In h"s annual report made public '1 uesday State Superintendent of Edu cation O. B. Martin makes a number of important and some of them radical recommendations, as follows: Superintendent Martin discusses the Aull library act, passed by the last legislature, and reoommends that it continue in force with certain improve ments which he proposes. The law at present provides that when the friends or patrons of a school have raised $10 by prlva1 subscription for the pur pose of a library, the amount of $10 for said library shall be appropriated from the funds of the district in which the school is located and the same amount from a fund set apart by the State, making $80 for each count". Only twelve schools in eac'i county may avail themselves of the privileges of the aot during any one year. The law went into operation this year, and a large number of free school libraries have been established under Its pro visions. The report recommends that the time be extended when a dlstric'. may vote a special tax. That a school building law, based on the law of self-help, be enacted. It is earnestly recommended that the dignity and the salary of the office of county superintendent of education be improved. That the establishment of county high schools with Industrial features be begun. That an educational commission to rewrite the school law be appointed. That the South Carolina Military Academy, at Charleston, and the South Carolina College, at Columbia, be com bined, forming the South Carolina Uulversity. That South Carolina Day be observed In the public schools. That legal enrollment for attendane upon public night schools bo allowed.
