Textile Safety Record Is Set In Nine-Month Period Columbia, August 22. — A new record for safety among the textile workers of South Csroyna was es tablished during the nine months period ending June 30, it was an nounced today by John K. Cauthen, executive vice-president of the manufacturers association. “Accidents occurred at only ap proximately one-third the national frequency and at about one-half the same frequency they occurred in South Carolina during the Same period last year,” Cauthen report ed. He added that for the nine- month period there wer 3.04 lost time accidents per million hours as against the national average of 9.9 in the textile industry. For the same period last year the South Carolina frequency was 6.0. Cauthen said “the workers them selves should of course, be given credit for this phenomenal record.'* He added that “a big assist was given by a Safety Contest con ducted among the mills, with 104 plants competing, under the chair manship of Noel E. Williams of Winnsboro Mills.” Cauthen also paid tribute for the improvement in South Carolina to the fine influence of the annual State Safety Conference sponsored by the State Industrial Commis sion.” Estimated Income Light and water accounts receivable Taxes .... ..

In succeed ing centuries, an increasing number of thinkers became interested in in ternational educational cooperation, and this problem received wide spread attention in the latter half of the eighteenth century. In the nine teenth century, more than thirty plans were suggested for some sort of international educational organ- iation. In the latter part of this cen tury, students began in significant numbers to migrate across national boundaries in quest of higher educa tion. Many Americans studied In German universities, and the Em peror of Japan gave to each of some of his line to be more than a bar barian when he came to power in 1260. His fnilitary genius conquered South China, which had defied his grandfather, Genghis Khan. His ov erlordship was acnowledged by the Khans on the Volga, and by his bro ther on the throne of Persia. No other sovereign in history had ruled over so many millions of subjects. He had a quick and inquiring mind, was in terested in the arts of peace, and knew something of both Christianity and Buddhism. Through two traders, the Polo brothers of Venice, Kublai invited the head of the Western Church to send one hundred teachers to China to give instruction in Chris tianity and in the liberal arts. These were to be given support and pres tige by a court famous for its gen erosity. The messengers reached Eu rope in 1269 during the longest in terregnum in papal history. When a papal legate, Tedalde, counseled patience, the brothers united two years at Venice before starting the return to report the failure of their nrlsflon.

Seven Changes In College Faculty For New Session President Marshall W\ Brown yesterday announced three new ap pointments to the Presbyterian col lege faculty, completing the staff for the 1953-54 session. The new men are: -Charles E. Edge in English, re placing John Stevenson, who is on a year’s leave of absence for fur ther study; R. Leon Hall in French, replacing Albert Wallace; and Alex R. Cruickshanks. who replaces James Parthemos in the economics department. Four other appointments, an nounced previously, which also be gin this fall are: Taylor Martin, mathematics; Elmore Herbert, bi- otogy; William Crutchfield, assist ant coach and physical education instructor; and Lt. Col. Francis V. Smith, professor of military science and tactics. Edge comes to the college from Duke University where he has spent the past two years at work on his Ph^D. He received both his B.A and Master’s degrees from the University 0 f North Carolina and taught three years at Emory Uni versity before enering Duke , Hail served as assistant pro cessor of French and English at the university of Georgia, Atlanta Di- vision, for the past six years.

Government legal authority to operate informa tion and education programs on a world-wide scale; and the fellow- study abroad endeavor to interpret American political beliefs to their new associates. I pray that American higher education may become more ships which are being established'^h r ! st ! an so that our graduates may be able to interpret Christianity also, and that they may understand that the best, and perhaps the only hope, of avoiding the decline and even the disintegration of our civilization is in the full adoption of the Christian be lief in the dignity of man and the sovereignty of God. Today, as never before in history, higher education is international; the hope of the world is that it may also be Chris tian. this year by the English Parliament in honor of the Marshall Plan. American holders of these inter national fellowships, as well as Am erican students at home, have been notably lacking in willingness to study the languages, history, and culture of the Orient. The United States is now giving some financial aid to eighty-seven of the ninety- seven national states of the world, but is profoundly ignorant of the character and the culture of many peoples whose cooperation we are trying to win. When one American force landed in 1950 to help the South Koreans, the only one of some 10,000 American soldiers and sailors who could speak to the natives who met them at the beach, was a young lieutenant commander", a Presbyter ian college graduate whose parents were missionaries. A well-known Presbyterian educator who has been for years a missionary in Iran tells me that the United States State De partment had three hundred em- plyoees in Iran when we began our efforts to influence Mossadegh in his controversy with English oil inter ests. Of these three hundred employ ees, only two could converse in Per sian—one of these was in the United Stak-s on extended leave, and the serves Laurens county school district wa * temporary loan from 56 closed for this season on July 25 Lt.

DormNory Near $100,000 The campaign to raise funds for a new dormitory on the Presbyte rian college campus is nearing the two-thirds mark, with $98,155.68 paid and pledged by churches and friends of the Synods of South Carolina and Georgia. The college is seeking $150,000 within the two supporting SynocU to expand its dormitory facilities to accommodate 100 additional stu dents. South Carolina congregations have given or pledged $69 262.36 to ward the Synod quota of $100,000, and Georgia churches have re sponded with $22,721.91 toward their quota of $50,000. Other friends have added $6,171.41. Altogether, 223 churches with in the two synods have indicated some degree of participation in the campaign to date, 109 of these having paid their full quotas. Meanwhile, the demand for ad ditional dormitory space at the col lege increases as the start of an other session draws near. Ad vance applications for admission had reached an all-time high two months ago, and strenuous efforts are being made to provide for as, many qualified applicants as pos- side, it is stated.
