Among those entering school this week are Quillian and Thom as Scales and Ben O’Brien. We are always glad to get the new' boys. The continuous growth in enrollment speaks for the advan tages offered by the school. The boys are preparing to play i the B lord Basket Bail Team next Friday on the Buford Court. The boys are anxious for the game and w hope to defend our selves creditably on this occasion We wish to call attention to the compulsory school law and ask that the patrons save us the trou ble of making a report on their attendance. The law requires a child to attend school 120 days during the year. Keep this in mind. Only three .things that will be accepted as an excuse, viz: |Doath, serious sickness or extremely bad weather. Too much attention has been given to minor excuses in the past and our boys and girls are still grow ing up in ignorance and this law on the statute books. The history reference refer ence books for the .Library has arrived and are being used with diligence. Don’t forget us in reference to the books that you have and would aid us material ly, In the near future we expect to have published each week a list of the patrons who have paid their admission fees for the Fall Term of the school. Come on and let your name get on the Honor Roll. The new teacher, Mrs. Pierce, is now at her post of duty and is doing nicely with the work that she was intended to do. Several of our more advanced pupils are preparing to go out as teachers. This is pleasing to us but we would rather see them stay and finish their course be fore teaching- The old adage, that “the time lost in whetting yeur axe is never felt,” is true with a teacher, Several of our boys and girls are out amending the Gainesville Fair today. Those who w’ould like to make improvements on their education will make it known to the Super intendent and he will open a night school for th-ee nights a week- It is our aim to help all we can while passing this way. The faculty and students of the school are delighted to know that Ralph Brown is improving after nearly a week’s illness. Ralph is a fine boy and is very popular with the student body. The high school boys and girls will present a play in the near future. Vv e hope to have a good attendance on this occasion. The teachers of the county are welcome to visit our school at any time they are in town. We wish to co-operate with the coun ty schools in any way we can. Mrs Roy P. Otwell Entertains. Mrs. Roy P.

Home Circle Column. Pleasant Evening Reveries—A Column Dedi cated to Tired Mothers as They Join the home Circle at Evening Tide. Armistice Day has more significance today than it had m 1918. Then it meant merely the cessation of hostilities. Now we realize the horrors of war and are full of gratitude that it has ceased. The glamour and high spirit of sacrifice are gone. The pain in the hearts of many still lives. As we, at the suggestion of our president, bow in silent prayer for those who have fallen in battle, let us make a firm resolution that we of this generation will do all we can to safeguard the fu ture from another such disaster. Let us hope and strive for peace among all nations. And one of the most effective ways of doing this is to strengthen the popular distaste for war, that leaders will never dare to risk another. If the people o f all nations would realize that the highest good of all depends upon a peaceable settlementjof disputes, the leaders would find means by which narmony could be maintained. As war loses its glory, it will lose its favor and prestige, and other methods of settlement will be exhausted before carnage is re sorted to. And it is very likely that while an endeavor is being made to arbitrate, anger and hate will abate, and the disputants will be will be willing to saciifice a poinc or two in order to maintain peace. It is indeed true that “out of the mouths of babes and suck lings cometh wisdom.” The other day we happened to hear the story of a small boy who told about climbing a very steep hill. About half way up the hill the task seemed too much for him. He turned to go back but that way looked quite as dangerous as going ahead. “So,” he concluded, “I kept straight ahead for I decided it was better to fall down elimb ing than to fall down.” “It is better to fall down climbing than to climb down.” What true philosophy of life yet how long it takes most of us to learn it. That boy kept on climbing and reached the summit. Most of us could reach the summit of our troubles also if we would but keep on climbing, but instead of that we climb miserably down and hang about the foot of our Mountain of Trouble and never do achieve the other side. Let us at least attempt to make the other side. Constructive criticism is a good thing but most of us do not make our criticism constructive and we are all over crit ical. A critical habit is an easy one to make ann it grows upon us until we soon have a sharp woid of criticism for everything and everybody. Our friends soo:; begin to shun us and we cannot understand the reason, The ordinary criticism is quite useless and unnecessary anyway and unless we are in a position to know about what we are talking or feel we could do better ourselves, the best way is to keep still. It will save us a good friend perhaps, and a good disposition. At its best, winter is rather a cheerless season out of doors. For that reason we should exert ourselves to make our homes as cheerful as possible. One of the best ways to do this is to have blooming plants in the house, It’s like a tiny piece of summer held over into winter to see a window full of ge raniums or cyclmen or foliage plants. More than people real ize, it is these tiny bits of cheer that make life worth living. It is true that house plants are a bother and make consider able dirt but they more than pay for this in cheering up an otherwise dreary period. Not very long ago a passerby questioned a beggar on the street. It turned out that he had quite a surprising amount of education, “but,” he said, “I cannot find work. The world is down on me and I have lost confidence in myself.’’ That was exactly where all the trouble was—not because he couldn’t find work but because he had lost confidence in himself. Never do that. It isn’t necessary to think that your way is the best way. It isn’t necessary to be egotisti cal about it but do the best you can. You have as good a chance as the next fellow; you can do as well as he. Very well, go ahead, and with this faith in yourself you cannot be defeated. s . J* - ’* - Clothes do not make the man.
