Columbia, March 1C.—'(Special) — fy'l heartily endorsed the idea and | The free conference committee of the assured him of their closest coopera tion. In the past, stated Mr. Wilkes this morning, these records hove only been kept in the individual schools and many of them have become lost in changing school superintendents and teachers. As a result of this there is absolutely no record of hun dreds of high school graduates who completed the courses in the county. Recognized colleges in the state and elsewhere will not permit a stu dent to graduate unless the college can secure a record of where the stu dent finished his or her high school training. This is nlso true in numer ous other lines. It Is getting so now, he said that many business corpora tions require a record of school train ing before giving out certain posl tions. While he was super ntenden* of the Timmonsville schools Mr Wilkes said he received many letters asking for the records of certain students who graduated there, but they could not be found. All of this confusion will be elimi nated, Mr. Wilkes stated, if the rec ords are kept in the office of the county superintendent and w : U bo fit all times available to those who need them. Another matter Mr. Wilkes is tak ing up is urging ail teachers in the county to attend some sort of sum mer school during their vacation. He ts also taking the matter up with the various trustees of the schools of the county for giving all teachers who at tend summer school n ra ; se In sal ary. He believes that in most in stances this will be done Mr. Wilkes stated that since going into office the first of the month he has visited many of the schools of the county and found them in excel lent condition. “In most instances I found the schools of the county on a sound bag’s and in charge of com petent teatusrs.” he said. lion Mr. Sunday bad ever wnnessed.' be held at the h|gh flrhool Legislature this morning reported on the sales tax bilf.
