The pastor will preach on the

show us that in regard to many
of the real serious subjects of life divine
judgment is the reverse of human
judgment, and we sometimes be

of Isaiah God says, "My thoughts are
not your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways. For as the heav-ens
are higher than the earth, so are my
ways higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts." No

Clinton Chronicle, 5th.
The address to the graduates "was
delivered by Dr. D. D. Wallace, professor
of History and Economies, of
Woffprd college. He chose as his
subject, "Education for Citizenship."
The speaker spoke at length along the
lines of general education in all the
walks of life, pointing out its import
ance, after which he narrowed aown
to the keynote thought of his address
?that education makes a good citizen.
He showed how the duty is placed
upon every people and State educate
its citizens. Said the speaker,
take away ten thousand of the brightest
minds from our country; men
who can see ahead and conceive, who
can organize and put their ideas into
operation, and you reduce our people
to a perfect state of intellectual
paralysis He spoke of the education
condition in the Southland, and then
bringing closer home, within our own
State, "which today stands fifth to
bottom in educational progress, giving
only three dollars per capita to
the people. He made an earnest appeal
for a more varied and systematic
system of education in South Carolina.
His address Wcis concluded
with a glowing tribute to democracy
and its father, and an earnest appeal j
that the people of this State awaken,
and go forward, and take their place
among the ranks with other States
and nations that have adopted a
compulsory educational system.
His address was a most excellent
and masterly one, and was thoroughly
enjoyed by the large audience with
which he was greeted.

A conversation relating to the face

He was reminded, he said of a man

who once bough c a jug of whisky, and
not wanting to carry it around with
him, decided tc leave it at the corner
grocery until he should be ready to go
home.
In order that the jug might be prop- j
erly identified, the man took a deck of |
cards from his pocket, extracted the
six of spades, wrote his name upon it,
and attached it to the handle of the j
jug. This done, he happily rambled j
forth, leaving the jug on the end of j
l-he counter.
Two hours later the mountaineer re-;
turned, and great was his consterna-;
tion, as well as eloquence, to find that
his jug of electrified spirits had faded j
away.

A SCHOLARLY ADDRESS.
Delivered by Prof. (has. ?. Kent
Tuesday Evening in Opera
House.
? * " 1 1 ? I^AAtinut' C An! Q_
Tiie aaaress 10 me mcciai?
ties of Newberry college, was delivered
Tuesday evening in the opera
house by Prof. Chas. W. Kent, Ph.D.,
of the University o? Virginia. The
address was scholarly and delivered
with force and effect by the distinguished
speaker.
A synopsis would scarcely do the
speaker justice, and only a brief outline
is given. Professor Kent was
presented by Professor E. B. Setzler,
of Xewberrv college, who did post
graduate work at the University of
Virginia.
After responding to the introduction
and paying a tribute of friendship to
Newberry college and its representatives
wi:li whom he had been familiar,
Dr. Kent announced as his theme,
"Educational Efficiency versus Education
Display."
He gave a resume of the reports
made by the masters of Oxford colleges
with reference to the Rhodes
scholars from the United States and
then supplemented this indictment by
showing that very n^uch the same
conclusions had been reached by the
German investigation of our education
in America. The counts in the
joint indictment are that American
education does not lead to thoroughness
and accuracy; that it'does not
result in adequate mental discipline;
that it fails to create in the student
the willingness and ability to assay
the long and difficult task; and that
it does not inspire the student with a
fervent zeal and ardent enthusiasm for
learning.
After commenting fully on these
charges the speaker contended that
the effort to meet this indictment on
the part of the college by different
iating the course that led to college
from'those that led to business was
an error for exactly the same kind of
training, th'ough not necessarily in
the same branches, was needed for
the prospective scholai and the prospective
man of affairs. The business
man desires of the vyoung man that
enters his employ (1) willingness and
ability to learn, (2) personal interest
and zest in. his work, (3) thoroughness
ana accuracy in the assigned task,
(4) and energy and industry in the
prosecution of a task, h'owever long
or difficult, until it is finished.
The college professor desires of
the student coming under his care, (1)
thoroughness and accurary in the
studies hitherto pursued, and the
spirit of thoroughness and accurary
in all work undertaken, (2) mental
discipline, 'or the training and command
of all the mental powers, (3)
power of sustained attention to difficult
and disagreeable task, (4) enthusiasm,
or vibrant and vital interest
in the new tasks, that shall give
n 70?t onH rlalicrht tn rmrsiiit
After insisting that in essence the
training for college and business is
one and that- the requirements of each
are just what in the judgment of foreign
critics we are not getting, Dr.
Kent raised the pertinent question
why we were not finding in our educational
system just what wre ougLt
to expect to get out of it?
His answer was in substance as fol1
XI l 11 1 1. _ C XT ~ ?1 ~ ~
lows, mat uie lacit ui LLiuiuuguuesa
and acc^racf is due to the inherent
restlessness of American life which
unless controlled leads to fickleness,
variableness, and superficiality; to
our desire for visible, tangible results
marked in education by promotions,
diplomas, graduations and public notice;
to inherent haste with its accompaniments
of short cuts time sav<v
AtrinAf r?r< V\t?Or?lr?r\ nr

ideals.
He closed by pointing out that it
was still possible, perhaps more
readily in the small college than elsewhere
to settle down to calm, quiet,
unhurried but uninterrupted and
thorough work, particularly if the
college is willing to forego -extensiveness
for intensiveness and set itself
unflinchingly to undertake nothing
more than it can do faithfully and
fully. This means, especially where
the college is crammed for means and
impoverished In equipment a loyal
devotion on the part of students, faculty,
and alumni born of hardship
and therefore a willingness to attack
dull and hard problems with a certain
joy of conquest It means, in fine, to
count display of no avail in comparison
with efficiency; and popular acclaim
of no worth compared with permanent
results.

These speeches all struck the key MH
note for more interest in their alma flj
mater and for cooperation with the V
president and faculty in helping to
build up the college. Dr. Thos. H.
Dreher acted as toastmaster and fulfilled
the duties of the position with .
dignity and tact, and in fact, made an /
ideal presiding officer. Professor A.
J. Bowers, who -was on the programme
to respond to Alma Mater?Restrospec- .
