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.

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. THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., AUGUST 14, 1925 Your_Health By ANDREW F. CURRIER, M.D. 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. ((c) by George Matthew Adami ) 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 tain town, was about to make his first official journey through the place.

She i died In the year 88, in the twenty- ; third year of her life, and was deified by her brother, Caligula, who built temples in her honor.

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. 74 Gibson-Mercer 0 18 > • Toccoa 0 39 Braselton 0 7 Gainesville 20 39 Royston 0 18 Easley 7 7 Athens 25 6 Lavonia 0 6 LaGrange 70 214 Opp. 122 • * * 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.

The season's record follows: H. H. S.

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. The season’s record follows: | H. H.

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. '■ ■ ■ The Cow-Tree In Colombia there Is a tree known as t?ie cow-tree.
