Radical | changes In the state deportment of i education are recommended to tho general assembly by the report of Griffenhagen and Associates, < Rlclency engineers, who have completed their survey of the South Carolina govern? ment. Among the more important recommendations are: The appointment of members of the board by the governor for a term of. eight years, two members retir- ? Ing every two years; the establish? ment of a department of education and the oflice of director of educa? tion, tha director to be appointed by the state board of education or the governor; that the majority of the County boards of education should be appointed by the state board of edu? cation; that the county superintend? ents of education be appointed by the state board of education and noi ehcted by ..opular vote or by the re? spective county education boards, and that all salaries of county suporln-! tendehtS and the state superintend ? nt be increased. i The report goes Into detail con? cerning the following topics: Present ( organisation for state education in South Carolina, recommendations re? garding appointment and tenure of chief educational office re, salaries of chief educational officers, educa? tional qualifications Cor county sni pi rintendents, grade schools, teacher supply, tor. her training, textbooks,1 negro schools, high schools, institu? tions of higher learning community centers in the schools, other agencies i and summary of recommendations regarding state education in South ' Carolina. In regard to the creation of a state department and a director of ; education instead of the present plan, i tho efficiency engineers say: "As a part of the ultimate plan, it Is ,proposed there he created a de? partment of education, whose execu? tive head shall be a director of edu? cation. The director might be ap? pointed by the governor with the consent of the senate or might be elected by the state board of educa? tion. We would be inclined to favor the latter of these alternatives. He should serve during good behavior and be removable only through a majority vote of the state board of education. He should be chosen for his educational and administrative qualifications without reference to residence or political affiliations and he should be paid an adequate sal? ary. The continuity given to the , state board through the adoption of a plan of appointment that would give the members overlapping terms will. If the board selects the direc? tor, make for continuity in the of? fice of the director." After a careful study of the edu? cational system of the state, the en? gineers have the following recom? mendations to make: ?"That the members of .the state board of education be appointed by the governor for a term of eight years, two members retiring every two years. "That a department of education and the ofHcO of director of educa? tion be established, the director to be appointed by the state board of* education or the governor, and that th'.s department include certain in? stitutions and agencies hereinbefore mentioned. "That the majority of the members of each county board of education be appointed by the state board of edu? cation. "That the county Superintendent? fee appointed (not elected by popular vote) by the state board of educa? tion or the respective county Ixiards of education upon the basis of qualifi? cations determined by the state board of education und required by act of the general asserrbly. "That the salaries of the state su? perintendent of education and the county superintendents lie increased with a minimum salary law for the latter. "That the length of the elementary course be increased from seven to ci/;ht years; that the school term be lengthened to nine months and thai the daily sessions be lengthened to six hours. "That the compulsory attendance law be am.uided to provide for con? secutive attendance for the full term and that consideration bo given to tho question of dividing the year into sixths or quarters. "That a minimum salary law for rural school teachers be passed, car? rying with it provision for the clas? sification of i achers according to ex? perience and training.

Bank of Columbia Withstands "Run" State Examiner Craig Says De? posits Are Safe Columbia, Nov. 29?For the first time in more than two score years there was a run on a bank in Colum? bia yesterday- -not a very heavy run nor a run that was marked by hys? teria or panic, but a run nevertheless. It was directed Jtgainst the Bank of Columbia, one of the old established financial istitution3 of this city, hav? ing been organised in 1892, and it withstood the strain in a manner that wash a source of gratification to ita friends, "The money of the depositors Is Absolutely safe," said James H. Craig, state bank examiner, yesterday even? ing while standing in the otlice of the bank. "I am here in Columbia and am keeping closely in touch with the situation, and you may quote me SS saying that the bank Will not OS closed and that the money of the de? positors is safe," said Mr. Craig. The run, which really began in a small way last week, was in evidence early yesterday morning. Through? out practically the entire day, cus? tomers, some Withdrawing accounts and some making deposits, were m line, waiting patienatly their , turn at the various windows. Without ques? tion, without quibbling, without oh jection, the clerks received or paid lout the money as rapidly .is possibb their sole desire being apparently t< accommodate those before the win? dows. |, A great many people in line were small depositors?people who had small accounts, though some of the I withdrawals were probably large The lobby Of the bank was crowded throughout a greater part of tho day many o,f the people being mere spec - tatOlS, a "run" being a decided nov? elty in this city of conservative bank? ing. About, noon, a banner was SWUng across the front of the bank building to the effect that "This bann will not close. It will be open con? tinuously for business. The banner bore the signature James tl. Cra'g, bank examiner, and that it had a ftCCd salutary effect upon spectators and customers alike was clearly c\i d< at. The "run" was devoid of excite? ment, being about as tame St a game of checkers and was given but n<> great attention after the statement of the Columbia Clearing House as? sociation became generally known During the day several new acc< Were opened, and what was more nlflcant, many accounts that had been withdrawn were reentered, according to Lb L. Eiardln, president of the bank. Mr. Hordin said lost lllgha that 30 new accounts lead been open? ed during the day. The member tanks of tin Colum blu clearing house association hav? guaranteed to each'and every de? positor the payment of their deposits in the Hank of c.dumbia In full, and are standing squarely behind Ihc hi? st Itution. Many strange stories are t<dd as to how the runna as to the bank's un soundness originated, but efforts to ascertain positively as to "who start? ed it" proved unavailing. A whisper, borne on the breath ot the wind, given circulation thoughtlessly, care? lessly, perhaps without a realiza? tion of Its dangerous potency, prob? ably broughl the bunk Into the lime? light. In Older to give all depositors full opportunity to to the windows, I the bank was kepi open bey in I banking hours yesterday afternoon Before ?'? o'clock had arrived, the lob. i,v w;is practically free of ctistu I mers.

Nov. 29.?Testimony that 10 per cent of the $7,000,000 Shipping Board repair bills in the South At? lantic district was "graft" was given here today to the Walsh congressional committee examining into shipping board affairs. The allegation was made by Charles Bunzahf, a traveling auditor of the board out of Xew York. It was contained in a letter written by the witness to the general comp? troller of the board last July, read here today by Chairman Walsh and identified by the witness. Means by which the alleged "graft" was made possible, UM witness testi? fied, included lack of inspections, lall jure to check repair work, overcharges for materials and labor and unneces? sary repairs. He cited an instance of a repair engineer, who, he said, had sat in a pilot house and approved re? pair bills amounting to "thousands of dollars" without ever looking at tho work. Ho declared inspectors had been told that "costs" were none of their business and that there was a I spirit to make, rather than cut down repair work. Washington.
