% * i r ?l # PAPER I BY I'HOF. WII.L Our Schools. To-day in South Carolina are to he found very few people who would admit that they are unfriendly to j>opulur education, and fewer still who would admit that they are not friends to our common schools. The people of the State have just passed through a somewhat vigorous political campaign. In this, as in almost every such campaign, many of the candidates for office have taken occasion . to declare their deep interest in the common schools. The candidate "doth protest too much, methiuks," hut most of them arc entirely sincere in their declarations. Some of these men will soon occupy positions which will enable them to demonstrate their interest in onr schools, and their rapacity for improving them. Prqm Hit! outside it would seem that very lew of these men have made any careful analysis of the conditions of our schools, and certainly few have otVored any definite, practicable plan for their permanent improvement. Ily no means do I intend to cast any slur at these men. Perhaps it is asking too much of men busy with their own affairs and the affairs of the public, to stop to study the problems of education?a field broad and rich in vexatious questions. Perhaps, too, those who have studied these problems, and are familiar with the conditions, have been remiss in not tell-J ing the people frankly what they seel and know. For fifteen years this writer taught in the common schools of this State, and for seventeen yearsr he has tried to study the conditions which make for good or for evil in the educational system of the State. During tho past twenty-six months lie traveled more than thirty thousand miles inI hl> Rfnfo miles thi'ifugh the rural districts, unci visited not far from throe hundred schools in the State. He claims no wider or richer knowledge.of the conditions than Is possessed by scores of his fellow-workers. Yet he feels that he knows something of these conditio?^, and that he owes it to the pcoplo to set those conditions frankly before them. Let me say at the outset that. 1 have no disposition to forget, or to disregard the many good things in our schools. Or fo withold merited commendation anywhere, yet it is not my purpose to tax the reader's time aod patience with platitude and empty eulogies, so frequently indulged in by those who strive so diligently to blind themselves to our patent weaknesses. Our schools have been vastly improved within recent years. We should rejoice at their growth, and ever honor those who have contributed to that, growth. But we can not affofd to stop at that. It would be folly to assume that our schools, and our school system, are anything like perfect. Let us discover some of the glaring weaknesses, udmK what we discover, and set ourselves resolutely toward Improvement. Some of the most conspicuous weaknesses in our schools are these: I. Lack of funds sufficient to mainkUk ..1 ^ .... ~k v??u SVUOIH?; 2. Beggar)y salaries paid to teachers; 3. Too many incompetent teachers employed in our schools; 4. Short school terms, especilaly in the rural districts; t>. Poor school houses and poor equipment; ti. Neighborhood Jealousies and neighborhood quarrels; 7. Too many little hu If-supported schools; 8. Inadequate supervision of village and rural schools; 8. Non-attendance and irregular attendance of tbo pupils; 10. The missing link?tb# high school. I wish to discuss those features of our school system frankly, somewhat fully, and altogether dispassionately. I wish to avoid anything captious or hysterical. In those discissions, I beg to offer, as unobtrusively as I may, some suggestions as to remedies. For he is a poor physician who tells his patients that he Is sick, but offers neither to tell him what the disease is, nor to prescribe any remedy. I^ack of Funds. To maintain good schools requires motvey. They can not be run on ebullient sotitlmenf, nor will spasmodic charity keep them at a very high standard. Money Is absolutely necessary to build comfortable school houses, to furnish these, houses, to pay competent teachers, and to keep the schools open nine months in the year. What is South Carolina putting into her common schools, the training school of the future citizenship of the State? In 1 907, the State enrolled in the common schools 314,399 pupils, or about 18 per cent of her total population. Ofli these pupils was spent $l,41f?,724J or $4.60 per pupil. This $4.60 includes the expenditures on school houses, furniture, apparatus; libraries, and teacflfrrs' salaries. The average attendance upon the schools was, of course, much lower than 'the en* roHmcnt. therefore the amount epfent per pupil on the basis of attendance was larger?#6.37. In 1*0$.

In 1907, South Carolina spent for common school education 91 cents per capita of her total population. Tn 1900, Georgia s|)ent 98 cents; Virginia sjH'Mt $1.12; Mississippi, $1.15; Kentucky, $1.19; Tennessee, $1.4 9; Florida, $1.96; Maryland, $2.51; Wis cousin, $3.97; Minnesota, $4.41; New York, $6.27. If Virginia has found that it requires $11.05 per pupil to maintain her schools, is it reasonable to assume that South Carolina can maintain good schools on $0.37 per pupil? If Maryland is willing to invest $21.32 per pupil in her schools, she must be satisfied with her investment, for she hns been increasing the amount from year to year. The question at issue is not concerned with the relative wealth of these States. The question is this: If it pays to put $11.05 a year in the education of :? vin?iniii boy, does not a South Carolina boy J need or deserve more than $G.H7 in his education. God has done his part by The- South Carolina boy und gill; lias the State done its part? VctA people will udn-.it that our I school fund is insufficient. How tire we to increase it? Several plans have be? n offered, and several ways a *e open. Some of them, however, do not opjM'Hl to men of experience. Not a few people insist upon increasing the school fund by private subscription. This plan is inadequate and rather vicious in its effects. The public schools are supported primarily for the benefit of the State, rather than for the benefit of "the individual. If the support of the schools is dependent \ipon voluntary subscription, the less patriotic shirk their duty, and the burden falls upon the willing few. Hesides. such support is irregular, unstable, and uncertain. Frequently it is proposed by a few to iuoreaso the common school fund by direct appropriation from the State treasury. Unless such appropriation were made upon the condition that ouch district receiving its jmrt should first make a specific local effort, the result would be hurtful, as the districts would |toon come to look upon themselves |as beneficiaries of the State, and would cease to make any effort to Ihelp themselves. Only a few years ago one house of the Genera! Assembly passed a bill (knowing that it would fail to pass in the other house) appropriating $'JOO.OOO to the common. schools. How much relief would s*TK-h bum give to the schools? It would increase the fund only (ill cents per pupil on last year's enrollment. or $15.7r? to u school of U5 pupils. An appropriation of $?00,00<) disbursed in such way as to require the districts to raise in the upgregate something lilte $400,000 in local taxes, would be equitable and v ise. ! am at once reminded that this plan would not entirely relieve the strain in a few of the poorer counties, and I admit tt. Our present plan of collecting and apportioning the constitutional U-mlU school tax is not a democratic one. That tax Is collected and apportion*^ by counties. Some counties with poor land, lack of water power for manufacturing, and with no railroads to tax. are nt a decided isadvantage. It would have been unjust to have collected and apportioned that ft-mill tax as a State tax, but it would hove been just and democratic to have made two mills a county tax, as at present, and have mode the other mill a State tax. Then the stronger counties would have' been contributing a well-guarded tax for the support of tho weak counties. ?x> rar in mis state at leaf t, local taxation lias proted to be the best moans of increasing the school fund. It 1r equitable, it is stable, and it is certain until a majority of the people vote it off. It compels the unwilling few to bear their proportionate part of a legitimate and necessary community expense. The district which levies a local tax known just where every dollar comes from, ami just [where every dollar goes. Moreover, It is usually not very difficult to levy a local school tax, if there is only some safe person to lead, for as a rule the wealthiest persons in the district are the readiest to vote a local sc hool tax. Personally 1 am confident that the most just, equitable, and reasonable way to increase our school fund is to inaugurate a sensible and honest system of returning our property for taxation. When you compare the amount of school tax raised in South Carolina on each $100 of taxable property, with that of other States, the showing is very good. Hut when you stop to consider that our property has been returned at perhaps twenty-five per Cent of its true value, the showing is not good. The habit of returning a piece of property at one-fourth ita true value, then taxing It at 4 mills, Instead of returning It at something Hke Hs trhc value, the taxing it at one tall) to raise the same amount of money, fa hot only childish business practice, but it is a training school in dtebooefsty. Men ?rho ?#er to rfcttir*'' their property at something like its' true value are actually laughed-at for their artleeaaees. Civic honesty must decline under such vicious system. Were the real and personal property in this State returned at something like ninety per cent (and why should it not?) of its true value, the 3-rnill school tax alone would practically double our entire school revenue. In 1907, the land outside the incorporated towns in the prosperous, productive, and wealthy county of Anderson was returned for taxation at an average of $G.f> 1 per acre. Marlboro, one of the finest farming counties in the whole South, returned her land at an average of $5.2S an acre. Orangeburg is justly proud of her farm land, but she returned hers at $3.5 4 an acre. Williamsburg has some poor land, but she has some of the finest fields of cotton and tobacco to bo found in the State; on the tax books her land is rated at an average of $2.09. In these very counties I have been shown land whose owners would not sell for $3 0, $40, and even $00 an acre. In one of these counties is a school district containing nearly 45,000 acres of land, yet the etiro real and personal property of *tho district is returned at $100,000. What would a 4-mill school tax mean to that district? Increasing the tax levy while we reduce the valuation of our property reminds one ol the policy of the master who undertook to punish his thievish coachman by periodically stealing hack from the coachman what the coachman had | nioit'ii irum iiiM iiiciait'r.

Considerable interest will be Treated by the forthcoming discussion in the Prussian Parliament, or Ladtng, f the Kaiser's request tor an increase of salary. Wllhelm II, as Herman emperor, receives au annua) grant of only $400,000 from the Slate. His salary as King of Prussia is more in keeping with his needs, the amount being $:i,500,000. During the twenty years of his reign the Herman emperor has received many legacies from wealthy subjects. In this respect he Is the luckiest of all monarchs, for he has benefitted to the extent of nearly $0,00 0,000 in hard cash, and, in addition, several tine estates have been left to him. The Kaiser's mode of living is one of unparalled magnificence. Ho is a connoisseur in the art of choosing apparel and in the art of wearing it to the best advantage, and his tailor's bill mils into thousands of dollars. His majesty possesses sufficient castles, palaces and "country houses to cuubic bim to live in a different one each week of the year, if he should feel so dispoM?d. When he travels nothing that may lend splendor and impress!veness to his progress is overlooked* and here many Germans see an opportunity for their |king to economise: they would prefer him to omit some of the pomp and cereinouy which surrounded him ivrw-u .lourut'yinp; ui nis own icitim, , One of the disadvantages tin dor which (he German emperor labors is that ho must provide for his family out of his own income. In Hngland, on the contrary, each member of the royal family receives a yearly grant of $500,000 or over from the State, while King K-dward himself gets $2,3 50,000. Of this sum barely onefourth goes into his majesty's own purse, as be defrays *he salaries and expenses in connection wfth the royal house-hold, and also provides pension for his superanuatod servants. The Com* Is the richest monarch in the world. In his case the crown properties actually belong to him. These impiral domlns include more than 20.000,000 acres of cultivated land* nud improved forests, as well as sevral Siberian mines. A state granof ' $7,500,000, added to his other revenues, brings the Czar's gross Income up to $4 0,000,000 a year. Out of this sum, however, he has to bear all the "expenses of his great estates. No data of any kind are available regarding the amount of clear protit which the Gear received, but b?? has $25,000,000 a. year for bis private use. PAVING HIS VICTIMS.

CAUSc OF FLOODS. | WOHK FX)Il APPALACHIAN PARK HILL RECALLED. I Present Flood Might Have Reen Ihv-| vented Had the Kill lloen Passed When it Was First Introduced. Th" Washington correspondent of I Tho News and Courier says the loss I of many human lives and the destruclion of thousands of dollars' worth I of property throughout the Southern] States because of the (toons now pre- j vailing would probably not be wit-] nessed to-day had Congress passed ] the White .Mountain and Appalachian] forest reserve bill a few years ago, | for which so hard a fight has been] waged.On the other hand,such condi-] ions as are now b"ing seen will neces-j sari I j continue until the lawmakers of] the land realize that only with the] passage of such a bill and the conse-] quent holding of the waters to Mow] off into their outlets in a natural way I will such terrible floods stop. ; The tight that was made at the] last session of Congress and at the I two or three sessions before by ad-l voeates of the White Mountain and J Appalachian Park reserve bill is well] remembered. Led by Itepresolatives I Currier, of Vermont, and Lever, of I South Carolina, everything possible] was done to have such a bill enacted I into law, but even with the great I tight that was made for its successl could not be had. Just as it seemed] that success was in sight Represent a-| ive Bart lot t, of Ceorgin, adroitly took | the matter out of the hands of the] House eonimitttee on agriculture by J a resolution placing it. with the com-] niittee on the judiciary, giving the] latter committee full power and au-j thorlty to go into the question ol' the] bill' constitutionality It was at first] believed that Mr. Hart let t was favorable to the measure and really desired to test the constitutional questions so that such matter could not be raised on the Moor of the House j when it came to a vote, but it was nil unri| turn n u im~w vi'i t'U vaiil 111^ [i\n pose was to effectually delay notion for the session. The judiciary committee took up i he Currier bills, and after considering them for some time passed a resolution to the effect that if the purpose of the bills were to further navigation then it would he constitutional, otherwise not. That was a step in the passage of the measure, but so complicated was the situation towards the closing days of ho session that nothing could ho done towards securing its passage then. The trouble about these bills, however. which has been of more coiasequenco than the action of Mr. Bartlett. is the fact that SpeqUer Cannon, even in the face of the strogest appeals. has absolutely refused to permit them to come to a vote. Downs of delegates from both the New Kngland and Southern States called on him publicly and privately during the last session of Congress und pleaded with him to yield in his position and allow the matter to come to a vote; to let the Representatives of the poopie express their views on the floor of the House by their votes, but nothing PA II1/1 nhaACTA h?m k!>. *.A/i?rv? v iitlUi iXVV > \'\i U4t> m'Ol friends in Congress could have the least possible influence upon him. He not only told those Rcprcsetativcs who begged him to let the matter come to a vote, but the various delegations also, that us long as he was Speaker he would recoguiw no one for that purpose. That was the situation at the close of the last session of Congress. Representatives Lever and [Currier were pledged to their poeple to secure the passage of the bill at all hazards, and the failure to secure favorable action cannot be placed to their account., . v . ^ * The lives that are being lost every' year in the South by reason of the floods that sweep through the mountain country into the streams of the lowlands are Southern lives, but the milions of dollars of property that go to destruction represent the interests of people in every part of the United tates. It is not only Southern money that goes into the South's cotton mills bleacheries and other manufacturing industries, but Northern money and Kasterrn money is invested there also. It is not known just what line of procedure the two Congressmen most-* ly interested in this "measure will adopt at the coming ssesion of Congress to effiK-t its passage, if possible, but it is reasonable, to assume that mcy win not omy continue, their work of former years In the interest of the White Mountain and Appalachian Park country, but that they will redouble their efforts along this line and bring all the pressure to l>oar on Speaker Cannon to have him yield hi| position and allow the matter at least to come squarely and fairly before Congress for a vote.

Good Work It is IHjing for the Schools* of the State. More and more the University authorities are striving to link the institution to the common schools of the State. Several members of fhe present faculty have been closely identified \\i:h the common uciioolsteaching in the State and county schools for teachers, addressing teacher bodies and the public on school matters. Realizing that the high school situation in the State was fur from satisfactory, the Hoard of Trustees a little more than two years ago established in the University a chair of secondary education, and called to it a man who had taught for nearly twenty years in the common schools, most of that time in South Carolina. Prof. Hand began by giving half of his time to teaching in the institution,and the other half to field work over the State. Within less than a year the demand for his time was so heavy that from that time since lie has given almost his entire time to this high school work over the State. In the mean time the legislature has appropriated $ a 0.0 0 0 annuaiiv to aid the high schools, and the State Hoard of Kducation made Prof. Hand its State Inspector, further linking the institution to the chools. There are now in round numbers one hundred State aided high schools tow and rural. These schools are getting the benefit of his service in building ourses'of study, classfying their work and urging on the improvement of those schools. For the first time in the history of the Stater ail the colleges and the public at large have access t<? detailed tabulated information as to the actual work done in all the high schools of th<* State. The volume rit correspondence and the number of bulletins of information which pass through this oflice are h?T?v; . and an' growing almost dally. This department of the University is devoted to the educational interest of he State rather than to the individual interest of this Institution.

Judpo Hammond is rccogniticd as an expert on the subject of feeding st ock. "When the farmers of the south learn to use more of their cotton products, learn to feed their horses and stock with cotton seed products, it will mean millions of dollars to the south, part of which every farmer will save for himself. No report has ever shown that injury to u horse has been a result of t'?-edJug cotton seed meal. Feed it every day. That's what I do. It is not a hot or a cold climate feed. Feed not less than one r>oand nor more than three, the amount to be determined by the age, slao and work of the animal. Not only Is it the most nntrttioun food but it greatly aids the digesting general health and good appearance of the animal.
