FREE SCHOLARSHIPS
GO BEGGING HERE
COLLEGE ENTRANCE STANDARD
TOO HIGH FOR WILLIAMS
BURG RURAL SCHOOLS

The following correspondence be-
tween State Superintendent of Edu-
cation Swearingen and County Super
intendent ]. G. Mccullough will be of
interest to every reader of The Rec
ord who is interested in this question
which is so vital in Williamsburg.
The County Record refrains at this
time from any further comment on
the subject beyond an endorsement OF
Mr.. McCullough's opinion. The cor
respondence follows:
Columbia, S. c., Oct. 81, 1920.
Supt. ]. G. Mccullough,
Kingstree, S. c.
Dear Sir:-Within recent years there
has been much discussion of the
States system of free scholarships
in institutions of higher learning.
The University of South Carolina is
allowed forty-six scholarships worth
s10O a year, plus tuition and college
fees. The Citadel is allowed sixty
eight scholarships worth $500 year.
Winthrop is allowed one hundred
twenty-four scholarships worth 500
year and free tuition. Clemson is
allowed one hundred seventy four
year scholarships and fifty-three one
year agricultural scholarships. Each
Clemson scholarship is worth 500
a year, plus tuition and college fees.
The winner and holder of scholar
ship is a young person of merit and
distinction. The public generally con-
siders a scholarship award to be a
fine index to school efficiency. Today
scholarships go begging for lack OF
qualified applicants.
Enclosed herewith l an sending
you the record for the year 192O-21,
the scholarship places and holders for
your county. Please look over the
data and write me your opinion Of
the situation.
A copy of this letter goes to your
superintendent of your courthouse
public school and to the editor OF
your county paper in the hope that
these two agencies may also be in
duced to comment on the situation.
Yours respectfully,
]. E. SWEARINGEN,
State Superintendent Of Ed.

schools and transportation should be
provided for all school pupils to these
schools.
This year Kingstrce is being flood
ed with high school pupils from many
sections, most of them having to
board in town. Cedar Swamp, nine
mnes away, ordinarily four teacacr
school, will have only three teachers
and 8 grades, most of the high school
boarding and attending Kingstree
school. l would like to see provls-
ion like that called for in the resolu-
ton. that when 4 mill tax is voted
for transportation of high school pu-
pills, the State would supplement the
fund thereby raised for transportation
of these pupils to some State high
school in reasonable distance.
think 8 or 9 miles would be practical.
I would like to know what you
think of this suggestion.
Yours very truly,
&c. MCCULLOUGH,

S. E. OPPOSED TO
GOVT. OPERATION
Editors of State Report Their Com
munities Against Sociaiistic
Experiment.

The South Carolina public is over
wheimingly opposed to radical govern
ment experiments, according to the
results OF QUESTIONABLE on the sub
ject Of government operation Of in
dustries sent out to the editors OF this
and the other States of the country
Of the 90 editors who replied, 2S Oh
81 per cent. said that the citizens OF
their communities were opposed to
the government going into business
in competition with its citizens.
The QUESTIONABLE was sent out by
the Press Service Company OF New
York City. While the inquiry was
based on the general principle OF gov
ernment operation, the so-cailed Mus
Gle Shoals bill now before congress
was used as a concrete example. I'm
der this bill a government-owned cor
poration would be given power, among
other things, to produce at Muscle
Shoals various fertilizer products and
sell them in competition with private
manufacturers and dealers.
As to the wisdom of the govern
ment adopting this policy toward the
fertilizer industry the editors were
asked for their personal opinion. Of
the 70 editors who gave an opinion
on this point, "a or SO per cent. were
unqualifedly opposed to the scheme.
The political affiliations of the
South Carolina papers whose editors
answered the QUESTIONABLE were: Re-
publican, 0; Democratic, 26; Indepen-
dent, l and miscellaneous, 2.
A summary of the results Of the
QUESTIONABLE from the country at
large shows that this opposition to
government operation is general.
Out of 5154 editors replying, 1896 or
sc Per cent. voted their communities
against the proposition. This is an
increase of per cent in the opposi-
ton as compared with the results OF
a similar questionnaire sent out by
the, Press Service Company a year
ago in Connection with the question OF
turning the railroads back to their
owners.
The papers heard from in the pres
ent poll are 1857 Republican; 1856
Democratic; 145s Independent and
462 miscellaneous. Not Only did po-
litical bias play no part in the replies
but sectional differences seem to have
no appreciable effect on the result.
The combined circulation of the pa
pers whose editors replied is 11,42s,-
BIT, which means a constituency of
at least 100000 readers.

STUDEBAKER CLIMBS STEEP
GRADE IN HIGH GEAR
First Car to Go Up Famous Studley
Hill, Near Malone, N. Y.-Repeats
Performance Five Times.

Society folks and others at such
famous New York summer resorts as
Saranac Lake, Massena, Lake Placid
and Plattsburg have new topic OF
conversation this year. They art
talking about the first motor car to
ascend Studley hill in high gear, a
feat which hundreds of them witness
ed recently.
The car that finally turned the trio:
was a Studebaker Bix-Six, driven I.
J. Frank Sharp, of Ogdensburg, y.
Y. and just to show that the per-
formance was due to the power Of the
car rather than to any element Of luck
Mr.. Sharp repeated the climb five
times in succession.
Studley Hill is known to thousands
Of tourists as the steepest grade in
the Adirondacks. Located near Ma
lone, N. Y, it is 1900 feet high and
more than a mile long. Motorists
have been awed by its steepness and
alarmed by its sharp turns. Some
of the more skillful drivers have at
times tried to make the ascend in
high gear, but have been forced to
shift before they got one-third OF the
way up.
When Mr.. Sharp made it known that
he intended to essay the climb with
his Studebaker in high gear, specu-
lation was rife among those at the
various exclusive summer resorts a.
to the outcome of the test. and few
believed it could be accomplished.
Hundreds of them turned out for the
occasion, and much to their surprise,
the Studebaker, with Mr.. Sharp at
the wheel and another passenger at
his side, wormed its way up the long
steep, twisting road. The car began
its journey at so miles an hour, reach
the crest at 35 miles an hour, and
never once did its speed drop belo"
Is miles an hour during the climb.

Kingstree, S. c., Oct. rs, 1920
Mr.. ]. E. Swearingen,
Columbia, S. c.
Dear sir:-Your letter relating to
scholarships and the way they go beg
ging touches matter that has occu-
pied my mind for some time.
l should say the trouble is: The
colleges have gone ahead of the pub
lie schools, on which they should de-
pend. It is easy enough to raise the
standard in the few higher institu-
tions, but another mater entirely when
it comes to building up system OF
high schools in an equally short time
to meet the requirements Of the rails
ed standards. In Williamsburg there
are only two schools that fit pupils for
entrance to college, and these schools
are in reach of only II per cent. OF
the pupils of the county. A boarding
pupil at one of these schools costs
practically as much as if at college.
do not think it is matter OF IN
difference on the part of our youth
but rather a recognition on their part
that they cannot pass the entrance ex.
aminations. That explains a lack OF
applicants for some of these scholar
ships. l note there is one scholar
ship "at large" for our county at
Winthrop. There was certainly no
dearth of bright-looking girls who
took the examination i nJuly.
This brings me to resolution
had offered and discussed at our re-
cent trustees meeting (see copy IN
closed). 1 have come to the conclu-
sion in recent years that the ordinary
rural graded school cannot do satls-
factory high school work and We must
stop expecting it. Williamsburg

Law IN EFFECT
! MONDAY, NOV. |
IOMPULSORY SCHOOL ATTEND
ANCE ACT WILL BE ENFORC-
ED IN WILLIAMSBURG

| wish to call attention to the fact
hat the period for the compulsory
law in this county begins on Monday,
November !.
For the better enforcement of this
law, a number of blanks have been
prepared and are now being distri-
buted among the schools of the coun-
ty These blanks include: 1. Pupils
exense for absence, which is to be
\snded the child by the teacher and
hight back by the pupil bearing
Mputten excuse submitted by parent
or guardian. Each excuse may be
sccepted or rejected by the teacher,
principal or superintendent in charge.
All excuses should be kept on file
fo inspection by the attendance Of
ficer.
2. The monthly report of all abb
sences, which is to be filed out by
the teacher and submitted to attend
ance officer at the close of each school
month, The data inserted on this
blank should correspond with the rec
ord in the teachers school register.
The correct and accurate keeping OF
the register in each classroom will
not only simplify the teachers work,
but greatly facilitate the service OF
the attendance officer.
8. The Exemption blank, which is
for children who are permanently eS-
cused from. attending school. Reas-
ons for exemption may be found in
a copy Of the school law.
4. The Delinquency blank, to be
used for boys and girls morally iueli-
gible for attendance on public schools.
Reformatories for boys and industrial
schools for girls have been establish
ed for the celinquents.
5. The Transfer card, to be used
w the teacher, principal or superin-
8endent, in dismissing boys and girls
from one school to another. Many
teachers have heretofore shown con-
siderable carelessness in the enroll
ment Of children. Both the monthly
enrolment list in the teachers regis
ter and the annual enrolment list IN
the same register, should be most
carefully filled out by every teacher.
The Transfer card is meant for any
boy or girl who has attended school
at least ten days during the school
term whose name has been placed
upon the enrolment list, and who may
ask to be dismissed in order to enter
any other public school.
Our schools last year had the heav-
lest enrolment and the fullest at
tendance in the history of the county,
It is hoped that teacher will cooper
ate fully snd heartily with the at
tendance officer in placing and keep
ing in the classroom every child in
compulsory age.
: It may be of interest to the puDhe
to know that as a result of the splen-
ibid cooperation of teachers and pa
irons with the attendance officer last
wear, it was found necessary to pros
ecute only one case for non-compll'
ance with the law.
Yours respectfully,

ORGANIZED SEARCH !. :.
FOR MISSING LINK
EXPEDITION GOING TO THE CRA-
DIE OF THE HUMAN RACE
WILL LAST FIVE YEARS

An Associated Press dispatch says:
Organized search for the well-adver-
tised but undiscovered missing link"
the remains of the near-man that
scientists since the day of Darwin
have longed I'd EXAMINES to be
carried on in Asia for five-year pc
riod, beginning next February.
An expedition financed by a $780,
600 fund, will penetrate remote re-
gions, and even if it fails to, uncover
remnants of mans rude prehistoric
forebear, it is planned to bring back
to New York "the greatest natural
history collection the world has ever
SEEN"
The American Museum of Natural
History, which is sponsoring the ex-
plorations, announced tonight its as
sociates are the American Asiatic So
ciety and the Asia Magazine. These
three will finance the expedition, with
the help of private contributions by
Mrs. Willard Straight, ]. P. Morgan,
George F. Baker, Childs Frick, W.
A. Hartman and Mr.. and Mrs.
Char L. Benheim.
Cowboys and Huntsmen
Huntsmen and cowboys, as well as
erudite professors and scientists, will
be included in the big party, for it
is planned to trail some of the widest
wild animals in the world in the Cobb
desert and bring them back to New
York alive.
1Antilopes that can run go miles an
hour" wild horses with less speed
but more control in their kicking ap-
paratus, and wild camels, wild asses
and long-haired tigers "can be run
down in motor cars, lassoed by Mon
gol cowboys, and some of the speci-
mems brought back alive to the New
York Geological Park" said the state
ment announcing the expedition.
"On the Tiberian steppes are cnor-
nous yak, snow leopards, giant pan
das and beautiful golden monkeys
with blue, upturned noses" the state
ment continued. ain China is the ia
kin, a creature with a veritable gold
en- fleece a strange ox-like animal
that roams the highest mountain val
leys and actually represents an IN
termediate stage between the ante
lope and the goat"
The Chief Aim
It is the hope of finding the bones
of a prehistoric ancestor Of man,
however, that is held highest by Roy
Chapman Andrews, associate curator
of animals in the American Museum
of National History, who will be in
charge of the expedition, and his as
sociates. The party will have its
headquarters in Pekin-
In 1891 a Dutch army surgeon,
while excavating for fossils in Cen
tral Java, discovered part of skull,
two molar teeth and a thigh bone,
and thereby "unearthed one OF the
most perplexing conundrums in the
study of human ancestry" said the
statement.
"Were the remains those Of an
extremely early type of pre-human
man-like animal? If so, this ape
man must have lived approximately
100000 years ago.
"With the exception of the Java
specimen, all fossil human fragments
have been discovered in Continental
Europe or England. Nevertheless, the
leading scientists of the day believe
that Asia was the early home OF the
human race and that whatever light
may be thrown upon the origin OF
man will come from the great Cen
trail Asian plateau"
