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.
