We’ve sU come to think of a good education for our chil dren as the natural birthright of young Americans—but building up and admin istering a school system as fine as South Carolina’s is a gigantic task. Nearly SOCMMO students are enrolled each year in South Carolina’s schools and colleges. There are 3^93 primary schools, 439 secondary schools and 35 colleges and universities. The range of studies runs from kindergarten gamin through die three “R’s* to the moat advanced scientific and sociological ro of to this to them goes much of die credit for its well as to the of each institution, to local and county school boards and to the Department of Education. We of the Greyhound Lines take the same pride as all other South Carolinians in our State’s educational achievements. We know that our own organization is *>ding the school system both with tax wpport and transportation service. Thoee of us whose children are benefit ing directly from the splendid schooling afforded them feel doubly proud. In wartime even more than in peace time^ die things that draw us all together, that unify our efforts, that make us good’ neighbors in every sense, are the »hmg« that count moat heavily.
