What McMahan Savs. To the Democrats of South Car olina: Alter careful <lfli? rli u< lor many months 1 juuour.. v self a candidate for the oiiue ol State Superintendent of Education. Candidates are necessary that the machinery of Democracy may move. Every election should afford an expression of the !>o>t judgment of the people. Yet the voter can do nothing hut choose 1 between candidates, and unless there be a number of these with diverse vews his right of suffrage i is practically denied. Whatever,' therefore, may be the result to me | personally, I render a service to the cause of popular government in my native State when I undertake to discuss before the people; in their counties, during the hot summer months, the subject of public education, and to offer myself, together with my viiws and I my purposes, for endorsement or rejection. The State that aspires to be second to none in all that makes! for human greatness must first seek to be second to none in the: ?.,.1 j JlUOIUgeiJUC illiu tllilKitlci ui n-I citizens. South Carolina has assumed the duty of educating her: people, and if the quality of that education is not of the best, she cannot hold her own in the world struggle over the economic and t social problems that now over shadow the destinies of the na- i tions. |, What are our common schools accomplishing? What shall we make of them? What standard ot education shall we aim at lor our ? people? What is the value of education? Is it indispensable? What is education? I)?es it bear o upon the practical problems of life and happiness? Why does the State educate? If the State Superintendent of Public Education will perform a J work worthv ot his office, he must 11] go among the people, direct their ^ thoughts to these questions, and arouse them to a faith and a zeal in the cause of pop ular education.' ;l Public education is the cheapest, j in the world; let it not through neglect b^ the poorest and thus dear at any price. In its conception it is the realization of the mot- j to ot the ideal republic "Equality, Fraternity, Liberty." It is based upon the spirit ot' Christ help one another, and it is the ex pression of the life-giving principie of modem Democracy. Let us make it a reality; Jet us bui'd up ^ the schools. The State will awake ^ to new life in every department, v moral, social, and industrial. The benefits will be felt by us and by t our posterity. c Johs J McMaijan, 1 Columbia, S. 0. June 15,1 SOS.
