VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.
South Carolina Can Receive SEQ, 900
Under Smitll.Hughes Act.

J. e. Swearingen, State Superin-
tendent of Education, referring to the
recent meeting OF the State Board Of
Education, has given out the follow
ing:
THE most important question was
the discussion of the Smith-H Hughes
act of Congress providing Federal aid
for vocational education In tho
States. Under this act South Caro-
lima will receive about $4,000 this
year for industrial education and for
the training Of industrial teachers.
This work has already been started
at Clemson and will soon be under
taken at Winthrop and at the State
Colored College. The need for this
training Is imperative and It's possi-
bilities seem almost unlimited.
Trustees and presidents Of the State
colleges are cooperating actively
with the State board In introducing
and organizing the work.
cone provision Of the Smith
Hughes act grants Federal aid for
the teaching Of agriculture in schools
OF less than college grade. Under
the Smoak-Rector act OF 1917, some
work Of this kind has already been
undertaken in several groups Of con-
solidated rural schools. The farm.
ers are so deeply interested and
have responded so heartily that the
future Of this vocational instruction
seems assured.
Another provision Of the Smith
hughes act seeks to encourage tho
teaching Of home economies This Is
neglected field in South Carolina
which tho State Board Of Education
is earnestly dosirous Of developing.
Experimental work in the trades and
industries, In part-time schools, even
Ing classes. and continuation schools
Will also be undertaken as soon as
practicable.
ITO cover all these potential ac-
ttvities In the training Of vocational
teachers, III public school agricul-
ture, in home economies, in tho
trades and industries and in short
course community classes, the state
Board Of Education Will be compelled
to ask the Legislature for direct ap-
preparation OF something like $40,-
900. The Smith-Hughes act requires
that every dollar OF Federal money
must he matched by dollar Of State
or local money. 1t was the unani-
nous opinion Of the board that this
INVITING inviting .opportunity should be pres 4
sented to the lawmakers with un-
qualified endorsements"

cember 30th, 1917, received Friday
and was so glad to hear from all
again. 1 was beginning to think the
mail service had gone on strike, as
that was my first letter from home
since l left Fort Screven, Ga, al
though, since came through Kelley

Must impossible to keep their mail

l would be very glad to get, but if

In all the scenery I could. Thirteen
of us boys left Fort Screven Decem-
Der 9th for Kelley Field, San Anto-
Mo, Texas, and were routed via
Montgomery, Ala. New Orleans, La,
and along the Gulf coast to Houston
and San Antonio. Most Of our ride
on that route was at night and +
didn't get to see much.
After leaving Montgomery we saw
very little good farming until we got
way out near Houston, and there the
cotton crop Is not good. In my
whole travel never saw any cotton
that would beat that grown In Oco-
nee and Anderson counties, South
Carolina.
We arrived in Kelley Field on De-
cember 10th and I was separated
from the other boys. I don't know
