When Paint Scales-Bills! The first paint scale is a danger signal. Moisture seeps through, the I wood swells, cracks, decays. The house goes down in value. Atlantic White Lead (Dutch Boy Painter Trade Mlark) andi pure linseed oil paint doesn't scale. It forms an elastic, won't-crack film that keeps values up and cuts out repairs. It can be tinted the color you wish for your thouse. Its beauty lasts for years. Se ,'rev T)t. :h Boy 'W1ite Iecd :,nd Li.nseed Oil na wet! , Tanting Colaram, a r 9:.1t ~d p.inting: r.:equis::e.

' in the first place, he should try to meet the immediate demands of the hour by working whole-heartedly with the or ganization and conditions as he finds them. In the second place, he should endeavor from his experience and ob servations to assist in the formulation of a policy of development which will he more conducive to the stability, growth, and eflliciency of the public school system. The following outline of organization is respectfully pre sented for the criticism of the friends of education. The limits of this re port will not allow the amplification of the topics. ( .1'NIitAl, 1'ItlNCI PlAles, I.- A State comnion school system shoulId he democratic. It should he responsive to the deliberately express ei will of the people. 2. Since the administration and supervision of a1 school sysIem recinIre ce(rtalin abilities rind traiining, the lnw sh'i Id give the jicople a reliable muethod of selecting their school offi cials. They should not he limited in their choice to iien who 3cek iosi tions. but. through II(ir authorized agents shond be allowedI the privi lege of seeking the inan who will per forim the duties of his ollice iost clli ciently. Since the education of a child and ithe dlevelopnient of a school are processes ' wlhiclh require several years for their coinpletion, the school sys tem should possess at stability which w 1ould enable its ollicers to inahe plans which they may hope to excente. 1. The State, as a whole, should guarantee an educational opportunity to all her c hiiren, regardless of the wealth or Ipove'rty of the pll'ticular eontanty or district in Which they live. I. -The Slate loard of EdnIeation. T'e adininistration of the State coin n1on school sy steni should be vested in a State lioard of I':dIeation lwhich shoulid ie a continuing body.

A State Supeirvisor of Elemen tary (iountry Schools: This officer has also been made possible in South Car olina and a number of other Southern States through the contribution of the Peabody Board and the Southern Edut cation Board. 3.

The white peo ple of South Carolina have in their hands the administration and super vision of the negro common schools. We have it in our power to neglect these schools, and allow the money spent for theirmaintenanceto be large ly wasted, or we may, through proper supervision, make them contribute to better race relations, and to increased productive power on the part of three fifths of our population. We place in the 'hands of the untrained negro teachers of the State a course of study and text books suited to the longer term white schools, and we expect these teachers, many of them ignor ant, to adapt this course and these text books to the needs of an immature race, whose best interests demandl in struction in agriculture, manual train ing, cooking, sewing, sygiene, and the essentials or the elementary school. 4. A State 'Director of Elementary Agricultural Education: This officer should direct the Crn Club work of the boys, and the school gardening and experimental work. Through him the U'nited States Government, (1Cm son ('ollge, and the State Department of Educatioll should work jointly for elementary agricultural education in the common school. It is impossible for any one of these ageniecs, without the third, to achieve the best results. in order to reach the boys, the school system is the agency through which the other two must work. 5. A State )irector of liomemak Ing Activities for the Girls: In this ofliceri the Work of the UInited States Government. Winthrop College, and the S'tate I)epartment of Edueatioll must be co-o rdinated. Tile o'her two agencies muIst work through the State and coity machinery, the schools and the teachers, in order to be effective. (G.
