The rule his ic-'u roughly established that 15 i?er cent of the young folks 6f a community say they do not intend to stay in it aft"r their sdhool careers have emb'd, there Is something the matter. vFor example l$.*Vig?r Mo., disclosed as lijirh lis (HI per cent ur intentions to leave the ci.ty. This fact alarmed the citizens and hush men to sut'h an extent that tln-y under took to find out just what was the mat ter with that. town, and having decided, t*i*y undertook to" .correct the conditions,* They were so successful tftmt a similar survey made is months later showed that only 25 iter <rnt of the yo,ung folks jyctv intending to leave. Niagara Rills, X. V., heads the list of American cities whtdli are satisfac tory to their yotiiig folks. There are less than S pe^- ccht of the hoys and jrlris going to hwve. That c'ty was rightly called a "live town." Hoys and girls just out of higth school did n?t need to go to Huffalo or. Cleveland or Xew York to make their careers; they could do so at home. In commenting on the showing made in the Camden High Scfhool, one of the members of the committee in charge of the campaign for membership and a sustaining fund which will be made [ next week, said : ".Some time before the Great War. an Investigation shower] that the lowest conservative estimate of the cost of i sending a hoy or girl through our grade (and High S<fliool was .$1,000; that is for every hoy or girl who wtas graduated from the High School, the taxpayer had to raise and expend not less than $1,000. 'Pilose figures would today he, greatly increased, perhaps doubled, us moat everything else lyus been. "But if we stick to t lie former figures and upcept t lit? statements of the stu dents now in our High .School, tflie 20 boys and girls who are not going to remain in Kershaw after their gradua tion, represent. the tidy little sum of *29,000 which tihe taxpayers have rais ed and expended for the benefit of those communities to which' those 20 young people are going to make their /homes. And if we allow present conditions to run along, the taxpayers of Camden and Kershaw County will keep right ou educating their young folks for the benefit of other places." Two other questions were asked of tlie students: "What vocation do you intend to enter?" and "What woufd you like to the Chamber of Commence undertake for the Improvement of Cam don and Kershaw County?" The answers to the former covered about tlie same range of activities as in ofl)?*r communities. Some of the ambi tions of the boys arc interesting. One, for example, wrote: "I intend to l>e an explorer." Of particular interest w?*r^ the rui sNVer.s to the se^Mid question, of what the Clhamber of Commerce should un dertake f<>r the improvement of the community. Ilt^rc ar* some of. the suggestion*, Just as the young folks wrote them : "I would I'ke to see the Chamber of Commerce undertake the improvement of the streets of Camden and the roads ? a!'

This would make Camden's school recognized by the universities." Considerable surprised ml mm'h grati fication was expressed by those who ex amined the written answers of the boys and girls upon the very evident fact thflt they are thinking and thinking .hard about their home community. "Some of us older folkp sometimes have jin idea', "said one of t ho- men pro moting the Chamber of Commerce cam paign. " that the boys and girls do not know <>r care much about thetr home town.
