School course.
General Elementary.
Issued to high school graduates
who, in addition to their regular
high school work, have taken the
prescribed Teacher-Training Course.
The Plan.
1. High schools desiring to qual
ify for such classes must take ap
plication on official blanks for re
cognition.
2. The high school must be a
four-year standard school. Teachers
of this course must be approved.
3. It must have a library (includ
ing at least thirty reference books
on teaching); a laboratory; courses
in home economics; and physical
training must be given.
4. Provision must be made for
practice teaching and observation.
5. There will be a uniform course
of these classes, given during the
fourth year of the High School to
occupy no less than one-fifth of the
time, with extra work on nine
Saturdays. Pupils should be at
least seventeen years of age. One
unit's credit will be allowed this
course towards graduation.
6. The work of these classes will
be supervised by the State Depart
ment; the professional work should
be taught by one of the High School
teachers, but in practice teaching,
the instructor should be assisted by
the principal of the elementary
school.
7. The final papers in the Teach
er-Training Courses should be cor
rected by the Teacher and sent to the
State Department, with the final
record of the pupil in all studies
of the High School completed for
graduation.
8. On the pupil’s completing the
high school and the teacher-training
courses, the State Department will
issue a provisional certificate to
teach in the elementary schools of
the state, good for three years. This
certificate may be converted into a
professional general elementary, as
other provisional certificates.

The Lazy Janitor
Ke a countryman on holiday In the
city was walking past a high building
he saw the following notice: "Please
ring the bell for the janitor.”
He rang the bell furiously, and the
janitor, who lived at the top of the
building, hurried down, and, out of
breath, asked the man what he
wanted.
The man pointed to the notice and
said, "Why can't you ring the bell
yourself?"
Martyr to Duty
"What makes you look so fatigued?”
was asked of an undersized Arkansas
Cltyan the other day. "Well, it’s like
this," he replied. "My wife is walk
ing to reduce, and the only time she
can do It without attracting the at
tention of the neighbors Is In the eve
ning. She then insists that I go a’.fmg.
even If I am tired. The past two
weeks I have lost eight pounds and
she has gained two ounces."—Arkan

SARDIS
***«*«**••
Words cannot express the horror
and pang of sorrow that was carried
over our phones last Tuesday when
the news reached us that Robert
Wright, one of our near neighbors,
had a collision near Starr, S. C., and
that Robert was seriously hurt. He
was rushed to Anderson County Hos
pital where everything was done that
skilled physicians could devise, but
he never regained consciousness and
died at 6:30 o’clock Thursday morn
ing. A devoted mother witnessed
the sad end of a noble son’s life, who
promised to be such a comfort to
a dear father and mother, dear wife
and two little girls.’ Funeral ser
vices were held at Sardis, Rev. T.
A. Thornton preaching a very forc
ible sermon to one of the largest
congregations ever assembled at
Sardis.
Rev. W. J. R. Simmons, of Alle
gan, Mich., preached a very inter
esting sermon at Sardis last Sunday
evening. He and Mrs. Simmons
gave us some splendid music. It is
a great gift of God to be able to
present the truths of the Bible so
forcibly, both by song and from the
pulpit. We were delighted to have
them with us.
Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Hill, of Mt.
Berry, and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hea
ton, of Macon, were guests of rela
tives and friends in this community
and attended our Sunday school last
Sunday. All gave us splendid talks
which were highly appreciated.
Mrs. Hoyt Adams, of Ridgland, S.
C., was the guest of our Sunday
school Sunday.
Mr. J. A. Sanders, of Florence, S.
C., was the guest of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. F. M. Sanders, Sunday.
Mr. C. T. Perry was the guest of
Mr. and Mrs. L. Richardson Sun
day.
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. McMullan visit
ed Atlanta last Monday.
Prof. H. H. Maddox, after spend
ing two weeks in and around Win
der with relatives and friends, re
turned home last Saturday.
Mr. Lyt Richardson, Miss Mary and
little Miss Hollis Sue attended divine
services at Cedar Creek last Satur
day and felt doubly paid by listening
to a splendid sermon from Rev. T. M.
Galphin, of Greenville, S. C., and the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. Grover Lewis.
It brought back to our mind and
memory of olden times to sit and
listen to our dear old friend, Major
Lewis, though very feeble, as he re
counted our boyhood days with a
memory bright and clear as forty
years ago. May he be spared for
much useful work in the Lord’s king
dom.
Little Miss Josephine and Frances
Herndon were the guests of little
Miss Ellen Frye.
Mrs. Daisy Brown, of Campground,
is on an extended visit to her daugh
ter, Mrs. Wista Charping, of Orr
Mill, Anderson, S. C.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Brown, of Green
ville, S. C., spent the week-end with
the former’s mother, Mrs. Sallie
Brown, at Campground.
Miss Mary Land has returned home
from a month’s stay with her cou
sin, Miss Ruby Gray, of Hickory,

Mrs. J. 0. Chapman and children

Men and Chair »
"Men are like chairs," writes a
woman In a foreign exchange; "they
▼ary In shape and size, but all can
Iba sat on. Some mtn are like mahog
i any chairs; they lose their polish
after a little while. Some are like
Chippendale chairs; they need deli
cate handling, gome are like plush
' upholstered chairs; one cannot stand
them on a hot day. Others are like
parliamentary seats, they have to
be won. Some married men are like
deck chairs; they are always being
dragged about gome are like rock
ing chairs; they put you to sleep. And
finally, some men are like benches;
It takes more than one woman to sit
on them—a wife and a mother-in-law."
Few people in India know how old
they are, having little interest in
their own age or that of others.
DOWN ON THE FARM
By W. M. BRYAN.
The Bible tells us if we sow we will
reap if we do not faint. We have
been sowing in the wrong time.
We also learn from the Good Book
that there is a time to do all things.
We are up against it. We farmers
ought to know it will do us no good
to sow oats and wheat in April, crops
won’t produce planted out of season
in this country. “We as farmers
are in our primers yet.” We need
to advance farther. We must be
gin now.
We have also learned that the sea
sons are changing. We used to have
plenty rains in summer. We don’t
have them now as we did in the
past. Let us not quit the farm yet.
Let us get up our lessons well. The
farmer could line like a king in a
rich country if he only would.
Say, boys, how would we feel if
we had plenty oats and rye to do us
a whole year, and plenty wheat? We
have just learned you can’t make
enough corn to feed your stock.
Did you not know you could make
five times as many oats with one
day’s work as you could working
corn? Oats are a sure crop, corn
is uncertain. Sow your oats in Sep
tember. They will make more oats
sown in this month without fertilizer
than sown later with fertilizer. The
open furrow system is a sure method.
One bushel per acre sown now will
make more than two bushels sown
later. Sow some rye now in Septem
ber. Early sown is more profitable.
Be ready to sow wheat in October.
We have also learned that if we have
cover crops they will enrich our
lands. Crimson clover is one of our
best land builders. Sow clovers and
vetch, etc., in September.
Sow plenty turnips and rape seed
—if you fail, keep sowing until you
get a stand. Turnips are good not
only for man, but for stock. Rape
is good for salad and fine for poul
try and stock. If you have many
stock to feed sbw from one-half to
one acre or more for feed —this is a
sure crop.

FINE WORK BEING DONE IN NEW
CITY COLORED SCHOOL PLANT
By GEO. E. ARCHIBALD
For years several efforts have
been made to reach educationally the
colored group of Hartwell. Unfor
tunately, however, a careful com
parison of results obtained and ef
forts utilized indicates that prevail
ing conditions are to a large extent
the reactions of the conception we
heretofore had of education.
The answer to the question wheth
er the education of the mass of our
group should be the mere consuming
and non-productive broadening of in
telligence or whether it should be
that in which the controlling motive
is the choice of means and methods in
preparing to render to society effi
cient service is one in which this
institution is verily concerned.
One of the predominant features
of its curriculum is the preparing of
the pupils to become useful and in
dustrious in the community, con
structive and sanitary in the home
life and to utilize and own land in
such away as to dignify farming in
particular and labor in general.
The future of the mass in our
group depends entirely upon its
centralization and the centralization
of this mass depends unquestionably
upon its attitude toward agriculture.
Realizing this, therefore, the Hart
County Training School includes in
her program, Household, Industrial
and Agricultural Education, three of
the five types of Vocational Educa
tion.
In view of this fact quite a large
per cent of our pupils have imbibed
the spirit of EARNING while
LEARNING. Our Manual Training
Course consists of, use and care of
tools, operations in planning, meas
uring, squaring and the making of
articles for personal, school and home
use. There is also simple concrete
mixing and construction, brick lay
ing and plastering. Our farm boys
are scattered throughout the county,
each having from one to five acres
of cotton as his personal project.
Every girl is considered a future
homemaker. She is therefore re
quired to do handwork in native ma
terials, the making of useful and or
namental articles for the home and
personal use, the preparation and
correct serving of plain meals, sew
ing, patching, mending, garment
making, the use and care of the sew
ing machine, simple repairing, finish
ing and staining of furniture, and
the solution of other problems per
taining to RURALISTIC CONDI
TIONS.
The Committee of Reorganization
of Secondary Education has very
properly assigned an important place
to physical education and health
training.
Society at large, is willing to ap
prove the decision. Certainly, no
Question is today receiving greater
attention at the hands of organized
reformers and social welfare workers
than this. The physician, the psy
chologist, the sociologist, the judge
of the juvenile court, the wardens
of penial institutions, the settlement
workers, the religious missionary and
many others who deal with crime,
poverty, and disease are in full ac
cord respecting the influence of a
physical health on mental ability and
moral character.
It has been shown through scien
tific studies that intelligence, social
interest and moral integrity depend
to a large extent upon the health
and physical vigor of the individual.
Physical vigor leads to a pride in
personal achievement; an interest in
social affairs; and the aspiration for
and attainment of moral courage,
mental force and integrity.
The pupil who is suffering from a
physical handicap of any sort will be
hard to reach with any force of ap
peal.
The person who is physically unfit
soon loses the mental perspective
that is necessary to carry on his
work.
Then, too, physical health is al
ways related to mental health so that
the’ one reacts upon the other and
greatly complicates the problems of
motivation.
Realizing these important facts,
provisions have been made for spe
cial health training and physical edu
cation in the Hartwell City schools.
We earnestly ask that every par
ent and pupil give their very best co
operation and support to this as well
as all of the other departments of
the schools.
Let’s make 1925-26 the banner
year in old Hartwell High.
