There is always a tendency among a few fn a group to think that just enough work to pass is sufficient re gardless of how it is done. This idea has caused the failure in many at tempts, as tljp usual result ,1s that not quite enough to pass is done. We should not allow ourselves to accept this attitude, much less cultivate it, as we can never achieve much by means of it. We should be determined to do everything we attempt, the very best we can and to succeed in doing as' much as possible, never Bhunning anything that we could profit by doing. By this we do not mean that we should jump at every opportunity tot do some thing but to keep as our slogan, “One thing at a time and that done well.” ThiB applies to every walk of life. Take for example the student. In most cases the pupil who fails in school is the one who tries to get by by doing just enough. These pupils are also the men and women who in life never sueceed. in reaching a goal above that of the average, as the motto, "Just enough to pass,” adopted in their youth follows them into manhood and woman hood.

That is what the school is for, The building, the teacher, the book, all, should primarily serve • the wel fare of the child. The curriculum is not the main thing. The child is. If the curriculum is suited to the de velopment of the child and helps the child, it ie good. It should be helpful to the child’s health, happiness and character. The school with the course of study properly adjusted ought to afford the child an opportunity for happy, joyous, successful daily work. It ought to afford an opportunity for the accumula tion of useful information, and an op portunity of good habits, refined tastes and high ideals. To have such a school for our chil- Watson. _ Mrs. Felton was much ■ impressed ( j ren we mug t gj ve more freely of our with the courtesies of all Washing- money, our time and our co-operation. ton, and looked on the day that Bhe KITCHENS and COMPANY FANCY GROCERIES ALL KINDS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IN SEASON CRANBERRIES 20 cts. qt.

That person (It mat ters not how many honors or degrees the person has) Is imperfectly educat ed who has not formed a habit of con tinued and skillful use of books after leaving school. Millions of people will never go to college, will never attend a hi^h school. Much of the education of the people must come from the reading of books outside of the regular school textbooks. Abraham Lincoln educated himself by reading books at home. Joel Chandler Harris—probably the best known of all Georgia writers—se cured his early education largely in reading the books he found in the lib rary on the Tumor plantation in Put nam county. The blind worship of the false gods of education—marks, promotions, units, credits, degrees—should be avoided. The mechanical organization of the school, the machinery of education, may be needed, but the true educator will always look beyond the machinery, be yond the organization, beyond the cur riculum, beyond the book, and see the child. Judge a school or college not alone by its buildings, or propaganda, or pub licity, or announcements or catalogue, or curriculum, or faculty, bitt by its products—the graduates. i Is the product—the graduate—strong and fine in health, in character, in personality, in manners, in morals, In tastes, in ideals, in patriotism, in co operation, in courtesy, in refinement, in usefulness and in adjustment to life and life’s problems? Every school should teach morals, manners, health and citizenship (by ex ample as well as by precept.) “Character building is the teachers greatest work * * * ” “When a nation begins to neglect the moral education of its children, it be gins to decay.” If the school or college fails to give proper character training, then the tax payer should protest and keep on protesting until the moral tone of the school is improved. ‘We must make our schools safe for our children.” UNHANDICAPPED.

The total exports for 1921 were 128,974,505 bushels and for the first eight months of 1922, 131,463,248 bush els. These figures do not include corn meal and corn flour, of which 452,766 barrels—the equivalent of 1,811,064 bushels of corn—were exported dur ing the first eight months of 1922. EDUCATION BOARD (Of County Has Right to Hire farm Agents. A county board of education Is au thorized by law to employ a county demonstration agent, a home economics agent and a vocational agricultural teacher, It was decided-Friday by the supreme court in a teat case made In Wilkes county. But a county board of education is not authorized by law to assign a vocational agricultural teacher to a high school belonging to the school system of a city in the county, even though pupils residing in the county outside of the city are admitted to such a high school, and even though the city furnishes the room for such teacher and the laboratory equipment, etc., the court further held. David N. Butler and S. A. Ware, tax payers of Wilkes county, petitioned the superior court to enjoin the county board of education from employing the above named. They contended that the law codes does not authorize the use of county school funds for such a purpose. They further contended that the Wilkes county board of education was not authorized to assign the voca tional agricultural teacher to the high school of the city of Washington. Judge 'Shirley granted an interlocu tory injunction which the county board appealed to the supreme court. The court upholds the injunction as to the assignment of the teacher to the city high school but reverses it as to the other question. Fayetteville Scouts. The Boy Scouts of Fayetteville have renewed their interest in Scout work Meetings are again being held once a week and all Scouts are etriving to make the Fayetteville troop better than ever -before. The troop has appointed a new assist ant Scoutmaster to assist Scoutmaster Byrd in the work. This is .Mr. A. M. Bowen of the high school faeulty. The troop enjoyed a hike and "sup per out” about tfro weeks ago. The Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmast er together with the greater part of the troop hiked to Flint river where a big camp fire was made and supper was cooked. After supper the boys played games, toasted marshmallows, and about nine o’clock hiked back to town. The Scouts have secured a room for their meetings in the Hollingsworth building. The boys have cleaned and decorated their room. The citizens of the town are invited to visit -this room and see what their boys are doing. City’s Average Need of Water. American hydraulic engineer^, In planning for a water snpply under the present conditions, calculate upon the basis of a daily consumption of 100 gallons per capita, with provisions te meet an increased demand tn the near future. For ordinary domestic pur- poses i the requirements average twen ty gallons per capita. HIGH LIGHTS ON HIGHWAYS The Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agricul ture states that there are enough motor vehicles in the United States to take the entire population for a ride at one time. How climate affects the highway- working season is shown by the fact that grading can be done on 100 days of the yeaf- in western Oregon, 110 in Maine, 260 in Maryland, and 300 in several of the Southern states. Federal-aid roads placed under con struction in September amounted to 1,189 miles. At the beginning of 1922 there were 4.2 motor vehicles for each mile of road in the United States. From 19 to 35 per cent per hour is the range of wages for common labor on Federal-aid roads east of the Rocky Mountains, with few exceptions, where as high as 43 cents is paid. One hundred an& twenty vehicles a minute was the rate at which motor vehicles passed an observing station on a trunk-line highway in Massachusetts, according to/ the BuYeau of Public Roads of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. This rate was kept up from noon to 10 p. m. Recently a tourist in passing through four States was required to buy four different sets of lenses in order that his headlights would comply with State laws. More uniformity in highway regulation is needed. High School Wins The Fourth Straight In a close hard-fouglit and exciting basketball game Fayetteville defeated Star High school on Friday, November 24. Fayetteville had the advantage in the first half and scored seven points to Star High’s two. In the second half Star High came back strong and would have won but for Fayetteville’s early- lead. In the last minute of the game with Star High leading by one point Evans made a shot from mid-court which) put Fayetteville in the lead. The game ended with the score 9 to S in favor of Fayetteville. Line up and score was as follows: Star High— R. F. Couch L. F. Estep (2) C. Smith (4) R. G. Morgan L. G. McLean (2) Fayetteville— R. F. Beadles (2) L. F. Travis (5) C. Lewis R. G. Evans (2) L. G. Travis Travis at guard played a very good game for Fayetteville. For Star High, Smith and McLean played well. Sometimes we speed the parting guest in hope that he will burn his bridge behind him. "The Blues.” This phrase, descriptive of moods of depression or melancholy, has an in teresting origin. It was formerly be lieved that working with Indigo dyes caused tits of melancholy, as the chem ical worked on the system through the skin. As the dyers were nearly nl- ways stained blue in r s of their bodies, the phrase came into current use to express low spirits or moodi ness.
