Commencement proper began on Friday evening with the presenta tion of Who’s Boss by the students of the expression department. Sat urday was given over to Class Day exercises in the morning, alumnae meeting, the Jubileo Pageant and luncheon, the meeting of the Board «of Trustees, the Zetosophia . ban quet, and the annual concert Sat urday evening. The ' Sunday morning baccal aureate sermon by Dr. Hulley on The Earlier Psalms qf David in which he emphasized the Joy of the Psalmist as expressed in the first group of Psalms and especial ly in the verse “I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth,” was especially suited to a commence ment occasion with its culmina tions and beginnings. The Chautauqua vesper service Sunday afternoon condqcted by Mrs. David M. Ramsay and ad dress by Dr. Hulley was as it al ways is one of the inspirational hours of commencement. The exercise Sunday evening in which the religious organizations of Greenville Womans College and Furman University both had a part took place in the crowded auditorium of the First Baptist Church when Missionary John Lake of Canton, China, spoke from the text, “My son, give me thy heart.” Prior to Missionary Lake’s address Miss Earle Campbell made a report for the religious organi zations of Greenville Womans Col lege and Mr. Wilson Barbare for the religious work at Furman Uni-, vcrsity. Introducing the speaker Reverend John Lake, Miss Eliza beth Moore referred most fittingly to the work of Missionary Lake’s wife, the late Carrie Bostick Lake, a former graduate and teacher a: Greenville Womans College. The report of the Trustees at the exercises on Monday morning emphasized by the announcement by Mayor Mann of Greenville that the citizens of Greenville were be hind the drive to endow the col lege in the near future was a not of encouragement and cheer which wanned the hearts of all present.

Who doesn’t, on occasions! We know how it is.. • so does Goodrich, whose tires we sell. Goodrich, you see, realizes that all of us like a bargain now and then. But they can’t see why a bargain tire can’t be a good tire. So their engineers got together awhile back. Set out to build an outstanding tire at a sensationally low price. A tire that could carry the name Goodrich. A tire that would live up to Goodrich standards on the road. Result... the Cavalier. Big and husky. Oversize in air cushion. Thicker and tougher in tread. Built to fight off rough roads and high speeds and take its own sweet time about wearing out. But—built to sell at.prices that beat wen ordinary tires for real savings. We’ve got a full stock of Cavaliers on hand right now. All sizes . . . including a couple for trucks. And as our contribu tion to this money-saving party, we’re of fering them at special prices. Cutting the figures even lower than they usually are. We want you to see this tire. Want you to look over our prices.

C.; Cool Milk Quickly People Here In Good Condition The following letter from Mr. John A Holland of Greenwood ap peared in a recent issue of The index-Journal and contains some good food for thought for people who believe conditions are better in other places than here in Caro lina: To The Index-Journal: I have just returned from a trip to Indiana and desire to present to the readers of The index-Journal some impressions made upon me during my visit. I was a guest of a large manufacturing concern in the middle west and while there £ was almost in constant contact with the administrative personnel of the organization. This concern keeps regularly posted as to the economic conditions in all portions of the United States. From all the information I received I am of the opinion that in the upper portion of South Carolina the people a^e in about as good condition as they are anywhere else in the United States, and much better than in some other sections. The most fav orable report I heard came from Texas. If tha agriculture section in the upper part of this state could get adjusted so that the farms would grow practically ev erything that is used thereon then our" conditions would improve very much. I learned from those who have been out on the Pacific coast since the first of January, and es pecially from one man who had just returned from a five weeks’ trip out there, that nearly every one in that section is in bad shape. A considerable portion of the land has been bonded at $100 the acre to install irrigation. Some of the people have turned their attention to raising cotton because other crops were unprofitable. The cost of irrigating an acre of cotton is from $15 to $20'. Last year’s crop showed a loss but some of them decided to try it again and are al-' ready so discouraged that they are trying to dispose of their land at almost any price. My judgment is if the people here knew how much better off they are than those of some other sections they would stop grumbling and go to work in dead earnest and make this coun try produce all of which it is cap able, and bring joy and gladness to this section of our southland.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—Enormous increase in public school enroll ment in the United States com pared with the small increase in that of private schools indicates the confidence of the people in the facilities and opportunities afford ed by the tax-supported institu tions, stated David T.- Blose, of the statistical division, United States Office of Education, recently. The publicly supported institu tions, he said, have more funds with which to introduce a variety of courses and to offer greater ed ucational facilities attractive to the students. The American states expended $63,396,666 on secondary educatiqn n 1870, and steadily increased the amount to $2,184,336,638 in 1928. In 1928 there were 25,179,696 students enrolled in the public elementary and high schools compared with 2,669,661 students enrolled in sim ilar private schools, Mr. Blose pointed out. Statistics on the growth of stud- :nts enrolled in the private high schools and academics between 1890 and 1928 were presented as follows: In 1890 there were 94,- 931 students enrolled; in 1910, there were 117,400; and in 1928. there were 269,249. In public high schools the growth is record ed as follows: In 1870 there were 30,227 students; in 1890 there were 202,963; in 1910, there were 984,667; and in 1928 there were 3,911,279 students enrolled in the public high schools. Total enrollment in denomina tional secondary schools in the United States in 1926 was 185,641, and in 1928 arose to 204,787. -En rollment in nonsectarian schools of this character stood at 65,906 in 1895 and had arisen to only 75,662 S in 1928. During that same period', , the total number of nonsectarian schools decreased from 1,270 to :659. There were 21,268,417 students i enrolled in the public elementary 'schools of the country in 1928. and 3,911,279 students in the high schools.
