WARRANTS FOR STATE AID TO BE ISSUED WHEN BLANKS ARE PROPERLY RETURNED. ' $290,000 IS APPROPRIATED ' Inspector ParVinson Says Many High School Districts of State Are in Need of Funds. Columbia. Blanks on which to give information concerning high schools pupils eligible for tuition paid by the state are being mailed from the high school inspector to the 178 state aided high schools of the state. As soon as these blanks are returned and the information which they give is properly checked, warrants for state high srhnol aid will be issued by the state department of education to all schools qualifying for such aid. The last legislature appropriated $290,000 to meet the state's obligation to the high schools. It is believed by officials of the state department of education that this amount will meet the state's obligation to the high schools in full. The state allows only $3 per pupil per month tuition for this sesion. Seven dollars per month was recommended by the state superintendent of education, but not allowed the legislature. B. L. Parkinson, high school inspector, said, "Many high school districts of the state are in need of funds and are anxious to receive their pro rata of state school aid. For this reason it is hoped that high school officials throughout the state will realize the importance of a prompt return of data relative> to pupils eligible for tuition. Warrants for high school aid wfll be mailed to county treasurers within ten days after the last tuition blank properly filled out is received." ?. Twenty Children Reported for Help. Twenty children throughout the state were reported to the child placing department of the state board of public welfare as needing hopes during the month of March.

In all, seven children were placed in either in temporary or permanent homes during the month of March. Twenty visits were made to homes where .children had already been placed and four homes of applicants for children were investigated. One hundred and four interviews were held relative to cases and ?7 applications for children were received. ! Teacners to Get Larger Salaries. John E. Swearingen. state superintendent of education, has returned to Columbia from Rock Hill, where he attended a financial meeting of the board of trustees of Winthrop college. * Mr. Swearingen said that the most important action taken by the board was the increasing of the salaries of teachers. The salaries of women, who are at the heads of departments at Winthrop, were raised from $2,000 to $2,500, Mr. Swearingen said. There ar? 12 in this group. 'The salaries of associate professors were arranged as follows: First year, $1,400; secrmrt vesr SI.500: third year, $1,650. The mall heads of departments. Mr. Swearingen said, already gets $3,000 and a house, rent of which is estimated at $300, and no changes were made In these salaries, he said. 'Some additional compensation for work in the summer school may also be received by some of the teachers, he said. The increases in salaries go into effect as of January 1. 1922 Charleston Man Granted Parole.

I " HI NIW YORK CI** State May Lose Thousands. South Carolina may lose something over $150,000 because the legislature did not provide for the enforcement of the motor vehicle license laws of the state, according to figures compiled by highway department officials for the close of business on the first j quarter of the year. 'This big loss is now staring the department in the face, and unless some action is taken by the counties, there 1,1 ?11? V. ? r.Un wnrt f A nrnt tVlO* Will iiuruiy ue a taautc kkj gcv wmv money. The loss comes about from the decrease in motor vehicle registrations. To date, including figures for the close of March, only 67,521 automo-( biles have been registered and this Is a decrease of 15,842 automobiles alone from last year. The time for registreing machines ended February 1 and the highway department believes these 15,842 automobiles are "somewhere in South Carolina" without license plates. The average cost for a license for a car. is $7.50 and this gives a loss of $118,815 because of the failure to have inspectors to enforce the law. A total of 5,713 trucks have been registered so far and this gives a decrease of 1,484 from last year. The average for a truck license is $17 and this means a loss of $25,228. Only 23 trailers have been registered to date, this being a decrease of 36 from last year. Trailer licenses are sold for $12 and this brings a $432 loss. So far only 375 motorcycles have been licensed, which is a loss of 3S5 from last year and at $3 each, a monetary loss of $1,155. Dealers have dropped in number also, only 416 being registered so far. This is a loss of 253 and at $24.05 each, the average, a monetary loss of $6,204.90. This gives a total of $151,834.90 that the state stands to lose this year, according to highway officials, who are not very well pleased with this prospect now facing them. A strong effort to get the counties to enforce the license laws and thereby get the money is being made and this may have a good result, although nothing definite has as yet been accomplished except in one or two counties. Last year two inspectors were maintained and they brought in thousands of dollars that would very likely have otherwise been lost. The salary was Sl.SOO each. No money was provided by the legislature to employ inspectors this year. Governor Signs Telephone Bill. Governor Cooper signed the Foster telephone act restoring rates and charges on all telephones in the state, except companies in one or two counties, to their status as of January 1, 1921. The chief executive had announced a hearing on the act, passed by the recent session of the legislature, but called off this hearing in view of the fact that he had already reached a conclusion. The act that became law is one of - ? a A tne most important pieces ui icgioiution put through by the legislature at the 1922 session. It makes hull and void increases in telephone rates allowed by the railroad commission and puts these rates, charges, tolls, etc., back to the same status they were before the railroad commission allowed the increase in March of 1921. The act also re-establishes the telephone exchange radius or alleged "free toll" service thai was abolished by the general assembly. . Month of April for Education. The month of April, the beginning of the new church year for Presbyterians, will be devoted to the cause of Christian education and ministerial relief, according to the progressive program of the Southern Tresbyterian church. This program calls for a new cause each month during the year and it has been decided that special efTorts will be made to interest Presbyterians in this particular line of work during April. Some interesting facts hare recently been prepared on this branch of church activity. It was shown in the previous year 169 candidates for the ministry were given aid, six candidates for medical missions and 23 young women candidates for home and foreign mission work were assisted; 20 young women and 63 young men were loaned money for their education, and over 100 ministers and 172 widows and 26 orphans of ministers were among those receiving relief. In addition nearly $700,000 was added to the endowment fund. Place for Batson. Governor Cooper appointed George \V. Batson magistrate for Greenville township to succeed his father, Eugene Batson. who died last week. Mr. Batson is a veteran of the world war, having served with distinction in the Thirtieth division. He was awarded a distinguished service cross here when the Thirtieth division paraded Main street soon after its arrival at Camp Jackson. Mr. Batson was recommended by Senator Proctor A.
