WARNING TO GERMANY.


Paris, June 9.-Ihe news of the
resignation of Secretary Bryan,
which reached Paris too late last
night for comment by the morning
papers, is given great prominence

The Midi refers to the retiring
secretary as "a pacificist at any
price" and says his resignation
should be regarded as a striking
warning to Germany.
president Wilson," this paper
continues, ''has developed a degree
of firmness of which he was not

CABINET BEHIND WILSON.

New York, June Am honor
ary degree of doctor of laws was
conferred on Franklin X. Lane, sec
retary of the interior, by New York
university today.
While at the exercises Secretary
Lane said, in reply to questions,
that rumors of further designations
from the presidents cabinet were
without foundation.
"Then that means that with the
exception of Mr.. Bryan the cabi-
net is solidly behind the president
in his present policy in the inter
national situation?" he was asked.
Absolutely" he replied.

DOZEN VIOLATIONS OF
THE CHILD LABOR LAW

Columbia. March 31.-Commis
sioner Watson last night issued the
following:
state factory inspectors, w. S.
Bonner and S. c. Grosschel, have
reported during the past week IL
this state. Each of these cases have
been prosecuted before local magis-
trates. Convictions were obtained in
eight cases, one bond was forfeited,
and one party jumped into another
state with his family, while two
cases have been continued until next
Tuesday. OF these twelve violations
one was by a mill superintendent,
while the other eleven violations
were by parents who swore falsely to
their children's ages in order that
they might secure work for them in
the cotton mills of the state.
THE factory inspectors are deter
mined to have the present laws en-
forced, and will trace to the fullest
extent of the law all ages of chill
dren found in the mills who are of
doubtful age. While greatly handi-
capped ovef the fact that there has
not been in the past a birth regis
tration law, they have been able TO
ascertain the correct ages of the
children through the system of child
labor blanks adopted by this depart
ment several years ago, giving the
age and place of birth of the child
family Bible records, insurance pa
per records, and often going back to
the family doctor who waited on the
mother at the time of the child's
birth and ascertaining the correct in
formation from him. Through these
mediums and others they are now in
position to weed out those under age
children and prosecute both the mill
superintendents and parents"

any form of club work in this state.
81 cannot close this report with
out attempting to express my appre-
citation Of the splendid cooperation
given our organization in all it's eff
forts by the state superintendent Of
education, the county superintend-
ents of education, the supervising
teachers and the county organizers
who have so unselfishly given their
time and efforts simply for the sake
OF the development of the schools.
Invaluable assistance has also been
given by local teachers, trustees, pa
irons and pupils in the districts Wis
tied. Without this cooperation the
efforts of the organization would
have amounted to naught, but with
it the things reported have been ac-
complished.
"In the words of another with
more than 10000 men and women
working in hearty cooperation for

GERMANY REFUSES
TO EXPORT POTASH
Efforts of United States to Get
Concessions Reported to
Have Failed.

Washington, April Efforts of
the United States government to OBJ
tain concessions from Germany that
would permit the importation OF
German potash fertilizer failed to-
day, it became known here, when
American officials were advised that
Germany would make no alteration
Of her embargo. Negotiations had
been in progress since the outbreak
Of the European war.
The German refusal came at q
time when Americal officials believed
they way had been cleared for a
restoration of at least part of the
potash traffic between Germany and
the United States.
The reason for the refusal has not
been disclosed.
Officials would not discuss the
matter. 1t was known, however, that
after conferences between American
officials and the foreign offices in
London an arrangement had been
tentatively reached which it was be-
lieved would allow American farm
ers and cotton growers to obtain
some part of the shipments usually
brought from Germany.
The potash industry in Germany
is government controlled monop-
oily under the Kalisyndikate, which
arbitrarily fiAes the prices.
When the war began three steam
ers laden with potash, which had
been paid for by American import
ferences the company agreed to al
low them to proceed or to furnish
similar amount of potash. provid-
ed an agent of the United States
should be designated as consignee to
prevent the fertilizer from falling in
to the allies hands, or employed to
raise crops to be consumed by the
! fighting forces of Germany's enc
mics. 1t was agreed that the de-
partment OF commerce should name
consignee from its staff, and on
that basis negotiations with Great
Britain to prevent interference with
shipment by the allied fleets were
said to have been reaching a favor
able stage.
1t was understood state depart
ment officials were hopeful that fur
ther adyices from Berlin would open
the way for a renewal of negotia-
tions.

DRINKING MUST GO,
SAYS KING GEORGE
His Royal Highness Declares
Drunkenness is PrOlOnging
the War.

London. March 31.-Drink is
blamed to large extent by King
George for England's inability to OBJ
tain necessary war materials for the
army in the field, in a letter sent by
the Kings private secretary, Lord
Stanfordham, to Chancellor of the
Exchequer Lloyd-George.
His Majesty "feels that nothing
but the most vigorous measures win
successfully cope with the grave sit
uation now existing in our armament
factories" the letter says, and "if
it is deemed advisable, will be pre-
pared to set an example by giving
up all alcoholic liquor himself and
by issuing orders against its con-
sumption in the royal households. 4"
The letter says:
''The King thanks you for so
promptly letting him have a report
of the proceedings at the meeting
yesterday Of the deputation Of en-
ployers. His Majesty has read 1t
with intense interest, but also with
the deepest concern. He feels that
nothing but the most vigorous meas
ures will successfully cope with the
grave situation now existing I'm our
armament factories.

1t is without doubt largely due Il
drink that we are unable 20 secure

sible to meet the requirements of th'
army in the field and that there hal

auence Of the necessary reinforce

"a continuance Of such . state o
things must inevitably result In tn
prolonsation Of the horrors and bur
dens OF this terrible war.
"I am instructed to add that. If
be deemed advisable. the King will
be prepared to set an example b

Hampton. A report of cleanup day
has been sent in from each school in
these four counties. Calhoun, Dill
lon, Dorchester, Lancaster, Marion
and Oconee also fall in distinguish
ed class. In each of these counties
reports have come in from all but a
very few schools. We feel that re-
suits warrant the observance of this
day again in 1915.
During l914-15 the continued
support of the state department of
education made it possible for the
School Improvement Association to
offer 1850 in prizes to be awarded
to the forty schools making the
greatest improvement in given
length of time. The executive COM
mittee of the association met on De-
cember Is and 19, 1914, to award
these prizes. Applications were re-
ceived from 355 schools from thirty
seven counties and showed total eX-
penditure for school betterment of
S306.746.69, of which amount the To-
cal school Improvement association
raised and spent $21, 1,161.S4. These
figures show that results obtained
! this year are finest ever recorded.
Visiting Country Schools.
"In addition to the work describ-
ed it has been the very pleasant du-
ty of your president to visit as many
schools in as many counties as pos
sible. Since the 1st of last April,
when / assumed the duties of field
agent of this organization, l have
spent from three days to two weeks
in each of the following counties,
where the county superintendent Of
education, the supervising teacher or
the county organizer and have wag-
ed "a campaign for better country
schools: Darlington, Kershaw, Lex
ington, Cherokee, Oconee, Abbeville,
Fairfield, Edgefeld, Chester, Green
Vile, Orangeburg, Berkeley, George
town, Lancaster, Marion, Laurens,
Newberry, Chesterfield, Calhoun,
Williamsburg, York, Dorchester and
Colleton. Visits of shorter duration
have been paid to Spartanburg, An
derson, Dillon and Union counties. In
| these twenty-seven counties 304
schools or school communities have
been visited. In almost all these
communities local school improve
ment associations have been organ
ized Many organizations have been
perfected through the efforts of the
county officials, teachers or local
workers in communities where it has

WHAT THE CHILDREN
DO IN RURAL SCHOOLS

Columbia Special to Charleston
News and Courier March 4.-The
good results which the South Caro-
lima Rural School Improvement AS
sociation are accomplishing are men,
toned briefly the annual report of
Miss Mary Eva Hite. the president.
Miss IIite is doing a splendid work
and the results of her activities in
which she has received the cordial
ents and pupils throughout the State,
are very gratifying. Her annual re-
port will be of Statewide interest.
According to the constitution of
the South Carolina School Improve
ment Association, it's president must
make report of the years work at
the regular annual meeting, which is
held in connection with the State
Teachers Association. The follow
ing is n part of the report submitted
by Miss Mary Eva Hite. the president
of this organization, last week at the
meeting in Florence.
1T now becomes my duty as presi-
dent of the South Carolina School I'm
proyement Association to render a re
port of the work done during the past
year. All present know that the Cen
cral Assembly of 1914 provided ST.
500 for the support of our work, and
that by means of the appropriation
: l, as president and field agent, have
nj f-1, ,aI Ii; IL
to the work of of this organization.
The 1915 session of the General AS
sembly again appropriated the ST.
500 for our work and we are still on
a working basis. The report 1 shall
submit is very largely the one sub
mitted to the state superintendent
of Education and embodied in the
annual report of the State depart
ment of education
Three very definite things have
been accomplished this year namely,
the placing of an educational eX-
hibit at the state fair, the observ-
ance of clean up day in the school,
and contest in which $3.50 was
awarded in prizes.
Educational EXhibits-Under the
auspices of the School Improvement
Association Newberry, Laurens, Oco-
nee, Kershaw and Dorchester coun-
ties placed at the State Fair of 1914
4 varied exhibit of school work-the
first in the history OF the Fair The
success of this undertaking has al
ready been attested by many educa-
tors.
Cleanup Day-It isn't necessary
TO discuss the purpose of cleanup
day in the schools of the state. We
are all agreed that it's fine thing. A
cleanup hay score card was placed in
the hands of each teacher to be used
as standard in judging the school
and its surroundings. l feel safe
in saying that two-thirds of the
white schools of the state observed
this day, but anyone who has eve,
attempted the collection of reports
knows just how difficult it is unless
there is some penalty attached.
'Since our work is purely volun-
tary, it has been impossible for me
to get all desired reports. However,
20 counties reported the observance
of cleanup day. Four counties mer-
it particular commendation on their
work along this line, namley, Oar
