SUPERVISOR OF SCHOOLS.
New Position on staff Of the State
Superintendent Of Education.

It is the intention of State Super
intendent of Education Swearingen
to add a State supervisor Of schools
to his staff, as soon as he can find
a suitable man for the place. He
feels the pressing need of such an
assistant to perform the functions OF
sort Of general engineer for the
school system Of the State, to help
the various local school communities
to work out various problems of ad-
ministration and improve the school
system generally.
He has felt the need Of making
this step for improvement and bet
terment for some time, but since hls
return from the Little Rock meeting
of the Conference for Education
ir the South he is more than ever
convinced Of the need Of such a STEP
Mr.. Swearingen says he was very
profoundly impressed with the man
ner presented to the conference IN
which Virginia is solving the consoh-
dation of rural schools problem, Vlr-
ginia's example being particularly in
structive to South Carolina on ac-
count of the similarity between the
two States in population and social
and political traditions, which makes
Virginia's rural school problems
strikingly similar to South Caro-
lina's. It was shown that Virginia
has reached a nearer ideal solution
Of this consolidation problem than
perhaps any other Southern State,
the tendency toward fewer and bet~
ter schools being constant.
"Of course" said Mr.. Swear1ngen,
"the one-room school house is here
to stay for some time yet, because
it is the ultimate recourse in import
ant particulars, parents naturally
preferring their very small children
not to be taken in wagons to the con-
solidated schools eight to ten miles
away, but the improvement and grad
ing Of the consolidated schools leave
the local school teacher with more
time to devote to the local needs. We
need such conditions in South Caro-
lima as have been worked out in Vir-
ginia, and rural school supervisor
could effect this, as he could accom-

Another paper read at the meeting
Of the conference which impressed
Mr.. Swearingen as being particularly

SMALLPOX AT FLAT RIVER

Smallpox is reported at Flat Riv-
er, and it is not yet known how
widespread it may be. 1t seems
that salcswoman in oneof the stores
of that town had skin eruption
which was diagnosed as chickenpox.
1t was not an aggravated case and
the young woman continued her
work in the store. Several persons
have since broken out with erup-
tions and their cases have been de
clared 10 be smallpox. The Flat
River Board of Health has taken
the matter in hand, and ON Tuesday
five houses in which cases have de
vcloped have been placed under
quarantine. 1t may be that there
are other cases which have not been
made known, and that still others
who have been exposed may take It.
