Ev ery effort is made to develop the lads by training them in agriculture and in carpentry and at the same time to make their training benefit the school. A house can be erected at de la Howe at a fraction of the cost if by contrac tors. This is genuinely a home and school where self-help is emphasised. The free power from the. river, the granite in the ground, the unlmuted timber supply in the forests, the hun dreds of fine acres, up-to-date ma chinery of both agricultural and wood working character, all make it possib e to do something worth while for these poor boys and girls.

In the will establishing the school, Dr. de la Howe makes mention of reading of such a plan in the Colum bian Magazine, of the date of April, 1797. A search for copies of this issue of the Columbian reveals that at least two are in existence; one is in the li B. Branch in Manufacturers Record.) * i The oldest manual training school in America is situated in McCormfcfk county, South Carolina. This county is named for the family of the inventor of the reaping machine, whose widow was interested just after the Civil war in gold mining on land near whgt is now the town of McCormick. Some years ago, effort was made to cut off from old Abbeville county what is now McCormick county and it was intended to name the county Calhoun for John C. Calhoun, who was born in the con fines of the new county. This election failed and in the meantime another county was set up in South Carolina and named Calhoun. The later election succeeded and . the new county was named McCormick. The establishment of the de la Howe State school was accomplished in 1797. The Federal Government recognizes this establishment as the oldest man ual training foundation in America. Dr. Jean de la Howe, the founder, a French emigre and native of Hanover, came to America some time in the latter part of the eighteenth ceiitury and settled among the Hugenots at New Bordeau, S. C., near the Savan nah Yiver. While de la Howe was not post office is Willington, S. C. Miss Marion SaUey Heads TheU. D. C.

Columbia was selected as the next convention city after a co/diifl invita tion had been given by Mrs. Alice Beard from the chapters of Columbia, the mayor' and other prominent citi zens. * The Daughters had before them a recommendation by Mrs.'T. J. Mauldin expensive schools might let them board and work for their maintenance i and schooling. The work would t be largely of an agricultural character. The “Lethe” plan changed this by 1 making provision only for indigent children of both sexes. Out of this in novation has grown the present school, which is under State control and sup port and is for normal indigent chil dren exclusively. Among the provisions of Dr. de la Howe’s will was one that the beds of <Mthe children were to be of beech i of pi c ft 2n s, retiring president, that a leaves rather than feathers; the boysi] ar?er pension be sought for Confed- were to be instructed in surveying and ! erate veterans in this state.

The school had been conducted in differently for nearly i25 years, when in 1918 the Legislature of South Car- j olina adopted it and changed its name from the Lethe Agricultural Seminary to the Dr. John de la Howe Industrial School. With funds appropriated by the Legislature, a number of permanent improvements have been effected. De la Howe hall, the administration build ing, constructed of stone quarried on the estate, has been completed at a tcost of $170,000. Jibe Industrial build ing, also of granite, cost $20,000.
