J Miss Gray Bald that the problem! here was easier because thero werlb only two elements, native white anil pegro, with which to deal, while 1^ many states thero were as many kf ' 12 foreign nationalities of sufficient! number to create a distinct problem 8he further stated that as both o the Palmetto Btate's elements wer native born, "neither had to be edu cated to appreciate American lnstlti tlons.'' " J. D. Fulp, state high school Inspei tor, who also attended the Chicag conference, concurred in the vie* expressed by Miss Oray. "What struck me most at the co i ference was that every one was floui ' dering around trying to find a sol' ? tion to their problems," Mr. Fu > said: "it is much simpler here tha In states that have a large forelg born population with which to deal ' Others attending the conferen< i from South Carolina wore: D. 1.

Inducing publishers to print th i works selected, the selection of teac? ers who would make use of newspa| pers, check bobks. calendars and othe| things near at hand and tho procuring of a number of bulletin^ dealing o$ topics relating to American Inatltil tlons. Mr. Fulp said that while In votlnl on the approval of the SterllngRee<j bill for the creation of a department of education, no great opposition wa i voiced, during the discussion thero was considerable opposition., the Mpir England states being apparent!' strong against the measure. The high school inspector vislte I the East Side high school of Cllncir natl on the return trip. He Bald tha the school has a plant costing mor than $5, 000,000 and an enrollment o 1,700 students.

Tho convention will mark tho open ing of the 1924 convention as far as the women are concerned.

Thomas G McLeod spoke here at the laying of the cornerstone for the nurses' homo, under construction adjoining the Spartanburg General hospital The Masonic grand lodge was in charge of the ceremonies. "The ceremonial conveys an Idea that the building means more than brick and mortar, or cenet and Iron," Oovernor McI*eod said. "It carries a sentiment in our mindB to determine its real purpose. "The advance in surgical skill has led to the development of such splen did structure as this nurses' homo. The gentle and trained ministration of young women has added to a great do grc their powers to sooth the aching 1 ?. ' In the advances of this great civi lization, of which wo are a part, every hospital is Just another mile stone in the scale of progress."
