New High School Law for
South Carolina.

The high school bill introced in
the senate by MIR Raysor will mall
probability become law. Some
of the many advantages of the
measure are set forth IN the fol
lowing paragraphs taken from an
interview with a prominent edu-
Gator in the Columbia State:
First. That South Carolina
will be keeping pace with the
more progressive of her sister
States in the development of
high schools. Florida began this
work in 1902 Virginia and
Georgia took it up in 1906; and
North Carolina now has pending
bill calling for an appropri
alton of$100, 900 for high schools.
"Second. That hundreds OF
boys and girls in theState who are
unable to 90 beyond the gram
mar grades Of a country school
will be able to get from two to
four years OF coveted high school
training.
Third. That boys and girls in
the towns with short and i'm per-
feet high school courses of study
will have access TO longer and
better ones.
"Fourth. That boys and girls
able to go to college will not be
compelled to go there unprepar-
ed, while their parents pay high
prices for training that their
children ought to have received
at home under the eyes of their
parents.
Fifth. That in the near fu-
ture the colleges will bo freed
from doing high school work, and
may return to legitimate college
work.
"Sixth. That indus rial, me.

will very soon find their places

Never use whisk broom TO clean a
hat. either stiff or soft particularly
soft hat. as It gradually removes the
fine surface originally on the hat. The
worst effect. however is the wearing

rough usage. The effect is more
quickly shown on the best grades of

to use under the curl of the hat, is
