Cconee county has proven it's in
terest in the school by it's local
pledges. When South Carolina has
demonstrated her carnestness by
completing this endowment, we ex-
pect to go outside for additional aid.
AS national society the ID. A. r.
have pledged themselves to the sup
port Of industrial education in noun
tain schools. Many State OrganiZa-
tons send hundreds OF dollars each
year to Georgia, North Carolina, Ken
lucky and Tennessee. They will be
glad to share with South Carolina
when we have proven ourselves.
Can't you be one OF these 100 found
ers? Twenty-Five dollars a year is
not pr0hibitive amount and the in
terest promised in better citizenship
is indeed high. If you cannot do
this much You should at lease have
some part in this splendid work.
Send check or pledge either to Mrs.
E. W. Duvall, at Cheraw, or to me at
Clemson College. You want your
name on the final roll to be published
on New Years.
The Christmas season is approach
