V: * rHE f SUPERINTENDENTS TALK OF NEW EDUCATION LAWS Columbia, March 31.?New laws having to do with the educational system of South Carolina are being carefully stadied by thirty-one county superintendents of education who assembled in Columbia yesterday. Two sessions were held yesterday and a third is scheduled for this morning. The sessions yesterday were presided over by John K. Swearingen, state superintendent of education, and many points of interest with regard to the new laws and their interpretation were raised. The discussion raneed all the wav from units of entrance required by college* to "joggling" with enrollment of pupil* no that schools could qualify for equalization fund*. The ancient question of congestion in lower grades and a life of ease for tenchers of the higher grades came up for n prolonged discus-ion, and it was during this discussion that the superintendents applauded remarks by Lueeo Gunter, rural school supervisor. In discussing rural schools which loach French and solid geometry in order to prepare a few pupils for college while the lower grades are congested to the point of discomfort, Mr. Gunter said, "Our burden, as county sujkcrintcndcnts, is to get all the children of a I Itlic people up through the seventh or the eighth grade. So long as we permit the lower grades to be congested and favor the few pupils up in the principal's room, just so long will be have I l he problem of near illiteracy which is almost as bad "as absolute illiteracy, and just so long will we do superficial work." It was in this connection that R. T. Galium of Pickens county said that this year there were four pupils in the iiloV^nllt ftrutln I r? 1);a1???.. . A ' .... . v ?w? ,n.??uv 111 4 iviwun cunut^, jrtrilie aaidlie'felt sure that 2f? pupils would leave the county next fall and cuter ! colleges. He did not know where colleges would get pupils unless they admitted them from grades below the eleventh. Others, notably A. H. Gaaque, of Florence, and J. E. Carroll, of York, held that the pupils of the higher grades ilso deserved some consideration, and thought tlu?t they should bo encouraged to continue their education. Mr. Gunter then explained that he did not utend to advocate the discontinuing of all high school grades, but hold that when it was a choice of special work for j i he few, the lower grades should be favored. The equalization law came in for j much consideration and seemed to be regarded as n step forward. The opin 'on seemed general that It was a pood basis to Ax the salary of one-tcaeher hnote in eight mill districts at a certain figure and then to permit the dis'riet itself to increase the salary if it so desired. The salaries of all teaehervcYe given much consideration and rncticaHy all present were in fS?vor ?> if MHjjrs n>r uioir loaenors.

Like most American soldiers who went across and did their duty, Mr. Ritch had little to say of his war experiences, but one may learn from reading the record of his service in his discharge papers that he was a first class soldier and that it is little short of miraculous that he took part in all the engagements of his immediate command, Company C, Third Machine Gun battalion, from the time it was rushed to the front and got in touch with the enemy on the Luneville sector on October 21, 1917, to the end df-the Meusc-Argonne offensive on October 12, 1918, and is again at home without having received_even a scratch to indicate the active part he took in the war, including many occasions when men were being mowed down all around him like grain falling before a scythe.
