VESSELS BUILT IN SECTIONS
Ships Intended for Operation on Lakes
Far Inland Are Now Trans-
ported Piecemeai.

A well-known shipbuilding firm In
the north Of England is at the present
time building a vessel which will be
carried to Africa in portions. 1t will
be re-assembled at it's ultimate desti-
nation.
Every year ships are built in Great
Britain for use on lakes and inland
waters in all parts of the world. Usu-
ally these are built and bolted togeth-
er in the shipyard before being taken
to pieces and sent to distant parts in
separate packages.
A large mission steamer built some
years ago for use on Lake Nyassa, in
Africa, was erected in England as If
for launching. But no rivets were
used; bolts and nuts held the steel
framework together. The sides, port
and starboard, were painted in differ
ent colors, and every bar. plate, and
piece of steelwork bore different
number and letter.
Thus the builders In Africa could
tell at q glance whether plate be-
longed to one side or the other; the
exact position it was intended to oc-
cupy was denoted by the reference
number and letter. -.
In order to facilitate transport. this
steamer was divided into over three
thousand packages, each of which
weighed from half hundredweight to
five hundredweights.
The greatest difficulty encountered
in sending these ships abroad is with
the boilers and masts. The boilers
weigh many tons, and the masts are
difficult to handle on account of their
length.

DEvEsLofMEST OF %
q THE BACK COUNTRY
Development Board Following st
Louis Plan.

Charleston, s. Ca group of pro-
sressiye men from South Carolina
rent to Savannah Armistice Week,
1918. to hear the Hon. Franklin X.
Lane, Secretary Of the Interior, tell
his plan to make use Of the immense
tracts OF splendid farm lands located
in the Coastal Plain Section of the
Southeastern Atlantic States. Re-
turning to. Charleston these men
called in their friends. and at meet
ing held December 1S, 1918, organ
fed the S. c.. Landowners Associa-
tion, to be afterwards known as the
S. C. Development Board.
The attempt was made to organize
the State for the work Of placing its
natural advantages before its own
people and the outside world. On ac-
count OF the severe business de1res-
sion, it was necessary to abandon the
plans for the time being.
The business men who planned the
organization were never willing to
give UP the organization, and fur
nished the means to carry-on through
the very troublesome times now hap
piiy-at least in a measure, behind US.
The work Of the Board never ceased:
il looked after the affairs of the State
Of national nature, for instance Ma
tional Reclamation of wet and Cut
over Lands; secured beneficial, laws
at home, for instance the act To Pro-
mote and Further Cooperative Mar
keting; assisted in many ways in the
reorganization OF the economic life of
the State.
In the past the usefulness Of the
Development Board has been great
iy limited by the provision in it's by
laws calling for over sixty directors
and these scattered over the State; it
has been impossible to obtain quo
runs for the transaction Of regular
business, and referendums to act on
matters Of great moment submitted to
the State from the outside.
The Development Board enters the
coming year with its directorate re-
duced to nine members. --
in the past the Board has had a
part in too many movements. From
now on the work OF the Board Will be
restricted to advertising the wonder
full opportunities of the State, while

try development" maze famous by

WHAT FEEBLEAINDEDN is.

A feebleminded person is one whose
mind is too small to direct him how
to live properly. The feebleminded
are classified as follows: idiots, who.
are under three years of age mentally;
who are under eight years
of age mentally; and Morons, who are
under twelve years mentally.
itceLIemiGdedncss in our Public
Schools.
More than six thousand typical
school children from representative
sections Of South Carolina were re-
Gently tested by trained staff from
the National Committee for Menta!
Hygiene. They found 2.S per cent.
OF the white children and AZ per
cent. of the colored children to be
mentally defective. From these
facts it is estimated that there are not
less than thirteen thousand feeble
minded school children in our State.
Six cities in South Carolina have ini-
tiated special classes for the proper
training of these handicapped child
rem. One hundred and three are
being cared for at the State Train
ing School for the Predetermined al
Clinton. South Carolina. Thousands
of these unfortunate children are yet
unrecognized as mentally defective
and are constant trials to their parents
and teachers, both in scholarship and
behavior. Even for those recog-
nized as feebleminded the efforts
made by the public for their training
and treatment are pitifully made
uuate. Again they are hindrance
and a handicap to the normal child
zen of their classes, actually retard7
ing their progress and slowing them
down to the level of the inferior
mind. In later life the sad combl-
nation of a childish mind and adult
years brings these unfortunates into
conflice with society's customs. and
laws. If unframed, these mental de-
iectives usually become dependents
and delinquents. However, it has
been proven that by special training
in industrial and vocational lines
some of them may become. self sup
porting and many more may. be
'rained to usefulness. :: =;
What Shall We Do About Feeble
nlindcdness.
There should be established
travelling clinic with a trained staff to
visit the schools and diagnose the
mental defects of the children, and to
provide medical service for all those
whose condition may be improved
thereby. The State Training School
for the Predetermined should be. en-
larged SO that more of the unusually
difficult cases may be properly
rained. Special classes Should be
>inaugurated in all of the larger pub
lie schools of the State so. that these
."eel.leminded children might have the
