Notice of Election An election wili be’ held in the City of Carlersville, Ga. on October 12th, 1917; PUR POSE, THE ADOPTION OF A NEW CHARTER for the CITY OF CARTERS VILLE, AS ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEM BLY OF 1917. W. W. DANIEL, CITY CLERK 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.

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.) NOTICE.
