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!. I1UII1 llict ILKJH VI lilt 1WW..V. 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 * ^ 1T7_ 'U protessionai qualifications. v? e suurait the following propositions as a basis for revision: A. There should be a differentiation certificates.

Specialized certificates irivin; license to each the non-academic sub jects. such us music, drawing, mar.u:! training and vocational subjects. 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.

A diploma fulfilling this con dition should confer the right to general certificate, elementary o secondary.

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 " ? 1 : vision of medical inspection, pn.vsica training and the teaching of sanita tion and hygiene. 20. We favor national aid to ed ucation provided that state contro 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 adult illiteracy. 22. The greatest weakness in til wcrk of our schools at present is th lack of thoroughness in the funds mental studies, especially the roac f -1 inir and writing ui uiu mnuici iui^u-. 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. Laughing Matter. From London Tit-Bits.
