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

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.

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

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.

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.

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. Gathered up dead 1
rats every morning. Bought more
RAT-SNAP. Haven't a rat now. 1
They wouldn't eat my best grain 1
when I threw RAT-SNAP around." <

RHODES SCHOLARSHIP
OPEN NEXT YEAR
Cecil Rhodes, who added vast territory
in South Africa to the British
Empire, left a score of years ago a
large sum to the University of Ox
ford to establish scholarships in several
countries, among them, Canada
and the United States, for the purpose
of defraying the expenses of a
number of young men from these
countries at that institution. 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

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.
