with a group of springtiI1ae songs
The chairman Of the association
II en- announced that DR.. Wardlaw
was detained on account Of
wreck on the railroad, but that
quite fortunately he had been able
TO secure DR.. Anderson as a speak
er. DR.. Anderson is q. noted writer
and historian and happened9to be
in Sumter getting some historical
data for a survey he is now max
ing. He gave the teachers the
benefit of his experience and made
some very constructive criticisms
about the use and teaching Of his
tory. DR.. Wardlaw arrived just at
the conclusion Of has address IN
time to speak to the association.
He chose as his subject, Growth
in the Teaching Profession, sub
ject that has been much discussed
in educational. circles, but, with
the freshness of one. who with
many years Of intensive expert
ence, has continued to grow. Dr..
Wardlaw inspired the group to new
endeavor TO become efficient teach
ers, and worthy members Of the
teaching profession. His address
was full Of constructive and prae-
tical advice and the true greatness,
of the man behind the message,
filled it with power and interest.

Publishers Have Problems

Receipts from advertising and
subscriptions during 1921 fell short
of meeting the cost Of producing
the Mortified, Minnesota, News by
$1.663.20.
The cost-including mechanical
and editorial expense-or produc-
ing an average Of The News dur
ing 1921 was 500.
The total receipts from subscrip-
tions at two dollars a year would
pay the cost of producing nine is
sues of The News.
Advertising receipts mast make
up the balanace-and in 1921 the
revenue from this source fell con-
siderably short of meeting the to-
tai cost of production.
If subscribers were to pay an
amount needed to meet the cost
OF production, the subscription rate
in 1921 would have been $7.65.
Confronted by this situation
which is typical in the country
newspaper field-publishers cannot
reduce subscription rates, no mat
ter how keenly they might wish to
do so, without courting financial
disaster. Neither can cut in ad-
rertising rate be introduced until
production costs decline. This can
not be brought about quickly as
trained printers are not a drug on
the market, in fact, for years this
has been. an underpaid profession
to such an extent that new recruits
were not attracted to it. During the
war printers wages reached a level
somewhat commensurate With the
intelligence and the years Of train
ing requtred-to become proficient
in the trade.
The onNitem entering into the
cost OF producing newspaper that
has shown a material reduction
since tfeSwar Is: paper. and IN: the
case of a,fcountry weekly Of the
standard of The News this item
represents l-27th Of the total cost.

have their problems but the pah-
fishers of newspapers have a few
to worry about also.-NortSSeld

MEETING OF
COMMISSION
Mayesyille Road Voted to Be
Widened to Eighteen Feet to
Comply with State System
Specifications. Powell Paw
ing Company Extends Invi-
tation to Commission

A meeting of the Permanent
Hard Surface Road Commission for
Sumter county was held on April
4th, in the Office of Lee, Pennell
and Murray, with all members of
the commission present.
Bills presented by the Mallard
Lumber company. Adams-Evans
Construction company and the
Slattery & Henry Construction
company for materials and for
work being done on the roads and
bridges of the county at the pres
ent time, We're approved by the
commission.
The matter Of the widening of
the Mayesville road from sixteen
feet to eighteen feet was brought
up before the meeting and the
majority of the members Of the
commission expressed themselves
as being in favor of the eighteen
foot road, as this road is one of
the roads which is to form the con-
templated STATE highway system
and must also bear federal inSpec-
ton. The specifications Of the
roads forming this proposed high
way system of the state call for an
eighteen foot road. The oppo-
sition TO the widening OF this road
was on the grounds that more
miles could be built Of sixteen foot
road for the same cost Of the lesser
number of miles Of eighteen foot
road.
An invitation was read from the
Powell Paving and Contracting
company, of Columbia. inviting the
members Of the commission to CO.
Mmbia TO inspect some Of the. con-
crete paving that this company was
laying on some o fthe roads of

ed upon April 10Th as the day
on which the trip could be made.
