ANDERSON AND NEW SCHOOL
LAW.

Supt. j. e. Swearipgen has pre-
pared an article for The Intelligencer
on the new compulsory attendance
law in this State, and makes some
comments upon conditions in Ander-
son County. Some of the figures he
uses will be especially interesting.
All but eleven school districts have
voted special levy tax Eight of the
high schools have State aid; thirty
two rural graded schools receive
State alt and there are sixteen dis
tricts receiving term extension aid.
Supt. Swearlngen states that there
are perhaps ninety per cent OF the
children OF school age in attendance
upon the schools OF tho county. and
he argues that the remaining ten
per cent should be put into the
schools. He says: Careless and dis
interested parents should no longer
be permitted to keep their boys and
girls out OF school, and thus denI to
them advantages OF d public school
education"
SuDt. swearingen then goes on to
show how the new compulsory school
attendance law may be introduced in
to this county. He says that all petit
tions should be circulated during the
month of April. In order that the
election required may be held in June
at the specified time. The term OF
compulsory attendance is fixed by law
at four months. which term is not at
all burdensome. In towns tho term
is the period OF compuIsion.
Mr.. Swearingen has the followins
to say: "For years Anderson County
has ranked among the, foremost lead
ers OF progressive education in South
carolina. I earnestly hope that this
record may be maintained in tbe mat
ter OF compulsory attendance"
