MEDICAL EXAMINATION CT
PUPILS.
recon mend the enactment of a
law providing for the medical inspec-
tion of pupils in the public schools,
under the supervision of the Sta;e
board of health in cooperation with
the STATE board OF education. and,
with due provision for the protec-

PENAL AND CHARITABLE IN
STITUTlONS.
1t seems to me that il would be
wise to consider our penal and chari

jails, chaingangs and aims houses Of
the state counties and cities. We
should develop our humanitarian un-
dertakings. In this work we have the
examples OF other States. notably
Virginia, illustrating what may be
accomplished by having a state board
of charities. / recommend, there

ability of stabli3hing, in this state,
such board. for, though the propo-

Under these conditions. We must, or

on the other. We should be slow to
stop public work that is desirable,
which would further increase the
number of the unem, ,,loyed. The time
is proptious for the state and coun-
ties to undertake carefully conducted
work on the public highways. This
would accomplish greatly needed

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, permit personal

sources ard in the character of her
citizenship. | appeal to all citizens

enlightened and educated citizen
ship. am confident that l voice the
desire of large majority of South
Carolinians when / urge our people
now to turn their backs on past fac
tional bitterness and dissensiOn to
look forward. turning their faces
resolutely to the future. The vision
OF people reunited must be kept
before us: a people determined to
take advantage OF the resources
which God has put within our grasp.
