It I should l>o road l>y every citizen of j South Carolina who is interested in tho i education of tho youth of tho Stato. In addition to vuluablo statistics, im portant questions connected with tho schools of tho Stale arc discussed in a lucid and diapnFsionnto slvlo. TIiu increase in the enrollment of students in especially gratifying to thoso who liopo fur speedy nnival <> f j tho day when illiteracy in South Curo lina will be minimised. IjiihI year tho ? number of white pupils wan J ud , 7 '2 8 < pud thin year 109,151', hii increase of i 5,430, while tho number of colored J pupils last year was 110,292 find this year 120,178, an lootcaao of i5,88'5, 'J'ho total increase of pupila was 9,111 G. That in a splendid fdiowing, (specially I when it iu considered that owing to a j change in the soholustio year tho flg i u res for thin year arc for eight monthn, | while hint year's figures are for twelve months. 'J'ho change of the seholnslio year made tho averago length of tho school fiensi(. n somewhat less than last year, whoreftH if tho figures had been for twelve months instead of eight tho average length would have been great* er. Tt ah to bo hoped that Buponinten* ? dent Mayfield will suecccd in his of i forts to have all of tho schools put upon ! a cash baton, for it uiu?t be patent to I all that their ellioionoy will bo increased thereby. Many of tho counties lrivo already placed their schools on a cash I basis, and the others aresparing no < f | forts to roseh that much 'desired goal, j Mr. Miivlleld clearly Jdenion>tntes that in its eagerness to avoid an extra heavy t.-tx levy tho General Assembly at its last session erodited tho Dispen sary with more profits than it had earned. Jt ordered paid into I he gen eral fitiiil hf tho State treasury all the profits accrued up to December III and claimed hh profits tho.^Vdu'diinting to ' ^n!,r>7, The injustice of 1 1,;., ?; lv'?y is plain, for tho net profits were ?.vi dently not I lie cash value of tho ansela, but tho value less tho expense of sell ing the stock of liquor then on hand. Hut ho has called tho attention of the Legislature to lliis subject and it will doubtless investigate it t hi>roughiy,and with tho desire to do what is best for tlie schools. It is demonstrated that if objection able histories are used in any schools I iu this Stale, they arc used in schools j which nro not under the control of Ins j department. ?
