Superintendent of- Education J. K.; Swearlngen and Prof.. D. W. Daniel ot Clemson College, member from this congressional district of the State Hoard of Education, were In Anderson? yesterday for the pur pose of making an inspection of An derson College, with a view of report ing ut the next meeting of tho State Hoard of Education upon the proposi tion of placing this institution* on the "accredited list." Were the college to be placed upon th? .'accredited 1 lat** of the State Hoard of Education It would mean* that graduates of this institution would he awarded certifi patea to teach In thin State without having first to stand the teachers' ex amination. The next meeting of the State Hoard of Education will bc hold April 6, and while Mr. Hwoarlagen waa not in a position to state what the board would do 'with reference to th? matter of putting the intnltutlon cn the "accredited "list," one would infar from his remarks about what he observed at the college that there will bo no trouble about the college being -givi-n that recognition. Mr. Swearlngen said that he came to Anderson expecting to lind a splen did institution, and that he had every expectation fully realized. He spoke in most complimentary terms v>f the college, laying particular stress on the physical feu tu res of the institu tion. With reference to the academic features of tho institution her said thut on the teaching staff 'there waa a reasonable number of experts for the size of the college. Taken on the whole, he raid, the plant ls one of the 'best in the State, and lt? expressed a desire to see it have an endowment of $250,000 or $300,000. He said that the college was plenty large to accomo date 250 or 300 young ladles. Mr. Swearlngen took accesi?n tb say that tho schools of the county un der Mr. Kelton's supervision are mak ing great progress. Ho stated that the 32 schools in the county having two and three teachers are doing as good work as they can do. He thinks all of the schools having one teacher should be abolished. He hopes this will come about in Anderson County before any great length of time. Mr. Swearlngen says it would bo wise for the people of the county to instruct the county legislative delega tion to-work to have the laws govern ing high schools changed so that tney woutd not operate against country children. He says high schools are needed where the children are living, and it is. strange to say that the law provides that when a town has more than 2,500 In populat'on the high scboul. in that town cannot get State aid..He sr.ys the high school law needs changing in two places, and that, tho change:* -would certainty work for the' good of the entire school system.

G. Wilson, IU ter.-ta te Y. M. C. A. secretary for tho Carolinas, announced certain changes in the mode of conducting thc work here, which will be in ef fect for the next few months, or until linuucial corni lt ion i are improved. Foremost In importance and Inter est to thc general public of the an nr.uncemouts made by the directora was the resignation of General Secre tary F. M. Burnett, who has servoo* the association splendidly in all re ipects since he became affiliated with the association more than a year ago Mr Burnett's resignation, how aver, waa placed before thc directors in order thut he might lie free to ac cept another position In a larger fltold', ta mi-; h of a different nature from Y.

Close Up Building. To this end it was deoided that the association home, on West Barle street, would be closed immediately and that a successor to Mr. Burnett would not bo chosen tor the present. Mr. Wilson, Interstate secretary, suggested that until financial condi tions would warrant a cacvasc for funds for the association's own building, the work ot the association in Anderson be limited to a work primarily for boys, an dthe present work be merged into what is gen erally known as "Community Boys Work." Mr. Wiljon recommended that this arrangement he perfected as early as' practicable. The suggestion met with the unanimous approval ol the board of directors, and such a policy will be pursued until funds can be raised for an association building In Anderson commensurate with the size and the importance Ot the town and for again employing a general secretary.

As an evidence of Rock Hills ap preciation ot this work, Mr. Wilson pointed ont, in a ?recen*; three-day campaign the sum' ot $0,000 was con tributed for the support ot ?ho work sund?n g the financial for the next twa. years, notwith standing the financial depression ex isting there as elsewhere over tho country and tho additional condi tions brought ubout by a aerare hail storm over that seciftra ot the- gbjAa (COKTIKUKD ON PACTE TWoT^""
