A Young Man's Story
A young man descended from
a train in a certain city.
He quickly made his way to
the news stand and bought a
paper. Seating himself in the
waiting room, he took a pencil
from his pocket and began an
examination of the WANT AD
COLUMNS.
Within a few hours from the
time he had reached the city he
found a job. When he esmo
from the place where he had
obtained work by moans of the
HELP WANTED COLUMNS ha
again studies the papers, check
ing several of the ada under the
heading ROOMS to LET.
Than he started upon his search
for a room and soon found a
satisfactory location.
So the Want Ada in this esse
were of value to thrao persons
—the young msn, the employer
•nd the landlord.
EVERY WANT AD serves
■any people—its effect at times
l( very far reaching.

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS
Since Providence, R. I., started the
first open air school In 1908, the num
ber of cities having them has in-
erased as follows:
1908—Three cities.
1901)—Seven cities.
1910— Fifteen cities.
1911— Thirty-two cities.
1912— Sixty cities.
Roughly speaking, the number of
cities having open air schools has dou
bled each year. At the recent Inter
national Congress on School Hygiene
lio subject wan morn nagnrly discussed
At present the most interesting phases
of the movement are the successful
attempts of educators and architacte
to make the benefleialresults of open
air achoollng available far normal
children in ordinary schools.
If you like the Herald as
a newspaper tell your
friends about it
Thai the teaching of English in the
high school needs thorough reorgani
zation to bring it into touch with mod
ern social and industrial demands is
frankly stated by Professor James F.
Ilosic, of Chicago Teachers’ College.
He nuggesU a course in English |
that will meet present-day require- {
mentf.
In this course English composition !
will be limited to subjects for speak
ing and writing which can be made to
appeal to young people, according to
Dr. Hosic. “In both composition and
literature there will be a shift of em
phasis towards those subjects and ac
tivities that are of greatest value in
actual life - for example, oiai expres
sion—and towards modern books and
periodicals. It is not to be inferred,
however, that the supreme values in
herent in the world’s literary master
pieces will be overlooked.’’
A fairly heavy task in character-
training as well as in the mechanics
of English is put upon thp teacher by
the makers of the new course. “Broad
ly speaking,” says the report, “It
should be the purpose of every Eng
lish teacher first to quicken the spirit
and kindle the mind and imagination
of his pupils, and to develop habits to
hie her living; second, to supply the
pupils with an effective tool for use
in their future private and public life
—i. e., the best command of language
which, under the circumstances, can
he given them ” The report then
gives an outline of the proposed Eng
lish instruction from the seventh
grade through the high school.

APPLING COUNTY BOYS ARE
ATTENDING SHORT COURSES
Monday morn 5 ng an even half dot*
en boys from Appling county left for
Athens where they go to take the
short winter course given in agricul
ture at that college.
This meana a great deal for Ap
pling county. It means that these
young farmers, -who have already
demonstrated their leadership in their
respective communities, are seeking a
greater knowledge, searching for bet
ter methods and plans for the culti
vation and growing of crops. It
means that when they return they will
be able to do better work this year
than they did last year. New ideas
will be formed and the best methods
used by best young farmers of the
state will be taught.
Th€ citizens of Appling county feel
great interest and pride in these
young men who have by their indus
try, intellect and enterprise placed
Applinr in the front rank as an agri
cultural section. By their efforts, in ,
the apace of one year, they have ac
complished something that some of
our older farmers have been working
a life time to demonstrate %nd have
| as yet to make their show, and that 13
to let the state know we have one of
the richest and most productive soils
to be found in South Georgia.
These boys have added mental work
to labor and as a result have done
something. We should honor them
and give them every possible encour
agement. They represent the future
wealth and citizenship of our grand
old county, and who among us does
not feel a pride in her future growth
and development?
Cha3. Tippins, who received one of
the scholarships, was unable to go on
account of illness and Ralph E. You-
mans was selected as alternate and
went in his place. The other boys go
ing were Jas. M. Williams, Joe Brown.
John Parker, Elzy Aldridge and Ranic
Oxcn'dine.
All of the boys were delighted with
Superintendent Parker’s selection of
a chaperon when he announced to
them that Col. J. B. Moore would he j garten had some

The following sentences were made
by the children of the first grade in

“I had such a good time Christ
mas. Santa Claus was so goood to
me. He brought me a table, doll, a
tea set, a doll bed, and some candy.
Santa Claus came to see us at
school too. I’m so glad he came. He
was diessed in a red suit trimmed In
fur ard had a locking cap.
We went to Miss Kaufman's Christ
man tree. Ii was so pretty and
bright. It was the first one I ever
saw. I went to another one Christ
mas.
I am glad to get hack to school. 1
like to go to school and study my les
sons hard. Miss Annie had so many
new pupils that she sent some of us to
Minn Frances. We are going to study
herd and go to the second grade. We
have forty-six pupils in our room
now.”
Fourth Grade.
Here are three compositions from
the fourth grade. The little people
have written to tell you what good
times all the children had at Christ
ma3.
Oconeo Street School.
The last day of schoool the kinder
garten had a Christmas tree and the
little girls got a doll, a pair of gloves,
a box of blocks, and a sack of good
things to eat.

tions and soncs after the kindergarten
went home old Santa Claus came to
see us. We have some band boys in
our room and they gave us some

We have two new pupils. We have

Do You Realize
It is Time to
Register ?
Have you registered?
If not, now is a good time to do
it.
Many citizens of Clarke county will
find this year, when the state prima
ries and elections ate held, that they
are not qualified to vote. And they
will find it out too late to remedy mat
ters.
Under the new state law a citizen
cannot register unless he pays his
state and county taxes. When he does
this end registers he is permanently
registered. After that, all he has to
do in order to be qualified to vote is
to pay his taxes every year.
But—and here comes the rub—if he
doesn’t pay his taxes ana register six
months before the next state election,
he won’t be eligible to vote in the pri
m»ry which will probably be held
soma time in August.
At preeent a number of citizens are
registering under the new permanent
registration law, some of them hav
ing looked after this when they paid
their taxes but a larger number
citizens have failed, at this writing,
te qualify, and the ebject of this little
reminder is to put them right.
The state primary this year will be
a meat important one, and everybody
will want to vote. All the state of
ficers from governor down, will be
elected. Hon. S. J. Tribble’s term will
expire as congressman, as will also the
term of Senator Hoke Smith, and so
there will be these offices to be filled,
well as the regular state offices,
including gevernor, supreme court
justices, and all to mention the num
erous county offices, the filling of
which will furnish plenty of amuse
ment itself.
