\ Good idea to Teach.

The Columbia Record says that was
a most excellent idea advanced by
Senator Mcleod, or Lee county,
Saturday in his remarks on the toy
pistol bill. In arguing for the passage
of the bill, he declared that it was
time to teach children that pistols arc
things To be let alone, and h.: added
That it was hut Il brief step from the
toy pistol to the weapon more danger
Gus to the public at large. There is
good, sound philosophy at the bottom
OF this idea, it is one that has the
future in view, and it is full of
possibilities. We do not despair OF
seeing tho present generation brought
to the realization Of the awful evil of
pistol carrying, for already we have
noticed il tendency 10 Il revolution OF
sentiment on this question outside of
the newspapers. which, to their ever
lasting credit, are, Il unit in condemn
ing the pcrnicious practice. But if it
is impossible to turn from the evil OF
their way those who now habitually
carry concealed weapons, the custom
can be wholly cradicatcd If Il general
effort is made To cngraft into the
minds Of the rising generation the
idea that Il pistol is something to be
let alone, and if kept at all, only
about ones premises as Il protection

IL Is Enforced,
His IEscnpe

a well known lawyer of Spartan
burg has furnished to the newspapers
Of that town the following statement:
In 1894 an act was passed by the
legislature OF South Carolina to pro-
vide for the teaching Of physiology
and hygiene in the public schools OF
South Carolina, with particular refer
cncc to the effect Of alcoholic drinks
and narcotics upon the human Sys-
tenn. 1t Is made the duty Of the pro-
per officers in control OF any school
supported wholly or in part by public
money to enforce the provisions of
this act. 1T was further provided that
any such officer, school director, COM
mittcc, superintendent or teacher
who should refuse or neglect to carry
out the provisions Of the act should be
removed from Office. If am correct
ly informed this act has never been
carried into effect and has remained q
dead letter upon our statute books.
Upon whom the blame rests l cannot
say, but it is evident that some one
has been dcrelict, and IL The plain
provisions Of the act were carried out
many removals Of school officials would
take place. This act has never been
repealed SO far as / can find out from
somewhat careful examination or
the statutes and OF the constitution
Of South Carolina, and 1t remains to
be seen what our new superintendent
Of education will do in the premises. .
What this lawyer says may be true as
to Spartanburg and Spartanburg
County, but 1t is not true as to Or
angcburg and Oranscburg County,
Physiology and hygiene is taught in
our city and country schools as re-
Quircd by law.
