THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY MET TUESDAY
The First Day's Work was Only Routine
?The Reading of the Governor's
Annual Message.
The first day's work of the legislature
which nu t Tuesday at 12
o'clock was only routine, organizing
and the reading of the governor's
message to the joint assembly. Two
I new hills were introduced during
' the day by Mr. Toole. One to re'
duce the number of work hours in
the cotton mills from 11 to 10 hours
p r day, the other was to reduce
the railroad passenger rate from
3 to 2 1-2 cents per mile. The
governor's message is not a very
lengthy document but a very comprehensive
and characteristic one,
being a plain, businesslike recital
of the affairs of the state at large,
with some recommendations for the
attention and action of the legislature
during its present session. He
congratulates the state upon her
a e.< - .i . -?
iiiiiiMi-iui roiiumun in null nil! revinites
of the state for the past year
luul exceeded the expellilitlires 113'
nearly $120,000. Ho also spoke
approvingly of the law which required
all property to he returned
at its market value for taxation. He
also speaks favorably of the dispensary
system as the best way to handle
whiskey in the state, hut deplores
the corrupt management of this
state institution. He also speaks
favorably and heartily endorses the
recommendations of Superintendent
of Education 0. II. Martin with
reference to the public school system.
lie says:
"The annual report of our State
Superintendent of Education was
promptly sent to me, and the
thorough manner in which this
most important subject has lieen
treated includes some very gratifying
statements.
Better schools, more of them and
school improvement gem-rally, from
the smallest old field school house
to the last detail of our largest institutions,
these should command
our time, our personal attention
and our money.
I shall call your attention briefly
to some of the salient features of
this subject, such as are included
in Superintendent Martin's report.
From the small appropriation
made for free rural libraries have
grown results that are forcible and
striking. More than 000 libraries
have tMien established, and $25,000
represents the amount expended.
This not only means much in the
real value of good to Im? accomplished,
hut it shows a willingness
on the part of the people to aid
themselves when you give them a
ghod In-ginning.
More than 1(?0 new school houses
were erected during the last scholastic
year, and youi Act for this
purpose did not heeome fully effective!
until near the c'oso of the term.
Ev- n 1 tetter resul can lie safely
relied upon from this source during
the present- school year.
Thu superintendent's report shows
a scarcity of high schools in our
public school system, a fact which
this interested worker most naturally
regrets. Strong figures are
presented in this connection, and I
commend to your most careful consideration
the figures and reasons
which are shown to hear upon this
department of public school work.
It was most gratifying to me to
note an increase in the average
salary paid to teachers my only
regret is that this was not very
much larger than the amount recorded.
These are not only faithful
workers, with grave responsibilities,
hut they mint needs be
trained, cultivated and intelligent,
and it would be most gratifying to
me to sec tliem paid such salaries
as would to some appreciable extent
he commensurate with the value of
the service rendered. Superintendent
Martin's report shows that the
year's work has had good results,
and a study of its details will clearly
reveal increased interest in the
great cause of education throughout
our State, and this interest among
our people may certainly he classed
among tlu: greatest resources of this
work.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
It was a matter of sincere regret
to me that the compulsory education
I?ill discussed at your last session
did not In-come a law. While
I believe that a school house should
he within the reach of every child
in South Carolina, I also believe
that all children between the ages
of 8 and 12 years should l>e required
to attend school for a certain number
of months during each year.
The distance from the school house
to which this law should apply, is,
for the present, a matter for your
consideration. The states which
have not adopted compulsory educational
laws are tqda^ the excep.
tions, and I fAel that rofoth Carolina
cannot longer aflord to delay
in thin matter. I recommend that
you again give this your consideration,
with the hope that you will
pass a law meeting the requirements
of the situation.'*
