No enterprise is better named than
the Opportunity school und no enterprise
has opened the door of opportunity
more willingly than tho one
who conceived tho idea and put the
school Into operation. Ilocauso we
had failed as citizens to give the
youth a chance to attend school and
learn the necessary requirements of
a common school education, it was
imperative that adults be given the
privilege of interpreting the printed
page and thus Wil Lou (Iray paved
the way for thousands who have
learned and have returned thanks for
her work.
tl costs so little in actual money
to provide this opportunity that one
is almost amazed to know that the
coffers of the Opportunity school are
not filled and that gludly by the
privileged ones of this state?which
, would bp a wonderful Christlike gesture.
It Is encouraging to kuow that
a great many who have attended the
school are now helping with the expenses
of others and are expressing
the greatest gratitude for what was
affordod them.
I visited the first Opportunity
school and have through the years
watched the progress made year after
year and the ever increasing Interest
of the civic and religious organizations
contributing to this good work.
Ono has but to learn of the benefits
derived from a comparatively small
outlay to become a regular and generous
coutlrbutor. Many civic groups
look forward to sendnlg pupils each
year and record with pride the number
they have helped to a fuller and
better life.
It will not be long until another
Opportunity school opens at Clenujon
college. Let's all "pitch in" and
make it the best yet. The more, the
happier with Wll Lou. Every dollar
you send will be Just that much reading,
writing and arithmetic to those
we neglected In youth. Many boys
were able to serve in the army and
navy Just because they were found
and given an opportunity to learn before
Uncle Sam called them> There
might be others Just waiting for your
gift and your encouragement that
they might also serve their country.
Let none be lost to the cause. Get in
touch with Wil Lou Gray, department
of education, Columbia.
While we are thinking about thoso
who lost an opportunity of learning
In their youth, we must consider the
causes which have contributed to
this neglect. Many things have prevented
children from attending tho
schools which this state provided, but
oftentimes- the main reason was be- '
cause the ^ parents did not feel the j
necessity of learning. In many Instances,
lack of food, and clothing
hindered a child from taking advantage
of school. In this way thousands
of dollars were literally lost every
year because of absentees.
A few years ago the legislature, in
its wisdom, passed an' attendance law
which provided each county with a
supervisor whose duty it would be
to investigate every instance of lack
of school attendance, find out the
contributing causes and if possible
rectify whatever* prevented attendance.
In many counties these teachers
have done a wonderful Job and
increased attendance far more than
U national average increase. Tfiey
h<xve provided clothing, books, food
and transportatfon where needed? ,
this being done in co-operation with
other state agencies.
But one thing has been lacking
these several years the school attendance
law has been operative?a supervisor
in the department of education.
Everything requires supervision
in order to standardize and equalize
the requirements in the many counties.
The job ought to be done on
the same footing in every county, and
this cannot be accomplished without a
supervisor. Each summer a Clinic
should be held in order to check up
on the progress made, the problems
encountered, the necessariee to be
furnished, the improvements made in
attitude, etc. This would require the
services of one person as a head. So
we must see to it that the officer is
added to the department of education
at the next session of the legislature.
It's our law! The interested citizens
of this state worked long and hard
for this one measuer. Let's improve
It by adding Supervision!

My Dear Mr. Cannon:
I wish to thank you for the clipping
captioned "The Trainee and the
Public,." I thoroughly endorse everything
tliat was said in that clipping
and it appealed to me very strongly
for the reason that the views and
action of Judge Perry therein places
in writing the feeling that I have entertained
and often expressed from
the bench.
I wish to take this opportunity of
expressing my deep appreciation to
you for the articles appearing in your
paper concerning me.
I enjoyed greatly my contacts with
you during the last term of Court and
regret very much that another year
will elapse before I am due to return
to Camden.
I wish to again express to you my
congratulatoins upon tho splendid
pappr that you are publishing. As I
told you that I had been a subscriber
to The Chronicle for many ye.ars and
I can appreciate what you are now
doing with that paper.
With warm personal regards, I am

Editor Camden Chronicle,
Camden, S. C,
Dear Sir:
1 have just noted your recent article
on the undemocratic policy of John
L. Lewis, in which you ask "What has
become of Maybank?"
I am enclosing copy of the Congressional
Record of April 29, in
which is inserted a speech which I
made on the floor of the Senate in
regard to strikes. I have been using
my best efforts to help in this matter
and have left no stone unturned. I
8ha.ll continue my efforts to stop
strikes of any kind, whether In mines
or other industries, which will affect
our nation at this time. Some of the
daily papers of South Carolina carried
this speech, and I judge you
overlooked same.
With kind regards, I am
Sincerely yours, (
Burnet R. Maybank.
