INTO P'RTY MEETING " I y-j j Edwards Gets Ovation?To Take j p Prohibition Issue Into National j-j | Democratic Convention at San O ; Francisco. ! l'\ 'n; New ^ ork, Feb. 5.?Prohibition e and the Sims-Daniels controversy e were injected tonight into the lestie monial dinner sriven here to Homer S. I Cummingrs, chairman of tlie Demoi cratic national committee, at which | Secretary Daniels was the principal r n'speaker. One thousand invitations > had been issued to the banquet, which t_ was attended by prominent Demoa crats from all parts of the country. e | The prohibition issue was brought : into the proceedings cy vruvcmwt [. Edwards, of New Jersey, and Smith , of New York, and was greeted with obviously mingled feelings by the q diners. Governor Edwards was not I on the official list of speakers and e was called upon unexpectedly after 0- Secretary Dnniels had concluded his e address. Earlier in the evening the r New Jersey Executive had been given e a striking ovation when he entered the dining hall and there was an even (greater demonstration when he arose (to speak. 1 [- | Personal Liberty, s i Governor Edwards declared that a 1- i great issue had emerged from the h past, "the issue of State rights and s personal liberty." He asserted that A *?

Under such a _ system the indestructible union of ina destructible states becomes a myth ,j and we have the necessary alternative j] of a great super-power at Washing.] ton, imposing its will upon us in the e direction of our habits, our manners, 0 our tastes and our loc-.l customs, until nothing is left of the independent state of our fathers but the name. ; Carry Fight to 'Frisco. "To me this situation is a political >_ sacrilege and I propose to carry the c. ficht to San Francisco regardless of n what any man or set of men may perx sor.aliy think, so as to bring about a popular restatement of the doctrine of state rights and popular locsl home rule upon which our fathers lounaeu e this government." Governor Smith's contribution to >r the prohibition issue was contained in c a telegram expressing his regret that r illness prevented him being present. i_ In his telegram the New York execu). tive said: ' a ! "Do not forget the time-honored ?- Democratic doctrine that the governo ?v,,Acf which froverns ? IIIfllL ilivi-'v i-iivwvi . ?_ the least. This precept of Democratic : faith in the recent past has been previously and wilfully sinned against d when, in the name of Democracy, ?- there was imposed upon 100,000,000 :t free people, without asking their di r rect consent, a restriction to their personal liberty which Prussia in her a palmiest days never dreamed of." i .V ; Sims' Name Introduced. i The name of Admiral ims was introduced by John M. Riehle, the : toastmaster, at the conclusion of; )- Secretary Daniels' address. The j e secretary had dwelt upon the great j o service performed by the North Sea i y mine barrage in putting an end toj ts the German submarine menace, and j n ! incidentally credited President W;l-1 ! | )-jSon with being the first high An*?*i-i j can official to conceive the idea.

SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS SHOWN BY INVESTIGATION Columbia, Feb. 4.?A shortage of teachers in the* public schorls ??f South Carolina amounting to 11.Co per cent of the teaching1 force, the employment of a large number of teachers below standard and a large number of teachers under twenty-one years of age, made necessary by the failure of teachers' pay to keep up with the cost of living, is shown in a leport made by the Xational Educa tion Association of an in vest! nation J # * conducted by that organization into the teacher situation in South Carolina anil throughout the nation. A "very serious situation" is shown in the report of the investigation in South Carolina, copy of which has u:.? fl,? DC en ecoveu in v Uim:iu;a ; ivuii cuv Washington offices of the National Education association. The report of the investigation shows not only a present shortage of teachers but ilr.it teachers throughout the country are leaving: the profession and that promising: young men and women are not being attracted to teaching: as in the past. The same conditions that are shown fc?* South Carolina are shown, in varying degrees, for the entire nation. <kIt is very noticeable," says the report, "that in those states where sal aries are highest, conditions are best, and where salaries are lowest the conditions are most serious.*' The shortape of teachers in South Carolina is shown to be much greater than the shortage for the entire nation, though the percentage of teachers who left .-Inviinr 1 Q1 0 ?C Cr*1YIA_ CIIC [JiyifOOJUll UUlUiC, JLV A?/ WV..-W what larger than the percentage which left the profession in South Carolina during the year. The information contained in the National Educational association report of its investigation was received frnm state and countv superinten dents. The percentage of teachers who dropped out of the profession in South Carolina last year was 20.21. New teachers entered the work to the number of twenty-eight per cent, the increase being made up largely of young people below standard and under twenty-one years of age. 'TVm frtfol rrf tpnchprR "for I X 11^/ WVtUi CiiVi VM^v V 4k ^ ? I last year was found by the investiga- j tion to be 11.63 per cent for this j state, as compared with 5.68 per cent j of the entire country. The percent-j ajje of teachers below standard forj last year was IS.8.'$ in South Caro- i lina as compared with 9.82 per cent ? ontiio fnnntrr inrvrtf? 1UI tui V 1 i w 1 ^ VWM..V. J. ? that the standard of the teaching pro- J fession h lower in South Carolina than the average for the entire ra-1 tion. The total shortage of teachers i who are up to standard in South j Carolina was found to be 30.47, as! compared with 15 per cent for the i nation. i The National Education association received reports in its investl-ration from fourteen superintendents. Twelve of these reported that it was necessary in 1010 to accept lower qualifications in ore or to supply teachers. For the entire nation the ratio of lowering standard was almost as great. Thirteen cf the superintendents reported that teachers' salaries have riot kept pace with salaries in other Iir.es of work nor with the advance in the cost of living. Similar conditions were found to exist everywhere in America. About half the reports received from superintendents of this state and also of the entire country reported that the number of teachers below the age of twentyone is on the increase. Practically all the reports showed that young men and women of promise are turning to other work than of teaching. "The relation of public education to the welfare of the state and the nation, says the report from the National Education association, "as well as to the individual, is so important that statesmen everywhere are taking; a deep interest in problems relating: to the public schools.'' The Rev. D. P. Shumpert Dies. Lexington, Feb. 5.?The Rev. D. P.
