Ell JCATION

| Columbia. Sept. I5.-The need OF @
& ,nDulsory attendance law is recog-
niZed throuhout the state. according
10 }. r. Swcaringcn, state superinten-
dent of education. He has sent oui
Il letter to well known South Carroll
mans asking their opinion as to the
nature of the compulsory education
law to he considered at the next ses-
sion OF the Legislature. He says that
the only difference among friends OF
education is found in the terms OF the
statute.
ut is certain" said Mr.. Swearingen
that the legislature OF 1915 will be
asked to work out practical solu-
tiCn OF this question. hence It Il
highly important that the most prac-
| tical and serviceeable measure be en-
acted"
1t is pointed out by Mr.. Swearin-
gen that the law must deal with the
following points:
The age of pupils, Z to 10, or to
Maximum distance pupil walks, 3
miles or 2 1-2 miles.
Maximum number of pupils to be
instructed by one teacher, certainly
not more than so.
Free text books for pupils needing
them.
Building to be erected at county and
state expense in districts unable to
pay for adequate school houses.
Liberal state appropriations for
weak districts in order to provide a
minimum term, preferably Z months
This policy will necessitate a tax of
not less than one mill or omer than
than two mills.
Enforcement can be insured only
by a truant officer and by ADEQUATE
penalties. First, warming: Second
fine; Third. Imprisonment or a
chaingang sentence.
Needed exemptions for certain class
es of children.
Prohibition of the employment by
corporations of iiliterates under 2I
years Of age.
Length OF school session during
which attendance is compulsory
Since the Constitution og 1895 en-
powers district trustees 10 use distric,
FUNDS In their discretion, the school
term must probably be regulated by
school boards. In my opinion compul-
sorry attendance should be required
throughout the full session., 8. z, 6.
b, or three months. Such a pro-
vision will be flexible, will suit local
needs ani will help solve the difficult
Ties OF the race problem
Other provisions which cannot be
included in this outline but which will
suggest themselves to your mind.
I'm my opinion" says MFR. Swear
ingen, whatever school attendance
law is enacted must receive tho con.
sent In this territory affected before
1t can be successfully enforced. Spec-
!al school taxes are now voted in each
district by the resident electors who
return real and personal property
Tor taxation. Almost one-third of the
people of the state have declined to
vote local tax. although the schools
IN majority of these districts are in
need of money.

ORIGIN OF "LoWER HOUSE"
What Charles Dickens Wrote After At
tending Session OF the Law
Making Body.

Wnat Is now Statuary hall was occu-
pied by the house OF representatives
from 1907 to 1874, when the capitol
was In ruins. After the restoration of
the building two or three years later
the mousse convened again In this hall
and continued its sessions there until
tie autumn OF 1857, when the present
chamber in the south wing was taken
possession OF by the house OF repre-
sentatives- The drapery and furniture
chairs, desks and sofas-were re
moyed-irom the old hall and the wood
en- floor was relaid with marble. The
floor OF the old chamber used to be
four rect lower than 1t is at present
and was lower than the floor OF the
old senate. now occupied by the Unit
ed States Supreme court. One author
has said that from this fact originated
the habit OF calling the house of rep
resentatives the lower house" Ev.
erybody knows that the two branches
of congress are coordinate and that
neither is higher or lower than the
other. but the phrases upper house"
and Tower house" persist.
The house met in this chamber when
Charles Dickens made his first visit to
the United States. and part of his un-
popularity was due to his description
of the place and the habits OF the
members. Part OF what he wrote was
this:
1t is beautiful and spacious hall
of semicircular shape supported by
handsome pillars. One part of the gal.
lery is appropriated to ladies', where
they sit in front rows. and come in
and go out as at a play or concert
1t is an elegant chamber to look at,
but a singularly bad one for all pur-
poses of hearing. The house Is hand
someiy carpeted, but the state to
which these carpets are reduced by
the universal disregard of the spit
toons, with which every honorable
member is provided, and the extraor
binary improvement on the pattern
which has been squirted and dabbled
upon 1t in every direction, does not
admit of being described. 1t is strange
enough to see an honorable gentleman
leaning back in his tilted chair with
his legs On his desk before him, shap
ing a convenient plug with his pen
knife. and when he is quite ready &c

mouth as from a popgun and clap the
new one in its place. | was surprised

its origin here In Seattle.

the race of styles comes on. This

the new high-side shapes have made
for the popularity of the all-silk turban.
Two pretty examples of rather dash

them a long turban frame with a
moderately small crown is draped
with messaline satin in amethyst
color. The folds of drapery follow the
lines of the frame, sweeping upward

Pockets Are Promised.

Thanks to skirts becoming more

to have pockets in their dresses again.
But will the new pocket relieve them
of the necessity of carrying bag? Ap-
parently not, for since the pocket was
taken from them years ago the num-
Der of articles they usually carry about
with them has enormously increased.
Here, for instance, is what a woman
generally carries in her bag:
Two handkerchiefs, one smelling
bottle, one pencil, one purse for cop
pers, one purse for silver or gold. one
small mirror. one powder-puff encased

tension of the shape over which the
silk is draped. Little turbans of this
kind are close fitting and very becom-
ing. This particular style is suited to
youthful wearers, while the longer
shapes, with a less pronounced tilt in
the pose are liked for matrons.

conservative as well as the most dar-

most appropriate. Jet, with silk. adds
much to the brilliance of these hats.
and small. gay flowers or fruits give
them the requisite touch of color.
Cleverness in the management of
drapery is the characteristic virtue of
hats of silk for earliest wear. 1t is
not as easy as it looks, by any means,
to drape a shape without getting
clumsy effects. That it has been ac-
complished in such a variety of ways
speaks well for the ingenuity of de.
signers and trimmers.
