As to Attendance Law.

of the constitution of 1895.
AS to Attendance Law.
The census figures also show the
population between seven and Ii
years of age: This group embraces
the boys and girls affected by the
compulsory attendance laws in most
of the state. South Cardinals local
option attendance law was enacted in
1917. This was followed by the state
wide attendance law of 1919.
In 1920 the state had 315,O6s boys
and girls IN this group. Of this num-
Der 274,429-S7.1 per cent-were
attending school. Here again, South
Carolina cutranks IL states. This per
centage stands in striking contrast
with the corresponding figures ten
years ago-67.6 per cent. The gain
during the, decade was, therefore,
1915 per cent, or 195 per thousand.
Here again South Carolina made the
best record of any of the 4s states.
Legislators, taxpayers, teachers
and patrons have every reason to be
gratifed over South Cardinals
achievement in outstripping every
other state in her gain of school at
tendance among children between
the ages of five and 20 years as well
as in her gain of school attendance
under the compulsory education law
between the ages of seven and 13. To
make this record in either respect
would be significant accomplish
ment, but to lead the nation in both
respects points emphatically to the
educational spirit of our folk. The
continuance of our educational efforts
during the decade from 1920 to 1880
ought to bring still better results.
Leads the South.
The state now leads the South in
both of these groups. However, it is
still behind the average for the ma
tion. For the country as whole the
percentage of children between the
ages of five and 20 years attending
school is 64.3 and the percentage. of
children between the, ages of seven
and 13 attending school is 90.6. For
the South Atlantic seaboard these
percentages are 60.2 and S5.6.
Stated in another way the figures
/. mean that now 62s persons between
the ages of FIVE and 20 years are at
tending school, whereas only 4S6 of
such persons were attending school
ten years ago.
Among children between seven
and 13 years of age the figures mean
that S71 boys and girls are attending
school against GIG in 1910. The re-
duction of adult illiteracy goes hand
in hand with this improvement in
school attendance.
The slogan of the next ten years
might we'll be "Let's put South Caro-
lima in the front rank in 1892

Large Per Cent Now in School.

j. E. Swearingen: state superln-
tendent of education, mas prepared a
statement in which he sets forth and
interprets some figures taken IN
South Carolina in 1920. He shows
that more than 81 per cent OF the
people of school age attend school,
being a net gain of IA per cent dur
ing the past ten years, which is the
best record for any Of the 4S states.
Other figures of interest are drawn
from the census by Mr.. Swearlngen.
His statement follows:

CARP SATISFIED;
TOFICHT OTHERS

MANHASSET, N. Y, July 4.-(By
Associated Press Georges Carpen-
tier will not retire from the ring as
result of his defeat by Dempsey.
He will fight any man in the world
except the champion, who, he admits,
is his superior.
This statement was made Sunday
by Francois Descamps, the French
mans manager.
''I'll admit, too" added Descamps,
"that Jack Dempsey is the greatest
heavyweight who ever lived. But I'll
claim that my Georges comes next.
Dempsey was too heavy and too
powerful for Georges. He will not
seek a return match. What we want
now is a challenge for the worlds
light heavyweight title, which Geor-
ges holds by virtue of his victory over
Levinsky"
The broken bone in Georges right
hand was set Sunday and he said it
felt much better, although it was still
swollen and inflamed.
Il fees glorious even ii defeat he
smiled, TO think that | did what

had Dempsey groggy in the second
round, and he did this later in spite
of the fact that he was weakened by
the punishment he received in the
clinches in the first round.
| predicted Dempsey would win in
the fourth round with a right hand
blow to the heart and left hook
to the jaw and this actually was
the beginning of the end. 1t put
Carpenter down for the count of
nine and Dempsey followed up with
a shift of the same blows. A left to
the body and a crossing with right
to the jaw, that was the knockout.
Dempsey hasn't slowed up since
he met Willard. / think he should
fight every three months to keep that
championship, and his opponent
should be Tommy Gibbons.

JACK READY TO

NEW YORK, July 4.-(By Associ-

his manager, announced last night.
The champion is going west for a
good vacation in few days and after
that, Kearnss said, he will be ready
to fight anyone who presents HIM
self with the proper credentials.
Dempsey, happy at his victory over
Carpenter, and showing no marks of
the encounter, passed as quiet day
as his friends and fight fans woul,

stay out of the clinches.
Boxing was the method by which
Georges could have won. He was ad-
vertised as better and more skillful
boxer than Dempsey, and he proved
this superiority beyond shadow of
doubt. But Georges was fool not
to stand ur and box all the time.
Whenever he boxed, he easily beat
Dempsey. Carpenter was a fool not
to stay out of clinches. Dempsey had
more weight, more strength and more
stamina. This overcame Carpenters
greater speed and boxing skill. Car
pentier lost because he let himself
get into clinches where Dempsey,
with his twenty pounds of excess
weight, could lay that weight against
him and wear him out and weaken
him with short jabs.
Brute strength beat boxing skill. In
spite Of Carpenters handicap of
choosing the wrong method of fight
ing, he fought an even fight up to the
fatal fourth round. 1t was plain to
me that Dempsey was beating him in
the first round in the clinches by a
