Mr. Hope stated that the 12 grades would afford students opportunity for more thorough education, through the curriculum and deeped sense of re sponsibility which he said would de velop with an additional school year.

Johnston Is for the 12'grade plan and will ask the General Assembly, at its present ses- sion, to enact the legislation neces sary to provide such a system. Camden pnbltc schools have always been outstanding and it is believed that the school trustees will realize that if this city is to keep us in the march of progress that it will be necessary to provide for the 12-gTade plan. Last Saturday the Columbia State carried the full text of The Chronicle editorial and commented favorably upon our viewpoint. 'The State hiw Electric Service Co.
