ClaXton. United States commissioner
Of education, today characterized the
work Of S. H. Edmunds. superintend-
ent Of schools at Sumter, in keeping

Analysis Of figures presented by Mr..
Edmunds showed that comparatively

ter school syste here are 63 pu-
pills in the frs : . high school, 63 in
the second ~ 60 in the third, and

der @ proportion in a public high
% The work Of these boys and
in college is highly commended
President S. c. Mitchell of the
University of South Carolina, and
President D. B. Johnson of the Win
| throp Normal and Industrial college,
both Of whom declare that the Sum.
ter pupils were notably we'll prepared.
DR.. Mitchell says Mr. Edmunds has
effectively answered the question:
How to hold boys in high school,"
The superintendent himself men,
tions number of points that seem to
him to account for the enviable fig
| ures. In the first place, he cites the
fact that in his system boys and girls
are educated separately from the sixth
grade up, making it possible to apply
education more directly TO the special
needs Of each sex. Again, he points
| to his military company of grammar
and high school boys, in charge of a
| regularly employed cornmandant, as
| another feature that proves attrac-
| tive.
More fundamental from the edu-
| cational point Of view than either Of
these is the insistence by the super
intendent that each pupil Shall realize
that he is an individual, not mere
cog in the machine. Thus a valuable
sense Of personal pride is developed,
which leads to a desire for more and
| more education. AS a further incen-
Tive for the pupils to remain until
| the end OF the course, graduation from
| high school is made an important
event in the students career.
| Although giving due weight TO these
explanations, educators who have in
vestigated the conditions believe there
is deeper reason for the presence
of so many pupils in the Sumter high
schools According to Prof. Hand,
State high school inspector OF South
| Carolina, the real secret is to be found
in the cordial personal relation that
exists between Superintendent Ed
munds and the boys and girls in his
system.
| Whatever the exact explanation, the
success in keeping boys and girls I'M
school at Sumter is an unusual one
in American high schools. and demon
strates what can he done even with
the odinary curriculum in a school
where an enthusiastic superintendent
puts his whole soul into the task Of
education and inspires an entire COM
munity with some of his own fervor.

DEMOCRATS TO REVISE TARIFF TO LOOSE MORTGAGES GRIP.
GOVERNORS. AT FINAL SES-
SION, ADOPT FINANCE PLAN.
Believed That Scheme Will Result in
Greater Independence for Farmers
OF the Nation.

Richmond. Va, Dec. 6-The fifth
annual Governors conference ad-
jourred this afternoon to meet infor-
mally tomorrow with President Taft
at Washington and discuss rural
credits, and to meet formally next
year at Colorado Springs at date
as yet undetermined In it's dying
hours 1t adopted a resolution, which,
in the opinion OF many delegates,
sounds the knell Of the time-honor-
ed mortgage on the farm and presages
the advent Of N new financial era for
the farmers of the country.
Should the intent of this prelimi-
airy resolution attain accomplishment
che governors believe that it will re-
suit in the establishment of a new
system of state banks throughout the
United States. governed by a uniform
State law
These banks. under the resolution,
would be financed by private capital
and would operate under legislation
sufficiently elastic to enable them to
issue bonds for short or long terms
upon American farms, in lieu Of
mortgages. The bonds. in turn, in
the opinion of the governors. would
be listed under State supervision on
the stock exchanges of the world.
The resolution under which 1t is
hoped to bring this about indorses the
addition OF plan Of financing rural
credits, YET to be detailed. but similar
to those abroad. 1t provides for the
appointment of a committee Of five
governors to draft such q plan and a.
bill legali7ing 1t. This bill must be
submitted to the governor Of each
state in the union and upon approval
OF two-thirds shall be sent to the leg
islature OF the various States for en-.
actmtnt.
The committee was not appointed
today but Gov. Plaisted Of Maine,
chairman Of the last session, was
authorized to name 1t later. He prob
ably will do so tomorrow in Wash
ington.
Many OF the governors will leave
here tomorrow at 9 o'clock in a spe-
cial train for Washington. Before
adjournment tonight the executive
committee appointed Miles C. Riley
of Madison. Wis. secretary and treas
urer. and John Franklin Fort, former
governor Of New Jersey, manager Of
the conference. Mr.. Fort will have
charge Of the programme Of next year
The conference also adopted resolu-
ton congratulating Gov Wilson of
New Jersey and Gov. Marshall Of In
diana upon their election as president
and vice president.
THE custom Of electing governors
to the highest Offices in the gift OF
the people" said Gov. Hadley, father
OF the resolution. "is a wise one. in
which. / am sure. we all concur"
