PUBLIC EDUCATION IN The sauIH.

The time is here, in Alf the southeast
ern states, when the eyes of the nation
are on the progress being made in indus
trial affairs. II these states will take
advantage Of the open door of opportu-
nifty. the future will mark tremendous
progress.
One feature of the present which de-
mands attention is that of public educa-
ton, and in recent issue of the Colum
bia, S. C. State appeared an editorial
which deserves wide circulation and
consideration. The editorial pertains
especially to South Carolina schools but
is equally applicable to the schools of
the other adjoining states.
The following paragraphs are taken
from the article:
IF the schools of South Carolina
are to be efficient the school laws
must be co-ordinated and made
symmetrical and harmonious. The
loose parts must be frightened and
the head of the system must have
such authority as will make his
headship real and therefore poten-
tlai for reform. These aims the
members of the commission pro-
vided by the last legislature have
had before them in their work which
pears fruit in report proposing a
system that, retaining so much of
the old law as has not outlived its.
usefulness, viii give the schools a
fair start in an effort to catch up
with and keep abreast of the schools
in states far in our lead. We sup
pose no South Carolinian is so vain
as to deny that many American
states are years in advance of South
Carolina in educating its youth.
Much has been accomplished in this
State in spite of the obstacles of
poverty but, if more is done, the
way must be cleared Out of date
statutes stand in the way.
Schools can not be managed sue
cessfully by political methods, more
than manufacturing plant or mer-
camille concern may be. Somebody
must be at the head of the system,
bearing the responsibility for its d.
rection. That responsibility no COM
] Ipetent, self-respecting man cares
to accept and hold indefinitely I'M
less he be given lawful power to
carry out his plans. If objection be
raised that the commission of re-
vision would confer too great power
upon the State superintendent and
make it possible for him to build I'D
a personal machine with school
trustees, teachers and members of
subordinate boards as its parts, the
answer is that either that risk must
be assumed by the people or they
must be content with inferior SER
vice and its unwelcome results.
while the suggestions of the
commission are, on the whole, ex-
cellent, it may be that in the amend
ments to the constitution that it
asks for, it might go further. That
county superintendent be chosen
by county boards of education from
persons having prescribed qualifica-
tions fitting them for educational
work, rather than by popular cleo
ton, is patiently necessary"

days Retcn prints a long story, filed
with apparently official details, of the
reported intention of Russia to reoc-
cupy the Iii region OF Chinese Tur-
kestan. Kuldja will be the first town
seized, the Reich says.
Further conferences were held at
the ministry OF war, the purpose Of
which was not disclosed. 1t is geper-
ally accepted that they had TO do with
military preparations for the threat
ened invasion.
Russia IS aggrieved over the zlieg-
ed violation by China OF the treaty OF
1881, under which the Russians evac-
uated the Ill province. after having
held 1t for ten years, in return for
which Russia was to receive CONNER
cial concessions in III, Mongolia and
Manchnria. 1t is said that these rights
have gradually been curtaiied until
the treaty is practically at an end.
While the invasion, IL undertaken,
will be considered equivalent to a de-
claration OF war. 1t Is not believed
here that actual hostilities will be
engaged In, as ii Is considered certain
that China viii yield at the first show
OF military aggression. Should she re-
sist, war will be inevitable.
Among the violations alleged
against China are the hindering of
Russian merchants from selling tea
In Chinese territory. and the refusal
to permit Russian consuis in many
Chinese cities.

FINE EXAMPLE.

1t is little short of distressing paradox
that Richmond, the most progressive city in the
State of Virginia and leader among the grow.
Ing municipalities of the entire South, nestles
in the heart of what might DO termed reac-
tionary county. Ienrco county enjoys the un.
enviable distinction of being one Of the lonely
two counties in this enterprising and rapidly
developing Commonwealth which have not float
ed bonds to build good roads The other county
is Scott The last named county turned down a
bond issue last fall and the reason assigned BY
the advocates of improved thoroughfares was
that the voters in the county were not educated
up to the value of good roads. This may be a
valid excuse or reason for the failure of Scott
to get into the march of progress. Henrico is
amply educated up to the value of modern
thoroughfares, a majority of its residents
prefer the roads they have
The counties of the Southwestern part of Vir-
gnia have voted. or will vote. total of $4,000
900 for the construction OF good roads, and In SO
doing they have set a splendid example for all
other counties. Wise county has appropriated
100000 for use on tho roads. Tazewell is pre-
pairing to create bond issue of 100000 for the
building of modern highways. and there seems
every reason for believing the project will carry.
Lee cuntys citizens have voted TO tax them.

and Russell county has favorably voted on a
s275000 good roads bond issue. The total
amount of money appropriated by these three
counties, $1,339,0o0. is almost equal to the ag.
gregate good roads appropriations of the other

well has voted, the total of S2,S23.000 for good

These handsome bond issues attest the good
work done by the State Highway Commissioner
and his assistant. who have made many trips to
the Southwest portion of the State and worked
up and sustained greater improved highway en-
thusiasm among the mountain folk than has
been manifested anywhere else in Virginia or
the South
The most westerly, mountainous and inacces
sible counties of the State have forged far ahead
OF all others, and their example should be fol.
lowed by counties which have level land on
which to work, equally as patriotic and sensible
citizens just as much need for good roads as

building modern thoroughfares. II all the
