the matter is badly in need of more equitable regulation. We are not prepared to agree to the amendment of free scholarships, because we consider the principle of especial value as a means of bestowing honor where honor is properly due; but we do not see a great dtal of justice in the practical 1 operation of the free tuition principle 1 under present regulations. General ; disregard of the law that undertakes , to give free tuition only in cases where I' parents are unable to pay, is common, ' and loo'rring at conditions as they exist rather than as we would like to j have them, wo do not see how the sit- i uation could be well straightened out. I ^ The man who pays the most taxes for education is entitled to most of the ! benefits. At least that is the case with ( the average man. He is wrjng, of 1 course; but unhappily there is no ade- i quate method of convincing him, and when it comes to a matter of getting free tuition or anything else free from ; the State, too many people forget all about the moral obligation involved, i The best way around it, we think, is that suggested by The Herald and i News. It might be just a little heavier on the taxpayers; but for all that is lost there, the gain in general selfrespect would be more than sufficient to make it up.?Yorkville Enquirer. I If the Lancaster News would take the trouble to look up the records of Winthrbp and C-lemson colleges, it will find out of th^ seven or eight hundred boys and girls at each insti muon uiat less man one nunareu m each pay tuition. We have not looked into the matter very recently, but we recall very distinctly that a few years ago when tnere wen? ab'mt six hundred girls at Winthrop about 90 jaid tuition and with more than six of OlftmcAw rw* 1 TT o V\ rm + xiuuui^u v\jj o u l. vicaiouu \jlllv auuui 50 paid tuition. With this small number paying tuition, we have been of the opinion that free tuition should be given to them. It shows one or two things; that most of the boys and girls at these two colleges are from families who are unable to pay tuition, or that a great many of them are making the statement required in | order to avoid the payment. In either event, it is significant that it would be better if tuition were made 1 free in all the State institutions. In regard to scholarships, of course, it sometimes happens that they go to young men and women who really need them and without this aid would have some difficulty in securing a college education, but in a great many cases, the ones that need the aid most are the ones that fail in the examinations, and others whose parents are able to pay for the education of their children get the benefit of these scholarships. Our views on this subject, we know, are different from those of a great ;nany.people, but with the small per- centage of boys and girls of South Carolina who can go to college, we take the position that when a State furnishes higher institutions with free tuition it has gone far enough in the j way of higher education and that its j money otherwise appropriated should : be sriven to the common schools, where I more than 95 per cent of the children j[ end their education. And besides that, jj we desire to repeat what we have said a number of times before, that we do not believe there is a boy or girl in South Carolina who is prepared to enter the Freshman class of any firstclass college and has the capacity to take a higher education who could not secure it if he or she was sufficiently interested to obtain it. We understand that the Citadel is j maintained almost entirely by appro- j priations which are made for scholarships and we would not take the appropriations aw.ny from the Citadel, but would require the boys who went there to pay "Mr own living expenses i and give them > je tuition. We notice that Hearst's Sunday American is going to wage a good j roads campaign and will map out a | national highway from coast to coast, j There is no greater work in which j any one could engage than the bnild- j ing of good roads. The first thing to do is to create the good roads spirit among the people and there is no greater agency in this work than the great and the small newspapers of the country. Just keep on hammering the thing into the ears of the readers and after awhile they will get the spirit. Mr. Hearst has the ! monev and can do a great work for j the country in creating the good roads spirit. The coast to coast route is to be entirely southern. It is hoped that the governor will . give us an enthusiastic road builder when he names the new supervisor to succeed Postmaster Hill. This county in all its history never needed good roads like it does today. When we ?et a system to build them there must ] De inaugurated at the same time a system of maintenance. There is no I * ?ood business sense in building a good ' road, such as we had from Newberry :o Prosperity, and then permit it to ?et in the condition this road is to3ay simply caused by neglect. A sys- , tem of maintenance that will cover the entire county is what we need. One of the best and strongest addresses at the conference for the common good last week was thai of President H. X. Snyder, of Wofford college, on "The Majesty of the Law." We want to quote with our endorsement the following sentence from his address: "The stand of the ages is on the majesty of law and it is the corner-stone of all of our liberties. It is impaired by too much special legislation, by too much delay in executing the laws, mandates, and the apparent slowness c,. the courts; in dealing out justice, an apparent feeling that some can get more ol ttie resources of the law than others." The Herald and News has many times called attention to the evil of special legislation and changes of our laws so frequently. Death of 3Irs. Caroline Cook. On the eve of July 7th, 1913, the spirit of Mrs. Caroline Cook was called to a fairer and better land. Mrs. Cook was 81 years 1 month 29 days old, and is survived by three daughters: Mesdames, Sallie Wicker; T. F., and T. P. Wicker; two sons: Messrs. D. B., and E. M. Cook, eleven grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Elvira Kibler and Miss Esther Moore, and many sorrowing friends to mourn her departure. Mrs. Cook will be sadly missed by all who knew her, far to know her was to love her. She is dead, but the impress of her life will long be felt in the community in which she lived. May her children never waver in their determination to meet their sainted mother In Heaven, and let them feel that their irraparable loss is her eternal gain. Mrs. Cook had been in declining health for some time, but she bore it all without a murmur, all that loving hands could do, was done, but the Lord saw fit to call her to a higher and Heavenly home above. We grieve deeply, but not without hope of a happy reunion in a fairer land. She shall no more be with her | ROBINSON | SAYS !
