SOUTH CAROLINA FEEDER
ALTON OF WOMEN'S CLUBS

To South Carolina Club Women:
The executive board OF the South

that the 21st annual convention of

May This convention will be pri-

OF important business.

shown great interest in the activi-
ties OF the federation and has upon
various occasions extended many
courtesies ~ the club women OF the
state In an address OF welcome
extended 10 the women in attend
ance upon one OF the clubwomen's
courses at Winthrop summer school,
DR. Johnson said that Winthrops
mission is not only to serve the girls
or South Carolina but likewise TO
serve the women OF the state. II
therefore seems especially fitting
that the meeting place Of our COM
ing annual convention should be at
our great state normal college Or.
Johnson has offered the use OF the
large auditorium and other smaller
convention halls for the various con-
ferences OF the convention. Ar
rangements are being made for ac-
\ commodating all the club women
\ in one dormitory A most reason
able rate has been made for board
room and three meals per day.
There will. therefore. be no inciden-

Shall Schools Grow Worse?
(Sumter Item


NO person who is fit to take the
time and money and opportunity Of
the children of this great democratic
republic for the purpose OF fitting
them for life. for making a living
and for virtuous citizenship should
be asked to work for less than ST.
600 a year in any community or in
any state"
This is the conclusion of United
States Commissioner of Education
ClaNton. who wants TO see large
increase in salaries OF school teach
ers. Many OF the best teachers are
leaving the schools for better paid
positions. In Washington. they get
more as elevator operators. The
places left vacant ''are taken by men
and women of less, native ability.
less education and culture. and less
training and experience. Many OF
the places are not filed at all AS
an inevitable result the character Of
the schools is being lowered just at
a time when it ought to be raised to
much higher Standard
More than Is 600 schools through
out the country have had to shut
down altogether. Schools in big
cities suffer less. for their ranks are
recruited from country schools This
leaves the country schools vacant, or
taught by incompetent persons.
The remedy would seem to be a
sharp-to many people an appalling
raise in the salaries of teachers
everywhere, together with an
equally sharp raising of the require
ments for the job. First-class peo-
pie will not stay on third-class sala-
ries all their lives 1t is because the
salaries have been third-class for so
long that there are so many small
persons in places OF authority in any
big school system.

Should the governor call an extra

the question: Would il avail any

attended the regular session. and
they having voted upon the good

vote for the proposed highway leg

little time for the sounding OF public
sentiment, in the hardy proba BILE
event that the legislature did not
know what is the sentiment while
