It is foolish for any of them to neglect to raise a full supply of food crops. ' Let us ask Horry County tobacco I growers to try to specialize on raising a high grade of the weed.

The people loaned their means during the war. The war Is over but we have not yet paid in full for the victory wo won. This fifth loan must be made by the people and we predict that it will go over the top with plenty to spare; ano that Horry County will take her full share of the loan. * A r " ? ^, ? ^ in 1 poor leaf c We use for Burley, But We put milli every year, ii patiently ripe: There arc q teeth in.

Teachers arc being paid j more money, others are being releas- j e.? from war service, and while there J is still to be a scarcity of teachers, i the situation is much improved, and new laws enacted by the 1919 General Assembly, will result in even bet-, tee conditions with regard to public instruction. High school teachers in the state I are being paid more money than last year. Practically all of the high school assistants of the state are women, and the new high school act provides them better pay. Superintendent Swearingen, of the state education department, announces that there are now nearly 8,000 pupils enrolled in high schools. The women who teach these young people have heretofore received a maximum pay of $55 a month. Under the new law they may receive as much as $75 per month. In every instance the contract between the local board of trustees and the teacher was accepted as the basis of state high school aid. The salary agreed upon by the trustees and the teacher constitutes the basis for the payment of this aid. Among the 119 schools these salaries ranged from $40 per month to $75 per month. Not a few boards of district trustees report salaries ranging from $75 to $100. In every such case the overplus is paid from district funds rather than from state funds. The salary of the lowest paid high school assistant is the basis for all state aid. The new high school law, therefore, contemplates a minimum high school salary of $95 per month. | In case the same high school assistant returns for the session 1919: 1920 he may be paid $80 if the board 'of district trustees considers such a salary appropriate and desirable. If this same assistant returns for the j session 1920-1921, the maximum sal-i \ \ 1 -j ry may be $85 per month on the j | ame condition. This policy of recog- | izing tenture and service in the ame class i*oom will tend to strenghen and stabilize all high school rork. The revised and liberalized high chool aid of 1919 carries an appro- I nation of $100,000. The state oard of education reserved $5,943 to ay the office and traveling expenes of the high school inspector and r. maintain the normal classes in ap roved high school. The University : South Carolina lends to the state card of education its professor of * ccondary education to serve as high ( chool inspector. Prof. J. A. Stod- ' ard was elected to this position ' ipon the resignation of Prof. W. H. 1 land last fall. Ten normal classes 1 ii approved high schools are author- ' icd under the present iaw. For the 1 ast three years successful normal 1 lasses have been conducted in the igh schools at Walhalla, Orange- J urg and Conway. Each instructor { eceivcs an annual salary of $1,200. ! ^hc state board is planning to es- 1 ablish other normal classes in the 1 all. If this program is carried out, ' lie reserved balance will be fully <jxausted before Christmas. The state duration department sent out $94,- ( 57 of this money for better high chools recently. Outside Enrollment. Under the new high school act, any igth, ninth, tentli, or eleventh grade I tupil may enroll free in any state ; if led high school, unless the district ri which such pupil lives maintains ] .1 ready a recognized high school, 'his provision has induced many ; right boys and girls to utilize the < dvantages of stronger high schools < o neighbomig districts. The relorted liigh school enrollment for the ear is 7,927. Of this number 1,411 ome from adjoining or outlying disricts. These pupils have inade- | |uate school facilities in their home listric.ts and would be defiled high chool advantages but for this pro- ; ision of the high school act. Labor 1 onditions interferred with the en- < ollment and attendance of boys this j rear. The figures for a normal year ; ?/ould show not only a large high j chool enrollment, but a large pro- j >ortion of pupils from outlying terri- ; ory. The revised high school act of i 919 relieves many communities of ] he pressure of this outside enroll- i rent by providing a payment of $.'1 ( )er month for such pupils.
