12-GRAOE PLAN EDITORIAL
MET WITH PUBLIC APPROVAL

(Continued From First Page)
lie school system would be a “defl-
nlte’‘ step forward for South Carolina
education.
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.
It will be recalled that these were
the arguments which the Chronicle
advanced last week.
Governor Olln D. 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

Due to wartime conditions, deliver
