For the first time in her history she is in debt; not a debt incurred by bad management, nor by any loss of her resources, but by the increased demands made upon her for a larger service. To relieve her of that debt and to increase her resources, a special agent is employed, who is even now in the field appealing to her friends for gifts.

H RICE, State Superintendent of Education. M125287 REPORT. To t he Honorable the Senate and the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina : Gentlemen : The Public Schools of our State need money. Our system is capable of adjustment and amendment for all emergencies. These can be gradually applied, with the healthy growth of the work. It is well understood that we have too many schools. This tendency to multiply teaching places is natural, and has not been sufficiently guarded by law. The State undertook to give the peo ple a comprehensive and flexible system of schools, and very properly gave the Trustees, as nearest the voters, large powers. Under stress of political influence, in every neighborhood school houses have been sought, and too often located, without regard to the greatest good of the greatest number.

But objections having arisen in some quarters, and from those whose opinions are entitled to respect, to this mode of circulating what cannot but be deemed valuable information, and which is very generally adopted by the Boards of Health of other States, the Executive Committee has decided, in deference to the views of those who urge the objection, and who would prefer to have the Report wear less "the appearance of a medical journal," to publish this* year only such papers as have been supplied by the members of the Committee and by the Sub and Local Boards of Health in their annual reports.
