FREE GRADED Sl:ROOL.

LaSG S3CufOay aOOUG GWeuty pGISoAS
met in the court house to discuss the
practicabiity Of free graded school
for Manning. Mr.. ]. ]. Bagnal was
called to the chair, and several gentle
men were called upon to address the
meeting. Il was thought that about
half the money could be raised by
means of the constitutional two mill
tax, q special two mill tax, the poll
tax, and the possible $500 from the
Peabody fund, and that the balance
would have to be made up by charg-
ing tuition fees. But if tuition fees
are charged it will not be free school;
and the result of the meeting last
Friday but confirmed what we have
heretofore held, that it is impossible
to sustain public graded school in
Manning, with less than an eight or
ten mill tax levy. Any institution to
be successful must have financial
backing. If Manning we're possessed
of three or four times her present
wealth then We could successfully
talk of free graded school: but the
talk at present simply means an effort
to establish 8 third school in this
place which, while it viii charge tut
ton fees, yet by having the benefit Of
all the public money and an addi-
tional special tax, will be enabled to
charge only about half the tuition fees
now charged.
We candi6ly think the parties who
are making this effort to set third
school are taking the wrong step. Il
is impossible, and every sensible man
will readily admit this, to run a free
graded school in Manning. Then why
not let these parties who are so deeply
interested in establishing pay school
which shall get all the public money,
do, as others interested in the schools
of this place have had to do, back up
their proposed school with their own
capital The proper and legitimate
way to proceed, is for the parties in
tereste3 in the new school to form
company backed up with the cash,
rent their school house, hire their
teachers, and come in honest compe.
tition with other schools. The plan
proposed is to get all the public money
now given TO all the schools, tax the
people for almost as much more, and
then with all this public pap, place
their tuition fees where other schools
cannot compete with them.
We desire to repeat, what We have
reiterated time and again, that we are
in favor of anything that will forward
the progress Of Manning and Cleren-
don; we are heartily in favor Of free
graded school for Manning, and when
the time comes when one can be sup
ported, we viii be foremost in its es-
Enlistment; but We also say We do
not believe in any such scheme as is
now on foot.
A petition IS circulating for sigma
lures to have free graded school in
Manning. We have given plain, un-
vanished facts. a free graded school
cannot be established with less than
an eight or ten mill taS levy. All the
public money to one school, including
a special two mill tax, simply means
to let one school run at very low tut
ton rates, and make those who patron
Me other schools pay the same tuition
fees as now.

The Connecticut State Board Of Ed
ucation has issued a report from which
1t appears that illiteracy is all too fre-
quent in that State. Examples Of ex-
animation are given which show low
state Of educational comprehension
among children, and inquiry has been
instituted as to the cause of this con-
dition. It is not difficult to find in
the figures of salaries paid to teachers
which appear in the same report,
There are fifteen male teachers in the
State who were paid $40 or less pc,
month for their services, and si1ty-siS
males and $50 females who received
s25 or less per month. OF course
nothing like the above could be said
ofSouth Carolina, though, by the way,
since We come to remember, there are
few teachers in Clarendon who get
much less than twenty dollars, and are
well paid too.
