A SPLENDID TALK
ON EDUCATION.
B\ si>ecial request of the Woman's
History Club, of Kingston. Mrs. Nellie
I’eters Black has written for them the
talk on Education which she gave the
negroes of Calhoun and we are glad
to re-produce it as there are others
who will doubtless be glad to read it.
The subject of education says Mrs.
Black is one which has gone through
many plr se- in the last fifty or one
himd. e l years. A: first it was deemed
absol, 1 necessary for a boy or a
girl wlr dedied a thorough educa
tion ■ u’y Latin. Greek and higher
mat c oil-, hen followed literature
and more geie.al information. After
I ibis, Froebel gave to the world the
* idea of takii g the young chi and into the
| 1 (TT: lit and woods to teach lessons
[through the eves and hands. Then fol
lowed the introduction of manual
training, cooking, dress, making, hat
trimming, housekeeping for the girls—
carpentering, .shoe making, brick lay
ing for the boys—and now, we find
‘ vocational training” is the most pop
ular of all methods. This seems to be
a combining of all the methods that
have gone before with the ultimate
aim ito make each boy or girl who
braves school so proficient in some
branch of work that a living wage may
be obtained at once as the reward for
their years of preparation.
The skeptic may say, ‘‘anybody can
learn how to make a living without
going to school at all,” but it is a
question of “efficiency” which enters
into every phase of life these days,
the knowing what to do and the rea
son why. The application of rules that
were discovered by Aristotle, by
Demosthener, by Plate, by Tubal Cain,
aid later, by Franklin Newton, and l>y
cur own Edison, will enable a man to
earn from five to itwenty times as
much money as an ordinary, uneducat
ed workman, no matter how indus
ttious he may be. ,
We have in our own state an illus
tration of the value of vocational
Gaining in the opportunity offered to
the bays and girls, both white and
black, in the school of Technology, the
State Normal Colleges, and Agricul
tural schools and the Industrial school
for negroes at Savannah.
The girl or boy who is sent to
school by parents who make every
sacrifice^to give them a chance in life,
should take to heart the lesson that
today is all that really belongs to us;
yesterday is gone; tomorrow may
never come and with each hour comes
a lesson which if well learned will
make the next lesson that comes -o
much the easier.
And for the teacher we will say—
ure the methods so wisely taught by
that grand man Froebel. Take the
children with you for a morning* in
the woods, teach them the flowers and
trees by name; the notes and habits
of the birds. Oi>en their eyes to na
ture's wonderful secrets and by so do
ing they will feel a kinship with the
-everyday things of life which they
never felt before. When you tell them
that the ordinary earth-worm as it
bores a hole in the ground and carries
leaves with it for a bed is nature’s
first plowman; the wasp with his gray
nesit the first paper maker and the
ordinary dirt dawber, our first mason,
each of these doing what God created
them to do; then the bees and squir
rels teaching us conservation, how to
get ready for winter by storing up
plenty of food while the sunshine
keeps the frost away, each child will
learn a lesson never to be forgotten.
There are a thousand things to learn
of earth and sky and sea. which will,
it we stduy aright, make us under
stand the wonderful words o* the
Bible.
The heavens declare the glory of
God and the firmament showeth His
handiwork.
“Day unto day uttereth speech and
right unto night showeth knowledge.”
“There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.”
“Their lure is gone out through all
the earth aniTTheir words to the end
of the world.”
Such is true education, to have an
understanding heart and a mind open
to receive all new things, with faith
in God and love for our brother-mart
as the foundation of true character
building.

YOUR OLD CLOTHES
“ROOF” THE SOLDIERS.
Did you ever imagine that the old
suit you discarded may go ihto a roof
over your husband's, or brother’s, or
son s head in one of Uncle Sam's can
tonments where the new soldiers are
in training?
The high-grade asphalt roofing <
which our government experts have]
chosen to roof the sixteen big canton- !
rnents is what manufacturers call a !
‘‘by-product” roof. Its base is a thick,
soft felt made of old rags, and these
rags come from tons and Uns of our
last winter's c’o.hiny thu have oeen
collected and made hit roofing felt.
This information will sit prise many
people, who may still have in mind the
old-time “papi r rootling” or "tar pa
per.” or the later so-called “rubber”
’•oofing; hut these are largely bygone-.
The modern roU roofing is made of
soft, pliable felt which is atumted
with several times its own weight of
blended asphalts. Thus asphalt has be
come the established econo m product
fot overhead as f r under wheels, in
preference to wood, tar or metal.
A writer in the Saturday Evening
Post, Mary Roberts Rinehart, recently
mentioned the extreme discomfort ex
perienced by some of the Officers Re
serve Corps men under metal roofs in
the older cantonments during the sum
mer. The cooler, non-conducting as
phalt has brought about much more
comfortable conditions in the hot
southern camps, and it also keeps the
interiors warmer in the extreme cold
up north, whore other camps are lo
cated.
“Byproducts" are (playing a big part
in this war. The Germans have car
ried the idea farther than any other
nation. For fighting purposes they
liave followed the plan of using “ev
erything but the squeal.” Uncle Sam
is not far behind them in conservation
now, and is learning more right along.
In the case of the asphalt roofing, for
instance, few people realize how far
the economy hunt has gone. In addi
tion to the fact that Uncle Sam’s buy
ers and builders found this roof quick
and easy to lay, low in maintenance
cost, long-lived, water-proof and
weather-proof, fire-retardant, and V>th
er things a good roof should be, it was
pointed out that as asphaP roofing
came in compact rolls it would save
space in freight cars!—-and also that
it would conserve lumber, which is
hard to get for shingles especially.
How many households look into
their purchases as carefully as Uncle
Sam does? With him, losses great or
small cannot be tolerated, because in
the aggregate the leakage of supplies
and money would lie simply stagger
ing. When you consider the number
and size of the cantonment —a small
city, each of them, the millions of
square feet of roof needed, the money
saved in selecting a durable asphalt
roofing is important.
Next time you go to visit “your sol
dier” at his cantonment, look at the
roof and remember that your old
clothes ;may be doing their mite to
‘•protect” him.
YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to Dry
Up a Corn or Callus so it Lifts
off With Finqers.
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied directly
cn a tender, aching horn or callus,
s’ops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callus loosens so it
car- be lifted out. root and all, without
pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi
tively take off every hard or soft corn
or call ms. Tbi should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and Is said not be irri
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn’t any freezone
tell lijm to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. It is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time.—(advt.)
