valo girl be is convinced boin from
employers and tho girls themselves
timi he bas dually laid tho founda
tion for a suecessfu!, practical solu
tion of the vexed negro servant pro
blem m ibis State, and if tlie experi
ment proves a success here it will be
"a go" throughout the Sont li. After
repeated failures during four years'
lu.rd work the commission is nov: sa
tisfied that success is al hand.
The first experiments ulong this
line were with foreign-speaking peo
ple, and in every case this proved a
failure. These are the kind ol' lore
ign servants thal are bein}; placed to
a largo extent tn tho North. Com
missioner Watson then concluded
that this section would have lo have
a higher typo than ls used In the
North in order to supplant the negro,
who is daily growing more useless
exacting and thal tho new servants
must speak lOnglish. Ile was further
persuaded that, the newcomers lu or
der to be satisfied tnomselves and
render satisfactory service would have
to be in touch tv I th Ibo other mem
bers ol' their families, so as lo give
the hume tench and alleviate the so
cial alienation which had made other
experiments with lOngllsh-speaklng
girls l'a i lures. Vocordingly persis
tent, energetic work was carried on
in thc desirable tarin section of Bn
gland with literature, lectures and
personally conducted lours with big
vam-.
The thirty-three lOnglish people
brought here less than a month ago
and localed In and around Columbia,
lOdgcdold, Abbeville, Greenville and
elsewhere in the State, have ail writ
ten letters to thc depart ment express
ing satisfaction, and Ovory girl sci
located has written letters through
the department to friends and rela
tives abroad; Urging them to come
OU to South Carolina and live.
