WHO SENT THE ROSE?
Mrs. Henry Odum
I dug the earth that was warm
and fresh
And the Spring wind cooled my
face,
I think that God must have been
close by
As I dug in my garden space.
i planted a rose with infinite care,
And the heavens dripped pearls of
•dew,
I prayer, “Oh God,” I have done
my best
And the rest I must leave to
You.”
The days passed by, I waited near
And it came, the fragile thing,
A perfect rose of loveliness
Fulfilling dreams of spring!
A yellow bloom, stately, proud
The bud held a regal pose,
I did the work and waited there
And God bestowed the rose!
ROSES
This is the time of the year
when we should become “rose
conscious,” as effort put forth now
will yield amazing results in the
blooming season. Roses can still
be put out until the first of April,
though December is the best
month in our section. Two year
No. 1 budded stock should be
bought from a reliable nursery
man.
Plant the roses deep, being care
ful to cbver them up to the graft
ed stem. The soil should be one
half red caly, one fourth good top
soil and one fourth well rotted
manure. Plant them two feet
apart each way in the bed and
in a well drained location, where
they get full sun.
As soon as the leaves begin to
form in the spring, spray with
Bordeaux mixture and do this sev
eral times, two or three weeks
apart. Then when buds form,
dust with Massey Dust, and con
tinue this every three weeks all
through the blooming season, put
ting it on early in the morning
while the dew is on the plants.
Roses need feeding after every
heavy blooming spell and again
in January. For this Needing,
bank a shovel full of well-rotted
manure around each plant.
Roses should not be pruned be
for the middle of March and this
should be done with a sharp prun
ing knife, being careful to cut
the stems diagonally. Prune them

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
OVERDONE?
There is no discounting the
value of vocational training in
present-day civilization. Let us
not, however, blind ourselves to
the fact that it is a double-edged
weapon which can subtract from
as well as add to a child’s later
usefulness as an individual and a
citizen.
One of the chief aims of the in
telligent parent is to help his
child to find himself by encourag
ing his ability to think, to act and
to create. No child should be
permitted to devote all his time
and energy to any specialized field
to the exclusion of art, literature,
music and other cultural subjects
necessary for a well-rounded
adulthood. It is up to the parents
to instill an appreciation of these
things in the early formative
years when the child’s character is
plastic, so that he may grow up
without conscious effort into the
kind of many-sided personality
the world so admires
We are completely in accord
with the views on this subject ex
pressed by Dr. Holland Thompson,
who, as editor of The Book of
Knowledge for over a quarter of
a century, has had a hand in rais
ing millions of youngsters. The
word “success,” said Dr. Thomp
son, “used to mean the ability to
make money. Today it has a far
more comprehensive meaning:
The power to make money, plus
the knack of making friends, the
ability to love work and play with
equal enthusiasm, and the qualifi
cation to talk about books and art
as well as baseball and business.
No matter how skilled a crafts
man he may be, the man who is
unfamiliar with the arts and with
the problems of his fellow man
has small place in the life of to
day. The founder of the Chatau-
very far back and remove all the
dead canes.
If roses are cultivated frequently
and deep, they will seldom re
quire watering.
ESSIE J. CALLAWAY.
LANGUAGE OF ROSES
Mrs. Henry Odum
I know God's mind must have
been divine
When He fashioned each flower
that grows;
For there is no language half so
sweet
As the message of the rose!
The yellow rose is the maiden’s
heart,
The red—lover’s adoration;
The pink rose is the heart of a
child
The dearest in creation.
The white rose stands for mother
hood,
All Holy, sacred deeds embrace,
I know the fairest will be found
Entwined around the throne of
Grace!

smartly when he said: ‘If I had
a son who wanted to become a

college. No one can be a black

The world is full of misplaced
people. With current trends indi
cating that the age of specializa
tion is giving way to an empha
sis on all-around development,
parents should see that young
people, in their preparation for
life, should have more than one
string in their bow.
Caution vs. Fear
Mrs. E. T. W.: My small
daughter of seven is now al
lowed to go to school alone.
Should I warn her of kidnap
pers, sexual perverts and other
undesirables, or is she too young
and will it frighten or disillusion
her?
You certainly have to arm her
with a little awareness of possible j
dangers. A few simple rules
never to accompany a stranger,
for any reason whatever, never to
go into a strange house or a motor
car, and so on, can be explained
to build caution and self-confi
dence rather than fear. But let
her know how very few such peo
ple there are, so she will not lose
faith in human nature. You can
state that one cannot tell them
by appearances, so that it is safest
to put all strangers under the ban.
At the same time, tell her to trust
the policeman if she is troubled
by anyone.

Press Advertising
Lauded by Banker
“Newspaper advertising should
constitute the backbone of a trust
institution advertising program,” |
according to Towner Phelan, assist
ant vice-president of the St. Louis,
Mo., Union Trust Company.
Speaxing before the Midwinter
Trust conference of the American
Bankers’ Association, he said:
“Newspaper advertising will reach
the entire public; it. will tend to
build and maintain the background
of public confidence which is the
foundation of trust business.’’
Georgia bankers attending the
conference were F. W. Blalock,
executive vice-president of Fulton
National Bank of Atlanta; James
C. Shelor and L. L. McCullough of
the Trust Company of Georgia; W.

The P.-T. A. of the Washington
Street. School held a very inspiring'
ind profitable meeting on Tuesday!
evening. Each officer and indomitable member j
seem to possess that
spirit of helpfulness, in that she
has pledged her whole-hearted sup-!
port to the school and its program.
Plans are being formed to take care
of the undernourished small boys
and girls, thereby seeing that the
physical side of the child will re
ceive attention as well as the edu
cational.
On February 28. the Association
presents, “Belles of the Gay Nine
ties.’’ The parents and friends de
serve much credit for the very fine
way in which they are responding
to the call of their boys and girls,
for which the faculty is very grate
ful.
On Saturday, March 11th. all city
and county teachers rre expected to
meet at the Washington Street
School to formulate plans for “Field
Day" which will be featured by all
schools of the County. Each teach
er is urged to be present so that we 1
may be able to present to our boys
and girls a great recreational pro
gram.
It Ls very necessary that we all
attend this meeting for it is here
that the state representatives, Mr. I
Cousins and others, will give to us
that information we so much need
for the present set up, the new cur
riculum in particular, which is so
vital for our success as modern ;
teachers.
