A MASON D PRE, Hi:apmastkr. revolution.*’ To my mind, tko auggoatod method would ho moVh democratic and would at oaoo on* sure stability la the management of the common schools of tbo State. ; ^ Is there any reason why all * the text-boo ha of tbo State should bo subject to change la cam year? Would it not be better for this continuing hoard to dlvldo tbo text-hook list tato two or three parte and to consider changes by soetious at reasonable Intervals of time? A coatiauiag board could thus keep the text book list of the State abreast of tho times and make Improvements In school text books without sweeping changes. State Hupcriatessdeaa of B^catloo. Would it be wise for Clemson col lege. The Citadel^ Wlnthrop* Col lege, or the Ublversitp to elect its president every two years by a primary? The fact that no Instita- tion in the country^ has adopted such a method proves that -the weight of human wisdom ia agalnat it. No college could aurvive for five years such am ethod of selecting Its administrative head. Is there any reason whp the president of Wln throp college should be elected by its board of trustees, which does rot apply with multiplied force to the executive head of the common schools of the State, which concern 340.000 children* Is there any rood reason why a State board of education, selected by the represen tatives of the people, should not se lect the State superintendent of education, just as the Clemson col lege board or the Citadel board elects the executive head of these 1 .• titutiona?. !t is a mater of common knowl- O' n dge to one who has observed the p .mary election for State officers that popular Interest centres abont the candidates for one or two of fice only Even the speeches of other candidates in the campaign *rc merely tolerated by the assem bled citizens. The State siy>erintendent of ed ucation is one of the candidates a Ik at whom it is usually) difficult to arouse popular interest. Ip fact it Is ever* possible for an active friend of a candidate to go to a 'oiling place and secure two-thirds of the votes by a simple request. The following well authenticated in cident of a recent election illustrate this point: The candidates for State superin tendent had made speeches at a village in South Carolina At the close of the meeting one candidate waa doing some missionary work among the people. He found a local leader acd pressed upon him his claims for support. The local politician finally gave him this as surance: “I liked your speech and I hope I can do something for you. There is a scoundrel here that I am try ing to beat for trial justice, and if I can trade some and help you out I will do it.” , An election of the Stafte superin-< tendenc by the State board of edu cation as described above, will at once give dignity and stability to the office, and will Insure a con- tionuoua policy in the education o our children It is universally granted that the officers responsi ble for the financial policy of the State should have a stable tenure of position. It Is vastly more im portant that the education of our children should proceed with a de finite assurance of continuous de velopment. Why should our common school system offer the one except ion in our methods of dealing with State Inatltntions? I believe that the people of the State are ready for a constitutional amendment which will make possible these changes. Tbe necessity* tor som*- action in this direction has been pressed upon me by school patrons in every section of South Oarolina. They say it is absolutely necessary fof us to get our schools out of politics before they can progress satisfactorily. They sometimes add ‘‘but the politician will never let us take these offices out of poli tics.’' When I speak to the aver age member of the legislature, he tells me frankly, “I realize that the plan you suggest is necessary to au efficient school system, but the peo ple will never stand for it.” Each has misinterpreted the sentiment of tho other. The only way to have a complete understanding is through! a free open discussion. us . all express our opinions freely said arrive at a definite program of progress, W. K. Tale.

All was done that kind hearts an loving hands could do, but to no avail.

She waa joving and kind to all and a faithful member of the Bap tist church at Smoaks, in the cem etery of which she was laid to redl.
