HIGH SCHOOL LAW IS DEFECTIVE Superintendent Hand Writes of Present Status of the! High Schools, Showing that the Towns and Cities of over 2500 Inhabitants are Discriminated Ag?iinst. Columbia, S. C, January 5th, li>12. Editor The Advertiser:?As you doubtless know, the high school law of this state prohibits the state board of education from giving any part of the high school appropriation to a school located in a town of over 2,500 popu lation. For three years 1 have tried to get this restriction removed, but so far I have not been successful. I am sending you enclosed an extract from my annual report which is now iu tbo press. Since your town is denied the benefits of the high school appropriation, you will doubtless be Interested In some of these figures. I hope so! and I trust that you will publish iu your next Issue as much of this extract as you think proper, in order to get the matter before your delegation to the general assembly. I ask this in behalf cf your own high school. Very truly yours, YV. H. IIAND. In bin annual report to the Legislature, Mr. \V. II. Hand. State .High School Inspector, has this to say in regard to the high school appropria tion, from which it will be gathered that the high schools of Laurens and Clinton are barred: I cannot refrain from calling attention once more to one of the defects of the high school law?the unwise and harmful discrimination against a cer tain class of schools. No more blatant demagognery was ever preached than that which foBters the disruption of the ties of a homegoneous people, if our state is ever to achieve that omlnenco which we profess to believe is here, it must come through the united efforts of a united citizenship; It will never come through jealousy and suspicion and selfishmenss. If we are to develop a school system, that Bystem must be the fruitage of co-operation and justice. The state is presumably engaged In building better schools for all the children of the state wherever they may be. The Insignificant high school appropriation could not support the high schools of the stiite; it Is simply used as a stimulus. Vet, because of their population twenty-live places In the state and 3,225 white children (37 per cent) cur not be reach ed, notwithstandlnm the fact that these same places contribute $84,636.12 of their school taxes to other communities. This discrimination might be de fended were it true that to aid the larger places would be to rob the smaller I places, or that to aid both would make the high school a| propriution exorbi tant. Neither is true; in fact, a part of the appropriation every year has been returned to the state treasury.

How quickly the time h sped and how well I remember that sad day four years ago. AH. day a cold aJnuary rain had fallen in fitful gusts, and towards night the wind moaned thro' tho p'nea as If In sympathy with hearts bowed with grief and woe, for the word had gone from house to house, the sad and awful truth "that Alma was dy ing." As the night shades deepened with the patter of rain drops fulling, and tho winds singing a requiem I wendod my way to the Culrortson home thinking I possibly could be of some help?not Into the chamber where the dear sufferer bad met the last enemy and conquered, but into an upper chamber where sat the dear parent with the two little boys and the tiny baby girl?that was left motherless, so soon, where a dear sister with cheerful face, though breaking heart, cared for the wants of the children? there where I thought my presence would be of some help and comfort I went, but I was the one comforted. Never shall I forget the conversation of that Christian father and mother A little while before the end, when the faithful watchers thought she had closed her eyes on earthly scenes for ever, she rallied and with a smile at the dear old mother, she said; "Oh! I have seen over the River, and it is such a beautiful place," and to the faithful sister she smilingly said: "And the dear little children that ar?> these. They are all dressed In white and you ought to hear thorn recite. 1 have lots of friends up there and I saw a great many people dresHed in white. They said they would give me a nice suit when I got back." These were about her last wordp and what a consolation It was to the hearts of her parents. She had seen a glimpse of that beautiful city and then together they sang to quiet the fretting of the little babe, the old, old song? . Tis religion that can give Greatest comfort while we live, 'Tis religion will supply Sweetest comfort when we die." Alma filled faithfully lier missions in Ufo. She was an ohedient child, a devoted sister, a faithful wife and a loving mother. Au u friend and neighbor, she has never been excelled. She was almost an invalid the last few years of her life, yet her sufferings were uncom plainingly borne. Those of us who loved her, will never forget the smile that greeted her friends. And now. though four years have gone, since you left us Alma, you arc not forgotten. We think of you today, nH wo do of so many loved ones, who lie sleeping under the snow. I.Ike Mary of old. In her youth, she "Chose the better part" and when the end came she went home; Our loved ones are gathering yonder Our ftrends, too, are passing away And soon we shall Join their bright number And dwell In identity's Day; They aro safe now In glory with Jesus, Their trials, and battles are past; They over-came sin and the tempter, They've reached that Fair City al last."
