Ob serve the numerous parks and playgrounds of Charleston — all supported by the city. Then will come swimming pools, skating rinks, "baseball parks, new streets, and all the heavy expense of main tenance. Then there are gardens. One town is considering a town- owned cemetery. Ordinarily we oppose such investments, but there is something to be said for town- owned cemeteries: they are nece ssary and they are not immediate ly profitable. But we must have cemeteries: people must not bury their loved one in their back lots, nor in lonely isolation and forget fulness on a farm. As to the cemetery: the land has to be bought and developed suit ably; it » a long-time investment, but it is an investment that must be sure and permanent. So the town, as a continuing, a permanent organization, may have to lay off an appropriate place for all who may rest there.

Our State has a surplus to day and this is the time for the towns to rceive consideration. Tne towns might properly say that it is not consideration they want, but money. Well, it pays, sometimes, to be blunt and specific. • • » What will become of the Eisen hower vote in South Carolina? Will it become an independent group? Or will it develop into a South Carolina Republican party? Beyond a doubt the great vote for Eisenhower in this state gives to the Republican Party a standing which it has not enjoyed in the memory of man. Where shall we place the Eisenhower supporters? I am reminded of the old brother who fell asleep during a long sus tained discourse by his pastor. The minister was clasifying the Proph ets into Major and Minor Proph ets, as is customary. The older brethren of an earlier day had more endurance-^’uhder ministerial fire than we of this weak and un easily buiW on the recent victory. With all respect for the Republican brethren of long adherence to that party, we may say, in the language of the streets, that the Republican Party has become responsible in South Carolina. And the new re spect for the Republican Party grows out of the loss of respect for thfe Tnnnanite4Pendergastian type of alleged Democracy. The leaders of the Eisenhower forces in the recent campaign are not politicians; nor do they court political favor, or seek political recognition. These men and wom en were like flaming evangels of a new day; there was no taint, no spot, on their armor. They re minded me of a stanza in the grand old hymn of the churches: “Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God: Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod: We are not divided All one body we. One in hope and doctrine, One in charity.” Those valiant men and women trod in the footsteps of Washing ton, Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Rob ert E. Lee, Wade Hampton, and all the other great immortals of our history. (I’m thinking of South Carolina.) Perhaps Eisenhower supporters may form a bloc of independent voters, supporting the Party or the platform which suits them best. Of immediate interest is the ef fect on candidates who seek our support two years from now. There is always the possibility that some one may become a candidate and call on the Independents to sup port him: that usually happens. Then—what? Dr. Kate Wofford Studies Education Needs of Turkey By SUSIE DOUGLAS Chester. — The name of Kate Wofford should be Well known in South Carolina for she is indeed one of the state’s distinguished women. Ac an educator and a writer on educational subjects she is out standing. She is a native of Lau rens county, and as an alumna of Winthrop college, has reflected honor upon her Alma Mater. She is a BA., of Winthrop, an M.A. of Cornell University and a Ph.D. of Columbia University. Besides scholastic achievements, she has also had political honors. For sev en years she was County Supe- intendent of Education in Laurens County. She was the first woman to become President of the State Teachers’ Association. She now serves on many boards and is in demand for speeches and articles on education. Studies Rural Field Dr. Wofford is probably best known as an authority on rural education. As a child she knew at first hand the limitations of the country school. Being the kind of person that she is, to see a need is to remedy it. Not everyone has, from the University/ of Florida in CREDITOR’S NOTICE order to attend this meeting. She All persons having claims against that quaiiixcation, but Kate is one; who does something about it. She, is the author of two books on the) subject: Education in the Small Rural School, and Teaching in Small Schools. These books are used as textbooks throughout the United States and have been rec ommended by the National Edu cational Association. She has trav eled widely and has lectured in nearly every state in America and in foreign countries. In fact, she has been called an “International Educator.” The Turkish government recog nized its weakness in elementary education, engaged her services in reorganizing the set-up in that country. With the aid of an inter preter she made a study and made recommendations which the Turk ish Minister of Education put into effect. It was in 1951 'that she went to Turkey. A year earlier she had been chosen by the Ameri can Army of Occupation to go to Korea on an educational mission, particularly one in regard to teach er training. At the University of Seoul twenty educational authori ties from American universities were present. These worked with Korean teachers who were all col lege graduates. Dr. Wofford had been granted a leave of absence thinks that much was accomplish ed there for Korean education. Dr. Wofford’s activities are in deed international in scope. Dr. Wofford was for twelve years Director of Rural Education at the New York State Teachers’ College at Buffalo. From there she went to Gainesville, Fla., to become head of the Department of Elementary Educations, a position which she now holds. The Turkish Government has sent twenty-five students (21 men and 4 women) to be trained in ru ral education by Dr. Wofford at the University of Florida. They arrived in this country October 20, and expect to be here 8 months. Dr. Wofford will be responsible for the cor-ordination of their studies while they are here.
