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,

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

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

whites was $17.112 and for file negroes

says the report. 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.Iasper, repealed or decreased existing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. Tihe silendid re
sults of the mill school' work under
the supervision of that department
