Facts From Superintendent
hayfield's Report.
^^g?Tbe superintendent of education bas
issued bis aonaal report, from which
^.woe facts of interest relative to the
v-. schools of the sta'e are taken.
. Table No. 1 shows the enrollmenc
Kpfar *ha year to bs as follows:
White males 61,701, females 57,
326; total, 119 027
Colored males 66 816, females 72,
340; total. 139.156
" Total males 128,517, females 129,
Y #56; grand total, 258.183
This is ao increase over last year of :
White males 5.216, females 4.652;
total, 9.868. Colored males 7,210,
?females 8,768; total, 15,978. Total
increase of males 12 426, females 13,
420; grand total. 25,846. The enroll
msot of 258,183 is the largest io the
Bp history of the pablio schools of the
sUte. The l&rge increase is doe, io
part, to the increase io population, and,
Ito part, to tho increase in the length of
I the school cession, she latter being the
resale of the increase in taxation for
Bx sebooi^purposes There is still a large
namber of children who do not avail
y themselves of the educational advao
XX': tagee offered them ; all will never do so
K:-?ales8 compelled by law.
EXPENDITURES.
yX X The total expenditures in operation
W, the schools for the year amount to
X . ?697,068,06, aa increase of $1.24,430,
82 over the amount spent last year.
. - This iocrease is out altogether due. to
^ f tba increase to the levy for school par
; poses. Last year was limited by law
: to eight months, and all of the money
foi that year was not epeot.
; - The reports show the school furoi
taceand apparatus to be valued at $84,
. 177.73, an increase of $9 524.40 over
last year's valuation
SCHOOL HOUSES.
One hundred and fifty-three school
houses were built during the year at
X a total cost of $22,728 93. This ie the
largest cumber ot houses built io any
: one year, except the year 1893, in
which 206 were built. There seems to
be a gradual improvement in the class
' of houses erected, hut there is still
- mach room for improvement along
% tow line. The boa eas should be made!
.'.'.V arare comfortable and attractive aod
X ?feao?d bs supplied with more and bet
ter forai? ore and school apparatus
f, *'' There were used during the year for
the white sohools 2.423 houses, of
IX wbieb the state owas oniy 1.750, va!
?V, oed at $426*523.19 leaving 673 houses
used for white schools oot owned by
r- the state.
Tho total cumber of houses owned
by the state is 2.722, valus at $542,
XX 679-25, to average value of nearly
$200 each. It ia reasonably certain
iaac very many of tbe booses owned
by: the ?tate are worth muon less than
$200 each The state should own the I
?J? & >oaes for all of her sohools, and it is
: io be hoped that this will be the ease
- to the near future, to which end effort
wi'! be made during the next year.
TEACHERS.
The state board of education bas
been cri'ictsed for the high grade of
. questions submitted for the examina
. tjoa of applicants for teachers The
/ justice, or injustice of these criticisms
can be determined only by general re
saUs. I, therefore, oill your especial
attention to table N, number, 10 Ex
an??irioo of this table will show that
777 first grade white male teachers
were employed daring the year at an
' average monthly salary of $33 33 each,
ao increase of 121 ia this class of
- teachers ovef that of any previous year;
284 seeood grade white male > teachers
were employed at ao average monthly
?alary of $24 28 each, an increase of
15 io this class; 100 ihirefgrade white
male teachers were employed at sn aver?
age moo th ly salary of $20 10 each a
decrease of four io (hts class 1254;
first grade white f?fu%le at an average
monthly salary of $24 76 each, (the
lew salaries in a few . counties reduced
tbs average salary of this grade), an
increase of 66 in this class ; 375 sec?
ond grade white female* at au average
moncbly saiary of $23.96 each, an in
cea^e of 20 io this class ; 138 third
grade white female at an average
roon'hlv saiary of $28 each, (of the
138, Charleston county had 48 at ao
average salary of $39, which ioore&sed
the general average), an increase of
24 in this class. - it will be observed
thar the greatest increases appear in
the highest class. The above figures
show that there were employed in the
white schools 2 031 first, 659 second
aod 238 third grade teachers.
Tabb Noll shows increases io the
colored teaching force as follows :
First grade, males, 20 ; females, 33 ;
second grade, males, 82; females.
118 ; third grade, males, (decrease) !
17 ; females, 40 There were a total !
of 586 first. 812 second aod 627 third
grade colored tear aers employed during
the year.

SCHOOL HISTORIES.
Much has been written and j
Iished on the subject of using Un
States histories In our schools w
are unfavorable to the South,
fear that these publications may 1
caused some member of your ho
able body to think that tbe S
Board of Education adopted for
in the public schools an objection:
and unfair history I beg to inf
you that Hansell's histories
Montgomery's Beginners' his!
were adopted by that board, and i
no other history is authorized to
used in any public school over wt
tba!; board has jurisdiction M<
gomery's Beginners' history 1
meant to be used more as a read
book for primary pupils than a
history. Other histories are used
schools of this state over which t
board has no jurisdiction
He then quotes liberally from H
sell's history to show that it is not
fair ta the south
He quotes from the United Sta
commissioner of education as to il
erac y, showing that this state is t
highest in the Union, being 45 ]
cent , the next lowest being Lou
ana This state also pays per cap
per annum for education, the arnot
being 42 cents, the smallest of a
state or territory Mr. Mayfield sa
this is an unenviable position.
There should be provided at tl
sesiicn of the legislature sufficie
state aid to make good the promis
made to the people that the pubi
schools would be improved and ma
sufficient to meet tbe wants and i
quirements ot the people-that all
the country schools should furnit
amule opportunity to the count
children to obtain a common sebo
education
We have done the best we cou
with the fonds available, and hai
thus far received no state aid. Tl
promises to the people to give the
good schools should be redeemet
and to do so tbe state should at th
session make provision for state ai?
sufficient to bring up all of the com
try schools to a standard sufficient 1
meet the requirements of the peop
Only this will satisfy the people an
prevent the desertion of the countr
for the towns and cities by thei
where they can have e itisfactory ec
ucationai advantages for their chi
dren
Upon the education of the masse
depends the welfare of our peopl
and the safety of our institutions
Make the provision and the educatio
of the masses will follow Withou
sufficient money it cannot be secured
You have the power to furnish th
remedy.
DISPENSARY FUND.
I am informed by the state board o
control that they have paid in to rh
state treasure the sum of $50,001
for school purposes and expect t<
j pay during January next, au addi
! tiooal sum of $20,000. The ?tatt
board of education will meet during
the first week in January and take
some action in reference to thie
money. 1 suppose it will be dis
tributed among the counties in ac?
cordance with the calculations oi
Comptroller General James Norton
as to the three dollars per capita de?
ficiency, his estimate being that the
income from the dispensary this year
would yield a sum sufficient to raise,
on proper distribution, each county
to the three dollar per capita require
ment, which rendered the levying of
an extra tax by bim unnecessary.
There should be some legislation
empowering the state board of educa?
tion to distribute among the counties
any future income from the dispen
sary for school purposes.
Instead of a reformatory for youth?
ful criminals, he suggests that a law
be passed prohibiting children from
remaining on the streets and towns
after specified hours.
He also suggests that the third
Friday in November be appointed

BOUGHT BY THE
COAST LINE.
Baltimore, Dec. 29.-On Jan. 1,
the Atlantic Coast Line will add to
its system an important line by secur?
ing the Charleston and Western Caro?
lina railroad. Control of this line
has just been obtained by a deal with
the owners-Gen Samuel Thomas
and Mr. Thomas F Ryan of New
York-by which thc Atlantic Coast
Line buys tbe entire capital stock of
the Charleston and Western Carolina
Mr B. F Newcomer, vice president
of the Atlantic Coast Line, said to?
day that for the present the same
management will be continued in the
road
The Seaboard Air Line has traffic
arrangements with this road to get
into Augusta, Ga , and Charleston,
S C , and the change in control is
thought to mean some change in this
arrangement. In some circles it is
thought, however, that it wi!l be con
tinned owing to the amicable feeling
existing now between the two sys?
tems as a result of the Seaboard mak
gin peace with the Southern railway,
with which the Atlantic Coast Line
works in harmony
The Charleston and Western Caro?
lina runs from Port Royal, S. C , to
Augusta, Ga, with an extension
reaching Spartanburg, S C. It is
regarded as a valuable property be
cause of the large business it han?
dles and will be an important feeder
to the Atlantic Coast Line. At pres?
ent the Atlantic Coast Line reaches
this road over the Sonth Carolina and
Georgia railroad at Augusta from
Denmark, S C. A more direct con
nection is had at Laurens, S. C., by
means of the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens railroad, which is also
operated by the Atlantic Coast Line.
By getting the Charleston and West?
ern Carolina railroad, the Atlantic
Coast Line will increase its coast
terminals, and with its present sys?
tem reach Norfolk, Wilmington,
Charleston and Port Royal.
The capital stock of the newly ac?
quired road is $1,200,000 Its bond?
ed debt consist of $2,700,000 of first
moartgage bonds, $1,800,000 of in
come bonds, and Augusta terminal
bonds aggregating $600,000.
The fixed charges are said to be
$8,000 a mile and the property is
paying, it is said, 5 per cent, on a
$5,000,000 capitalization.
