NATIONAL EDUCATION DAY, 81
AT CORN EXPOSITION.

Columbia, Nov. 29.-Walter H.
Page of New York, editor of The
Worlds Work, and DR.. David F.
Houston of ST. Louis, Chancellor of
Washington University, have accept
ed invitations to deliver addresses on
National Education Day at the Fifth
National Corn Exposition here next
January. Both men are we'll known
in this section. DR.. Houston is one
of the most prominent educators of
the South. Both he and Mr.. Page
have devoted much time to the study
of problems pertaining to the better
ment of rural life.
National Education Day has been
fixed for Friday, January 81, the Ex-
position opening on the 9th. Other
prominent educators who have accept
ed invitations to speak on this ray are
Mr.. j. d. Eggleston, State Superin-
tendent of Education of Virginia, and
Miss Mabel Carney, of Normal Uni
cersity, Normal, ILL.,, Secretary of the
Illinois Country Life Federation. The
addresses of this day will be directed
to real problems in school improve
ment and in the improvement and de-
velopment of rural schools especially.
A series of exhibits, demonstrating
the methods, value and need of ru-
raj school improvement, is being pre-
pared for the Exposition by President
ID. b. johnson and a. special commit
tee of the Winthrop faculty. Treat
ing a different phrose of the same
subject will be country community ex-
hlbit, to be put on by Miss Mabel
Carney in cooperation with the rural
life department of the Presbyterian
Board of home missions, of New
York. This exhibit will deal with ru-
raj school and church problems, and
their relations to the rural commu-
nifty. DR.. S. C. Mitchell, President
OF the University of South Carolina,
is In charge of program arrangements
for National Education Day.
Much to the regret of all South
Carolinians, President Woodrow Will
son has been obliged to decline the
invitation to speak on National Edu-
cation Day at the Exposition. To the
committee who extended this invita-
ton, Governor Wilson expressed his
interest in the Exposition, and his
desire to be present, but he felt that
ne could not absent himself from his
State during the coming session of
the New Jersey legislature, in view
of the constructive legislative pro-
gram which has been planned for
this session, to be carried through
before Governor Wilson resigns to be-
come president OF the United States.
South Carolina friends of Governor
Wilson, however, still entertain hopes
that ne may find it convenient to visit
the Exposition here next January.

The State department of educatidp
distributed to the special tax school
district of the several counties the
amount of State aid to which each
district was entitled for the scholastic
year l911-12. The first appropriation
to lengthen the school term was made
in 1909. The $4,000 then granted
by the legislature proved to be "a
great stimulus throughout the stat. ss
The legislature Of 1910 continied
the policy under what is known VS.
the Garris act, appropriating 100000

schools. During 1910 234 schoo ldis-
tricts voted local tax in order to
qualify for State aid, while during
1911 223 districts voted local school
tax for the game purpose. The result

Scientists here consider the light
weight of the brain of DIR. Musser ex-
traordinary, but they explain it by
saying DR.. Musser developed along
one line, not broadening out in all
lines, and therefore not fully develop

volutions in DIR. Muser's brain show
that he exercised portions of it to a

My Dear Mr.. Gray:
/ understand there is movement
on foot to defeat Senator Jonathan
Bourne, who is candidate for re-

encouraged by the fact that Senator
Bourne has decided to make no active
campaign or personal canvass for re-

tirely to the people, who have the
power to return him to the senate If
they so wish, and who, he believes,

year suspended sentences on 1891 persons
actually arrested and convicted. OF thir-
teen murderers convicted not one was exc

criminals and crimes is doing harm Grim

even If they have lot Of good friends and

men go with suspended sentences you are
going TO have an increase of crime"
The Commissioner placed New York be-
tween the extreme of London. on the one
hand, and Paris. on the other In London
he said. crime was punished rigidly and the
consequence was that patrolmen could 90

In Paris, however, the police were heavily

in which the courts failed to back up the

condition that New York was rapidly drift

The New York police, he said, were the

were doing good work. Times had changed.
