Americans are much given to scoffing at poetry
They are too ''hard headed" for the sentimental
too occupied with affairs of life to heed art
Yet they lose themselves in the glory of sunset or
the bubble of the brook.
1t is very true: Deep in his heart every man ia a
poet.
When the long shadows out to hide the fall day

lean to catch pictures in the and dream the
chidke dreams of forty ago. the poet is at work

BIBLES PLACED IN HOTEL.
Fifty Eight Bibles Purchased and
Sufficient Funds Left to- Purchase
Bibles for New Hotels.

1t will be of interest To the people
OF this city to know that Wednesday
. Bibles were placed in all of the rooms
Of the Sumter Hotel. following out
the plan announced several weeks ago
in the various churches of the city
when a fund was raised for this pur-
pose.
The fund was raised under the aus
pices of the Gideon Bible Society a
brotherhood of travelling men formed
for the purpose of spreading the Cos
pei. Al the time the fund was raised
in the various churches of the city
Mr. IL. l.. Burchard, secretary of the
Y. NJ. c. a.. was placed in charge .of
II and directed to place the Bibles in
the hotel as soon as it was convenient.
The Bibles which were placed in The
hotel of which there were fifty-eight,
are Of good legible print and bound
in strong black cloth covers.
About one-third of the fund raised
for this purpose was spent in securing
the Bibles which were placed in the
Sumter Hotel and there Is still suffi-
cient money left to get Bibles to place
in the two new hotels as soon as they
are opened. If permission can be OBJ
tanned from the management to do
this. If permission cannot be obtain
ed from the management of the new
hotels to place Bibles in the rooms.
then the fund will be used for similar
purpose where il will do the most
good.

THE EDUCATIONAL COMMISSION.

Several years ago. under an Act Of
the legislature. Governor Ansel ap-
pointed a Commission to revise the
laws OF the state relating to educa-
ton. The Commission worked with
tho most painstaking assiduity and
prepared set of laws that would
have given continuity and integrity
to the school system In South Caro-
lima. For several reasons the Leg
islature has postponed from year TO
year the consideration of the bill
proposed by the Commission. and this
piece OF work. the creation of men
who. from their positions and en-
periences. should have known what
they were doing. has lain dormant in
the legislative archives. We trust
that this bill Is only dormant and not
extinct; for we need a systematic set
OF laws relating TO education, and
from the examination that We have
given this bill. we feel that IL will
lpe a part OF wisdom for the Legisla-
ture to take up this set of laws as
prepared by the Commission for i'm
mediate consideration at its next ses-
sion.
We have understood that the Com
mission Is prepared to revise some
Of the provisions Of the bill-those
features that appear to be most radi-
cal and Objectionable. We trust that
the Commission, which in our judg-
ment Is not formally dissolved until
Its report shall have been definitely
acted upon. may prepare a revised
bill To present at the next session of
the Legislature.
What the laws relating TO education
lack now are system and consistency.
TO attempt. therefore, to revise these
laws by separate bills would result
In confusion worse confounded. A
bill embracing all of the laws relat-
Ing to education should he presented.
In this way. only. can we hope ever
to haze a school system wor ,hy the
name.
Professor w. VI. Hand has been
publishing series Of excellent papers
relative TO the need of better sys-
tenn Of schools for South Carolina.
Between all Of the lines one may read
the crying need OF a systematic set Of
laws for the educational interest IS
Of the whole state In view of the
work that they have already done the
gentlemen who compose this Com
mission may best revise this set of
laws TO he presented in their en-
tirety To the next Legislature. We
trust that the Commission may work
upon these laws and have final
draft ready when the Legislature
convenes. May we not at the same
time express the hope that the gen
tlemen who compose the next Gener-
al Assembly may aggressively take
advantage Of an opportunity to render
the state Of South Carolina a gcn-
uine service by enacting this pro-
posed bill OF really constructive leg
tslation?
