HIGH SCHOOL AID
MEASURE PASSES
Lower Branch Gives Bill Unusual Ma
jority-Drawn by Supt. Swearin-
gen-Makes Tuition Free i'm
Rural Districts.

A bill relating to the high schools
# the State and providing for State
aid was passed in the house last night
by the overwhelming majority of 80
to 9. The bill regulates the disburse-
ment of the $4,000 appropriation for
the advancement of high schools and
does away with the charging of tut
tion in certain instances. The bill
has been indorsed by practically all
those connected with the public school
System of South Carolina.
Mr.. Mills, speaking for the bill, said
that its purpose was to establish in
each county school where boys and
girls can get college preparation with
free tuition. Another object of the
measure is to unity the high schools
and to enable such high schools to
derive the benefit of State aid with
less "red tape" He said that the
bill was approved by many of those
connected with the department of edu-
cation, the measure having been
drawn by Supt. Swearingen and w.
H. Hand.
Mr. Bradford objected to the bill
on the ground of the appropriation
feature, which originally proposed
$4,000, and also because he thought
1T would involve and derange the
present system of high schools. He
later withdrew his objections.
Mr. Johnstone said that the bill
made the following changes: The
abolition of a tuition charge in high
schools for boys and girls living out
side of the limit of a city, and the
establishment of training school for
teachers. Mr.. Johnstone also pointed
out that the bill does not carry an
appropriation, but would facilitate a
more equitable disposal of the funds
already appropriated.
Mr.. Crum, supporting the theory of
local self-government, opposed the
measure, claiming that "the sole pur-
pose of the bill is to allow every high
school to put its finger in the State
treasury" He said that the bill would
InJure the country schools. :
Mr.. Graydon said that the bill
would extend aid in addition to but
20 high schools in t State, and
maintained that the present law ~
unjust 10 those schools. He said that
the bill had been indorsed by the
State Teachers association, superin-
tendents of education, city superin-
tendents and many officials in the
State department of education.
Mr.. Mccullough said that the bill
would enable many country boys and
girls to get the benefits of high
school training.
The house accepted an amendment
by j. j. M. Graham to allow resi-
dents of an adjoining county to at
tend high school in a town in an
fusother county.
By large majority the house re-
fused to strike out the enacting words
and later sent the bill to a third read
ing on year and nay vote of 80 to .,
one of the largest majorities given
this year to a contested bill.

Football Rules Changes
Not of Vital Importance

II has long been stated In the rules
book. under the definition OF safety. that
u player who Is carrying the balls forced
back across his line. Is guilty Of making
n safety. but II was deemed wise 10
strike out this clause in the rule entirely,
as the rules have been made clear that
the referee should blow his whistle at the
forward point reachd by the player
carrying the ball.
There are two minor changes in tho
determination Of the legality of a forma-
ton. Last year II "A man was not one
yard back and still was not on the line
of scrimmage II produced an Illegal
formation, This was either wlnked at
or agreed upon with the officials before
tho game, for II was not intended that the
man occupying the usual position OF the
quarterback could not stand nearer than
one yard to the scrimmage line, although
the ball WAS passed to some one else. II
10 made clear in the 1916 rules tina, such
a formation IL not Illegal. hut tina the
quarterback Is not eligible to receive a
forward pass unless he Is one yard back.
The other change Is To make clear that a
guard or tackle. dropped back from the
line. must 70 back at least five yards In
order to be eligible to run or to act as an
interferer or to receive n fosward pass.
1t has been the habit Of the man de-
Tending the goal to feel free TO run into
the catcher OF a punt out. The rule has
now been made clear that they may not
do this except in IA bona fide attempt to
catch or bat the ball, This last pcrmis-
sion--to bat the balls an addition. and
players defending the goal on n punt out
may now bat the ball in any direction.
For some years the rule RESTRICTING
linemen In their conduct has read tina
striking with the locked hands "by line
men when they are breaking through ia
illegal.

CARDINAL MERCER.

The action of the German govern
ment. in forcibly taking hundreds Of
thousands of men from their homes in
Belgium and compelling them to
work In the mines and factories of the
central powers, has called for anoth-
or protest from Cardinal Mercier that
has been heard around the world. No
other man within the German lines,
except Cardinal MERCER, would be
permitted or would dare to SO vigor-
ously arraign the German government
before the bar of Christendom.
Largely Though the efforts Of Car
dinal Mercier no peace is now posi-
BILE which does not provide for the
restoration of Belgium. His protests
may be reasonable, but the truth
which they embody SENS to shield him
from prosecution by those in authors
ty. History does not describe another
.churchman like the Cardinal since the
year A. D. 452, when Italy was being
.oyerrun by the boards from north
ern Asia, At that time Pope Leo,
sur named The Great personally and
without sword or spear visited the
camp of the invaders and induced
them to spare the Roman capital.
