might be changed and the battle of
life made easier.

A STATE UNIVERSITY.
State superintendent OF Education
Wants to Combine Citadel and caro-


In his annual report made public
tuesday State Superintendent Of Edu-
cation o. B. Martin makes numbsr of
important and some of them radical
recommendations, as follows:
Superintendent Martin discusses the
Aull library act, passed by the last
legislature, and recommends that it
continue in force with certain improve
ments which he proposes. The law at
present provides that when the friends
or patrons of school have raised $40
by priva' subscription for the pur-
pose Of library, the amount OF $40
for said library shall be appropriated
from the funds OF the district in which
the school is located and the same
amount from a fund set apart by the
State, making $50 for each oountv.
Only twelve schools in each county
may avail themselves Of the privileges
OF the act during any one year. The
law went into operation this year, and
large number Of free school Libraries IS
have been established under its pro-
visions.
The report recommends that the
time be extended when distric. may
vote special tax.
That school building law, based on
the law of eelf-helps be enacted.
1t is earnestly recommended that
the dignity and the salary of the office
of county superintendent of education
be improved.
That the establishment OF county
high schools with industrial features
be begun.
That an educational commission to
rewrite the school law be appointed.
That the South Carolina Military
Academy, at Charleston, and the South
Carolina College, at Columbia, be com.
bined, forming the South Carolina
University.
That South Carolina Day be observed
in the public schools.
That legal enrolment for attendance
upon public night schools be allowed.
