Pupils Individualized.

More fundamental from the educa tional
point of view than either of these is the
insistence by the superintendent that each
pupil shall realize that he is an individual.
not a mere cog in the machine. Thus a
valuable sense of personal pride is devel-
oped, which leads to a desire for more
and more education. AS a further in
centive 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 inves-
tigated the conditions believe there is a
deeper reason for the presence of SO
many pupils in the Sumter high schools.
According to Prof. Hand, the state high
school inspector of South Carolina. the real
secret is to be found in the cordial per-
sonal relation that exists between Supt
Edmunds and the boys and girls in mis-
system.
Whatever the exact explanation. the
success in keeping boys and girls in
school at Sumter is an unusual one in
American high schools.

SWAIN SEEKS TO WIN

IIIinoisan Writes to Commits
sioner Rudolph Describing in
Rhyme Bride He Wants.

Matrimonial duties were not contem-
plated for the officials of the District OF
Columbia government by the trainers OF
the organic act, but few weeks pass in
which the Commissioners are not asked
to consider a document or two bearing
the seal of cupid. In fact. the District
heads are beginning to wonder il a matri-
monial bureau as a regular department
of the local government would not be a
good thing.
Requests to the Commissioners to as
sist love sick SWANS in looking for wives
come from all parts of the country. Vari-
Gus excuses are offered by the writer's
for asking for assistance The latest ap-
pc al OF this kind was received by Com
missioner Rudolph this morning from
resident of Blue Island, ILL.,. who gives his
name as S. ID. Sinai and states that he
is SO busy working for living that he
hasn't time to look for a suitable wife.
Makes Appeal in Rhyme.
In order not to put the Commissioners
to great trouble in attending to the mat
ter for him, Mr.. Sinai inclosed poem.

HIGH SCHOOL SYSTEM
HIGHLY COMMENDED
Record Made by Supermtend-
ent at Sumter, S. c., Glass;
ed as Remarkable.

A truly remarkable record is the
comment of DIR. P. p. Claxton, United
States commissioner Of education, upon
the work of S. H. Edmunds. superin-
tendent of schools at Sumter. S. c., in
keeping boys and girls in high school.
Analysis of figures presented by Mr..
Edmunds showed that comparatively few
fall by the way in the Sumter school
system. There are sixty-three pupils in
frst-year high school. sixts-three in the
second year, sixty in the third and fifty
five in the fourth year. Last year fifty
three graduated from high school and
forty went to college. an almost unpre-
cedented proportion in public high
school.
Work Highly Commended.
lege is highly commended by President
s. c. Mitchell of the University of South
Caroline and President D. B. Johnson of
the Winthrop Normal and Industrial In
stitute. Both declare the Sumter pupils
We're notably we'll prepared. DIR. Mitchell
says Mr.. Edmunds has effectively an
swered the question: How to hold boys
in high school,.
The superintendent himself mentions a
number of points that seem to him to
account for the enviable figures In the
first place. he cites the fact that in his
system boys and girls are educated sepa-
rately from the sixth grade up. making
it possible to apply education more di-
rectly 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 COM
mandant as another feature that proves
attractive.

THE CHANGE AT THE JOURNAL

From the Wilmington Sunday Star.
The Evening Journal has changed
hands. The young men who for the
past five years have built the paper
up from rather doubtful PROPOSE
tion to the status Of a profitable busi-
ness enterprise and to the importance
of an influential organ of public opin-
ion, have relinquished the respon-
sible control of The Journal but, ex-
ceupt in one instance. they will con-
tinue in active connection with the
paper. Mr.. Albert W. Cummins. the
former editor OF The Journal. has re-
tired and is succeeded by Mr. George
Carter. until recently connected with
the New York Press.
We wish to express our sincere re-
gret at Mr. Cummins' retirement

he may find all his ventures in life as
pleasant and as profitable as was the
one he has Just abandoned IL is for

Electricity is The Friend Of

Did you ever stop to think that electricity is the

your wife when she is ironing? Ever notice how
many steps she took walking back and forth from
the ironing board 10 the stove getting hot irons and
taking back cold ones? Ever watch her cool the
iron TO avoid scorchins something of fine texture2
You have wished many time that you could
save her that work. OF course you have. EsSy
enough to hire someone to do it if you had money.
But you are not man Of money. Any other way to

for electricity you would hardly notice the differ
in your electric bill.
But an iron is not the only convenience that
electricity will furnish at small cost There
scores of them. We can show you a considerable

May l have a little space in your

1t seems incredible to many people
that it is tolerated in civilized coun-
try, Delaware, one of the original

ness at that time. but today we are
proud of Gov. West and the humane
