an impress upon his State as pulpit
ator and college president, in his
mous letter on public instruction
South Carolina, written to Gov. ^
ning in 1853, took a similar posi
and sustained it by argument and
minous citations to history.
Higher education is necessary to
existence of the lower schools in
nishing them inspiration and int
gent direction and trained tcaCli
, but, on the other hand, the 1c
?v*ool? are necessary to the full grc
and development of higher educai
Colleges can do no real college v
without well prepared students f
the lower schools. They are
foundation upon which the great
lege must rest. They constitute
base of the pyramid of which the
college or university is the apex.
The experience of South Can
, nignci education. "An act for
founding and erecting of a free scl
for the no -o .1- - -
tn uie inhabitants of Sc
Carolina" was passed in 1710,?
seed of tree schools for all the pec
was planted 196 years ago,?but th
were no satisfactory results until
nineteenth century, when more att
tion was given to higher education ;
then some of the finest product of 1
higher education was most instrumt
tal in securing improvement and :
vancement in popular education,
must be moved upon irom the outsit
from above. Light is. from above. 1
efficient teacher for the comnv
schools must be trained in a scho
higher than the common schools. Oi
' cannot teach all that he knows. F
must know a great deal more than 1
attempts to teach. The noble wotnt
who are carrying on this great movi
ment for the rural schools are colleg
bred. One of the strongest argt
ments for the establishment of th
ligh school is, not that it will suppl
he missing link between the commo
chools and the college, but that it wil
timulate the lower schools to greate
nd better effort by placing beiot<
he common school pupils a goal with1
their reach.
T/ie admonition t\> aim high, to
litch our wagon to|a star," is based
)on a profound knowTe<Jge of human
ture. The higher our aYit^ though

icri. All i1h> children will not go',
ougli the high school and the col- \
e, hut all will be benefitted by them \
he inspiration they give and in the e
k of their graduates. t
hope we in South Caroina may he
to bury forever the idea that tl
e is any antagonism between high- tt
md lower education. There can tl
be antagonism between the roots, tli
trunk, the limbs and the foliage of es
and the same tree. I hope to see W
lay when the system of public in- lej
tion in South Carolina is so per- so
I, so closely knit together, that "i
hild may go from the kindergar- II
ip through the State university, sp
jy step, without loss of time and st
it having to jump the gap where sc
gh school ought now to be. "I
le popular education is the his- W
md logical outgrowth of higher St
ion, it behooves every college to th
nly alive to the obligations en- cs
upon it by this historic relation,
sse oblige" should be the motto de j
ii all. Jefferson, who founded rai
iversity of Virginia, taught^that! ?
ef duty of the State instiution|
_ i
for higher education is the promotion
ION of the interest of public schools of an
grades.
The individual college should look to
its tendencies to make sure it is not
departing or has not departed from the
: Of way blazed out for it in history. The
college sometimes selfishly ignores tne
claims of the rural schools in its activities
to its own hurt and to that of
are the neglected schools, which properly
^ . look to it for aiding inspiration. Selfishness
carries with it its own pun,
ishment, however, whether in institutions
or individuals. For great and
Ties . . .
lasting accomplishment, the institution,
^ like the individual, must have the
spirit of service,?the spirit of the Son
^.a of Man, who came to minister and not
itic
ike t0 m'n'stcre<* unto. The college
' without the missionary spirit will
^ shrivel and eventually die of dry-rot,
^ and deservedly.
las_ The college must recognize that the
t^e welfare of the State demands the cdutsin
cat'on? not ^e few, but of the many,
tjie'?of all the people,?and it must have
jlcr at heart and work for the welfare of
^ce the State, upon which it depends for
Jw its life and work. It must adopt as
T- (its own the declaration of that notable
iher /-'ducational conference held in this city,
adi IT? ,9?4> which affirmed that "No
leri '
government can long exist with..
:.i oiu an educated citizenship; this convvlt"
. ,
and ",tlon can no* "e secured except by
. ? the State,?a system which shall furout_
nish such training as will prepare
cv_ cvery child to intelligently perform all
the services demanded of him in his
unj relation to family, society, church and
the state-" South Carolina is an agricultural
State, and th? people live manly
0 , in the country ai%l, if they are to be
son ,
uch e"ucated, they must be educated
or through the rural schools, hence our
^ duty to our State requires that much
of our thought and time and labor
, shall be given to the rural schools.

There is no held riper for the harvest

fV.r" greatest and strongest men and

roth 1 wcu and generally is this recognized
tion. ' that the question is seriously discussed

t,lc How important to the State that every
c?l~ ountry child should be given a chance
fhe f<r intellectual devlopntent,?to show
true 0f what stuff he is made. Sociologists
tel u.. that not more than three genilina
er^\<jns%of a .fainily can live in a city
the for homes and are building them100I
selves homes in the country, where
>uth they live at least half the year,
-the Agriculture is the basis of all pros>plc
perity and wealth in this State, if not
ere in all countries, and it is vital to the
the life and future welfare of the State that
en- the good citizens shall not abandon
ind the farms for the cities. This can be
the prevented only by providing good
en- school t'acilites in the country for the
id- children of these good citizens. Good
It roads will follow good schools and the
le, resulting enlightenment, and prosper\n
ity, happiness and good citizenship, will
on result from these combined forces.
>ol Good, intelligent citizenship among the
ne yeomanry of the State, constituting a* :
le they do the majority of the voters,
ic would mean the passing of the dema njgogue
and of appeals to the prejudice
e- j and passions of the people for selfish
:e , ends.
1 ! Good school's for ???
- miiniry, or for
c any pjsoe, arc secured only through
, good teachers. Good buildings, good
" equipment, are necessary, but they will
' j tKM avail without the good teacher.
r Gov. Folk, of Missouri, in his address,
j " Education in a Democracy," before
| tfye last conference for education in
tlie South, well said: "Every State
needs more school houses, better equipment,
better paid teachers, and better
teachers." But he added, "Xo school (
' is. better than the teacher makes it, nor
"u'Vrsc than the teacher permits it to ==
l>ecol[nc-" President Ogden, at the
same\C('!^erence' declared that "When
this cl '""try realizes its dependence |
upon /-'"d obligation to the teachers of ^
\mer/,ca? the least appreciated of all t
vho l^t-'rve society and the State, then J
vill .appear the Golden Age. The teach- *
r, m"t the millionaire, is the hope of I
he Jtate.' %
It a 's the province and privilege of f
le P.. >llege and the normal school to
urn this teacher so much needed by ?
iJ rural school, and, in doing this, *
\M'y render the rural school the great- ^
Mt possible service. The graduates of P
l.inthrop are encouraged by the col
ge authorities to take country
Ihools, and 1 am glad to asy that a ^
Pimber of them do so. An editorial in ^
lie Wfnthrop College Journal last ^
ring, written by a student, made a W
|v>ng plea for help for the rural
.3. in u ocurrcd this paragraph: p
r.ach year the greater number of the
F inthrop graduates go out into the ^
