URGENT NEED FOR
APPROPRIATIONS FOR SCHOOLS

Columbia, Jan. 19.-The midwin-
ter meeting Of the county superln-
tendents of education of the State,
held in Columbia this week, took ac-
ton looking towards important legls-
lation in this general assembly.
They advanced the general finan-
cial condition in regard to education"
said superintendent of Education
Swearingen this morning, 'and ex-
pressed the hope that the legislature
continue the appropriations and pro-
vide the money called for in the inter
est Of the grading Of the schools"
The association expressed itself as
being especially anxious for the leg
islature to appropriate the sums rec,
. commended by the State superintend-
ent, and approved the budget Of s453,-
600 in full. "The biggest item con-
tained in the budget said State Su-
perintendent Swearingen today, 'is
S175,000 for consolidated and graded
schools in country districts. The
most doubtful item is $4,000 for
buildings, although practically every
county superintendent has filed appli-
cations for State building aid. In ev-
cry district where a new house has
been erected during the year the local
trustees are relying upon the State
appropriation.
"For the year 1915-1e, $4,000 was
appropriated and was expended on 146
buildings. One hundred and eighty
new buildings were erected; hence
40 communities were without State
building aid
"The county superintendents also
endorsed county board fund, to be
expended by the county superintend-
ents and their associates, in their dis
cretion, among weak districts, as well
as for neglected Improvements in
strong districts.
''The bill for vocational training
with federal aid was enthusiastic
cally endorsed, and the superintend-
ents appointed a committee to con-
fer with the legislature on the ques-
ton Of industrial education in the
public schools.
Under the new law passed by con-
gress," continued Mr.. Swearingen,
South Carolina will receive $4,000
for vocational training, provided the
legislature authorizes some State
board to cooperate, and appropriates
as much as $4,000 for the work. In
States accepting the federal grant, the
amount of federal aid increases from
year to year. South Carolina would
ultimately receive s111,000 annually,
j. a similar amount should be final
ly appropriated by the legislature up
ron an approval of this policy"
The county superintendents reiter-
ated their recommendation calling for
a State board of examiners for teach
ers, and by their action they express
ed belief that oposition to the crea-
tion of such a board "is causing an
undesirable waste of much school
money" as Mr.. Swearingen expressed
it this morning.
Thirtv-fve counties were represent
ed at the meeting. Among those in
attendance were six county superin-
tendents recently elected
