Summer School Now in Session.

The fourth annual session of the
State Summer School at the sc Uni
versity for High School Teachers be-
gan June 20 and will continue until
July 19 inclusive.
The State Summer School was es-
tablished to meet the needs of a sim
gle specific class of teachers. The
aim is to give training in the subject
matter that high school teachers have
to teach, to add to the teachers schol-
arship, to make some study of the
high school pupil and learn the art
of effective presentation of each sub
ject. Some high school teachers fail
because they are not masters of their
subjects; others fail because they do
not understand the underlying princi-
piles of teaching; still others fail be-
cause they know little or nothing of
boys and girls of the high school age.
At the summer school teacher
acquires increased scholarship and
new inspiration. The summer school
at the University of South Carolina
has proved exceedingly profitable to
high school teachers. Every Tuesday
and Friday afternoon during the ses-
siun conferences of teachers and in
structors are manifold, and are great
ly appreciated.

DESTROYER PROGRAM
APPROVED BY WILSON
New Submarine Fighters Will
Be Faster and More Sea-
worthy Than Old Style.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.--Presl-
dent Wilson approved today esti-
mates of the navy department for
the expenditure of an additional
100000 for new destroyers to
combat German submarines. The
project will be laid before congress
Immediately by Secretary Daniels.
Provision will be sought to cxpend
S22- 100000 of the total appropria-
ton on construction of purchase and
expansion of engine and shipbuilding
plants to provide the facilities needed.
The present destroyer building ca
pacity of the country is fully engaged
on contracts already given. To reach
new labor centers where the skilled
men can be found to do work quickly.
it is indicated that the new engine
building plants proposed will be
placed in the interior of the country.
The department has never made
pCUlic the number of dcstroyerS now
building or the additional numbers
contemplated in the new project. 1t is
known, however. that when vessels
now under construction have all been
completed, which will be during 1918.
the navy will have a destroyer force
comparable to that of any power,
while the new project will give the
United States the strongest destroyer
flotilla in the world.
Navy designers have already worked
out a standard type Of destroyer on
which the quantity production ma
chinery proposed will be employed,
The new boats probably will not differ
materially from the latest 35-knot oil
burning type ordered for the navy. The
vessels will be better than any now
in commission. They will be faster
and more seaworthy and rive more
room for their crews. The new
standardized designs, 1t is understood,
include recommendations as TO equip
ment made by Vice Admiral Sims and
his officers based on the actual ex-
perience Of American destroyers in
the North sea

ARGENTINA LEANS

Kaiser Made Greater Promises
to America and Then Broke
Them, Says Lansing.
LATIN NATION FEELS GOOD

United States Banks.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 90 - Any
hope felt here that Argentina would
SUPPORT the allied nations in their
war against Germany virtually has
been abandoned as result OF the
German governments success in sat
Arcs foreign office In connection
with the sinking OF the little Argen-
tine sailing craft Toro.
Germany's agreement to pay in

not to destroy other ships under the
Argentine flag caused Secretary Lam
sing to point out today that the i'm
perial government had made Il
greater promise to the United States
and then had broken her word.
Considered Hollow Victory.
Examination of the facts Indicate,
however, that Germany will not be
embarrassed by keeping this latest
promise because Argentina has no
mercantile marine engaged in trans
Atlantic trade. The whole contro-
versy has impressed some officials
here as hollow and its result is
viewed as point scored for Ger
many. Its only effect will be 10 in
sure the neutrality OF The South
American country, whose importance
is exceeded by none unless 1t be
Brazil.
The outcome has created no great
surprise here. Since l;raZit and few
other South American nations aligned
themselves against the methods of
Germany. agents of the kaiser are
known to have been unceasing in
their activities in Buenos Aires. Cap
tain Won Papen, former military at
tachc here, whose withdrawal was
requested because of his unneutral
acts, now is at the Argentine capitol.
where he is said to be directing his
country's propaganda.
Argentina Gets German Money.
1t became known today that large
part of the German money that was
in American hanks at the beginning
of Americas war with Germany has
been transferred to Argentine banks.
Some OF this money has been in
vested there, but most OF it is merely
held on account.
Argentina's POSITION may prove an
embarrassment to Brazil her neigh
Dor on the north. Brazil is at war
altho no declaration of the fact has
been made.
Nuch interest is felt here in the

gentina will regard their govern
ments attitude. There has developed

GERMANY'S DEMANDS ARE

Dutch Refuse To Let Kaiser Use Ships
Five Years in Return for
Steel

WASHINGTON Aug. 29.-The
Netherlands government has declined
TO accede to the demand Of Germany
that Dutch ships repaired with Ger
man steel be devoted TO German use
for a period of five years after the
war. In response to Hollands request
for steel, Germany made this conn,-
ton and also stipulated that il Ter
man steel was used for the construc-
tion of new vessels, Holland must give
her an option on the ships after tne
war in case any tonnage was nos
needed for Dutch trade. This last
point is still the subject of negotia-
tions, but as Holland is sure to re-
quire all her ships for colonial trade
IL is not likely to he granted. 1t was
pointed out tnat Germany would be
n gamer in a degree because her
option would deprive England and
France from Il possible charter OF
this tonnage.
