MANY DISTINCT ADVANTAGES ARE OFFERED BY HARTWELL SCHOOLS
FEW SCHOOLS IN THIS SECTION
OF STATE CAN COMPARE WITH
HARTWELL SYSTEM IN THE
ADVANTAGES OFFERED
It is always conceded that every
high school offers a well arranged
literary course which any student
may pursue with both pleasure and
profit. The Hartwell High School
offers such a course.
The following advantages, how
ever, are not always found in many
high schools:
Laboratories and Shop*.
The modern high school that is
meeting the demands of the twen
tieth century is not so much a place
where the student goes to READ
ABOUT THINGS as it as a place
where the student goes TO DO
things. To meet these demands
Hartwel has erected a commodious
High School building which contains
adequate provisions for laboratories
Tor all branches of High School
science, including chemistry, physics,
biology, domestic science, as well as
shops for vocational work.
The work done in these depart
ments during the past year was sec
ond to none in the State and the com
ing year will find the shops and
laboratories in even better condition
than last year.
Athletic*.
Nothing will develop a young per
son physically, quicken his judgment,
and train the ethical mind more ac
curately and justly than will athle
tics conducted on a high plane. Hart
well High School will offer whole
some athletics to her students in
football, basketball, baseball, etc.,
gymnasium, skating and drills in
physical culture.
Girls, as well as boys will have op
portunity to share in this work under
the leadership of trained instructors.
This work will be made secondary to
literary work and students who are
deficient in more than one subject
will be barred from athletic contests
until the delciencies are removed.
Last year Hartwell made the best
showing in athletic contests of any
school in North Georgia. This year
with a new athletic field as large and
as up-to-date as any college field in
the South and with the enthusiasm
and support of the students and men
and women of the town which is al
ready manifest, Hartwell High
School promises a record in athletics
comparable to the best in the state.
Household Arts.
Household economy and home ad
ministration is not the simple propo
sition that it was in the days of our
grandmothers. Modern conditions
and tendencies are fast undermining
the American home. No school is
doing its duty by the community
which does not offer scientific in
struction in home making. In line
with this universal practice through
out the county, the Hartwell High
School is offering training in this
department second to none.
Health Very Important.
Believing that healthy living is an
essential factor in right living Hart
well Schools will have a full time
nurse and physical director. It will
be the policy o fthe school to teach
health and have the child form
correct health habits. Many children
do poor work in school because of I
physical defects which might be eas
ily remedied. The school through its
nurse and the home through the
family physicians will endeavor to
discover and correct such defects so
that the child may be able to achieve
its maximum and develop into the
best and most useful citizen.
Literary Societie*.
No department of school work is
more beneficial to a pupil nor is there
one that has a more practical bear
ing on after life than does that of
the live active literary society. Hart
well High School boasts of two live
literary societies, the Maxonians and
Victorians, both full of “pep” and
enthusiasm. The quarterly contests
between these two societies and the
annual contests at commencement
arouse interest and enthusiasm not
only among the pupils but among
parents and friends as well. Prac
tically every person in the community I
becomes a partisan striving by all,

Teacher Training Course.
Under the plan outlined by the
| State Department of Education for
Teacher Training Classes in High
| Schools, a graduate of Hartwell High
' School may receive a Provisional
High School Certificate good for
teaching anywhere in Georgia and
renewable in the same way as any
other license. This plan is fully
outlined in the Georgia Maunal for
Teachers. Young people who ex
pect to teach will do well to inves-.
tigate this plan and arrange their
work accordingly.
Twelve certificates were awarded
in this branch last year. The work
I done in the department was excellent
i and it is hoped that next year the
i course will be of interest to a greater
number and that the work done will
be even better.
Library.
No High School is considered wor
thy of the name and will not be con
sidered accredited until it has a com
modious library of well selected
books of reference, standard litera
ture, and all of the best magazines,
where the student may do research
work as well as keep himself inform
ed as to the current happenings of
the day. The Hartwell High School
is equipped with such a library which
will not only prove an inspiration to
her students but a source of plea
sure and profit to her patrons as
well.
Two thousand volumes occupy
the shelves and forty standard maga
zines adorn the tables of the read
ing room. Each child in the high
school is required to spend one period
each day reading and studying in
the library.
Visual Education.
It has been demonstrated that an
impression reaching the brain
through the eye is seventy times as
strong as one reaching it through the
ear. This discovery together with
the moving picture is destined to
revolutionize teaching. A great
many progressive schools have al
ready made provisions for visual
instruction and to be abreast of the
best the Hartwell High School is
being equipped with facilities for in
struction in this way.

THREAD WORMS
*T'HESE troublesome parasites. a)s<
I called, pin worms or seat worms
or awl worms on account of the awl
shaped caudal extremity, occur occa
sionally in adults and frequently in
young children.
They are small, round, and white,
occasionally In clumps or bunches, and
found in the large intestine or the
lower part of the small intestine.
By preference they choose the lowei
end of the large Intestine or rectum
for their residence.
They are occasionally found in the
stomach and have been observed in
i tire month, probably reaching it with
the vomited contents of the stomach.
They are lively and active and fre
quently crawl from the rectum to the
adjacent skin, sometimes appearing
upon a child's clothing.
The female lays many eggs which
must be swallowed by man or animal;
they do not develop outside the body
Within two weeks after the eggs
I reach the intestine they become full
i grown worms, not easily destroyed,
. and migrate toward the rectum.
> . The mature females then lay their
■ I eggs, which may he passed out of the
body or remain and become a new
colony of worms, this process continu
ing indefinitely unless they are ex
pelled and exterminated.
The eggs are taken into the body
with food or water or by means of in
fected hands.
There is no difficulty in detecting
' either the worms or thq eggs, the ever
i present symptom being intense itch
i ing which is very sleep-disturbing.
Other symptoms are irritability, and
fretfulness, burning pain, restlessness,
disturbance of the functions of the
bowels and bladder, loss of appetite
and anemia.
It is not unusual for sensitive chi]
dren who suffer with thread worms to
| have convulsions or St. Vitus dance.
No uncooked or partly cooked food
! should be allowed; the child’s nails
should he kept short; and the fingers
must he frequently moistened with an
infusion of quassia.
Castor oil, senna or epsotn salts
may he given at night, but not in ex
cessive doses.
Every morning, or every other morn
ing, for two or three weeks, if neces
sary, an enema should he given
through a rubber tube or catheter
which has been carefully introduced
four or five Inches into the bowel.
A pint of warm water, or soap and
water, or boric acid solution, may first
he used to cleanse the rectum, this be
ing followed by half a pint of 1 to 10,-
000 solution of bichloride of mercury.
Another excellent enema is an infu
sion of quassia, two ounces of quassia
chips being boiled in a pint of water.
Other enemas frequently used are
solutions of carbolic acid; turpentine;
vinegar: sulphur, etc., but those which
have been mentioned will usually be
found efficient If employed carefullj
and insistently.

o
Onion Given Its Due
It was an onion and not Sutter’s
i mill that started the gold rush In
California. California historians say
that it was Francisco Lopez who dis
covered the ‘‘gold-bearing onion” in
March, 1841. He had stopped to eat
lunch under a tree, when, spotting a
wild onion, he pulled it up, only to
find several pieces of gold clinging to
the roots. The find was made In the
Feliciano canyon and the San Fernando
placers in that vicinity are said to j
have produced >5,000,000 In placer
gold for Los Angeles county alone.
The KI Dorado rush did not come
about until 1849.
Spoiled Mayor’s Triumph
The newly elected mayor of a cer

official journey through the place. The
townspeople had arranged that from .
an arch of flowers under which he .
was to pass a floral crown should
I hang, surmounted by the words: “He
well deserves it.” But the wind blew
! away the crown, and when the
pompous mayor passed under the arch,
to the great Joy of those who bad
voted against him, only a rope with a
noose at the end of it dangled there !
with “He well deserves it” standing

Review of Hartwell High’s
By GEO. S. CLARK, JR.
1924- 25 Sport Activities
Under the flying colors of Hartwell High last year nineteen games
were won and fourteen lost by the teams of H. H. S. in the three ma
jor sports—the victories coming in bunches and the defeats in a like
manner.
The basketball and football teams
j were entirely successful in their in
vasions but not so with the baseball
squad. In nine football games dur
ing the ’24 season six were chalked
up as victories for the local team as
against three defeats—-in basketball
nine games were placed in the ‘‘won’’
column while three were written on
the opposite side of the ledger. In
baseball a complete reversal of form
was true as Hartwell High’s diamond
aggregation was able to win only '
four games out of twelve starts.
Football.
At the beginning of bootball prac-1
| tice prospects were not any too 1
| bright but as practice days went by j
i and preliminary games with weak
I rival elevens were chalked up there
! was some thought of a championship
j grid team. Out of the eight regular
' ly scheduled games two were lost—
i one each to Athens and Gainesville.
Another game was played, resulting
in an overwhelming victory for the
opposition; the squad went down to
LaGrange for its‘first intersectional
game and returned with the small
end of a 70-6 score.
The season’s record follows:
H. H. S. Opp.

Basketball.
After the football season had come ’
and gone and basketball time rolled j
around prospects for a real honest
to-goodness basketball quintet were
very gloomy, not a one of the pre
vious year’s stars returning for an
other season—but, lo and behold, if
the basketball boys didn’t make a bet
ter record than the football squad.
Twelve games—including one tour
nament game—were contested during
the season and out of that number
nine resulted in victories for Hart
well High’s basketeers—three were
defeats. Hopes were high, expecta
tions many, as the boys in the squad
packed their few basketball “duds”
and went over to Athens for the
Northeast Georgia Basketball Tour
nament, and many fans throughout
the Northern section of the state
picked Hartwell to win the champion
ship. In the very first game of the
Hasty Buying Not a
Fault of East Indians
American salesmen, trained to high
pressure and quick-result methods,
meet with puzzling experiences when
selling in India, where men and wom
en appear to be huntlug always for
an excuse for delaying a decision to
a future date, says a writer in the
Ohio State Journal.
A New York trained motor sales
man learned that fact when he tried
to sell a handsome motor to a man of
wealth in Delhi. There had been some
reductions made public In the price
and the salesman assured the man of
wealth there could be no more reduc
tions for at least a year, using that
statement for the purpose of closing
the sale. It did not bring that result,
the contemplative resident there mere
! ly smiling and saying he planned a
vacation for a year and would look I
over the cars on his return.
Important Agreement
The Webster-Ashburton treaty was
a treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, negotiated by Dan
iel Webster and Lord Alexander Bar
ing Ashburton In August, 1842. By
this treaty the frontier line between
the state of Maine and Canada was I
definitely agreed to. By tins treaty. 1
also, seven-twelfths of the disputed
ground and the British settlement of
Madagaska were given to the United
States and only five-twelfths of the
ground to Great Britain, but it secured
a better military frontier to Canada
and included heights commanding the
St. Lawrence, which the award of the
king of Holland, who had been chosen
arbiter, had assigned to the Americans.
By the eighth and ninth articles pro
visions were made for putting an end
to the African slave trade, and the
tenth article provides for the mutual
extradition of suspected criminals.
Early Monetary Panics
The first smnll panic of the United
States occurred In 1791 following the
boom in business after the close of
the Revolutionary war, and due to I
overspeculation in the securities
of the new government and in the
stock of the newly organized banks
The first great commercial crisis was
precipitated by the War of 1812, fol
lowed by the capture of the city of '
Washington by the British on August ,
24, 1814.

Baseball
But where the H. H. S. teams fell
down during the 1924-25 season was
in basebail; an almost complete down
fall was experienced in the “national
pastime” games. Out of the twelve
games played eight were losses while
only four went down on the records
as victories for the local nine.
Just why it was that Hartwell High
lost more games than she won might
be attributed to the fact that it was
not until late in the season that the
pitchers began hurling a winning
brand of ball. It is a matter of spec
ulation, however, why so many games
were lost for out on the diamond the
boys played fine ball and at the
bat enough hits and runs were earn
ed to win most any ball game. In
only three games w r ere the scores of
the local team lower than five and
| many are the times that the figures
I reached the sevens and eights—and,
' goodness knows, those are enough
: runs to bring victory to a team with
I even mediocre pitching. But, fate was
destined to play a big role in the
affairs of the Hartwell High 1925
team, so she had it whereas H. H. S.
would lose more games than she
would win.

Absurdity of Man
Really, when it comes to glory there
Is no limit to the absurdity of man.
A man will glory In a disease, a vice,
the wealth of an ancestor when he is
himself poor or the poverty of an an
cestor when he Is himself rich; the
street In which he lives; the color of
his hair, of his eyes; the possession
of something which he picked up In
the street —even the abuse of some
one more notorious than himself. Men
will glory in anything, just as the
famine-struck will eat anything. Such
Is the appetite for glory. And why
Is It there? I say again, to make men
achieve, to make them write bad verse,
build hideous houses, put up Impossi
ble monuments, pass bad laws, and Ln
general destroy their kind. —Hlliare
Belloc in the New Statesman.
Telegraph Terrified Many
When Prof. Samuel F. B. Morse, in
ventor of the practical telegraph in
strument and code, first put them into
practice In 1845 many intelligent citi
zens were actually terrified. Some of
the more skeptical spoke of him as
being in league with the devil. The
first message sent over the line that
had been constructed for the practical
i tryout was: ’‘What hath God
■ wrought I” Morse was a painter, and
not an electrician, but he combined
the principles and devices that elec
trical scientists had produced up to
that time and in that way won credit
for the idea. He met with great op
position In getting the Idea accepted.

as t?ie cow-tree. It is treated much
as we treat a cow, or, this vegetable
cow Is bled; rather, its veins are cut.
that Is to say, the bark of the tree is
incised. Immediately the lartferous
vessels thus bisected yield an abun
dant flow of white liquid which as
regards its appearance, taste and nour
ishing properties hardly differs from
ordinary milk. Evaporated by gentle
heat, this vegetable milk yields a de
lightful sort of marzpan with a slight
ly aromatic odor. —From the Wonder
