TEACHERS' EXAMS.
TO BE HaD SOON
Columbia, April 16.?The State
Board of Examiners for Teachers is
glad to announce that the task of converting
all outstanding teachers' certificates
into South Carolina State
licenses is about llnishcd. This work
was made necessary by the 1920 Act
r.orriaifitupo crontlnp th>> Roard.
of Examiners for teachers.
The members of this board are:
Prof. H. B. Dominick, fornter supf
erintendent of the Greer schools; Miss
Elizabeth McLean, of Sumter City
school; and Joseph II. Shealy. registrar
of the Teachers' Bureau.
The board began the active duties
of thq, office June 21st and after plans
were formulated. ~ certificate forms
designed and procured, the work ot
issuing certificates began September
6 th. ,
The task of certificating over nine ,
thousand teachers has occupied the
entire time of all the members of the
Board_ since the first of September, .
and for five months approximately '
eleven hours of work-per day were
necessary for converting certificates;
and correcting examination papers, j
The board endeavored to dispatch >
the duties of the office with as little I
delay as possible and wishes to ex- j
1 press its appreciation to the teachers,!
county superintendents, and school !
folk in general for the patience exorcised
and support given in this work.
Through the medium of the State
Hoard of Hxaminers, a profitable and
jiecded service can be rendered the
.State. The teaching profession is one
of the greatest which should claim |
the atetntlon of our people, and the
teachers should he classified so that
the deserving may l>e encouraged to
? better service and those who ' arc
J
poorly prepared assisted to better
preparation. Tito state has provided
assistance for the needy schools and
j the people have responded nobly to
the demand for better salaries for
teachers, and now the public lias a
right to expect better service. The
#!,rst grad?' certificate has been heretofore
an indefinite quantity as to a
teacher's fitness to teach school and
j it Is the purpose of this Board to issue
certificates such as will carry 1
with them some idea of the teacher's
preparation for serving the public and
to encouni^i- professional ailvuiicimcnt.
The compilation of tin- records in
the olllce reveals some very encour- '

The following: regulation for the
renewal of certificates has been
adopted by the Stato Board of Education:
"
1
"Any outstanding llrst-grado State
certllicute may be renewed upon presentation
to the State Board of Examiners
of one year's successful and acceptable
classroom experience by the
holder during the term covered by
such certificate, with his or her request
for the renewal of a llrst-grade
certificate, together with a written
endorsement from the county superintendent.or
efty superintendent, and
from the board of district trustees.
A second-grade certificate is renew
ante oniy upon me presentation ui a
record of successful and satisfactory
summer school work. A third-grade
certificate shall not he renewed."
Teachers now holding permits
grunted at the request of the county
superintendent must take the regular
examination required of all applicants,
if they expect to teach during
the session 1921-1922. Outstanding
permits are not renewable nor transferable
and under no circumstances
shall a second permit be-issued to an^
teacher.
WHY SEND MILK TO ITALiYV
i
There seems tp be a very general
impression that the Italian babies are
cared for by the Central I^uropean
Relief. This, however, is not the
case, as Mr. Hoover has himself emphatically
stated. The Central European
Relief, as its name indicates,
cr.res for the children of Central Europe?Poland,
Austria, Hungary and
adjacent states. 3,000,000 children of
these countries have been rescued
this winter, but Italy too, ne<*ds help
and wo must give both of our sympathy
and our substance to her in this
her hour of need.
The question is often asked?"But
why is Italy not able to take care of
her children?" Under ordinary circumstances.
Italy could take care of
her children?but the circumstances
are extraordinary.
In Italy today a nillk famine exists
?duo to the fact that many cattle
had to be sacrificed the last year of
the war to feed the army. Letter the
dread mouth and hoof disease broke
out and swept the country of the remaining
milk-giving animals. This
has left them with no native milk
Four years of devastating war had
left# the nation with enormous war
debts, a depreciated currency anil
groat scarcity of the necessaries oi
life. As the currency went down,
the cost of living went up, and foi
the. poor the conditions of existcnei
became almost unbearable. Food*
were so high and so scarce'that in November
last the fSovernment found
il necessary again to issue food cards
?more stringent than during tin
war, and much of Italy's unrest-has
been due to the food situation.
I'tuler these conditions, the Italian
mother, herself undernourished, has
not been able to nourish her baby?
as formerly she was abundantly able
to do?and in Italy the unprecedented
has happened?Italian mothers have
had to feed their babies artificially,
The artificial feeding of a baby is
not the best way, but it csin be successfully
done if good milk is available.
but without milk it becomes a
question which scientists have not yet
been able to solve. There is no substitute
for mill;?and the baby undev
one year, deprived of it, cannot live.
The little child over one year may
live iuii imcomcs an easy prey to
rickets. anaemia and tuberculosis?
the hunger diseases?and with these

the hospitals are filled.
Three hundred baby hospitals and
institutions for children in Italy are
now being supplied with milk by the
American, ih-ee Milk Fund, and
ifiruu&u aim uuspunsurics una itiiik uistributing
centers 100,000 babies have
been rescued, but many provinces
have not yet been reached, for the
relief can go only as far as the milk
goes. The institutions already established
must be maintained and the
work can bo extended only through
larger shipments of milk.
The situation in Italy is briefly this:
The people are burdened with tremendous
taxation necessary to pay
their war debts and the currency so
depreciated in consequence that they
cannot buy from us with the ruinous
exchange now existing. Few people
here realize that the Italian lira,
which used to be equal to 20 cents in
our money, is now worth only 3 1-2
cents. Five dollars used to be the
equivalent of 25 lire. Now it takes
nearly 100 lire to purchase five dollars
worth of American goods.
The milk that we are sending over
costs us here, wholesale 11 rents a
quart, but if it is sold to the poor
. Italian, he must nnv nonvlv fifi rnnta
a quart for it in Italy.
Can Italian babies be properly fed
with our milk if we sell it to them?
Italy's suffering babies are the victims
of war?they are reaping: the results
of Italy's great sacrifice in "the
cause" which was "Our Cause." Italy
was our friend and ally. Shall we be
I
content to offer her no sympathy, no
aid? A cup of milk is all that is asked
in her name?that her babies?the
future hope of the nation?may not
be dwarfed and stunted as a result
of malnutrition.

small, to Miss Jane 11. Evans, Florence,

THE I'AUM ftOI SKWlI K *
I Schools and colleges are beginning
j to pay more attention to vocational
j guidance and very properly so. The
student body of AVinthrop has many
more vocations front which to choose
than were offered to women a few
years ago, and there is no ofceasion for
being bound by the traditional in the
selection of a vocation.
However, in the midst of the discussions
of suitable vocations for colj
lege women, v.t believe the Vocation
j of housewife will appear in the substrata
of consciousness of the average
?
j women now and then. A western
writer thinks that the census enumerators
might improve their questionnaires
by ceasing to list the housoj
wife as "Xn occupation."
j The* l'ollwoing listing of work of
the average farmer's wife is interest|

Total $4,004
This listing: .of the earnings of the
average farmer's wife was made by
Miss Fedde, head of home economies
department, college of agriculture.
The main point with Miss Fedde was
to show the hardship in the life of
the average farmer's wife?much of
which is unnecessary. A government
study showed that 61 per cent of women
carry water on an average of 30
feet; between 90 and 100 per cent, do
their own, baking, washing and sew
ing; 24 per cent .work, in ihe fields;
and more than 80 per cent care for
poultry.
The lightening of the burdens of
the farm home is one of the most
pressing of rural problems and here
is a good opening for college women
to lead the way and require the
introduction of improvements before
consenting to bike t'V vocation of 11
farm housewife.
AJss. Vedde's figures are somewhat
extravngant, since it is not customary
to pay full wage for full time
without exacting the time, so some
modifications are needed. However,
it is easy to show that the housewife
earns a very respectable salary
and that in some way more cognizance 1
must be taken of this important voca-J
tion.
