FOR THE BELGIANS.
Miss Jane Evans, of Florence, visited
Abbeville last week in interest ol
the South Carolina Belgian Reliel
Commission. After a conference with
several ladies of the city a Woman's
auxiliary to the commission was formed.
The Association is designed to be a
permanent organiaztion until the
'war is over." and plans are being
made to institute ways by which every
one can contribute to this' worthy
lause" without over-burden.
A house-to-house canvas of the
:ewn was made by a committee, asking
the women of Abbeville for their
membership. Nearly every woman in
:own cheerfully gave their name and
promised to help in such ways as
ivould be possible.
Tne plan or ttie commiuee is 10 as*
Tor small but constant contributions,
in order that a steady supply may be
3cnt to Belgium. Food and clothing In
my amount will be acceptable. Women
in the^county will be asked to help
In this cause. Contributions ol! home
canned stuff, meal, flour, etc., are desirable
and the committee will accept
butter, eggs and chickens; these to be
sold and the proceeds conyerted into
non-perishable goods.
While the South is indeed in dire
straights, conditions here are not sc
desperate as those in Belgium, and
every one should help in some waj
however email.
Meeting of Teachers.
I The teachers of the County held their
second regular meeting at the Couit House
. Saturday.
, Fortj or more teachers were present and
, were eithusiastic as to plans, etc., about
: the work, the Field Day program and oth,
er mattare.
Dr... McCain, professor of English at
Ersklne College, made a very able address,
using fcr his subject, "TheGreat; Teacheh"
The teacher who was absent was most unfortunate
in not being able to hear DrMcCain.
Mrs. W. 0. Cromer spoke brieflj' about
Tomato Clubs, and aroused Interest among
the teachers along this line of work. Mrs.
Cromer hopes to have a Tomato Club Organized
in each school, so if you are interested,
write her at Abbeville.
By a unanimous vote it was decided to
hold a Field Day at Abbeville sometime in
April. The President will appoint the various
committees, whose namee will appear
#in the County papers soon. The
rules will be changed somewhat, sa that
the. one-teacher school may have letter
chances to win. Jfow, let every teacher,
parent and child begin at once to maltehls
the banner school. - . . ;
A resolution favoring Compulsory'Education
was passed by the Association, imd
copies will be sent to the Abbeville County
members of the General Assembly.
Because of the serious road condltfrms
many teachers could not be present Ao
would have been, under more favorable
conditions.
Out of the one hundred teachers In Ihe
County, considerably more than half ha ve
joined. We hope that every one will join
before the April I'eld Day. Bend ycur
name and twenty-five (25) cents membership
fee to J. L. Grler, Secretary, Due
West. Only members of the Association
will be eligible to enter the Field Day Contest.
So send in .your name, and name of
school, if ybu have not already joined the
Association.
Upon receiving" a hearty invitation, it
was decided to hold the next meeting at
j)ue went on Saturday, Marcn etn.
Every teacher should be present, its a
vory Interesting and strong program Is
gotten up for the Due West meeting.
. After seeing the splendid spirit that:prevailed
among the teachers, we believe that
Abbeville County has lone of the best Associations
in the State.
Certainly the teachers are taking a great
deal of interest in the their profession.
Since this County is one of the very few
paying; cash?to teachers, naturally the
County will be able to retain these teachers.
J^r. Editor, whoop up the Field Day!
We know tnat the city of Abbeville will do
her part. Teacher.
