The attorney general has rendered
an opinion that Is Of much interest
to school people: He decides that the
state board of education has authority
to say what constitutes a college
within the meaning of section 1900 OF
the state school law exempting candi-
dates for certificates to teach in the
public schools Of the state from the
examination by the county boards.
This section exempts those who pro-
duce a full diploma from any charter
ed college or university Of this state.
The state board has decided upon this
list of colleges 1t will recognize
South Carolina college, Wofford. Fur
man, Newberry college, Chicora COL
lege, Converse, Winthrop, Clemson,
Charleston college, Presbyterian COL
lege for Women, Lander Female COL
lege, Presbyterian College Of South
Carolina, Due West Female college,
Limestone Female college. Greenville
Female college, Erskine college, South
Carolina Military academy, Columbia
Female college-and these colleges:
Clafiin college, the State Colored col
lege at Orangeburg, Benedict insti-
tute, Avery Normal college and Allen
university. The good sense Of the
opinion Is manifest when it Is re-
membered that any school may be
chartered as a college If It is willing
TO pay a few dollars for the charter fee.
