fects in our system. On my
visits to the schools all over the
state during the first three
months of the current session
I have rarely found more than
80 per cent. of. the annual school
enrolment in actual attendance.
In many cases this failure to
send children to school does not
difference to education
on the part of the parents, out
is one of the disastrous results
Of our system of farming.
Christmas day will find thous-
ands Of bales # cotton still in
the fields of South Carolina. We
cannot reasonably expect the
children to enter school as long
as the family resources are yet
unharvested in the fields. The
gathering of the cotton crop is
a long and tedious process. A
corn and grain crop is easily
harvested. The present low price
of cotton has thoroughly i'm
pressed upon us the disastrous
results Of a bumper cotton crop.
We have not duly considered
the educational importance of
diversified farming. AS long as
cotton keeps our children out OF
school until the first of January,
it is a curse at any price. The
children in other sections of the
United States have been in
school since the middle of Sep
tember. We cannot hope to
rear a generation which will
compete with them under a sys-
tenn of farming which from its
very nature keeps them in igno-
rance. IF the people of South
Carolina will increase the grain
and corn acreage and plant a
cotton crop which can be gath
cred by November 1st, we will
have more money and will not
be compelled to sacrifice their
children. Let us hope that the
perfecting of the cotton picker
will soon enable us to free our
selves from the incubus of igno-
rance.
There are thousands Of chill
dren in South Carolina to whom
parental ignorance, indifference
and greed are denying even the
simplest rudiments of ;en educa;
ton. No parent has the right
to condemn his children to be
''hewers of wood and drawers
Of water when opportunities
are freely offered by the state
South Carolina should vouchsafe
all her children a fair chance
and a square deal in the race fol
life"
While the mechanical cotton
picker promises to be a success
in the fat or slightly rolling
parts of the country, the likeli.
hood is that not for many years,
if ever, will it be utilized in the
hilly regions, and, for that mat.
ter. the day of it's introduction
into the low country is lot close
at hand. The fact for the peo.
pie of South Carolina to ponder
is that a great acreage in cotton
keeps the boys and girls out OF
school in the fall months. Tc
deprive a child of three months
schooling during the brief
years period that the schools
are open to the child is to pay
tremendous price for a bale OF
cotton.
AS concentration upon cotton
alone perpetuates ignorance, ig-
norance in turn increases the
slavishness to cotton. To learn
how to diversity crops one
should first know how to read.
