Wasteful Duplication.

The state and the religious denom-
nations alike are wasting their money
and dissipating their energies on more
colleges than they are able to support
at a nigh standard of efficiency equal
to that required of modern first class
college. South Carolina, small in area,
small in population and small in
wealth, is supporting more state edu-
cational institutions than some other
states with more than twice our re-
sources. Population and resources con
sidered, some of the religious denoml-
nations of the state are indulging in
even crater wastefulness.
"since the consolidation Of these
two colleges we have left 20. If by
further consolidation the number could
be reduced to not more tnan y, the
state, as a whole, and every religious
denomination in it would be benefited,
and both elementary and secondary
schools would receive an impetus i'm
possible under the present strain. 1t
