REORGANIZATION OF
SCHOOLS IN STATE
I
Complete Plan Outlined By Faculty
of State University.?Free Tuition
to Tax Supported Institutions.
News and Courier.
Columbia, Feb. S.?A complete
plan for the reorganization of the
educational system of the* state is contained
in a list of over twenty recommendations,
proposed by the faculty
of the University ol south aronna
for consideration by the educators!
of the state and earlv incorporation
% i
in the laws of the state. The I'niver-,
sity professors have devoted no little'
time to the study of South Carolina's;
needs and shortcomings in educational
lines, the school program now suti:
gested embodying what they see as
the most urgent changes to be con-,
sidered.
Among the suggestions included in
the proposed reorganization plan are:
Adpmiate salaries for teachers, a new
system of assessment and apportion-;
ment of taxes, a revision of the law
creating the state board of education,
amendment of the compulsory attendance
law and free tuition to all citi
zens of the state attending tax supported
schools. The list of suggestions
follows in full:
1. The prime educational need of
the state is a staple and competent
profession of teaching, which can be j
made possible only by the provision.
of adequate salaries. j
2. There should be made this year !
a survey of the educational system1
of the state, including all institutions'
and agencies under the control of the ,
state and such private institutions as j
do not object to such inclusion.
3. A constitutional convention
should be called to construct a new,
sj'stem for the assessment and appor-'
tionment of taxes.
Personnel of Board.
A TVio Qtarn hnnrrl nf l?dllf?ation '
1 1 11^ k'WCtVV \4 V ? ? ^
should consist of the Governor, as
chairman ex-officio, one representative
elected by the presidents of the
state institutions of higher learning.
one by the council of the State
i .
Teachers' association, one by the
Association of County superintendents
and four elected by the General
Assembly from the state at large.
The representative members should
be elected annually. The term of office
of the members elected by the
General Assembly should be four ,
years, the initial term being so arranged
that one vacancy shall occur
each year.
5. The State Superintendent of
"Education should be elected by the
State board of education as its executive
officer and secretary. Professional
qualifications for the office should
be defined. A competent administrative
and supervisory staff should be
elected by the state board on the
~+l->a ctotn cunovirtPTu!.

ent.
G. A state board of examiners
should be appointed by the state
board of education for the examina- (
tion and certification of teachers. |
This board should develop later into
a State board of standardization,!
which, like the New York board of
regents, will standardize not only the
teachers, but also the results ot tneir
work.
7. The county board of education '
should be elected by the qualified t
voters. The initial terms of office
should be so arranged that not more ,
than two vacancies shall occur annu- '
ally in any one year.
8. The county superintendent of J
education should be a professional ex- 1
pert, sought out and selected by the i
county board of education to act as ,
its executive officer. There should be
a competent supervisory staff selected ;
"by the board of education on the nom- j
inaiion of the superintendent.
9. The district boards of trustees
fhov.lii coi.sist of not more than three
t
members elected by the qualified
voters. The initial terms of office |
should be so arranged that net more
than one vacancy shall occur normally
in any one year.
10. The compulsory attendance!
law shouid be so amended that the
term of compulsory attendance in any
district should coincide with the reiru!
lar school term in that district.
The state should make special provision
for those children who. by reason
of physical or mental deficiency
are exempted from the operation of
the compulsory law.
Examination of Teachers.
11. The present plan for the examination
and certification of
teachers should be revised in order to
provide for uniform standards, classification,
and specific academic and

J. Certificates should be issu i b;
the state as a whole through a stat
board of examiners and for .e whoi
state. They should be obtained in tw
ways:
1. By examination. The exami
nation should be conducted by cor
tral board. Besides the exaniinatio
for the general certificates, elemer
tary and secondary, there should b
an examination in cacti sp-sciair/.e
(non-academic) subject.
2. By diploma or credentials. J
college degree should not entitle to
certificate to teach unless the wor

cation. A diploma fulfilling this con
dition should confer the right to

secondary. A certificate to teaeh

(non-academic) subject should b

such credit in that specific subjec
as shall have been determined by th
board.
C. There should be a minimur
salary scale based on the grade of cer
tificates and length of service.
D. The new regulation should no
interfere with any rights that alread.
exist.
12. The state should by pension
insurance, or other approved method
make provision for the old age of it
fparViprs.
13. The state should guarantee
session of four or five months t
every child in the state and, a stat
levy should be imposed sufficient t<
do this. Each county in the stat
should have an additional levy suffi
cient to make it possible for eacl
child in the state a session of six o
coi-nr> nrtnths. The districts thei
should be permitted to levy a ta.
sufficient to provide a session of sucl
length as the local people desire.
14. The consolidation of rura
hijrh schools should be encouraged
Four-year courses of nine month
each should represent the minirr.un
high school preparation for busines
or for college. Where only a three
year high school can be maintained
its course of study should be so ad
justed by the state or county author
ities that a student may contir.u<
them in one of the four-year school
of his county.
15. A central advisory boarc
should bo instituted to consist of
or two representatives of each of th<
existing boards of trustees of 1h<
state institutions of higher education
The function of this board should bi
to consider and advise upon all mat
ters of common interest to the insti
tutions and to correlate ineir wotk.
1G. Free tuition should be offeree
by the state to all citizens in all o:
its tax supported schools?elemen
tary, secondary and collegiate,
i7 Summer schools should bi
maintained at Clemson, Winthrop, thi
University, and the State College a
Orangeburg, to afford teachers an<
others such educational oportunitie
as each of the colleges is peculiarly
equipped'to provide.
18. The state should establish :
librarv commission whose function i
should be to recommend and execut<
legislation tending to promote the es
tablishment' and use of public librarie
throughout the state.
19. There should be a state an*
county organization under the direction
of the State Department of Ed
ucation, for the direction and super

training and the teaching of sanita

20. We favor national aid to ed

and independence of action be sufij
ciently safeguarded.
21. We urge a liberal support b;

thf state of the agencies which i
has established for the eradication o

22. The greatest weakness in til
wcrk of our schools at present is th
lack of thoroughness in the funds

23. It is the duty of the state t
offer so far as possible to every chil
the opportunity of learning: how t
make a living. The welfare of s<
. ciety furthermore demands that 01
schools and colleges give thoroug
instruction in the culture studies ar
pure sciences. W. J. Cormack.
