knowledge is power. but it is power
merely because il enables us to do some
thing. and 10 do Something enables us
to he something, and t, be something is
what constitutes character, and this last
is the only thing which we can take into
the worlu to come. Education is not
reading and writing alone; it is reading
and writing, but il is something more,
something better. something higher.
We read and write not as All end, but
aS 4 means. Ii We take what we know
to be the end. we shall never do any

us to do something worth beng done

Governor Charles b. Aycock.
The above is tue and we want every
white child in South Carolina given the
po,tunity to do something and to be
something. Education draws out and
awakens the dormant faculties and
gives the mind aspirations and when
properly directed aspirations to do high
and noble things. Let us give every child
the opportunity to strive to attain high
ideals. Many times the parents are
careless or Indifferent. That is the rea-
son we favor compulsory education
The State forces us to pay tax for the
education Of the children because that
education better fits them for the high
and responsible duty Of citizenship and
if that be true as it is then the State has
right to say to the parent you give
your child the advantage Of this educa-
ton which is furnished. 1t will hurt no
one but will help thousands of children.
