that the deceased met his death be-

the evidence and surrounding circy n

liquor, and must have been asleep
on the. track. He left his fathers
home, less than o quarter of mile

State for its liberal policy in proyid-
ing for their training as teachers.
Each year better salaries are being
paid in the county schools, and for
severai years there have been in sew
eral counties country schools which
coilege-bred men of high reputation
are proud to teach. The simplicity,
freedom and beauty Of country life,
and tie growing advantages, with ,ele-
phones, mail deliveries and Libraries,
have peculiar charms for the scholar
and the thinker. The present indica.
tions are that within this decade
country school teaching in South
CaroliDc-so long held in disrepute-
will be recognized as q choice profess
sion. Already six to nine hundred
dollars year, with little expense for
living, is not an infrequent salary.
Professor Wardlaw's men readily find
desirable places, and the demand for
such men increases each year.
The course Of study is specially de-
signed to improve the public schools.
Last year it included, besides the
usual subjects, special instruction in
pedagogics, physics, nature study and
drawing, and the course for next year
has been enlarged and improved and
will include sight singing. The stu
dents had the benefit OF observation
and practice under critic teacher,
and next session will practice teach
ing in the Columbia public schools,
having tho benefit Of the supervision
| and criticisms of Columbia's best
| teachers.
The better to impress the school
spirit and arouse young men to sense
Of the dignity and magnitude Of their
profession, there will be series Of
lectures by leading school superinten-
dents and principals. Thus this body
Of young teachers will combine theory
and practice in their studies, and
every two or three weeks will be
stimulated by special message from
some notable educator fresh from daily
contact with the practical problems Of
the schoolroom.
It is thus that the College is seek
ing to execute the wise plan Of the
Legislature for improving the common
schools Of the State and raising the
standard Of citizenship. Assembling
within her walls and at the seat of
State government annually eishty-two
young men teachers from the forty
one counties Of the State, inspiring
and broadening them by contact with
students from all sections Of the State
and all spheres of life, strengthening
their State pride and their unity of
spirit with the best traditions of the
State, the South Carolina College will
teach them how to study and how to
live, and how to teach, aud will leave
upon them her mark as men and gen.
