Wright, of the Extension Department of the South Carolina University, was the chief speaker He delivered a very pleasing and instructive address, tak' ing as his main line of thought the lessons we as a people are learning and will learn, and some of the bene fits which will come to the na tion as a result of the war. His ad dress was well reecived. The asso ciation then proceeded to a discussion of some matters of public interest. It was unanimously decided to have the usual field (lay in April, and a program committee was selected to get up a suitable program. It was de cided, however, that the day be con verted into a patriotic rally day for our people, and the boys and girls es pecially. The schools will assemble at the graded school building and march to the court house, headed by a band playing patriotic music. A suit able program, to consist of patriotic songs, extracts and quotations for concert, and the delivery of a ringing patriotic speech by some one capable of instructng our boys and girls, along that line will then be delivered. After dinner, which will be served in the usual manner, there will be match games- of basketball, baseba", etc. The association then decided to make the effort this week to complete the work for the governm< 't of card ing or indexing the occupational cards as requested. All teachers have been asked to help with this work. Yet on ly a few have responded. The organization of our schools as members of the Junior Red Cross was then taken up.
