SWEARINGEN SAYS ED UCATION FARED WELL AT HANDS OF LEGISLATURE WAGE CAMPAIGN AMONG THE CITIES Will Urge Early Action Toward Putting Into Effect Compulsory Attendance Law-Suggests Elections ir? Charleston and Columbia Next Summer (The Slut*'.) "Thu educational Interests of tho Stated fared well at tho hand* of thc legislature," ?aid J. ES. Swearingen, State superintendent of education, yesterday, in commenting upon tho work of the general assembly. "Two Statewide mensure? of over shadowing Importance to the schoolB were enneted-compulsory education and liberal appropriations. Though the compuh'ory attendance law is not all that was desired, lt marks the bc xlnnlnR of a thoroughly progreFsive policy. The school district is properly made the unit for the operation of this law. Hs adoption In any district ia left absolutely to the wishes of the people. This local provision will al low any community a chance to test the law for Itself. "Compulsory attendance may be In troduced In throe ways: "1. Upon the petition of a majority of .tho qualified electors residing In tho district. "2. Upon a petition of one-fourth of the qualified electors residing In a district, nBking for an election on the subject, at which election u majority vote for compulsory attendance is se cured. "3. In (owns and cities of 1,500 or more population, upon a petition of a majority of the school trustees, ask ing for an election, at which election a majority vote for compulsory at teudance must be secured. Charleston and Columbia. "It is confidently expected that a large number of school districts will petition themselves under tb ? law un der the first option. An ennui num ber of districts will ask for an elec tion and vote themselves under thc law by the second option. About 50 towns and cities Bhould be able to take advantsge of the third option. The board of trustees In each ot these niu nlelpr.lttios will be urged by the State ( department of education tn hold an t election or request compulsory nt- j tendance in their district''. I should like to see Charleston and Ciiolmbia voto upon Cuts question for thdr L schools on th? second Tuesday of next j ? June. It is almost certain that both cities will undertake a prompt cam paign for compulsory attendance, lt ? ls certain that some of thc smaller [ cities will begin this campaign with- t out delay. "The age of compulsory attendance ls.from 8 to 14 years. Tho term in country schools ls four months. In town schools attendance is required for the entire session. '.Adequate appropriation! for pub- . He school activities were provided. 1 : Special attention to country schools Is noteworthy. The appropriation fer rural schools employing two teachers or three teachers was raised from $60,000 to 1.80,000. The fund for spe cially needy rural schools was raised from $45.000 to $C0,000. Doth these appropriations will be used to supply at least one teacher for evory 50 ohli u<en anc' to run each white school at least ?Ix months, where trustees, patrons end teachers will cooperate with the county superintendent and the State superintendent. "The building fund of 320,0000 was retained. This will help t*> provide at leaat 80 new school houses during tho year. Mill School Supervisor. "One of the most significant Im provements ls the authorization of a State supervisor of mill schools. He will he the sp?cial representatives ot the Stato department of education in mill villages and manufacturing cec "ters. Ho will reach one-fifth of the white people of tho state and will have a wonderful opportunity for con structive service. NO richer or broad- i er field of public school effort could be opened in the State "With liberal appropriations, aggre gating nearly $300.000 tor the year, the continued development of public schools is assured. The colleges farea equally as well. Wralhrop got her gymnasitun, together with a large amount for maintenanc e. Tho-univer sity waa given, an extension ot its, heating plant, together w??h a larger amount tor maintenance The Citadel a?d the Medical College of Charleston were maintained at a maximum stand ard of efficiency. The school for the deaf and the blind at Ceder Springs waa given $22 ?00 to complete ita much-needed prlmary building already under way. The State colored college waa likewise maintained on ita pres ent basis. "Clemson was, nf course, asking nothing for support. Hut the exten sion work of Clemson will he strengt* thened by th? $15,391 appropriation for demonstration work, and $30,000 for cattle tick eradication. The col lege waa also allowed to ??preow near ly $30.000 on the credit rt the Slate, though this loan ls to be repaid later iron? the fertiliser tax. "In tht nggretat-j the appropria tions for State college ) will exceed $?25,000, tho largest ever given In any one year. "Some of the county delegauahe strengthened their . county depart ments cf education. This improve ment in public .ichnol organization nd administration will mean mere to he' country schools than anything SCHOOLS I AND WISE .lac except money, ftlna .?> per cont ?f our Behool population must bc In U meted In the "even elementary tradefl, this tendency to put the of fice of thc county superintendent on i better financial und profession basis ShOWfl that tho lawniak-'ra are studying the fundamental problems if our educational system." 5.++++..-+++e^-fr*+++++ I* + t_ f j Personal f r+++++4I 4*?+?a?eW?-M* Mis?

Cotton and Corn We are recommending our 8-2 J-1, which is 8 per cent, phosphoric acid, 2? per cent, ammonia, and one per cent. Potash, for cot ton and corn. We employ a chemist at the Fertilizer Mill all the time to analyze every thing before it goes out, to see that all our goods are at least as good as they should be before they are shipped out, and our 8-2J-1 analyzes 9.25, 2.72, 1.45. So you see you are getting a better goods than we claim it to be and a better goods than you pay for. But that is the way we do business. Mr. Long, the farm demonstrator for the State, says the farmers of this section can make at least one good crop without applying any more potash. But it sometimes happens when you install a pump in a well, it is necessary to pour a little water down it to get it to pump water, and we have an idea that a little pot ash in your fertilizer will make that in your soil a little more quickly available. And then you have the satisfaction o? knowing that you have some potash under your crops be cause you have put some there, and safet}' first is the plan. So we are earnestly recommending our 8-2 J-1 for-y our co \ and corn this year. You are really getting 9.25-2.72-1.45, but that is your good fortune. The most of you have been fertilizing heavily for some years and we are satisfied this goods will give your crops a good "send off." It is a choice goods.
