Ote-fourth of the population of Sout h Carolina, -151,766, are enrolled in the public schools, according to the annual report of .lohn l0. Swearingen, State superintendent of education. Of this number 196,067 were white and 219,699 negroes. This was an increase of '12,925 over the enrollment of the preceding year, 15,751 being whites and 27,171 negroes. This was the largest. enrollment in the history of the :Mate. Adding the inumber at tending private, denominational and imrotbhi l schools Would bring the total enrollment for the year to .1.0, 000 Thl'e local option coipulsor y sehoolii at tendanee law is ro .,esosible, says the report. for art of the increase in the attendance. 'T'his law is in opera tion in 17 districts, barely one-tenth of the school districts of the state, "utt its nmoral etlT'ets are state wide," says .\I r. Swearingen. The vhite schools reported atn average attend ance of 61S per cent and tIte negroes 57. He recomniends the strengthen ilg of the ocmpulsory attendance law and iaking it state wide. 'T'here was a total income of money for the public schools of $1.26 1,101.18 froti all softrees, one-flfth of it arising front the three nill constitatlonal tax. There Is at large variation in the anott of mioney speit in the vari01s olttties, but the average for the whites was $17.112 and for file negroes $1.90 per capital.

Perhaps the best re sulta+ have been secured in Laurens, Dillon, Newberry and Ilalpton coun ties. The widespread benellt obtained from the appropriat ion for night schools and the teaching of fundanien tals in educntion thereby to adults is an int(resting part of the anual re i)ort, more than 5,000 persons ha-ving been enrolled in mill villages . night schools and half that number in rural night schools. 'igures taken from the enrollment for the Democratic primaries show 1480 white voters in 27 counties be t ween the ages of 21 and 29 years un able to read or write, and the night school is reducing this number -rap idly. It is proposed to wipe out all liliteracy by 1920. Of the 1903 school districts in the state 1616 now pay a local school tax levy, and during the yeal 393 voted original levies or increased existing levies. Only four districts, two in Ab beville. one in Greenwood and one in .Iasper, repealed or decreased existing levies. One of the significant move ments was the voting of levies by 21 districts in which cotton tnills are lo cated. The state superintendent thinks the state and not the district ought. to he the unit in school mat ters. Six counties, Dorchester, lar lington, Dillon, Chesterfield, York and Marton report a tax in every dlistrict. An illiteracy table is appended showing that in 27 counties, out of a total enrolhment of 102,256 for the prinIaries, 19,115 made their ina rk op posite Ilheir nnames on tile enrollment books, ain iiliterate percentage of 11.7. Chesterfield with 28.2 led the i0111 eratcy column with leaufort the least illiterate, 4.1. (Ireenville reported an illIteracy of 21.8 and Spara nhirg of 21.9. No reports were received from Charleston, Anderson and flhicland counties. There were 2,482 white schools lin the state last year and 5,281 white teachers were einployed. The one teacher school is on the decline and is giving place to the two-teacher and three-teacher schools. During the year 72 distrilts expended $29,092.36 for the transportation of 1,615 pupils to and from school, using 119 vehicles. In 18 counties 32 districts own a teacher's cottage.
