School Attendance
Decreases
Legislature Emasculated Com
pulsory School Attend
ance Law

Columbia, Dec. There we're
1000 fewer pupils enrolled in the
pubic schools of South Carolina
this year than We're enrolled two
years ago." said John e. Swear
ingen state superintendent of ed
ucation, when asked yesterday to
make some observations on COM
pulsory attendance law, This de-
crease in attendance might De ac-5
counted for, in part. he said. by
the migration of the negro.
MY observation is that the COM
pulsory attendance law was in the.
way of accomplishing what it was
intended to do. 1t was doing a fine
work. -
The compulsory school atend-
ance. law is still on the statute
books of South Carolina, but as
no appropriation was made for the
employment of attendance officers,
the law is. practically without eff
feet. NO law viii enforce itself, .
Mr.. Swearingen said yesterday.
''The increase in the attendance
of white and negro pupils when
the law was in force was about
80 per cent. over that OF. the year
previous he said. 'It put S9,-
600 children in school in the first
year of its operation and it gave
them four months schooling, thus
paying for itself, for many of these
children were taught a little at any
rate and many of them doubtless
continued their school work in after
years. It in that one year help,
ed somewhat to remove the bur-.
den of illiteracy.
"The increase in attendance of
pupils brought about by the COM
pulsory law was cared for in a
measure in, the white schools, but
not so in the negro schools. The
white schools. though. are even
now overfowing. We need LOCO
more class rooms for the white
children now, and for the negroes,
the need is almost unlimited.
The compulsory attendance law
likely had something to do with
increasing the enrolment in the
high schools. The high school en-
.rollment is twice as great as it was
and the colleges too are full. even
though this year is referred to as
a hard. year. It is likely that af-
ter pupils were kept in school a
year longer than they otherwise
might have stayed. they had am--
bitions aroused and thus were
brought to make up their minds
to continue their studies.
81 believe a compulsory attend
ance law is wise measure. It
needs four things in South Caro-
lima to make it serviceable: they
are improved and adequate accom-
modations for white and black.
attendance officers to enforce it; a
provision requiring the pupil to at.
tend the school for the full term.

objections which are heard now.

SHIPPING
BILL BEFORE
SENATE
Discussion Goes on as
Rural Credits Meas
ure is Not in Sight

y
ninistration shipping bill was held
up before the senate today as a
measure .sfor the benefit OF the
American farmer, the American
business man and the American
nation. and On the other hand as
"a direct raid on the treasury to
nav some people to do what they
ought to do without payment.
The measure was before the sen
ate for more than four hours and
during that time was praised by
Senator Jones of Washington.
chairman OF the commerce COM
mittee. and was attacked by Sen
5ator Fletcher of Florida, ranking
Democratic member Of the same
committee. While the discussion
proceeded on the floor. foes Of the
measure and advocates of rural
credits legislation further cement
ed their alliance designed to dis
place the ship bill in favor Of the
farm measure Indications became
increasingly apparent however,
that this move could not be made
in the near future. as no rural
credit bill possessing any consld-
erable degree of support appeared
IN sight in the senate committee
rooms.
Senator Jones in concluding his
opening statement on behalf of the
shipping bill, which he began yes
serday. appealed for support by the
farmers and by labor. He e1npha
sized the national defense possibili-
ties of firmly established Ameri-
can merchant marine and declar-
ed the German merchant marine
>a,on the war for the allies. When
senator's expressed surprise at the
declaration he presented figures to
81 . II that German ships which were
selzed in American ports carried
SOC. .0o0 American soldiers to
France, whereas American ships
transported only 24S.oo0 troops.
why senators" he exclaimed,
..if we had gotten only about
.24e, 600 troops overseas, the result
Of the world war would have been
different.
Senator Fletcher, who charged
the bill was "a direct raid on the
treasury" quoted Chairman Lask-
er of the shipping board as having
said that ..it is pure bunk to
charge that the cost of operating
American ships was increased ma
sterially by the La Toilette sea-
mems act. He asserted that his
Investigation convinced him there
was no particular difference in the
cost of operating vessels under the
American flag as compared with
those under foreign flags and in
sisted that higher wage scales
could not be used as an argument
for government aid fore American
shipping.
The Florida senator declared the
shipping board had conducted
obnoxious propaganda in behalf
of the legislation and said that
speakers sent out by the board
had "resorted to opinion in support
Of this bill without dealing with the
fundamental facts regarding it,
Senator Fletcher will continue his
discussion of the measure tomor-
row and probably Will be followed
by Senator La Toilette (Republi-
CAM of Wisconsin, who will in
augurate the onslaught of the new
progressive bloc on the legislation.

The tiiph School Girls Needs,

People IN general think of the high
school girl as a fortunate girl--a pro-
tected girl with d chance for cduca-
tlon and development. II is true that
she Is usually the daughter Of we'll
to-do parents or Of those who appre
ciate the value OF education suffic-
iently to be willing to sacrifice much
for her Advancement Yet very few Of
these parents have any conception of
the real needs Of the girl during this
period Of her llfo--a period, IS we all
know, Of fundamental changes ana
great emotional Instability.
Most parents. though governed by
unseliish motives, do the worst pos
slble thing for their high school
daughter, They free her from ali du-
ties and responsibilities except those
pertaining directly to her prescribed
course of study. Such course usu-
ally consists of four years of more or
less formal English Latin, Mathemat-
les and modern language, varied by a
year or two of teXt-domlnated science
or college preparatory history. such
subject matter makes little or no de-
mand upon a girl for artistic or
aesthetic experience, nor does 1t give
her any opportunity for the exercises
of her creative impulses, which Is per-
haps the strongest urge Of her nature
at this time for some inspiring and
satisfying outlet.
With the same mistaken idea OF her
welfare her parents provide for her
amusement exciting movies" or the
alter entertainments which
