HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION. AGAIN.

Col. A. r. Banks, superintend-
ent of Lancaster's graded schools,
who, as previously noted in The
News, is spending a few weeks
in Columbia, where he is engaged
in writing an educational history
Of South Carolina, writes the ed
itor as follows in relation to the
proposed high school in Lancas
Ter:
Prof. Hand, of University of
South Carolina, has written to
you i'll reference to the High
School. From what he says, a
high school can be secured at
Lancaster without a cent Of eX-
ira levy. The only req lirement,
he says, is to have one or more
adjacent school distric s, or one
or more townships by vote ex-
press willingness to cooperate
with theLancaster Graded School
District in this matter. If this
is true, and it must be true. or
Prof. Hand, who has given the
Act a careful study, would not
make the statement, there seems
nothing in the way OF having a
State High School at Lancaster.
Should one be established, the
State High School Board would
appropriate from 500 to $500,
a sum sufficient to employ good
teacher and equip Business or
Industrial Department. 1t will
be well, at least, 10 investigate
the matter"
We sincerely hope that the
matter will be taken up at once
by our people. If it is possible for
us to enlarge the graded schools
present high school department
without any additional cost what
ever, we would be standing in
our own light not to do so. 1t
would also be a great thing for
Lancaster to have business and
industrial department in the
school. 1t appears that the State
stands ready to furnish the neces-
sary money for these additional
advantages. Shall we take what
is offered us 4?
