dation also carries clause suggest
ing the establishment of the higher
entrance requirements by September,
1921. Some objection to thus rails
ing the standard was voiced by college
presidents and high school men on
the ground that it would also tend to
widen the breach now existing be-
tween the small rural school and the
colleges to such an extent that gradu-
ates of the schools could not enter
the colleges under any circumstances,
being unable to meet the minimum
entrance requirements OF 13 high
school units. This. however, it was
pointed out might easily be settled by
the establishment of consolidated
high schools supplcmenting the work
of the usual rural schools which
would then cOnfine themselves solely
to the grammar school studies. A
movement toward this end is now be-
ing pushed by the state board of edu-
cation and the action Of the colleges
in raising their entrance require
ments is expected to give added i'm
petus 10 the movement with the result
that the high school by September,
1927, the date set for the change, may
be prepared TO meet the new condi-
tions.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Charges by

the navy was not prepared to enter
the war in 1917 are to be investigated
by the senate subcommittee already
intrusted with inquiry into the navy's
conduct OF .hc war which has been
criticised by the same officer. Acting
on q written suggestion from Admiral
Sims, Chairman Page OF the naval
committee asked Secretary Daniels to-
day TO submit full information as to
the condition of the navy just pre-
ceding the entrance Of the United
States into the world war.
After conference with Senator Hale,
chairman Of the subcommittee, Sena-
to-. Page wrote Mr. Daniels asking
that he transmit detailed state
ment showing the location Of Ameri-
can war ships two months and one
month prior to the declaration of war
and their location upon the actual day
this country entered the war. In adj
dton, Senator Page asked for the

Rccommend Raising the Standards

Columbia, Jan. 3l.-lThe first effort
toward raising the entrance standards
OF me south Carolina colleges 10 a
1913 unit basis was taken last night
when the joint convention of the high
school supcrintcndents and college
presidents Of the state adopted a
resolution recommending the adop-
ton Of this standard in all colleges
represented in the state association
of college presidents. This recon-
mendation Will be transmitted to the
several colleges for adoption
The adoption Of this recommends
ton which would require all students
asking unconditional entrance to
show record of Is high school units
and of Is units for conditional on
trance is expected to stimulate the
efforts toward the establishment of
four year high schools, since di-
poma from such an institution would
be almost imperative to the student
asking entrance without examination.
Such an entrance standard would also
result in the re-rntn~ ~ Ne colleges

Ground hog specialists disagree as
to whether or not the little varment
came out of his hole Monday and set
tied the weather conditions for the
next few months. Some say he came
out, found it cloudy and staid out.
Others say that he pcepcd out of the
hole in the ground, saw his shadow
from the shining sun and scampered
back to remain several months longer
while the weather moderated. Maybe
he was little undecided himself
about the affair and just decided TO
split the difference and let it rain.
The Legislature has saved the tax
commission again in spite of the at
tacks made on it by those who dislike
the chairman or who do not care 10
see the tax burden cQualized If the
tax commission had been abolished
this year. the progress Of the state
would have been set back many years
The great objection Of many people to
paying taXcsais due to the conviction
that property is unequally assessed.
This conviction has stood in the way
of an unbiased consideration Of the tax
question. The tax commission is
seeking to overcome this obstacle and
i'll doing so is laying the foundation
for more constructive legislation.
TANES.
1t is a strange aversion we have for
taxes. Most OF us feel it as an impo-
Sition and few Of us give ii its true
value. AS a matter of fact, it is won
derful the benefits we get from the in
vestment.
Without taxes we could not have the
wonderful educational advantages OF
today. Without taxes we would not
have the roads and streets we travel
on. Without taxes we would not have
the protection of life and property we
ENJOY. Without taxes we would not have
the JOY Of politics and elections. With
out taxes the country would go 10 the
dogs and civilization would turn back
TO unknown ages. Even the savagcs
paid tribute to their chiefs. But a
tax with us is no longer tribute TO
some loafor by divine right, but Joint
contribution TO the maintenance of
government and the extension of the
benefits OF life Then, why the COM
mon aversion TO II, except on the
ground Of unequal distribution.
Take i.anrens county now. It's IN
come from all sources, including ag-
Jlculturo and manufactures must be
At least $i5,000Oo0 Out Of this we
i've, lay up a little for rainy day
and pay taxes. The taxes, which
make the income possible, is 4 tri-
iic Of the total. The gasoline bin of
he county is probably equal to the
lax Dill, vet there is quite a difference
IN the attitude toward the two. Out Of
mis- $l5,000,000 the people bcgrudgc
as much as 100000 for lie roads
that make wealth and happiness pos
siblc. The samc is true as 10 nc
money for schools and ali Other oX-
penditnrcs for the necessities Of ad-
Vanccd living.
We are not advocates OF Dr0Nigacv
IN government expenditures. but We
do advocate faircr attitude toward
needed improvements If we are TO
make advanced strides we must pay

Mrs. Amanda Boswell, whose
birthday occurred on March IA, in
1913, celebrated her 102nd anniver-
sary last Sunday at the hospitable
home of strangers when they come to
our city, known in her honor as the
Boswell House. Years ago Mrs. Bos-
we'll presided as the mistress of the
popular hotel, which was the
situated on West Monticello street,
where her guests loved to be because
of the immaculate linen, the crystal
clearness of the glasses, and the gen.
eral excellent service. The reputa-
tion of the Boswell House Made at
that time has never been marred. In
recent years Miss Carrie Terry, a
descendant of the long family line
has taken Mrs. BoswelPs place and
presides as hostess, and besides the
onerous duties of her position the
care of her grandmother has devol-
we'd upon her.
Mrs. Boswell has been blind for a
number of years and Is also quite
deaf. Her general health is excel
lent and with her numerous callers
Sunday she enjoyed the refreshments
served as much as any, and remark
ed on the joy of birthdays. Sitting
surrounded by the beautiful offerings
in flowers gowned in white with soft
touches of lavender. the picture was
one to be kept in memory and cher.
ished as a rare incident Of the times
Relatives present were Miss Carrie
Terry, Mrs. w. D. Terry, daughter;
Mrs. Robert Terry, a granddaughter
and Mr.. Sims, Of Birmingham, 9
great nephew.
