\ portion Of this total was for sre-
.ial building purposes and is, there
fore, above the sum which under
other circumstances wouoid have
been appropriated. The physical
condition of the buildings OF The
south Carolina Military academy, or
The Citadel for new Citadel plant,
en- new as It is usually called, made
i imperative for the legislature TO
provide for new buildings plans or
let the institution be ultimately
closed. Plans, site, have been COM
pleted, and the legislature il order
to take care Of al extraordinary sit
uaticn authorized an appropriation
Of 100000 payable ii three annual
installments. Two hundred thousand
dollars in the 1920 college appropria-
tons, therefore, are for the Citadel

colleges.
Ratio Of College and Common School
Cost.
From the foregoing fgures, it Is
apparent that the state, through the
legislature and through its other
methods of educational support, is
giving to the maintenance of the
common schools approximately four
times the sum Il is spending annual
ly on its colleges.
The Necessity for Mutual Support.
There has been in times past
rather distinct line Of cleavage be-
tween those who have striven to
make the common schools almost the
sole unit Of the states educational
system and those who have overcnl-
phasized the Importance Of The higher
institutions Of learning. Both schools
of thought are wrong. Fortunately
for the smoother establishment OF .
forward looking educational program
and for its enlargement as the
wealth of the state permits, these
shades Of difference Of opinion have
gradually merged into each other
and, with the exception OF one sided
men who here and there are elected
to the legislature, the great majority
takes reasonable and a liberal view
Of the relative needs and merits Of
The grammar schools and of the col
leges, and provides for beth accord
ingly.
If the state owes to its children the
obligation of giving to them the ad-
vantages of universal common school
no good citizen can
conceivably deny that it does-does
it not follow as necessary corollary
CT educational progress that the state
must also literally support It's higher
institutions of learning to round out
the privilege Of or ortunity that it
owes its boys and .l- >! The interests
ci the common schools and Of the
state colleges are closely interviewer,
and while the duty Of the legi:la-
ture is to provide for the public
schools first it is no less its duty to
see that its colleges are maintained
in first class condition. Any other
policy-anl effort to tear down one
at the expense of the other--is bound
to work to the injury CT both.
Just at =. time, when the peo-
pie of the state are blessed with The
enjoyment Of greater material pros
perity than they have ever before
experienced, we need men in the leg
islature who have breadth Of view,

HUMAN CURIOS
The Emperor who Never Saw His Il


Nearly all the important events in
the history of Maximilian I, emperor of
Germany, were connected in some way
with his matrimonial affairs Before he
came to the throne he married Mary Of
Burgundy, daughter OF Charles of
France, and Immediately declared war
against Louis XI, who demanded part of
the territory held in Marys name. Hard
ly had this dispute been settled, when
Mary died and Maximilian elected to
marry the rich Princess Anne of Brit
tany. This ceremony was performed by
proxy, because the emperor was absent
at the time, battling with the Hunga-
rlans. Before he could return Louis XI
had died and his son, Charles VIII, had
succeeded him.
Paying no attention to the marriage
between Macmillan and Anne, Charles
insisted upon marrying the Princess of
Brittany hlmself--a course Of action
which naturally enraged Macmillan and
led to an immediate declaration of war
with the assistance of Henry VII of
England. In spite OF the fact that the
German emperor had never seen his
bride. When the English king withdrew
from the alliance, MaXImilian was forced
to conclude treaty Of peace and after
ward married Blanca Sforza-a course
of action which involved him in wars
with Venice, Milan, Naples, the pope,
France and Spain. SO far as il is possible
to ascertain, he died without having
ever seen the princess TO whom he was
legally married.
