The figures of the Unitetl Stitt es ceiisus, not yet available, will doubtless al'ord material for an Inst, uctive study of the relative illiteracy of persona4 in and out-of the mills and the relative school opporttianties of their children It Is withiu the prov-ince of the State Sti perintendent of Education to investigate this, as.*ell as all other phases and prob lemas of education in the State. and to present the facts for the information of the Legislature and the peoplo. To this end I have wished that I euhlli tind time 'I*on the numerous ether dutics (if this lce to make a. )Crsollil inspectionl) of the schools attended by mill chi dren: to inq'i're into the education aid -,n oral condition of the children employed a opt ratives in tie mill Is ani to lrn, through conversations, the opin0ions of the employers respecting the adequate training of these chilh en at 'the age which should be given to trainiig rather than to man's wotk for bread. . In the fields, as well as in the mills, there is a deplorable tendency on the part of many parents !o sh ilt their owii immediate burdens and re'spons3i)ibilit ie, to the shouldeis of their dependeiit young, whom they seem to lo k upo-n rather as servants than as clrIn to ho nurtured.

"Sarge Piunkett," in writing to the AthLti tmstitutioni about somi1e of the things observed oi Christmas day, gives the follo.ving story: To start at the beginni)g, I would have to go back tothe hills from whentce flows the Saluda river, in Grecnville Countv, South Carolilt, to a period of over twenty yearlts ago. About this time tiere lived Some ten or twelve miles from the village of Oreenville a. fatally, recently moved into our conimuniti , to await tio startittg or the George W. wott factriy. Their home in South Carolina was not so humble as tie one they now occupy, nor were their circumstances so di-tressed.
