BOUND TO SUCCEED' PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION 1 ORGANIZED WITH SPLENDID c ENTHUSIASM. 1 s r (Proper-Gander.) * Friday afternoon, October 3rd, 1 nineteen nineteen, is destined to * become a red letter epoch in the his- * tory of the Abbeville City Schools, c for at that time and date a flourishing organization of the Parent- ? Teacher Association took place in the j ' High School building. Superintendent j 1 Fulp, temporary chairman of the j t meeting, outlined the purposes and i plans of the embryonic organization t and was ably assisted by Rev. Mr. i Pratt of the Presbyterian church and by Dr. Daniel of the Methodist t church. S After it was ascertained that the 50-odd ladies present were heartily t in favor of organizing and were will- S ing to accept offices, chairmanships f nr +n rln ?nv other S VI tVIUillibVWWO V* W -W ?y work which they may be called upon 11 to do, election of officers took place p and the following ladies will hold of- f fices for the present school year: t President, Mrs. Amos B. Morse; vice- t president, Miss May Robertson; sec- l retary, Miss Annie Margaret Hill; a treasurer, Mrs. C. C. Gambrell. v The president will announce in a t few days her selection of standing ? committees and she wishes to say fi that she hopes any whom she may t select will accept the committee work willingly and that they will work for n the best interests of the association, p The membership committee, particu- c larlv. has no time to spare in getting | ii to earnest work for 'numbers' is the 1 one thing most desired by the asso- c ciation just at present. s The charter members of the asso- i ciation feel that the purpose of the ( organization should, alone, place it high above trivial considerations of c class and sectarian prejudices?and that it should bring all patrons and -/ friends of the schools of this city <!j together upon a common place of in- !| terest in the welfare of the children. !;< Moderate dues were assessed?twenty-five cents a year?to be paid as a|;jj privilege rather than by compulsion, <jj The time of meeting was decided . . for the third Tuesday afternoons in :) Ll 1 J IL_ il. l 1 S ine caieimar muntns, uie exact nourp to be announced later. It is hoped jjj that every friend of the school will <j ring this date on their calendars and ! i x see that no social functions are 11 planned for these afternoons. The next meeting, Tuesday afterfloon, October 21st., will be devoted *8 ? 9t the problems arising in jjj tilf primary department of the ;|; schools, that is, in the first three ;!; grades. A part of the program will j|; b? devoted to songs, speeches, exhi- # bition of work, eW.* by irepwsenta- jjj tives of these three grades. Mothers lj; who have children in other grades on?y, however, will find much of intercst to them too in the program. [[' The fathers are urged to become g honorary members of the association !;!; i*hich they may Ha by paying yearly [[' rines of 50c. to the treasurer or any member of the membership commit-;;!: tee and they are cordially invited to attend all meetings. jj; Superintendent Fulp is now organ- ][[ izing an association among the pa- jj! trons of the Mill School. |i|; Will You Spend 50c.

Hospital. j < CHEAPNESS OF EDUCATION. One of the most hopeful signs in tducation s the growing recognition >y the public of the wastefulness of :heap education. Poor education is ilmost worse than none, an J the cornnunity that compromises with its ihildren by paying the person who s responsible for their training less ;han enough to keep body and soul ogether usually gets about what it leserves. "Underpaid people are the most ixpensive," remarks the Strasburg (Va.) News in an editorial which the Richmond Virginian considers "so ;imely and so applicable to conditions n a large number of Virginia counts and cities that we take pleasure n printing it." The Virginia editor says, in words hat are applicable to many other States besides Virginia: "It is absolutely a waste of money o put poor teachers in the classroom. !a mii/tfo mnnoTT mirrVif oc nroll Ka >oured into a hole. With all due repect to any people who might have >een bearing the cross of the underbid teacher, a person who will work or an average of $27 per month in hese times surely lacks the ambition hat ought to be standing before our toys and girls day in and day out s an emample of success. We don't rant anything but the real robust ype of doers to be the teachers of >ur children, and it is a mistake to 11 the schoolroom with anything but he best trained. "Again, it is absolutely a waste of noney to operate the schools in a larsimonious manner. The average ost of educating) high-school pupils s in this county $37.07 per year. ?he average cost of high-school eduation as listed for the average high chool of the United States as given n the report of United States School Commissioner Philander P.

In Los Angeles and i Milwaukee and Denver and St. Louis and New Orleans and other great centers that have risen to exemplary , heights in education, the cost of edu- . j eating each child per year in the high school is about $125. This ' shows that Shenandoah County is 3 far in the rear of educational expen- < diture. And it means that she will , have or is having poor schools. "You can't expect a man to stay in Woodstock or Strasburg and be the j ihead of the schools and get $100 per month for his labor. Every man equipped for such work has at least made an educational investment in himself amounting to $3,500 or $5 000. to sav nothincr of the 6 or 8 I years of his most virile manhood lie gave. ' Furthermore, the county wants to pay a girl $27 per month the year round and then thinks she is losing interest ,in her work unless she goes to a summer school to keep in the pink of teaching condition. It 1 surely develops ingenuity among the 1 teaching force to try to make both ( ends meet, for no one but a wizard ' could accomplish such a feat. 1 "Furthermore, underpaid people ! are the most expensive. Make teach- * ing a lucrative position and there will ' come to it an army of interested, ' zealous people, instead of a troop of * people who are just eoine to teach to * fill in with their farming or to kill ' time from the high-school graduation ' until marriage."?School Life. ! '\ "These Rats Wouldn't Eat My Best 1 Grain/' Says Fred Lamb. 1 It's hard to keep rats out of a feed store. Tried for years.'A neighboring store sold me some RAT-SNAP. It 1 worked wonders.

The purpose of Mr. Rhodes was, no doubt, to make friends for England in the event of a conflict such as the world has just passed through. How much England benefited by these scholarships is not the present subject of inquiry. Until 1919 candidates for the Rhodes' scholaijships were required to pass an examination on Latin, Greek and mathematics for entrance I*a OvfnrH TVio onnliponf mnaf Iiqtta at least gone through the sophomore class. In the present year the requirements for admission have been taken off for American Btudents and selection to be made by a committee composed of former scholars, with }ne member as chairman from one }f the leading institutions in the sev- * *ral States. Four points are to be " considered by the committee in making the selection, given in this order: Scholarship, character, leadership, atheletic record. The committee will hold an examination to determine bhe appointee, if it is deemed ne * 3sary. Every institution having less than 1,000 students is entitled to re? sentatives before the committee * selection. The successful candidate will leave ior uxiora in January, iyzu, to stay three years. He will receive 300 pounds, nearly $1,500 a year. Owing to increased costs he will have to spend in addition to this sum about $300 a year. .
