The first day or two after tho Christmas holidays may bo spout in review work,
second ami third grades may write about "How I Spent Christmas'' and like subjects.
The January calendar may be made on cardboard or blackboard showing a snow scene.
Let thc children paste on dark or light circles of paper to represent the cloudy and fair days
Take up the study of the home-showing now the good resulting from the Fall pro
parafions for Winter. First stud)r Child home, beginnig with a study of time. Teach thc
clock song. How to tell time, days, weeks, months, eic. Then take up winter clothing and
food. For review compare our homes with Indian and Eskimo homes. After this study the
winter homes and foods of animals and birds. (?ood stories in connection with this study are
"Why the Boar Sleeps all Winter," "Why the Robin's Breast is lied" and "Why tho Pine
stays Green through the Winter."
The primary grades may help in the preparations for Lee's Birthday by arranging thc
sand table scene. Make paper soldiers, some on horseback and some standing; also paper
tents and (lags. The scene may bc arranged showing the Federal and Confederate armies in
linc for battle. General Lee on his war horse, Traveler, maybe at the head of the Confederates.
INTERMEDIATE GRADES.
The larger pupils may take up the study of winter homes on a larger scale. Composition
subject, "How Nature Prepares for Winter." The following poems may be studied and re
produced : "The First Snow Fall," "Snowbound" and the description of Winter from the
"Vision of Sir Lau nf al."
"Whichever way the wind doth blow,
Some heart, is glad to have it so ;
Then blow it cast, or blow it west,
Tho wind that blows, that, wind is best."-Mason.
If thc teacher likes she may have this entire poem memorized.
The follow ing is a suggestive program for the exercises on Lee's Birthday. All tho pupils
in the school may take part in it :
The pupils of the school may by each subscribing a few pennies buy a nice picture of Lee.
lt may be bought from the Perry Picture Co., of Walden, Mass., for seventy-five cents. The
teacher may have tho picture framed and hung, covered w ith a cheese cloth curtain. On tho
evening of the 19th have the unveiling exercises.

Hampton, Hoc. 29.-Mary Jen
kins, an aged nurse, was shot and in
stantly killed by Richard Peoples, a

of age, and beloved by the white peo
ple of that, community on account of
her occupation.
An Inquest was held at Fumina on

day, he waived his rtglit to a hearing
and was bound over to tho Circuit
Court. He was bulged In jail at
Hampton late yesterday afternoon,
Counsel has been employed both for
the defendant and to assist the solic
itor.
'Dangerous Proposition.
Heston, Dec. 28.-National prohi
bition is a dangerous proposition,
said former President Wm. H. Taft,
speaking before the Hoston Uar Asso
ciation's triennial banquet to-night.
"lt would revolutionize the na
tional government," he said. "lt
would put on the shoulders of the
government the duty of sweeping the
doorsteps of every home In the land.
If national prohibition legislation is
passed local government would be
destroyed. And if you destroy lo
cal government you destroy ono of
tho things which go to mako for a
healthy condition of tho national
govern mont.
"National prohibition is non-en
forceable; lt is a confession on the
part of the State governments of Ina
bility to control and regulate their
own special business and duty; if
tho matter wore placed under Fede
ral control it would result In creation
of a machinery of government olh
calls large enough to nominate any
l.et the People Declare War.
Washington, Dec. ?10.-Senatoi
Owens yesterday proposed a constlt i
tiona] amendment making aggressive
warfare by the United States poss
? '.de only on approval by a majority c
the voters. The President's pow?
j to call troops to resist invasion woul

offensive war would have to be sui
mitted to a referendum.
