The legislature at its first session in 1903 established in the South Carolina college forty one normal scholarships, and at its next session doubled the number of these scholarships, making two from each county. This was to provide a new class, but as not all of the hold overs will return, there will doubtless be as many as sixty new scholarships awarded this summer, one in every county and two to a county in many instances. Any person interested should wiite President Benjamin Sloan or Prof. Patterson Wardlaw. Columbia, S. C. Each of these scholarships pays $40 in money toward living expenses, and exempts the holder from a fee of Si8, which is exacted of all other students, and also exempts from the tuition fee of $40. which, however, is remitted to any student who makes proof of in ability to pay it. It admits a man entirely free and pays about half of his board. This munificence of the state is designed, primarily to provide better teachers for the county schools, but incidentally it aids poor but worthy young men to ebtain a college education and fit themselves for higher things in life. In order that the scholarships shall go to this class of young men and not be gob bled up by young fellows who could get to college without the scholar ships, the awards are not made solely with reference to the marks on the examination, and men nineteen years of age and over are given the prefer ence. This gives an opportunity to the country young man, whose tech nical preparation may be far less than that of the fifteen-year-old grad uate of a town graded school. but whose maturity and earnestness are a guaranty that when given an op portunity to study in college he will pull through and make a man of him self. Preference is still further given to young men who have taught school. It is often the case that a young man in the country, although with poor preparation, attempts to teach the neighborhood school. For his own. sake and for the sake of the schools he ought to be given a better education before he becomes settled in a life of inferior work. Hence the spcial effort of the authorities of the South Carolina college is to induce young men teachers who are ill pre pared for their work to stop now and go to college while they can. The scholarship men last year w ere o.f the * average age of 22 1-3 years. and the oldest was 33. It is hoped that such young men, having already developed some taste' for teaching. and going to college with a definite pu:rpose, will 'adhere to teaching as their profes sion. If the beneniciaries of these scholarships were differently- selected. a larger proportion of them woulid do as college men so often do. turn their -backs on the country forever and become professional men in towns and cities. But where they have pre viously committed themselves to pub lic school work, and then stop and -go to college with the ideal of fit ting themselves for better work in that line, there is strong probability that for the most part they will re turn to country schoolteaching-a re sult which will richly repay the state for its liberal policy in providing for their training as teachers. Each year better salaries are being paid in the country schools, and for several years there have been in sev eral counties country schools which college-bred men of high reputation are proud to teach. The simplicity. freedom and beauty of country life. and the growing advantages, with tel ephones, mail deliveries, and li .braries, have peculiar charms for the scholar and the thinker. The present indications are that within this dec ade country schoolteaching in South Carolina-so long held in disrepute will be recognized as a choice pro fession. Already six to nine hun dred dollars a year, with little expense of living, is not an infrequent salary. Professor Wardlaw's men readily find desirable places, and the demand for such men increases each year. The course of study is specially de signed to improve the public schools. Last year it included, besides the usual subjects, special instruction in pedagogics, physics, nature study, and drawing, and the course for next year has been enlarged and improved and will include sight singing. The stu dents had the benefit of observation and practice under a critic teacher, and next session will practice teach ing in the Columbia public schools, having the benefit of the supervision and criticisms of Columbia's 'iest teachers. The better to impress the school spirit and arouse the young men to a sense of the dignity and magnitude of their profession, there will be a series of lectures by leading school superintendents and principals. Thus this body of young teachers will com bine theory and practice in their stud ies, and every two or three weeks will be stimulated by a special message from some notable educator fresh from daily contact with the practical problems of the schoolroom. It is thus that the college is seek ing to extcute the wise plan of the legislature for improving the common schools of the state and raising the standard of citizenship. Assembling within her walls and at the seat of state government annually eighty-two young men teachers from the forty one counties of the state, inspiring and broadening them by contact with students from all sections of the state and all spheres of life, strengthening their state pride and their unity of spirit with the best traditions of the state, the South Carolina college will teach them how to study and how to live, and how to teach, and will leave upon them her mark as men and gen tlemen. J. Ogden Armour was talking to a group of New York reporters about the butchers' strike. "When the butchers have trouble," said one of the reporters, "is it true Mr. Armour. that the public pays?" The meat millionaire laughed. "Oh. not necessarily." he answered. "Sometime, though." he went on, "the public pays when the butcher gets in trouble. For instance: - "A butcher had cut off some meat that had been paid for and was car rying it in from the street to his pa tron's kitchen. "No sooner did he enter the yard, however, than a big, black dog pinned him to the wall. There he stood, ter rorstricken, until the mistress of the house appeared. "'Here, Hero, behave,' she said. "The dog sneaked off, and the wo man asked the butcher if he had been bitten. "'Has Hero,' she inquired. 'hurt you at all?' "'No.' he replied. 'I kept him off by giving him your chops, and you just arrived in time to save your steak." What is DR. JAMES' IRON BLOOD AND LIVER TONIC? Dr. James' Iron Blood and Liver Tonic is a true tonic and blood food medicine. It increases the appetite, strengthens the whole system. by causing the most important organs of the human body to perform their proper functions. First, iron is a n'ormal constituent of the blodd; pure blood contains iron. If you are pale, weak and nervous, you need a tonic which contains iron in a form that will be absorbed by the system and enter the blood. Dr. James' Tron Blood and Liver Tonic supplies the proper amount. Now, the largest most important organ of the human body must be looked after-the liver. A torpid liver means impure blood. a bad complexion, and a dull eye and brain: so you can see the great nie cessity of an fetive, healthy liver. The moment your liver fails to act every organ suffers. Your stomach and digestive organs become~ affect ed. The gates of the citadel of life are thrown wide open, and diseases of every description attack the body. Dr. James' Iron Blood and Liver Tonic contains a laxative drug, which acts on the liver, relieving billious ness and cures chronic constipation. We go still further, and we find when a person is suffering from constipa tion almost invariably their digestion is poor, the food fails to nourish and strengthen. Dr. James' Iron Blood and Liver Tonic cures indigestion and dyspepsia. It causes the food you eat to assimilate, and the process of digestion is again active. Nine-tenths of our people suffer from indigestion At the Amateur Journalists' con vention in Baltimore, a Philadelphian said of James M. Beck, who is one of the association's most distinguished members: "When we had our convention in Philadelphia. Mr. Beck was the life of it. He'kept the table in a roar. In rVrcee it was impossible to get the better of him. "At one time he was talking about fishing. "The best day's sport I ever had,' he said. 'was off the Florida coast. There were three of us. we each had three rods, and all day long we pulled in fish as fast as we could throw out our lines. I forget,' he added thoughtfully. 'what kind of fish they were-' " 'Perhaps they were whales,' some one suggested. " 'Whales!' said Mr. Beck. 'Why man, we were baiting with whales.' " SPECTACLES .
