MOUNT ZION NEWS The Study Center for the teachers of Fairfield county met at the Com munity House in Winnsboro on Sat u1iay morning November the 4th. About forty teachers were present. _?'iz Dessie Poag, of Winthrop Col lege, who will conduct the course in methods was present. After Miss Poag's recitation, the teachers ad iourned to go to the mass meeting of citizens called for, discussion of roads foi Fairfield county. There are sixty seven teachers in SFairfield county. What a force these educated men and women could ex n. Meeting every two weeks as they (1o, they should take note of cur rent affairs in the county. Teachers are, or ought to be, leaders in their communities. The Study center could be made a clearing house for ideas. each teacher carrying back to his community what he gets by contact with his fellows. The attendance last Saturday was! by far the largest yet had. Forty out of sixty seven was a pretty good per centage. Nothing would increase the confidence of the people in those who teach their children than earnest, faithful attendance on these teacher's meetings. Mr. Average American sees a great deal more than he is giv en credit for. He knows pretty well who is giving value received and is a tolerable judge of evidence. The Fourth Grade is a bit vain over getting all the visitors-but their van ity is the kind worth while, the brand marked "self respect". The teachers of the county use the fourth grade room for their Akeetings every two weeks. The flower boxes, pot plants, autumn leaves, and "hallowe'en dec orations last Saturday were much not iced and admired. Mt. Zion's foot-ball team sufferel overwhelming defeat at Fort Mill last Friday. The team offered no alibi. They were simply beaten. But a de feat is a small thing provided a good hard clean fight was put up. In fact a good beating is sometimes desirable. Every man who tries to do anything in this world must learn to meet dis appointment and keep his fighting I spirit. It is not defeat that matters. It is how a man takes it. Nothing tests "gameness" so much as a defeat. The fellow who car lose, and smile, and try again is the man who wmli finally win. "Are we down-hearted"? INO! ; The girls are practicing hard for basket ball. The interest is high. We will put out a good team and we expect Winnsboro to back it up. i We hear occasionally from the ;boys and girls of last year's class. All of them seem to be making good. Mt. Zion expects-and has a right to. expect good reports of them. Why is it that Alumni of Colleges seem so willing to help their Alma maters and never seem to think of ~their graded schools and high schools ? Which does most for a man or woman, 2the college that keepsl..im four years. -or the public school that keeps him eleven ? The institution that teaches him his "A B C's " or the one that gives him his A. B. degree. Which as a rule, needs his support most keenly ? We may be heretic, but we incline to the side of the pubik schools. We think decidedly that th: Alumni and Alumn-ae of the Colleges of South Carolina should think, if not less of their Alma maters least a little more of the institutions that made it possible for them to go tc Icollege. After all is not education the art ofbeing sincere ? Be the man God made you. Don't put on airs! Don't show off! Don't be a "smart Alec! Learn once for all that you can't fool the old world. You may get away with a blnff for a while, but it will fail in the end. And now abideth these three things' A clear head, a fearless heart, anid -a willing hand-a head to think, a heart to dare, and a hand to do. RADIO RALF Go WAsN YouR ACE .

Feelings "Some time ago, I was very irreplar ," writes Mrs. Cora Robie, of Pikeville, Ky. "I suffered a great deal, and knew I must do something for this condition. I suffered mostly with my back and a weakness in my limbs. I would havedread ful headaches. I had hot flashes and very queer feelings, and oh, how my head hurt! I read of GAIU Th Woman's Tonifi and of others, who seemed to have the same troubles I had, being benefited, so I began to use it. I found it most bene ficial.
