Anent the discussion now gping on in reference to the scholarship matter as before the legislature am which is being discussed at some length, jhe following comments are most pertinent, and seem unaoswer able. The University Weekly News •rt; • v . ‘‘Just nt present there seems to be r.hroad in South Carolina a con certed movement to attack the giv- ‘ng of free scholarships at state in stitutions. The mooted nocstion pf ~~ free tuition at State institutions has also coinv* in for considerable cri|!- cTsm. The real point at issue has be«n oh«cured by much speaking and w'ritin* on many topics, which while 'n»eresttng and important In them selves. are not germane to the issue, •‘Two single facts undented and undeniable, seem altogether to have been lost sight of. and these fact* are the most important in the whole discussion: 1st. South Carolina ts the next most illiterate-state In the Union, and every possible plan look ing to a wider and more thorough “duration of the youth of the State, should receive the unstinted and im mediate sunoort of every man, wo- .an and child. •‘2nd. Under the present system of collegiate institutions, only one out of eight high school students over get to college at all, Seven- eights of the high school students n»ver reach college. It seems rea sonable that instead of disputing as to how the one-eighth should be por tioned out among tjie different col leges. the sole and single aim of til the educational forces of the State should unite in the effort to reach s «* other seven-eights. It may be noted in passing that every argument •*gainst free tnltion in the colleges can be used—and hag been used— with equal force to oppose free tnl tion in the primary and second a rv schools. • •» “It will he remembered that In •sst week's issue of the University Weekly News tt was noted that *nnth Carolina is one of the.ontv f lve states which charge tuitionf the -♦her four being Vermont. North Carolina. Ohio and South Dakota.” In this connection.
