Impressive Warnings

The article discusses the annual report of 1884 on public educational of South Carolina by Asbury Coward, Superintendent of Public education in South Carolina. The report bears a very striking testimony to the disastrous effect, which the mere talk about the U.S. Federal aid has exerted in that State. Last week there came to light two stronger proofs that the South does not need any educational appropriations from Washington. The annual report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction in North Carolina for the last school year shows that there had been an increase over the previous year in the school expenditures, of $51,693, in the number of pupils enrolled, of 18,850, in the average attendance, of 583, in the number of schoolhouses, of 214 and in the length of the school year, of nearly a week.
