This work he discontinued in October, 1919. The new president of Presbyterian comes from a religious family, and he, himself, is a ruling elder in the First Presbyterian church of Colum bia.

Bailey of Clinton, H. E. Davis of Florence and J. D. Fulp of Green wood. Doctor Parkinson has just turned 40, having been born in Lincoln coun ty, middle Tennessee, January 1, 1887. He was graduated in 1906 from the high school of Molino, Tenn., and in 1909 from Erskine college, where he received the B. S. degree. He studied at George Peabody College for Teach ere annd there got his master’s degree in 1920. Several yean later he re turned to the same institution and got has Ph. D. Beyond his bachelor’s de gree, he has done thre and ohe-third yean of standard graduate work, dis tributed as follows: Two quarters at Columbia university, two quarters at the University of South Carolina, and six quarters at Peabody. A review of Doctor Parkinson’s teaching career shows how he has gone upward, step by step, climbing, (Continued from Page One) direct from Sweden, Norway and Den mark.* The plan has the support of many leading southern men, not a few of whom will go to Denmark with the excursion next summer. Local Ciin- tonians also are planning to go. The benefits to accrue from the purchase of 1,000 memberships in the Clinton Calhoun Highway and Booster Asso ciation will therefore be of a double character: First, the benefits to be derived from the general promotion along the Calhoun highway; second, the benefits to be derived through the activities of the local association in the effort to secure settlers for this particular region. It was by this dual effort that the Calhoun highway was built, and by the same kind of effort it can be re-populated and brought tc a condition of prosperity again. All banks, merchants, and manufac turers are interested in agricultural prosperity. Farmers are also interest ed whether they occupy their owi farm or not, for land values depend New blood is needed with new ideas, and new or ganization. Increase of population of our farm areas is absolutely essential to progress and success of the town. Everybody therefore is urged to as sist liberally and promptly, and to en courage the committeemen when they call. This movement must succeed. It seems to be the only answer to the serious problems resulting from the decadence of agriculture in this sec> tion. Congress is investigating the mat ter of land settlement in the South. It can be anticipated that encourage ment will be had from Congress, from the general assemblies of the South ern states, from leading thinkers, and especially from leading agriculturists throughout the South, hut those will benefit most who boost most, and our boosting must not be that of words only, but of deeds. What Clinton is agreed upon and becomes enthusiastic over, and determines shall be, will be. But this calls for sacrifice of time and effort and some money to put it over in a bigger and bigger way. Just at present the problem is to start, and the goal is $2,000.00, represented by 1,000 paid-up memberships in the Clin ton Calhoun highway and Booster As sociation, which being tributary to the general Calhoun Highway Association will turn one-half the funds over to that association for its general pur poses, and retain the other half for prompting land settlements in the neighborhood of the section of high way from Whitmire to Cross Hill, or rather from the Enoree to the Saluda river.

C., to become super intendent and also teacher of the tenth grade. He remained there until the fall of 1914 when he returned to Laurens to become superintendent. He was in war work from 1918 to 1920, when he was appointed state high school inspector, which he resign ed in 1923 to take the newly created place of director of extension and pro fessor of school .administration. This place he now holds. He has taught in the university summer school for three years. Dr. Parkinson has found time for varied public service. From 1920 to 1923 he was a member of the South Carolina committee of the commission on secondary schools for the Southern states. For the year 1923-24, he was executive secretary and treasurer of the South Carolina Teachers’ associa tion, and so successfully was he in the reorganization of this body, that he was honored the following year with .he presidency. His service in build ing up the state teachers’ association is recognized as outstanding. He was editor and business manager of South Carolina Education, the teachers’ pro fessional magazine, from 1923 through 1925. He was president of the' Lau rent County Teachers’ association, 1915-16. He has been the hoard of directors Carolina Tuberculosis association since 1923, and a director of the Security Building and Loan association of Co lumbia since 1924. For three years he has been a special collaborator of the United States bureau of education. He is the author of a number of publi cations, notable among which was his thesis for his doctor’s degree, on ‘The Professional Preparation and Certi fication of White Elementary and Sec ondary Public School Teachers in South Carolinia.” After being rejected for active ser vice several times, because of physi- land.

Operating credits will become unnecessary, and if the Scandinavians settled among us succeed in demon strating what they have already dem onstrated in their home countries— hat farming on the doctrine of the cow. hog and hen is very profitable— then our own farmers throughout this section along the Calhoun high way will gradually adopt their meth ods and themselves become prosper- WHAT DO P JEANS ous. In Denmark the bulk of the depos it.‘ come from the substantial, indus trial and frugal farmers and the de posits arc loaned to merchants, man ufacturers and other i. terests—quite he contrary of the situation here. In order for this thing to win, some town must take the leadership. Clin- *on has been nominated by Mr. Hanna as the town to show the way, in faith that the thing can be done at some sacrifice towards advancing the cause. He wishes to tell what Clinton is doing in order to incite to bigger ef fort all the towns from Atlanta to Wilmington and Raleigh. However, Wilmington has already made an ap propriation of $3,000.00 a year for Calhoun highway purposes.
