' State Cannot Legally Lend Money to
Students to Obtain Education.
Greenwood Index-Journal.
Mr. C. C. Featherstone raises the
point that Governor Cooper's proposal
to have the state of South Caro1??\A

men and women to defray their college
expenses, these loans to be repaid
when the recipients complete
their education and get to work, is in
direct opposition to Article II, Section
nine to the state constituion.
The sate newspaper has referred to
this same section of the constitution
as an insuperable barrier to the governor's
recommendation.
In commenting on the governor's
message Wednesday, we referred to
this recomendation and stated that
we doubted thew isdom or practicability
of so radical a step.
Mr. Featherstdne's statement with
regard to the constitutional issues involved
make it clear that no such
thing can be done and that Governor
Cooper wili so find it if the ' recomdation
should be accepted and then
liave to be passed upon by the courts I
as it surely would have to. do.
We believe the constitutional inhi
diuon is wise. ,pv?sii siiuuiu we nave
a constitutional convention to give"
' us a new constitution we believe
this same Article 11, section nine
should be included in it.
It may be well to abolish, all free
scholarships in state colleges and provide
that tuition may be secured as a
loan to needy and deserving young
men and women, but to embark in the
business of lending the state's money
to young men and young women to attend
whatever college they prefer
would in our opinion bring about all
sorts of trouble.

Mr. C. C. Featherstone Points Out
Section Providing Against Loans
to Church Schools.
To the Index-Journal.
v
I have always thought that Governor
Cooper's suggestion as to a scholarship
loan fund was a good one?you
will recall that he advocated this in
his campaign.
The trouble about it is that in all
probability such a loan would not
stand the test of the constitution.
Article 2, Section 9 of the constitution
is as follows: "The property or
^credit of the state of South Carolina,
wt or any city, town, township, school

Of course no ordinary lawyer (or
extra ordinary one, for that matter)
Ior any person, or*set of persons, could
possibly tell what the courts might
/
hold in reference to this question. But
it would seem that framers of the constitution
had in mind that church colleges
should never, under any circumsances,
or in any manner receive any
aid from state funds.
Of course,, it might he said that tne
aid in the way of loans is given to individuals.
but such loans would be
"indirectly" at least in aid 01' church
inst'tu lions.
Cleany, T think, the spirit, of the
constitution is opposed to the loan
fund idea. Such loan fund scholarship
would certainly tend "directly or

indircctlv ' to aid of the cc lieges.
