By William A. Johnson

The Columbia (SC) State this
week published the following
as an editorial: ''The univer-
sity of North Carolina has COM
pleted an important study of
$4,000 boys and girls living in
eight North Carolina counties.
The study included facts about
the parents of these boys and
girls. For example: "The white
fathers who never went to any
school earn a mean income of
1851; those who graduated
from a high school average ST.
652; those who went to college
average $1,889- Negro fathers
who never went to school aver
age $692; those having a high
school education earned $3.50,
and 5000 for those who attended
college. There again is support
for the thesis so often present
ed, and supported by -edu-
cation and income are associated
Relief rolls show that many
persons on relief have no school
ing, or only a little. This thesis
has meaning in every state and
strong meaning in South Caro-
lima where income is low partly
because education is inadequate.
This state can only make money
by spending money for. sensible
education. Improvement in hu-
man beings is our fundamental
need. We have great roads, and
good = sometimes splendid -
public buildings. But we have
relatively uneducated. public.
This acknowledgement by the
press. in the state of South caro-
lima is great forward step a
'ong the line of education. Souch
Carolina is. a forward step a.
long the line of education. Such
candid revelation will no doubt
result in greater appropria-
tions for educational purposes.
We have:kn6Wn that the edu-
cational standard in the State
Of South Carolina was very
low, especially among the Ne
gro, residents. Now, we know
that there is a relatively un-
educated public.
Since there is a desire to in.
crease the income of the State
there is great hope that greater
emphasis and larger appropria-
tions be made for the education
of the Negro youth.
My hat is off to the Columbia
State for acknowledging this
gross neglect in matters OF
educating all residents regard

control over the Patrol or its activi-
ties. It's separate distinct entity
which concerns itself with law en-
forcement.
That let's him out as far as the
three patrol incidents are concerned.
AS for the Brewers, Hocutt had no
more to do with hiring them than
did your Raleigh reporter. Unfor-
t,lnately, Hocutt hasn't anything to
do with either the hiring or the fir
ing in his division. That, manifest
ly, is no defense of the system but it
is a perfect defense for Hocutt per-
sonally.
The safety director, manifestly,
can't come out and say anything
about this angle Of the matter. He
keeps his job only at the will of the
very same personnel Committee"
which does all the hiring and firing
for the Revenue Department.
This committee functions under
the Commissioner Of Revenue, who
until a few days ago was A. J. Max
well. Since the Maxwell leave Of alb
sence began the department is under
direction of L. o. Gregory, former
assistant Attorney General.
It's other members are w. J. Spain,
assistant commissioner: R. R. Nc
Laughlin, director of the Motor We
hicle division; and Charles England
This group has complete charge
of employment in all divisions Of the
revenue department.
So what often happens is that Mr..
Spain, for instance. will send for
Mr.. Hocutt and tell him that so-and-
SO has been employed in the high
way safety division.
Naturally Hocutt isn't talking
about it-he can't; but there is ample
'evidence that he has absolutely no
power except that Of recommended
ton when it comes to hiring anyone
in his division or firing one if his
work is unsatisfactory.
AS already said, this is no defense
or the department or the division,
per Sc. There probably would be
greater safety division efficiency
