ject assigned by the teachers of the
school. The subject assigned for this
year was "The Need of a Compulsory
Attendance School Law in South Car
olina." Seven pupils Of the high
school entered the contest. The es-
says were passed upon by Professors
W. K. Tate and w H. Hand. In
reaching the decision they concluded
that two of the essays were of equal
merit, and, therefore, could not decide
between the two, and referred them
back to the teachers to decide. 1t was
concluded that it would be better to
give two medals, and, therefore, Mr..

medal to each. 1t was found that the
