According to the report of W. A ' ?healy, state supervisor of mill "Cendent of public instvuctionmfwyp Schools, made today to State Superintendent of Public Instruction Swearin gen. He recommended, however, -that ten schools be abandoned and declared that the "idea of supporting a Separate school for mill children was -Wrong in principle as well as practice" and that it "often results in a poor school." Declaring that the contention that - mil\ chiMtw will net attend the regular district school is ill-founded, the supervisor said that eight mills in Anderson, five in Charleston, seven in Gaffney, one fo Blacks burg, one in Oh ester, two dt Harts vifte, two at Greenville, one at Sfmpsonvine, one at Greer, one in Lexington, Bateshurg, Marion, McGoU and Westminster, two in Orangeburg, three in Liberty, three in Coluihbia, five in Spartanburg, three in York and one each in Rock "Hilt, Landrum, In man, Well lord, Cowpens, Clcwer and Fort Kill do not have mill schools. He recommended abandonment of the following schools, the children to attend central schools: Honea Path, Williamston, Darlington, Edgefield, Greer, Ninety Six, Walhalla, ojnesville, Chesnee and Woodruff. Thirty other mill schools operate schools at the mill which are a part of and nnder supervision of the town schools, he said. High school buildings are being constructed in Abbeville, Anderson, Belton, Bamberg, Charleston, Gaffhey, Great Palls, Winnsboro, Greenville, Greer, Camfiieg, Kershaw, Lancaster, Walhalla, Orangeburg, Easley, Ojoa..?*?v r ? h?hvnii ujmtMutviu K( Liiuiarum, inW?n, Covins, Union, Clover, Rock Hill and York, be said, while modern buildings ate baldly needed at Caueluse, Warrenville, Auton, .Ware Shoals, Seneca, Cateechee, Finger, ville, Tucapau and Buffalo. Spurthtjf of the Charleston schools' the supervisor aaid: "Four years ago there were four teachers with less than 200 children in school-in the North Charleston seclion. TtyUy there are over 600 enrolled - tiftHhr 15 teachers, occupying] two splendid, new, modern brick buildings which cost |75,000 each. Keven acres of beaptiful grounds is owned by each school. These two schools are the Chi cor a and North Charleston and serve the following communities: Navy Yard, Charlesten, General Asbestos and Rubber company at Port Terminal and the rtnral section beyond. I do not know df any section that has developed so mptdftg and the school development has kept pace under the wise leadership of County Superintendent H. H.

While all three buildings' are too small, these schools will an-j swer a very pressing need, and will gveaty relieve the overcrowding in I the lolowing schools: WoodsideJ Mor.aghan, Poe, Samson and Blench-1 ery. "The Brandon nuilding is too small and out of date. Woodside needs fourj more rooms. The overcrowding at, Mills-Duncan is acute. The size of J the building should be doubled. Conditions at Judson are ideal. Monaghan is perhaps coming nearer to meeting the needs of her pupils than any school in the state. "Instruction is given in all these schools . through the seventh gradd? Such large Trom these communities entered the Greenville high school under the state law that the city board has decided that he burden is too great, that $3 a month per pupil paid by the state is not ample; so Greenville will charge all outside pu-l pils tuition the ensuing year. "This action has caused a move-. I nmnt to AMklinh ? v?i*?v? ? ?-u? I M ovuw 1 All UIC center of the area affected. The plan is to consolidate districts 8A, 8B, 8C, 81) and 8E into one district; to levy a special tax of 17 or 18 mils and bonds sufficient to provide buildings to meet the needs of the 5,000 children now in these schools; to establish a central high school to be organized along modern lines. ''This new district will embrace the following schools in addition to the new high school: Mills-Duncan, Judson, Brandon, Woodside, City View, West Greenville, Monaghan, Poe, Samson, Bleachery, Park Place and Sans Souci. The proposed area has an assessed valuation of over $8,000,000. With the exception of Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Spartanburg; it will be the richest school district in the state. The property valuation will be higher than any one of the 28 poorer counties of the state. Thirty-,>ne counties have fewer white children than this section now enrolled. It will have more white chil dreA in school than any school district a the staffe. "This new district will embrace nine several smaller ones and a number of the largest cotton mills in the state, of other enterprises, five large Greenville surburbs, and a large rural sec- , tion. Added to these are exceptional railroad, .interurban, street car and highway facilities, which wiil contribute to the enrollment of the new high school. The enrollment should reach 1,000 within three years. This is the biggest single school proposi- >j tion in the state today " > ^As at Winnsboro," says the report on Camden, "the Camden board provided e. very satisfactory school j building for the mills a year earlier than the one in town was erected. This school is built halfway between Hermitage and Wateree and serves both mills through the fourtr grade, after wrucn the children go to the Central school in town. The school is supported and controlled by the district board." At Lancaster a bond issue of $160,- i 000 is providing new buildings of , which 440,000 will be expended on the mill school. The Mollobon schdol in Newberry is pfrt of the city system < and cost 480,000. At Basley the town 1 board has taken over the three mill < schools and a $60,000 bond issue voted ' to erec~. additional buildings, f 0nd<r the heading * Spartanburg , county are eajily holdtef thely own '1 With the nsst of the state.

"Clifton Mills occupied a new $75,000 building, leathering in all of the 500 children from the three mills in one splendid school. These children bad heretofore been taught in fiv? miserable nooks and corners. In addition to the school house, the teach, ers' home and a bungalow for the principal were built. The site is large and ideal. A high school will be developed here within r few years Both these splendid plants were the .-ili.- . aI i" Kins ui ine mius. "The big: new high school in Spartanburg will be enjoyed by scores oi mill children from a dozen big: milU in and around the city." American Legion Convention Opens New Orleans, La., Oct. 16 (By thi Associated Press).?The America! Legion opened its national convention here today, within a rifle shot of th? historic square where Andrew Jackson mustered a sharpshooting armj of frontiersmen and Gulf pirates tc fight British veterans of the Napoleonic wars, somewhat more than i century ago. Now Orleans, grraeeful product oj three civilizations?Spanish, Frencl anil American?made its guests welcome, and in the narrow streets and wrought iron balconies of the old French quarter, there was more than hintr of the French towns with which the veterans of the A. E. F. grew familiar overseas. The legion "buddies" are a bit roomier around the waist, some oi ihem, than they were four years ago, v. hen the fighting in the Argonne was (.rawing to a close, and they are dis Inctly more comfortable today than they were in those war-harassed French towns, where quarters were scarce and even stables were at o premium. But they wer ethe saim old A. E. F. gang*?the same hurrab end noise, the same spirit of "LetY go" pervaded their 1922 assemblage It was not hard to 'imagine thai the old buildings which had seen Andrew Jackson's troops march out to defeat n crack British army twto weeks after peace had been declared in the war of 1812, the buildingc which had seen veterans of the Mexican war and wearers of the Confederate gray and of the Union blue swingirfg along to martial mueV?If was not hard to imegtne these old buildings open their eyes a bit behind their dusty pealousies as this veterans of the latent war gathered in reunion, and to declare the ?oliciefa of their organisation. The Legion will bit the guest of New Orleans for five days. During that time, it is expected it will ones more declare itself with some explicitrcss in reorard to the bonus hill? that it wilt demand the removal of Brigadier General C. E. Sawyer, President Harding's physician, ^orm the position of supervisor of thp tion of wounded veterans, that it wfft reaffirm its position as to making American citizens out of immigrants and instructing them in the duties of citizenship. , Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of organized baseball and on outspoken friend of the veterans, wtyf to deliver an address to the contrsArt af his son who fought in France.

It is undeniably picturesque, this old Latin quarter. There is the ancient stucco arch of the building that once served as Spanish military headquarters, through which the troopers of the Kjbg of Spain rode into a courtyard,. Hfcirc they dozed and swore, gambled and exchanged reminiscences of gilis in Spain and others in America, after the immemorial habit of soldiers the world ever.
