' President f ,A, E. "Winship .editor of The Jour-f nal of Education, published in Bos- j ;ton, Mass., in discussing the educa-j tional status of South Carolina, pays a high tribute to the state and to "Winthro^ college. The article .under the title, "Looking About," follows: It is highly important that every .state in the Union be estimated educationally in view of its relative conditions. In no case is this more important than in an estimate of South Carolina. It is an outrage to put South Carolina into any list with .other states on any basis of financial support of schools. It is as unfair as to judge a Hereford on a dairy record. South Carolina is ^hy in great natural resources of mines, forests, rich \ grazing areas; in accessibility of mountain scenery; in inland fish, in lakes and streams; in seashbre resorts of beach, boating and yachting to attract young women with physical charge and old men with millions all of which would make easy tax money. South Carolina lacks great east and west railroad systems to create centers of railroad managers and railroad shops. This also makes unusually large areas in the mountains and shore plains shut off from progressive industries and modern social and civic movements. aouui c-arunna is uisunuuveiy an agricultural state but largely of one crop agriculture, and a crop with uncontrollable pest liability and soil exhausting features and slight opportunity to profit by crop rotation * Tragically the price of her crop is determined by conditions over which she has no control. South Carolina's undue proportion of negro population has no important redeeming feature in her educational functioning. It must never be overlooked in any estimate of South Carolina's financial situation that Savannah,, Augusta, and Atlanta, Charlotte and Wilmington are enriching themselves from South Carolina's trade r and industries while she has nothing to reciprocate by benefiting from other states. Against these odds the pluckiest people in the New World are waging a winning campaign. In no state is there a higher social standard or a ^better civic spirit. In no state is the 'teaching force from homes of higher -culture, and nowhere do teacher training institutions and the state and city departments of education do more to serve the homes of the people than in South Carolina. Nowhere aoes a aoiiar 01 tax money go larther in benefiting young and old, in school and out, than in South Carolina. If South Carolina could be rated on a scale of results according to conditions, of teacher character and culture inheritance, of what a dollar of school tax represents of school sac16799 DIED in New York City alone from kidyney trouble last year.

Whenever and wherever .South Carolina stands low in education it is because of the stupidity of those who have no standards of' measurements except those that represent a brainless method of seeing only bulk ^ and weight; using averages instead' of personalities, measuring the chaff < with the wheat, giving it the same ( value. < At Rock Hill, President D.

There is a remarkable college campus at Winthrop. The equipment is t wonderfully complete and the scholastic standards and professional < ideals are nowhere better than at Winthrop. The faculty is practically all South Caroling talent educated in various universities of the country. The student body^is from the best ( homes of the state with best native blood of America.

Only ib?ut $50,000,000 of this difference of il.120,000,000 is accounted for by hanges proposed in the present law.
