Stmir superintendent of r.diic?
There shall bi h State board oi ? d
ucstlon, composed ??f the governor,
the Stute superintendent of education
an? not exceeding seven persons I I
be appointed every four years by tin
govern a ui>"i\ the recommendation
of the State superintendent, of which
board the governor shall be < hainn an
and the State superintendent of edu
eatloa secretary. This hoard shall have
the regulation of the examination of
teachers applying for ites of
qualification, and shall award all
scholarships, and have, such other
powers and duties as may be deter?
mined by law. The traveling expenses
of the persons to be appointed shall
be provided by the general assembly."
This means, should the revision bi
accepted by the general assembly,
that the educational system of the
State will be centralised and that the
State superintendent will be given
more power. The revision of the
above constitutional provision is as
follows: "Upon the. recommendation
of the State superintendent."
The old law gives the govt mot the
right to appoint the members of tho
State board of education Independent
of the State superintendent of educa?
tion.
Another constitutional amendment
ysrosrtdoa that school trustees may be
members of the general assembly.
The first constitutional amendment
proposed provides that school true
loos may be elected to any office.
The members of the education com?
mission which prepared the report
as to the revision of the school laws
of the State, which was sent to the
Sjenera) assembly today are J. E.
Swear Ingen, the State superintendent
of education; W. W. Hand, State high
school inspector; D. B. Johnson, pres?
ident of Winthrop college; S. H. Ed?
monds, superintendent of- the Sum
tee city schools, and M. L. Smith,
attorney of Camden. The commission
waa appointed as the result of a res?
olution by the last general assembly.
There were 14 sessions of the com?
mission held lost year.
The following Is a summary of the
I changes as recommended for the
school lsw:
"The commlslon has endeavored to
make a practical snd progressive
report. It has Sought to retain the
best features of the present lsw and
to svold radical or revolutionary
changes. It has betn compelled, how?
ever, to recommend some Important
sad fpr-reachlng alterations In order
that the new school lsw may help to
most present needs and *-j Improve
present conditions.
An amendment to section 2. ar?
ticle t, snd to section 24. article 3,
of the constitution, will remove the
obstacle that prevents many of our
best men from serving ss school trus?
tees. Though the constitution for?
bids the holding of two offices, this
provision has by common consent.

ment seeks merely to legalise ser?
vice to educstion when rendered In
connection with other service to the
?sate.
