BETTER SCHOOLS
NEEDED IN STATE.
w. n. HAND, SOUTH CAROLINA
HIGH SCHOOL INSPECTOR,
MAKES STATEMENT.
SHOULD IMPROVE SYSTEM
Even Before Attempting to Increase
School Revenue II Would Be the
Part of Wisdom to Use What We
Already Have to Better Purpose.

Columbia.-Taking the schools OF
the state as whole, no well inform
ed, clear-thinking man would for a
moment question the need OF more
money for them. 1t would be difficult
to conceive of too much money
for schools of the right kind. But
money is not all that is necessary 10
making and maintaining a system OF
good schools. Even before attempt
ing to increase the school revenue 1t
would be the part of wisdom to use
what we already have to better pur-
pose. The people are willing to be
taxed even heavily for anything in
herently good that proves itself
good investment The taxpayers have
a right to demand wise expenditure
Of the school funds. The same peo-
pie who pay the taxes have the ulti-
mate control of the expenditure or
their taxes. The whole matter is their
question. Now, before asking the tax
payer for more money for the schools
let us do at least two things: /.
Use more economy and common sense
in the expenditure Of what funds we
have. 2. Begin to construct school
system that meets present demands
and that will lend itself to the grow
ing demands of the modern state.
In short, If our schools are to be eff
cient, they must be organized; If the
organization is to be effective, it must
be thoroughly articulated throughout
the state, and from the elementary
schools through the university.
The unit of school organization is
one of the most potent factors for
good or evil in any school system.
The efficiency OF any system must
stand the test of at least two stand
ards; the efficiency of the individual
schools constituting the system, and
the simplicity and ease OF admins
tration of the aggregation Of schools.
Among the state school systems are
found three distinct types of units;
the district, the township, and the
county, with the additional city units
which may occur inside any Of these
three. In this state We have mixed
type.
