unused and will revert to the treas
ury, which is likewise true of the
amount for equipment. This equip
ment will practically pay for itself in
1922, and as its probable life is five
CT SIX years there is considerable
net gain to the state.
The revolving fund is exactly what
it's name implies. tt is used to pur-
chase office supplies for the various
departments. These supplies which,
before this committee began to act
as purchasing agent, were bought at
retail prices in small quantities, are
now bought at wholesale, cntailing a
saving of practically $4,000 for 1929.
This money is refunded to the state
treasury as the different departments
settle their accounts.
There is another phase of the COM
mittce's work which has been prodoc-
tive of lowered operating costs for
other departments fthe government.
Contracts for all job printing for the
various departments are awarded
through this Office. A considerable
sum has been saved not only by Sc
curing the best prices by competitive
bidding, but expert advice in the use
OF, paper has saved great amount
VI money. BESIDES thorc is q ten
dency towards coordination and STAN
dardization which has often prevented
the printing of unnecessary forms.
The. small expense to which the
state is put for the operating ex-
penses OF the joint committee on print
ing is returned many times in the
economies which the committee has
been able to effect. The committee is
the one department of the govern
ment which was instituted simply and
solely for the purpose of economic
ing. That is has more than fulfilled
the mission which the authors of the
act creating it had in mind is clearly
demonstrated by the. figures given
above, which are taken from the pub
lie records.

FEEBL LEMINDNESS AT THE
STATE PENITENTIARY

A recent study made by the Ma
tional Committee for Mental Hygiene
of three hundred and ten inmates of
the State Penitentiary and the State
Farms shows some startling facts:
64.2 per cent of all these inmates
were handicapped by some abnormal
mental condition, either subnormal in
intelligence, fcebleminded, psychopa-
thic personality, or suffering with
epilepsy, brain disease, drug addiction
or glanular disorders.
1914 per cent, or practically one in
every five, were found to be definitely
feebleminded.
4O per cent were repeated Offend
ers, individuals who had served pre-
vious sentences and had been in and
out of courts before, individuals in
whom the state had failed to accom-
plish what it had set out to accom-
lish--to effect their reformation.
1872 per cent had never gone to
school and were. illiterate.
II per cent had not progressed be-
yond the fourth grade at school.
If, these persons are typical Of the
ponal population in South Carolina.
and there is no reason to believe that
they are not, our courts and prisons
are dealing more than half of the
time with offenders who are either
below the average in intelligence or
who are otherwise abnormal men,
tally Such persons are always po-
tential criminals and in periods of dis
order and under the influence Of So
called crime waves, they become an
even greater than usual menace to
society.
Mental Defect in Our Jail Population
Of the two hunderd and thirty-four
inmates studied in the county iails
OF Anderson, Pickens, Kershaw, Lex
ington, Richland, Florence and Char
lesion.
1877 per cent were found to be
feebleminded.
AZ per cent. were repeated Offend
ers, and
56 per cent were handicapped by
some abnormal mental condition.
If these detectives could be- dis
covered in the county jails and their
mental condition made part of their
recrods, it would prove Of great
value to the courts in deciding what
should be done with them, and to the
officials of penal institutions in de-
termining suitable treatment.

some FACTS ABOUT
THE PUBLIC PRINTING
To the Editor:

& To the Editor:
; I respectfully request space in your
valuable paper to give few facts
and figures, compiled from the public
! records, in regard to the work of the
Joint committee on printing.
i. The committee was established by
4 law in 1916 as result of an inves-
i tigation of spelial committee of
both houses, the findings Of which
z showed that the method of handling
4 the. states printing was careless and
inefficient, and that a more efficient
method could be made to yield large
dividend$ for q small investment of
7 expense. These conclusions of the
special committee were we'll founded,
as subsequent developments have
,,proved. Gradually the work of the
committee has expanded until today
not only the public printing is han
died by it, but all office supplies and
printing for all departments Of the
!. state government are purchased
:. through the committee and the total
net savings aggregate considerable
sum.
The average annual cost of the pub
lie printing for the six-year period
from 1911 to 1917 was $32,901.81,
WiIlc 1oI Ine SlX-yeaf period from
, 1917 to 1923 the average annual cost
is so far $28,108, with the permanent
code Of laws Of 1922 still to be paid
for, which will make general aver
age of $32, ,444.66 a year for the past
six years, though this average will be
reduced by refunds from the sale of
theA 922 code. This reduction of the
average yearly cost has been attained
), despite the fact that within the past
few years the cost Of printing has
more than doubled and the "defiation"
IN this industry. has not kept pace
With thai in other lines. (The price
of book paper of the grade used for
the, state printing is now s 1-2 to 8
cents per pound, as against A and s
cents per pound in 1914 and previous
years. At one time it reached Is
cents. Wages, which increased an
average of about 100 per cent, have
not declined at all.) ~
The figures Of cost for public print
ing, for the years 1911 to 1922, both
inclusive, are as follows:
