GRADED SCHOOLS OF COLUMBIA

The report Of the superintendent
Of the city Graded schools Of Colum-
b;a, contains much valuable intorma-
ton on the subject Of Graded schools.
The schools were run for seven
months as free schools, the State ap-
preparation being supplemented by a
local levy Of one mill cn the proper
tv in the city of Columbia. We
have advocated and will continue to
advocate the establishment Of such q
system in our city. 1t would do
more for the material upbuilding OF
our town than anything else. The
great educational wanC Of our com
munity and Of the whole State is for
GOOD and efficient Common schools.
AS the question Of cost is the first
one to be considered in every under
taking we copy the following from
Superintendent Johnson's report OF
the cost in Columbia:
The total cost of tuition for the
1893 children enrolled in our schools
was S7.l45.45 for seven months, Or
S1,02O.7S for one month, and for nine
months or q full school years tuition
at the same rates, 59,1S7.02. Under
anv other system o. educating that
number OF children the cost to the
people of Columbia would have been
at least $26,21Z00. The Graded
schools, therefore, have given to Col
umbia as good = system Of instruc-
ton as any other at q saving Of Sl1,-
O29.9S. But besides ueing q great
saving to Columbia, | do not think
that it is too much to say in this con-
nection that the establishment Of the
Graded schools has contributed ma
terially to the upbnilding OF the city
during the past year, that it was the
main cause Of the activity II building
in the city which has been SO marked
during the spring and summer months
Many people have come to the city
to avail themselves Of the edutatlonal
opportunities for their children OF
fered by the Graded schools, thus
increasing the demand for houses
and in consequence rents have gone
up, property has enhanced in value
and building has become active to
supply the demand" ."
If the system has proven such an
advantage to Columbia, why should
it not work equal good for US. 1t is
all that we need to make our educa'
tional system complete.

The fee bill introduced by Dr.
Pope regulating the attorney fees in
Master's references passed the House
The bill, as passed Oy the House, al
lows no fees to lawyers in references
at all. We are glad to state that all
three Of our representatives voted
solidly for the bill. The great abuse
OF the former law will now be
checked and the cost of settling up
estates very much c1rtailed. It will
also do away with much Of the delay,
upon the great number Of
references.

The bill introduced, looking to q
change in our judicial circuits and
the creation of two additional ones
and the election Of two additional
judges, has all been postponed to the
next session. Some Of our exchanges,
that have been nominating judges for
the new circuits to be created, will
find themselves q little premature as
it is vet in doubt as to whether we
will have such a law passed, and then
if those counties should be left in the
old circuits, they woald be counted
out. But nothing like being in time.
