The South Carolina College
for Teachers.

although nearly approaching its CEN
CenAaal anniversary, the South CarDdna'
CoHege shows none of the decrepifudeI
OF old sge, but rather increasing signs
or vigorous life. A new departure of
great Importance to the College and to
the State has just been ina1lgurated
For some years the College has had q
department of pedagogy, for the train
ing or teachers: but last winter, for the
hrst time, the Legislature created a
number of endowed normal scholar
ships, one for each county 1t is the,
intention of the Trustees and Faculty
10 set these scholarships upon a high
, plane, and to seek thereby to qualify
superior young men for positions OF
leadership and influence in our public
schools. However largely women may
be employed as teachers, the work of
superintendence, direction and control
must continue to be most largely In the
nandS or the men; and it is to supply
these teachers of leadership and in
nuence. In the community as well as in
the schools. that the College will chiefly
aim, through these scholarships. Hence,
no young man under nineteen wears OF
age will be eligible, and preference VIII
De given to those applicants who have
already taught with success for at
least one year.
A special and technical course of
stnoy has been established, on a high
yet practical plane: and It Is intended
that this department shall be worthiSy
entitled to be called a college for
Teachers" All the work will be dis
rnctiVely normal, and apart from the
regular College classes. The Trustees
ana Faculty feel sure that in preparing
body Of strong and we'll equipped
men teachers the College viii aid in
supplying one OF the most important
needs OF the State. They hope Also,
that this work. In its success and it's
results may meet with such public ap-
proval AZ to lead hereafter to its stili
further enlargement
Circulars have been issued giving the
details OF regulations and course of
study.
The present session, now nearly
ended. has been very encouraging. Not
ripple has disturbed the internal
peace OF the College. The new Presi-
dent has won golden opinions, and has
more than maintained the confidence
and affection gained in his long service
as professor. The friends Of the Col
iege look hopefully forward to the con-
tinued success and increased usefulness
OF this vensrated institution, which win
soon enter upon its second century OF
honorable history.
