A N?;Y-! orrriTT to ?PP Jtf'f.ive UCW AUiCilUlU 01 ui; , w eerivice under the Stars and Stripes on the battlefields of Europe, will be efficiently officered. It is not enough that men who happen to graduate at miEtary colleges and schools apply; men with capacity for leading men are wanted?and needed. This is the last chance that those not in military eervice will have of obtaining comfflissions. State Exceeded Its Quota. " South Carolina answered the call to the first Oglethorpe camp in a spleadid manner. Some of these ap plicants were not able to attend tne ^^eamp, because South Carolina exceedher quota. It is important, for BHTihe good name of the State, that Wm South Carolina men do as well for the second Oglethorpe camp, to open AuWm gust 27. All applications must be W submitted by July 15. Those desiring tn serve their country as officers are urged to ask First Lieut. H. T. Pillans, Coas- Artillery Corps, U. S. A., the Citadel, Charleston, S. C., tr>r.the necessary application blanks, which give the required instructions and information. The War Department announces that it is particularly anxious to have the applications from the men who are between the ages of 31 and 44, as commissions as high as lieutenant coloney will be issued. This does not mean that younger men are not wanted; they are, but that the ha<? n&rticular need of mature ires. Lieutenant Pillans, the State examining officer, would be pleased to furnish desired information on request, and those desiring to apply are urged to do so immediately,'and thu9 'Prevent hurtful congestion at the last moment. / i One Hundred Dollars a Honth and Expenses. "Aocepted candidates for the officers' reserve camp will be given their transportation to and from the camp; they will be given subsistence and -uniforms; they will be paid $100 a month during the period of training. "Lieut. Pillatis reports that the response in South Carolina has been 1^?Nfclow. This is riot as it should be. Time is short and men who wish to ?ecure commissions /in the reserve corps are asked to communicate with | Lieut. Pillans without delay. "The new American army must be efficiently officered. South Carolina must not be excelled by any other stata in furnishing good officers. The War Department, for obvious reasons, desires to be in a position to select tie best available men, and this selection is practicable only through the system of officers' training camps. "The press of South Carolina is requested to use this statement in its entirety and to give other helpful jpublicity to the matter of getting men to answer this call at once. Such publicity will be in the nature of pat' riotfe service." k He K?ew. Teacher?"Johnny, can you tell me Hw -Bi'niQt ?j hvnrv>rite is?" f* UU.V W ? k /- ? ? ?- ^ Johnnv=?"Ye?, ma'am.

Washington, .July 1.?With the government making a drive for 70,000 volunteers for the regular army an-1: ! + />nn9/>rii>t<An n? j half mil-! illi litC itnivu v/i a "va.. , lion of the male population between the ages of 21 and 31, inclusive, to; start within two weeks, the bureau of education, headed bj* Dr. P. P. Clax-1 ton. has started a "drive" to protect the educational system of the United States from being undermined by the drafts that will be made upon children ' and the youth of school and college age. Dr. Claxton urges that the at- J j tendance laws in every state be es | forced to the letter during the year : and that no exception be made. He ! says that .parents should be encour j aged to make all possible efforts to j keep their children in school and should have public and private help when they can not do so without it! Many young children will lack the home care given them in times of, j peace, and there will be need of many j more kindergartens and Montessor! j schools. ; J The only way that Dr. Claxton sees : i that this end can be attained is by j i encouraging a sentiment for keeping j the attendance up to the high standard in schools and colleges. He in-; j sists that it should be increased in f , the high schools and more boys and i girls should be induced to remain un-j i til they complete their course, owing . i I to increased responsibilities that will j I come to them after the war. In or-' der to keep up the high school stand- j ard he urges the half-time attendance; i law, according to Fitchburg, Cincin- ' nati and Spartanburg, S. C., for asj j large proportion of pupils as possible i All laboratories and manual training j .shops in high schools should be kept; | going, domestic science classes should be kept up "jvith attention given to sewing for the Red Cross and charity, j ! For all boys and girls who can not | attend school in the daytime, night I schools should be opened and a gen' eral course taught as during the day( : time. I A special appeal is made to the co!i leges and universities, and the techni| cal schools, to use every effort to inI crease the number of pupils with the j | idea impressed that it is the duty of; i the student to repare himself to give I the best and fullest possible measure i <->* cervix tn his country. With the j fraction of agricultural students, only j a fraction more than one-tenth of 11 j per cent of the total number of per- j sons engaged in agriculture, the im-1 . portance of the work of agricultural! 9 ^.ools is urged, with an appeal to j i tecnnical schools to make every pre- j ! paration to induce students not of, j cmscrrpt age to remain in college the; ! coming fall. j Censored. j Litle Dick: "What are you cutting out of that paper?"

Capital is awak-j enins: to a bigger, broader, clearer j vision of human justice rather than! of petty policy. It realizes that the industiral evils of today can never he' ? i i ?ully prevented nor aaequaieiy remedied by human law, because laws are! imperfect, inadequate, and can be fought by technicalities or evaded by; cleverness. Not what capital can be; compelled to do, but what it does, on its own initiative, through a deepened sense of justice, along higher moral and ethical lines, is to smooth out some of the unjust inequalities in life,! to give a fairer chance to all for bet-. I fer living and for freer individual de-' opment. That is no mere theory Gi what might be; it is the quiet gentle spirit of the finer equity, as a dominating force, in thousands o:' the big industrial organizatlo Jt, of the country today. Competition between: Captial and Labor, where each fears! the other, is slowly giving v/ay to; confidence, conference and coopera-j tion. I The low rumblings of the protestingj discontent of Labor against what it deems injustice, and the loud booming of later actual rebellion and con-' flict manifest as a strike, may seem' j to us unjustly typical of genera.1 con-; "* ?~/\m ** aore fn <litions, ana we may auui uui bate >.^ the less obtrusive hum of concentrat-! ed forces working in royal coopera-j tion for industrial peace and harmony.! War is always advertised, while the big aggressive constructive *ork for peace has not its forces always marshalled on parade. j The good, systematic, constant ef- J fort on the part of many of the great1 corporations of the country to help men *o help themselves, has not the wide-spread publicity that it should have. Employees are encouraged for i one thing, to tliriftiness, by the privilege accorded to them to buy a certain < limited number of shares of stock of j the campany, at a price less than the market quotations. The payments carried along in installments over a number of years means no real financial strain to the buyer. As ownership begins with the first payment, accu1-4.!?

There is an increasing realization that employes cannot do their best, j nor be their best, unless they can live j comfortably in proper environment j and be free from worry of money I pressure. ! 1 Man cannot give his maximum of i service for mere fixed wages. He must have the incentive, the stimulus, the inspiration of something more, ! that speaks to him of progress, growth, development. He works for i what he receives?plus a hope. 'Capl*( tai today meeting this essential need of human nature by making that hope a reality?not a mere dream. This' i is done by piece-work, with its possi-, bilities of individual progress, but.1 giving at tne same ume iue tee of a real living wage, by prem-j iums, by bonuses, by profit-staring | and other methods. I Welfare - work means no mere grudging obedience to .narrow legal j requirements, backed by authority. 1 No legislature would dare to poit on the statute book a law, making com- J pulsory a tithe of wtfiat many hundreds i corporations are doing voluntarily.! Factory buildings are no longer grim,1 dingy, gloomy structures, but comforj table, clean, airy, sun-lighted and; j breeze-swept; in many instance? they j | are set with broad lav/ns that give - - - ?- wVirtr. tVi a wrvrlrpr i rest to iuc tjc nucu wv I raises her glance for a moment from her task. There are lunch rooms where good meals are served at cost, rest rooms, wash rooms worthy ofaso! cial club; intermission for a brief j time at stated intervals during the i day, lectures, ana evening entertaini merits that transform the factory into a social center; libraries, schools, medical attendance, vacations with full pay, and dozens of other marvels of thoughtfulness. The word "facI tory," with all its old distressing asI ?.So rar<?iv used: the SOCia-Licru?, jo , "works," or some similar term is taking its place. The financial terror of illness and death has been lessened by "sick funds'* and the fear of the unemployment of old age lighti ened by pensions for long service, j A modern factory, run in the spirit j of the finer equity, is no longer a . 4 aofiirp maximum I great cw www. v, i results with no thought of the hui I man lives, the hands and hearts of ! the workers. It has become humanizI ed, inspired by the dominating conscionusness of the newer, vital pulsing human brotherhood of employer and employed. Captial is now realizing it has responsibilities, duties and privieges of service to its employe higher than that which can be cancelled or ful ri I led by a mere pay-envelope. It. is not expressed a> a charity on part of the Capital. Charity is too often Out a poultice applied to ease the social wounds of a wrong scheme of civilization. Easing a wound does not cure. The finer equity in modern Dusiness is seeKing noi mereiy lu tuic what is wrong in the relations or* Capital and Labor when they become manifest, but to prevent them from existing at all. as preventative medicine has conquered many of the diseases of the body. The only cure for wrongs is justice?eveything else is but a palliative. a temporary stay: an interruption], not a solution. Capital is seeking, through ail the wisdom at its command ?o reach causes?not to treat results. It is earnestly seeking to attack the evils at their roots; not languidly and ineffectually to lop it off . a little in its branches. Some may say that Capital is doing this only because it pays. Even if this were true we have made long strides toward higher thinking when we realize that truth, right and justice always do pay. But there is a deeper, bigger, truer motive than this; there is a finer, moral and ethical movement that is carryiag us to better things, and Capital is realizing it. We are still some distance from the millennium but our faces are set in the right direction; we are beginning to walk more confidently along the right road in the new and better spirit of finer equity.
