A Yearly Complaint.
Columbia Evening Record.

Columbia Evening Record.
Assistant Superintendent OF Edu-
cation, in an interview, complains OF
the carelesspess of teachers and
County Superintendents in making
their annual reports. This is by no
means condition peculiar to the Su-
perintendent's Office. All State Of
fees are making the same complaint,
and in many instances the reports
have to be sent back for correction.
This is not only annoying but it
greatly retards the work of prepar-
ing annual reports. Every year in
structions are sent out in the simplest
language possible, but every year the
same complaint of errors are heard.

department are at present working

stamps which of course, are not in
existence. Such postmasters are
lured on by samples sent them,
these samples being genuine stamps
