t_ was attended by prominent Demoa

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

(to speak. 1

"To me this situation is a political

popular restatement of the doctrine
of state rights and popular locsl home

Governor Smith's contribution to

c a telegram expressing his regret that

a palmiest days never dreamed of." i

by John M. Riehle, the

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

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. Shumpert, one of the oldest and
and most highly respected citizens of
the Boiling Springs section of this
county, died at his home yesterday
afternoon, having reached the advanced
age of eighty-five years. Mr.
Shumpert had been connected with
-* " ? -e? ? ??rv,V.oT.
i the Mecnoaist ministry iui a uuiiiuv^
| of years. He was an ex-Confederate
; soldier, having fought throughout the
I period of the late War Between the
1 States, and was held in the highest
esteem by all who knew him.
The burial will be held on Friday
afternoon.
The deceased leaves a large family
connection in this countv.
