THE HIGH SCHOOL LAW.
Confused tumble Incapable of lnteili-
qent Interpretation.

gent Interpretation.
The Observer has been trying TO
study out the high school law adopted
by the state legislature, but it can
not make much out of 1t. 1t would
take a Philadelphia lawyer to tell
what 1t means.
Two school districts in this county
voted for high chools-Prosperitya and
Little Mountain. Then Prosperity was
told that 1t could not go 1t alone. but
must have another school district
with It; and she got Excelsior to go
in with her. They will probably get
the high school; but whether 1t will
be any different from the present
school remains to be seen. We be-
lieve it has not yet been decided
whether Little Mountain Is to get her
high school or not.
We see, by the way, that the city
of Union is going to vote on the ques-
ton of getting q "high school, under
the act, though we had understood
that no town Of more than a thou
sand inhabitants was to have any
part or lot in the matter.
The thing is in a tangle-a crude
and undigested scheme, like a good
deal Of other ill-considered legislation
somebody anxious to do something
for the dear people" and rushing in
to do 1t without knowing exactly
what he Is doing.
If the fifty thousand dollars appro-
priated to the high school, scheme
had been added to the common school
fund 1t would have done a great deal
more good than it will ever accom-
plish in its present mixed-up shape;
or It might have been left in the treas
ury to help keep down taxes.
The idea involved is wrong. 1t looks
like the scheme of politician-this
matter of cutting cities and towns out.
1t Is utterly absurd to think Of estab-
fishing high schools in all the country
school districts, or in any considera-
BILE portion of them, without bank
rupting the taxpayers; and to estab-
lish them in some and not in others Is
simply unjust and unfair. The school
districts that get the "high schools
may be at one end Of the county
convenient of access to those only
who are already getting the ordinary
school advantages.
If there Is an honest and earnest
desire to establish high schools In
South Carolina let 1t be gone about In
a sensible way. The place for high
school In a county, Is at the county
seat, where 1t would be convenient
and accessible to far more children
than at any other point. So far from
that, the present law, If we understand
its provisions, forbids the establishing
of a high school at any place Of more
than a thousand population; which
amounts to excluding the county seats
entirely.
The best thing to do for this law Is
to repeal it, and then, If anything Is
to be done in the high school line'
start new, and let somebody put the
idea in shape who knows something
about the educational needs of the
state and Is not concerned about try
ing to make votes.-Newberry OBJ

Cord Used to Support Readers Head
Gets on Neey.
A peculiar fatality is reported from
Skogmo, where Albert Bakken, fifteen
years old, was found lying dead in bed
with small cord fastened about his
neck. He had been strangled to
death.
The boy had received package of
books by express and had taken them
to his room. He lay down on the bed
and started to read q book. but be-
coming tired of holding the volume
he took the cord which had been
around the package and with it made
a loop which he fastened to the top
of the bed, and thrust the arm holding,
the book through this loop, SO that it
might be supported. A younger
brother reports having seen the boy
reading in this position. When, how
ever, he did not come down to supper
his father went to call him and found
him dead with the cord about his
neck.
How the cord came to be about the
boys neck only can be surmised. but
it is supposed that he had slipped the
moose over his head to support his
neck, and perhaps fell asleep. The
slip-knot became loosened and allow
ed the cord to tighten until strangula-
ton ensued.

The statements in regard to the food

NO SUCH RECORD OF TALK.
Fifty.ninth Congress the Most TaIka.
tive in the Country's History,

tive in the Country's History.
Completed records made by clerks
of the senate and house show that the
last congress - the Fifty-ninth-did
more talking than any other in the his
tory of the country. Their researches
go back fourteen years, or to the Fifty
second congress. The latter congress
filled 1920 pages of the Congressional
Record with its talk, as against 4,8l0
for the Fifty-ninth.
In the FiftysecOnd congress 1928
bills were introduced, but the Fifty
ninth set new figure with 25,S97. The
Fiftysecond congress was in session
$40 legislative days and passed 1913
public and 324 private bills. The Fifty
ninth was in session 227 legislative
days and passed G92 public and G.24S
private acts. Most of the measures
known as private acts are for the cor.
rection of military records or the grant
of pensions.
No congress ever passed the number
of bills that were made into law as
the Fifty-ninth. 1t appears that such a
thing as a dishon0rablc discharge from
the army or navy, nncorrected by leg
islative act. will soon be a positive Gu
riosity. Congress is not only gcncr-
Gus to the nationals fighting men in
the matter of pensions. but it is also
charitable in the matter of cxpunsing
from the records anything set down
against their conduct.
