Excerpt from Some Educational and Legislative Needs of South Carolina Mill Villages Some Educational and Legislative Needs of South Carolina Mill Villages By Thomas F.Parker At no other time in its history has South CaroHna made such rapid progress towards plenty and distinction as in the last few years. Great changes are taking place rapidly and we must be on the alert to apply old principles to new issues that we may use each new opportunity and avoid new dangers. The two most powerful industrial agencies in the recent development of our State are agriculture and the manufacture of cotton. With agricultural prosperity, agricultural education is being pushed to a remarkable extent, by Nation and State, by individuals, by the Southern Railway, by the Cotton Seed Crushers Association, by the rural improvement association, by corn, cotton and tomato expositions, and in innumerable other ways. The farm co-operative demonstration work alone is spending in South Carolina in twelve months$29, 000.00, and the Peabody Board has appropriated for rural education during a like period$6, 200.00. A State law now requires that elementary agriculture shall be taught in the schools of the State. Our General Assembly in 1910 by joint resolution appointed a commission to make necessary investigations and report at this session upon the advisability of establishing agricultural schools and experimental stations in the State.
