Charities and Corrections Board De? clare* Several Able f^o Pay are in? eligible. Columbia, Oct. H.?The State board of education in today's session in the office of the State superintend? ent heard numerous appeals concern? ing scholarships at Clemson, Win? throp, the University and the Cita? del. In three cases the same boy had won two appointments. Since these three applicants stood the Clemson examination July 14 and the Citadel examination August 11, and singe the tSoie Board of Charities and Cor? rections reported on the tinancial status of all applicants September 1, It'^e State Board of Education ruled I that the boys could not learn of their standing at Clemson before they en? tered the competition lor the Citadel. The State-hoard of education, there fdr,e, confirmed the recommendation of the Citadel authorities for the award of four-year scholarships to J. I* | Whitten, of Anderson, and Judson Sewart, of Pickens. 't' Since Virgil Harvey, of Berkeley,^ wae enable to meet the entrance re qutrements of the Citadel on reporting to that institutiorPyor further exami? nation, he was advised by the superin? tendent to withdraw. In several instances competitors for scholarships were given the highest marks from their county by the Clem? son faculty or the Winthrop * faculty, but were reported as financially in? eligible for appointment by the State Board of Charities, since these appli? cants were able to pay. In the ab? sence of full information and full rec? ords, the State Board of Education re? ferred every such appeal to the State Board of Charities and Corrections ana to the board of trustees of the college for relnvestigatlon and fuller report Appeals were submitted for MIts Ethel;Btrom, of McCormlck county, .Who applied for the scholarship at Winthrop, and for six young men who wereNsppllcants for scholarships at Clemson: Messrs. Patrick, of Orange burg 'county; Martin, of Greenwood county; Lightaey, of Hampton coun? ty; Hanckle, of Charleston county; McCants, of Berkeley county, and Smith? of Colleton county. Stroflsr action was taken on the ap? peal *0f C. A. Basterlln, of Colleton copnty, who was an applicant for a ^rmAl^scholarship at the University, T>ut who was reported Ineligible by {he State Board of Charities and Cor ^ctlon?. The State Board of Education will meet again on the call of the governor as KOOn as the State Board of Chari? ties and Corrections can make their investigation and report their findings to the respective boards of college trustees. Miss Laboon, of Anderson county, appealed from the findings of the State Board of Charities on her appli? cation for free tuition at Winthrop. This case was referred to the Win? throp trustees in order that the board , might make investigations and take whatever action was found proper. There were several appeals from the findings of the college faculties con? cerning the graces made by scholar? ship competition in the respective ex? aminations. Every such appeal was referred by the State Board of Educa? tion to the president and faculty of the proper Institution. Preliminary discussion of the text book adoption of 1917 was enter into, and the board authorized the governor and the'State superintendent to make .the proper advertisement of this adoption. The present list of State adopted hooks continues in use till June 30, 1917. Under the Act of 19 W, not more than 50 per cent of the pres-> r , ent list can be changed in the next year's adoption. The State superintendent was au? thorized to notify every State-aided high school of Its apportionment of State funds for 191G-I917. This notice Will he mailed out as soon as -full and satisfactory reports have been fur njahed by each superintendent or principal. Schools falling to report should write to the State department of education for blanks at once. Thanks People of Sumtcr.
