To-day it is our purpose to con- intellectual life, arouses man from “Genuine Christianity enkindles •ider what he said about educa tion. When upou that subject the lethargy and creates within him public spirit and patriotism and an unfailing interest in the welfare of others. In Mexico, in Brazil, in governor was at his boat. It is Spain, wherever in short Christiani- stated that he spoke feelingly. He must have done so, for eveu a casual reading of his remarks in cold print reveals the heart of the man. Beyond that, a careful pe rusal thereof convinces one of the strength of his position. A few extracts will show whut ho thinks and in what direction his influence will bs exerted. After stating that it is the duty of the State to provide for the ed ucation of her children, ho cited instances showing that, “in the struggle for supremacy, the sceptre of dominion passes not toiheStat« most richly blessed by nature, but to the State that best succeeds in training its citizens for all the duties of life, both public and pri vate, in peace and in war.” Then he said truthfully, “Our schools are not what they ought to be, * * * aud this for reasons beyond our control,” namely, the efTicts of the war. “In spite of desperate odds, we have been moving forward, but the battle is not yet won. South Car olina has not yet regained her once proud position in this great republic. She cau never regain it nntil hsr people, rising above all partisan hatred, units ia oue he roic effort to make our system of public instruction inferior to none. “It is thus and thus only that we shall triumph iu the end. We should develop our mines, build factories aud improve ths fertility of our soil; but our highest, our most sacred duty now and ever more must be to improve the qual ity of our citizenship, to develop the mind and hearts of the rising generation, for upon their intelli gence, virtue and patriotism the destiny of our State depends.” “In a monarchy, in an aristoc racy. he continued, “a few great and good men may govern the state wisely and well, but in a government of the paople, for the people aud by the people, illiter acy is a shame aud a disgrace and a constant menace to the safety of the State. All good citizens shoula unite iu the effort to improve our public schools; to lengthen the school term especially iu the coun try; to encourage the foundation of public libraries; to inaugurate a system of university extension that shall carry science and cul ture to eager minds grasping af ter better things; to increase the number and efficiency of the far mers’ institutes, now conducted by the authorities of Clemson col lege.” The Governor pledged his un wavering support and sympathy in the great work of educating the masses. After stating that the common schools cannot fit for the highest duties of statesmanship, which require the amplest scholar ship, he gave utterances to the following thoughts upon higher education which will meet with the full approbation of th^ great majority of our people : ty has become stagnant, there all public enterprises languish. Destroy or cripple our denomina tional colleges and you take from our civilization its strong, uplifting force ; but destroy or cripple our State institutions, and you take the road which has carried Spain, once the leading power and naturally the richest country of Europe, to the rear in the triumphal march of civilization.” Go to H.
