SOUTH cARoLINA's PROGRESS

That the colored people of South
Carolina are receiving more and more
consideration in the matter of pub
lie school facilities was shown by the
presence of, and helpful address from
J. B. FELTON,, Columbia, S. C., who is
the State supervisor OF colored schools
and who during two and a half years
OF service has secured admirable re-
suits in the form of more and better
schools for worthy colored citizens.
Professor FELTON, brought the Negro
ministers and teachers the regard and
respect of State Superintendent Swear
ingen, who has again and again shown
his willingness to work hard to secure
more public funds for colored, as we'll
as white schools.
Professor FELTON, stated that in 1920
Fl there had been completed in South
Carolina So Rosenwald schools.
Eleven more we're completed before
December 81, 1921. From July l, 1921
to June 80, 1922, 40 more Rosenwald
schools had been completed. In short,
80 new Negro rural schools had been
built within two years. These schools
are comfortable, sanitary, well-equip-
ped buildings. Some 1000 colored
teachers in South Carolina have been
receiving training for their work in
10 summer schools, including the
school at Belts Academy, which is
directed by Professor Henry P. But
Ter, who like his co-wofkers, is putting
his life unreservedly into his work of
serving the children of a needy race.
