RECOMMENDED Committee of State Board of Education Suggests Numer i ous Changes, Including Salary Increase Columbia, S. C, Dec. 31.-?Governor Cooper j today made public recom mendations by . a. committee repre senting- the Staie Board of Education, which recommendations embrace a State-wide and constructive policy for the public schools of South Caro lina. . rr.j [ Among the recommendations are that there shall be a minimum wage of $80 a month for all assistant tea chers for nine, months. .$100 a month for principals of two or three-teacher school,. $110 for. principals for feur i teacher schools and $120 for princi I pals of five-teacher schools, j The creating of a ?State board for I examining and certificating teachers ; is ."also recomniended, . along with re 1 ligio.us teaching in the public schools I and a more liberal use of the public [ health benefits as may be applied to j the schools. Adequate and properly constructed buildings is also .emphasized and it is recommended that all. construction be under the" immediate supervision of a State school architect. . . Finances is the. great drawback to the system, and the committee, point ed out that instead of $5^00.0.000? be ing expended in the public schools as last year, there is immediate, necessi ty for $12,000,000. The. committee in. suggesting mini-' mum salaries for county superintend ents, suggests that the salary for these officials should be at least 1.800 a year. The report concludes with pointing out the necessity of rewriting the State Constitution because cf the limitations cf the. -organic, lajv; as to public schools.

(Marion Star.) j .We greatly fear . tha\ this article; will be misunderstood, but such fear; is not strong enough to deter us in ; speaking plainly in the premises. No man regrets the shooting of Sheriff j Rowell-more than does the editor of; this paper, who .has been the .personal friend of John Rowell since boyhood, i We?begin by stating that it is only to j be regretted that the bullet from the,1 sherii':"'s gun, tired in self-defense and I in compliance with law. did not im-; mediately kill the negro desperado! who so dangerously wounded the ! .sheriff.

Great. Britain look forward to a new year of financial and political diffi culties but with greater optimism than they would have thought possible a: few months ago. ... A '*J?ew w.orld fit for heroes to live in" which was an ideal of the war has not yet been fully attained at home and international problems which brought on the war.still are hanging over the head of the nation. Yet thej British people are trying to face thej future in ah invincible faith in the' nation's ability to conquer all troubles. | The most cheerful optimist of all] is Premier Lloyd Cfeorge. Under.the leadership of his unflagging faith that eyeryUiing will work out for the best,; The clouds of despondency, pictured ' by the newspapers as thickest when j the: Chancellor of the Exchequer de-; clared that the nation was heading1 for bankruptcy, say Britons have visi-j ply lifted. A foremost cause for confidence is: the .-.te.ady commercial revival and: cessation of labor troubles, which Eritoris hope will continue. These give ground for prediction by opti mists .Jhat Great Britain will return' to .normal' conditions sooner .than! other great European countries which j engaged^ in the war. Manufaciu;-' rs 'M many lines have business Ix^olced far ahead. The cot ton trade, one of the basic British industries, is said to have all the or ders it can fill for( the. next five years. Shipbuilders say they are in the same happy condition. They have yet to be convinced that America will be able t? take away the former Brit ish supremacy in the carrying trade. Tin y base their confidence on the be lief that while the British are a sea faring race ,the Americans are not. Apparently they believe that Amer ican ships built in the war are destin ed to be bought eventually by dis tinctly maritime nations. Their con fidence, however, is not iron-clad. Lord Incheape told the shareholders of .one Great Britain steamship com pany that, if the American govern ment turned over its ships to private owners, Great Britain need not be afraid, bur if the American people were to be,.taxed tq build up their mercantile marine, the outlook for the shipping industry in these islands was nothing but rosy. British bankers and merchants look forward to a great increase of busi ness with South America in 1920. They expect to hold their pre-war custom-, ors and to gain much of what Ger many lost. They profess to discount 'he prospect that the United States! will acquire control of the South American field. ' Many nations are* anxious to buyj from Great Britain. Kow some of j them can pay is a problem. The de-! ciihe in exchange rates had a depres-1 sing effect on" American trade but ex- j ehange with France. Italy and smaller! markets is favorable to Great Brit din. ' ".

Britain's recovery af-i ter the- Xq.poleonic Wars was possible j through underpaid labor but British employers do not expect this to be j among the assets of the future. On; the contrary, many industrial leader.-*i say ]'rirish .indusiry is facing a ques-1 tion whfther tire Steady increase Jn* wages may not become a dangerous! j handicap in competition with other] countries. j llabor has other prospective bene- j :iis. in the promise of Premier Lloyd j George's great, scheme for building j comfortable workmen's homes i throughout the country, which is just beginning to materialize, and in plans for insurance against unemployment j which have not yet developed. The; principle of the latter is that all men out of work through no fault of their own shall be assured of a respectable! living as a right, without any taint of pauperism. /Ireland still is regarded as one of; the government'5T most difficult and; threatening domestic problems. Early ; forecasts, of the new Home Rule bill j met nothing but opposition from all Irish factions. The Sinn Fein, with-.at majority of the Irish votes, threaten end to boycott the scheme as it boy cotts the British Parliament. India and Egypt are being weighed i in the balance wifh hopes and fears' as intense as those centred upon. Ire-! land. India will see in the new yearj the beginning of the program of Ed- j win Samuel Montague for new meas- [ ures of self-government. Establish-: ment of a protectorate over Egypt is: now being resisted with much the: same bitterness and same methods as< ihc Irish resisted the present adminis-: tration in Ireland. The new year is expected to be vital for the fortunes of the army and navy- The present plan is to reduce the army next year to virtually its pre war basis. The navy is at a critical stage. Experts upon whom the coun try relied in the past, notably Baron Fisher, formerly First Sea Lord, and Rear Admiral Sir Percy Soctt are for scrapping the old establishment. They declare that big battleships are obso lete, that submarines and aircraft haVe revolutionised warfare and that submersible*, and h!g submersihles ar;1 the only craft of the future. Naval experts whose opinions com mand equal respect uro skeptical and I I say. "go slow." It is urged that a i country whose life depends upon its I navy should not drop its old machin ery before the new has been proved I beyond reasonable doubt. Tee new dispositions of Turkey and j other lands of the Near East are al 1 most as important for Great Britain as the fortunes of her own territories. Setting up of new mandatory colonies and islands involves many decisions. Seldom has the nation faced great er, or more various and difficult tasks than the new year holds for I Great Britain. Yett eahvreaeg?iallaa Great Britain. Yet the average man is absorbed in one subject more than all of the others together. This is the cost of living which has increased more in the past year than during j the four years of war, and he sees no! turning point in sight. This means that a large part of the population has to readjust its scale of living and that a large section of the old "mid dle-class" is becoming the new poor.!
