expenditure.
In 1922 South Caro!ina's s percent
age of state aid was only l2.G7 per
cent, as compared with 15.S IN 1920.
Some of this reduction is doubtless
due to the course of the legislature Of
1922 which materially cut the state 5
expenditures for the puciic schools.
The consensus of opinion among
educators Of the nation is that the
state as unit should apply at least
so per cent of the public school in
come. Inevitably South Carolina
will have to furnish a far greater
proportion of funds for its schools
than st present, although that desir-
able development will be deferred
for some years on account OF adverse
economic conditions now prevailing
in the state.

STATE PARTICIPATION
IN SCHOOL SUPPORT
Grecnvillc Piedmont.

GfecHNElC IlCullOUt.
Many students of school admins
tr;l.ion urge a shift of the burden of
school support from the local district,
where it now rests, to the larger un
its, state and county. This is urged
because public education is conceiv-
ed as fundamentally state function,
and it is held that adequate education
al opportunity can &c secured only
through a much larger participation
in school support by the larger un-
its, particularly the state. According
to figures compiled in the bureau of
education for the year 1920, the pro-
portions of school revenues provided
in the country as whole by the three
importan. units-state, county and
local district-werc 1913 per cent,
ia per cent, and 71.6 per cent, re-
spcctively. The advocates Of larg-
er participation BY the state urge
that the states contribution Of 1853
per cent should be increased at least
to ore-third of the total, and some
would say to SO per cent or more.
The respective percentages Of
school revenues contributed by the
several states as such in 1920 are as

BELIEVED JEFFORDS AND HAIR
RISON SOON PAY WITH LIVES

Columbia, Dec. Tt is expected
that F. NJ. Jeffords and Ira Harrison
will not have many more days OF
grace on earth, following the refusal
of Chief Justice Gary yesterday to
grant them writs of error, on which
to base their appeals to the United
States supreme court. The state su-
preme court has already passed on
their cases and dismissed their ap-
peals, and it is not expected that the
United States supreme court will
grant them a new trial. They will, IN
this event, at ar early date pay the
desth penalty for the murder Of j. c.
Annette, Columbia filing station pro-.
prietor, who was beat to death in his
place of business on Main street last
May.
With their cases finally disposed Of
by the state supreme court, the only
chance the two convicted men have
of getting new trials is to go before
a Justice of the United States su-
preme court and apply for writ on
which to appeal to that tribunal.
However, it is not generally expected
that United Safes supreme justice
would grant the writ, after the re-
fusal of the chief justice of the state
supreme court to grant such a basis
for appeal. No announcement has
been made by attorneys for the two
prisoners as to what course they vii!
follow, but it is not thought likely
that even should writ be granted
that the United States supreme court
will grant the two new trials.
Unless writ issues from the high
est tribunal Jeffords will die on De-
cem,3er %. He has recently beer
sentenced the second time to death IN
the electric chair three days before
Christmas. Harrison, unless the su-
prene court assumes jurisdiction IN
his appeal, will be: re-sentenced at the
next term Of the criminal court IN
Columbia, beginning January Q. JET
fords is represented by Jesse B. Ad-
ans of Washington; Harrison is rep
resented by B B. Evans of Columbia.
Two points are raised in their pc
tition of writ On which to appeal;
first that a severance Of the cases
should have bee2 granted, and sec
ond: that the confessions of each Of
the two men should not have been al
lowed in evidence against the other.

-FOUR IRISH LEADERS
ARE EXECUTED
Rory O'Connor, Liam Mellows, Mae
kelvey and Barret, Face Free
State Firing Squad Calmly

Dublin, Dec. S.-I-elanG's bloody
vendetta continues. Mortified last
night by the assassination of Zan
Hales and the shooting Of Patrick
O'Malley, Dublin was appalled, today
by the execution of Rory O'Connor
and his comrades. Everywhere peo-
pie are asking when and how it is all
going to end.
A special meeting of the cabinet
was called last night to discuss the
assassination of Hales. None Of the
cabinet member except Minister of
Home Affairs O'Higgins appeared in
the Dali, so that body adjourned at
once.
Meanwhile President Cosgrave and
the cabinet took their decision re-
garding drastic action against the
Republicans-deciding upon the exc
cution Of the four who were shot this
morning.
Rory O'Connor and his comrades.
learned their fate an hour later. All
:of them received the decision calmly
and priests were assigned to them.
Their Last Hours
Liam Mellowes wrote all night,
working on a document which will
soon be published. O'Connor, Mac
Keivey and Barrett wrote letters to
their relatives.
The four Republicans were execut-
ed at 9:20 this morning and all OF
them faced the firing squad calmly.
Liam Mellowes was without doubt
most patriotic Irishnnan, bat he
lacked something which Michael Col
lins possessed. He was not practical
and did not do. much reasoning-he
was purely an ideahst.
Rory O'Connor was probably an
actor, but an actor who was response
BILE for heaping ruin upon Ireland.
He was not prominent figure when
all of the leaders were standing TO-
sether in common cause against Eng
land. Then, however, ne performed
a part and performed it bravely. He
shipped munitions from America,
travelling as stoker week after
week. He died as he lived-a brave
man.
Captured at Four Courts
''Rory mistook Mick's generosity,
for.p said Collins sister today, dis
casing o'Connor's, actions, IF he
had acted as wisely and well as Rleh-
ard Mulcahy he would still be alive
and honoced. Those who joined the
De Valera group mostly did so for the
notoriety."
MacKelvey was. an adjutant when
O'Connor occupied the -Four Courts,
and Barrett was quartermaster. All
of them were taken prisoners when
thev surrendered the Four Courts at
the end Of June after the long siege

SEEN
BY CLEMENCEAU
Believes America Will Reentcr
European Affairs-Up to
Diplomacy

Washington, Dec. S.-GeorgeS
Clemenceau closing his visit to Wash
ington this afternoon with form
al" address, expressed the hope that
diplomacy would find the way to
bring America back into European
affairs through what he interpreted
as an overture" by President Hard
ing in the annual message the execu-
tive had read to congress few hours
earlier.
II was greatly comforted," said
the war time premier of France,
when I read in the message of your
president the following lines. They
are not very leng, but they are very
suggestive :
:" The four power pact, which abol-
ishes every proba bility of war on the
Pacific, has brought new confidence
in maintained peace, and l can we'll
believe it might be made model for
like assurances wherever in the world
any common interests are concern
cd, Sr - * ESsFS -
$50 you see," continued the Tiger,
shat even those who are supposed
to disagree, really agree at the very
bottom Of their feeling and reasoning
power. That is what l ask. and I hope
this is something ike an overture,
that some light viii be coming, and l
will be very glad if it comes from
America and / hope that diplomacy
will have something to say about it,
and talks may Be engaged in, which,
/ am sure, can bring nothing but good
for US ALL"
When Clemeneeau's reference to
the presidents message was called to
the attention of the White House, It
was said that there was no comment
to ,5e made and that there was no in
tention Of celebrating on the presi-
dents statement to congress.
Clemenceau's address delivered be-
fore an audience including many
diplomats, government officials and
members of both houses OF congress,
was, in it's essence the ':peace mes
sage" he first delivered in Chicago.
But, apparently sensing that official
Washington would judge of him and
his mission by this speech, he spoke
deliberately and chose his words with
great precision. rS
The former premier answered the
argument that the American taxpay-
er can not pay Frances bill with the
assertion That France could not pay
those of Germany, and argued tina.
America should help 70 make Germa-
ny pay.
NJ. Clemenceau asked why the
United States vert to war whether
it was to help France or to make de-
mocracy safe. If it was for the latter
reason, he asked that the United
States look afar and see the barbar-
ism of the Turks and the anarchy Of
Russia.
The Tiger boarded his special
train shortly after o'clock to go to
Philadelphia, where he is scheduled
to speak tomorrow morning.

states, or less than one-third OF
them, pay as much as one-fourth' OF
the cost of running their schools, and
that one-half of the states pay as lit
tie as one-sixth, some much less
than that proportion. Moreover, sta
! tistical studies of school funds show
that for many years the states con-
tributions to support have been rela-
lively diminishing. This is largely
due to the fact that districts have had
from time to time to vote additional
tax levies. while state tax rates, many
of which are fixed in constitutions.
are more inert, and state appropria-
tions show similar quality. There
is now a tendency, however, if one
may Judge from legal provisions, to-
ward larger state contribution. Or,
from another point of view, many of

Arizona, California, Delaware, Geor-

Washi.gton. The first mentioned
state provided state funds sufficient
to produce $25 pe- capita of average

an act of 1919 Georgia set aside for

Education for citizenship In
this country makes peculiar

the fact that liberty is the right
to do as we ought and not as
we may wish. We believe In

instincts are dominant at the
age of four. To the kindergarten
Is entrusted the great RESPONSE

of so balancing self-expression
and self-repression as to develop
a human personality that is at
