GET GOOD RESULTS IN GHT SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT SWEARINGEN DISCUSSES THE FIELD FOR WORK. DISPAICHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina People, Gathered Around the State Capital. Columbia. John E. Swearingen, state superin tendent of education, has prepared for .~publication the following discussion of the excellent work by and the great need for night schools for illiterate adults in the state: One of the most significant educa tional efforts of recent years is the night school for adults. Sporadic and Isolated attempts in this direction have been made in many comenunities at different times. For years Columbia has maintained a successful and ser viceable night school. Other locali ties have undertaken night school work in the form of social service or community betterment. Hit the real development of an earnest effort in this neglected field is due to Miss E4. Julia Selden of Spartanburg and Miss Will Lou Fray of Laurens. Work in Spartanburg. It is interesting now to recall Miss Selden's pioneer service among the mill schools- of Spartanburg. A grad uate of Converse College. a teacher of successful experience, a young woman of wealth and refinement, Miss Selden undertook this difficult service for the mere joy of helping others. She turn ed immediately to the wh4tened felds stretching along her pathway, enlist ing the co-operation of mill presidents and superintendent, she secured con tributions and organized a volunteer corps of teachers. Her enthusiasm was contagious and won the confi - dance of the people she was trying - - to help. Her work was merged in the statewide effort that came in 1916. Night Schools in Laurens. About the same time Miss Wil Lou Gray. rurr.' school supervisor of Lau rens county, organired a group of rura' night schools in Ybung's township. Her experiment was similar to the moonlight schools of Kentucky. The cold wet nights of the winter were al most void of moonlight, but this un propitious circumstance could not dampen Miss Gray's ardor. Young lady teachers and stalwart adult far mers showed what could be accom plished in the rural night school where the instructors are anxious to help and the instructed are anxious to learn. Gray hatred men who had for years made their mark, soon learned to write their names. At the spring field day celebration the most inter esting and interested group of pupils was the enthusIastic bunch f-om the nightt school. Other counties hearing of the suc cess of the experiment in Laurens undertook night schools the following year. The state-wide agitation that resulted was another contribution that influenced the legislature to give fi nancial support to the work. Approved by Legislature. The first legislative approval of night school activities was shown by the appropriation of $5,000 in 191ti. The state superintendent was author ized to under-take the wvork wherever, -whenever and however it was deemed advisable. The magnitude of the task had already been recognized by earn est teachers everywhere. The federal census of 1910 hadl shown that 10 per cent of our white population and 38 por cent of our negro populat ion are Illiterate. Since the census deflnition of illiteracy ilncludes any person bare ly able to read and write, these fig uros indlicatedl an equal proportion of both wvhites and blacks who wvere only a little remnovedl from the line of illit eracy. To p~ut it in rournd numbers, one-fourth of our adultlt p~oputlationi was illiterate andl another fourth was bare ly literate. To at tempt to remedy this situation with $5,000 was a quixotic undertaking. But a beginning had to be made. Interest ed workers every where organized night schools. Suc cessful classes were conducted by hun dreds of teachers without pay as well as by a few teachers with pay for noth ing above expenses. Night schools were operated in cities, towns, mill villages and rural distrcts. The most reliable and avail able data reported to the state super intendent's office showed 5,000 adults under instruction. The rep~orts in dicated that each dollar had been the moans of teaching one man on the average to write his name. The state dlepartment of education considered the experiment a stat-wide success. New Enterprises Authorized. The Greenville Anmusem;ent Com pany of Greenville was commissioned -with a prop..sed capital stock of $50, 000, the petitioners being W. C Cleveland, A. L. Mills and S. A.

Greever, D.D., Of Columbia, who is directing the camipaign for Lutheran soldiers and sailors' war relief fund in New York. emphasiz.ng that the caIipaign had lwon brought, to a conclusion with magnificent results. The $50. 000 desired was readily subscribe( and the national Lutheran comnis sion for solders' and sailors' welfare has assurance of subscriptions from other sources to carry the fund easily beyond $1,000,000,000. It is estimated that 100,000 Lutherans are in the (if forent branches of the service and the welfare of those in army camps both in America and in France will not be neglected. The work includes the provision of regular chaplains and a large equip mert for them; salaries and equip mont for special chaplains in camps where no Lutheran church is near; as sistance and workers for churches near camps; assistance to local work of synods, conferences and Inner Mis sion societies; erection of church buildings in camps- civilian chaplains and workers and equipment in France; almost endless quantities of literature for congregations, homes and 100,000 men; final reconstruction work; the cost of administration. Dr. Greever as widely and intimately i:nown thrcughout the Unite(d States in connecton with his editorial -lut ies for Lutheran publications. Ile is an ardent student and works pordigious iy on all tasks which he undertakes. Liked McGowan's Speech. Admiral Sam McGowan has received the following from Secretary Baker regarding the ad(dress which the former made in the state house at Columbia a short time ago: "There has just conic to my desk a report of your address at the state house in South Carolina. You must but I appreciate yet more the spirit of co-operation and of team play that will carry us triumphantly through this undertaking." To this Admiral McGowan replied: "I was gratified beyond expression to receive your letter in regard to what I said to the South Carolina legisla ture a few days ago with respect to the many big things that the army -s doing in slc(h a big way. "I have taken the liberty of inak ing a copy of your letter, sir, and am sending the same with a copy of this my answer, to every one of the officers and principal workers of the bureau of supplies and accounts so that they may enjoy with me the gracious words with which you have seen fit to speak of our spirit of co-operation. the particular purpose of insuring from this time forward even more (o. operation with the army If such he possible." These notes are not only interest ing but Important at this time as in dicating the entire harmony which pre vails between the army and navy in the effort of each to win the war. What A School Can Do. The idea of what can he accomplish ed by the schools is contained in a letter addressed to the food ('onlservo tion office at Columbia by C. If.

In this letter Mr. Witt wvrites: "We have inlauguratedl the food ('On. servation program here with great suces The children seem enlthulsia. tI and11( self-sacrifleing ill their en1 dleavOrs to follow the instruc'tions ii. suedl by the food adlminlistration.

STATE FUNDS APPROPRIATED Community, County, and State Co-op erate in Providing Means for New Structures. Columbia.-In the public school see tion of the general appropriation bill one of the most helpful items provides $50,000 to aid in the erection of school houses. This law was enacted in 1910 with an initial appropriation of $20,000. The building fund has been renewed ,annually since except in 1913, when State aid was withheld by the legi lature. Rural District Benefited. The greatest beneflciaries of the State and county school building acts are the rural districts. Under these laws any community desiring a new school building must supply fron Feg ular or extra sources 5o per cent. of the cost. The enunty supplies 25 per cent and the State 25 per cent. The aiount of extra aid allowable from the county can not exceed $300. In case of consolidation, a 1)onu8 of $50 may be added. The amount of State aid is also limited to $300 except in the case of consolidation when a bonus of $50 may likewise be added. Thus a rural district erected a1 new school house at the cost of $1.200 furnish'. $600. receives $300 from the count v and $300 from the State. If the schools or two districts consolidate, the (om1 munity supplies $ti60. the county $35, and the State $350. School House Construction. Many boards of trustees have built or will build in spite of this increased cost. Every day brings to the State sup)erintendent's office new buildingI applifcat ions. One colinty superintend ent writes that nine new school hotises must be paid for partly by State aid this spring. This Is an exceptional demand from one county, but every indication l)oints to the exhaustion of the State fund as usual. A brief summary of State building aid during the last eight years shows how much has been accomplished and how much remains to be done: Build- Appro ings.
