C., MAY 26, 1927 8 PAGES COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT College commencement, beginning next Sunday with the annual baccalau reate sermon, is always an event of unusual interest in our community. This institution, ranking with the best In scholastic standards, holds a warm place in the hearts of our people and its presence here gives us the atmos phere of a college town which should always be preserved and appreciated. Commencement with the graduates is a red-letter day. The thirty-one- young ipen composing the senior class, whi* are soon to leave our city after a residence of four years, will doubtless cary with them pleasant recollections of their college life spent here and will always feel a deep appreciation of the courtesies shown them while in our midst. Clintonians, irrespective of denominaCon, should attend the dos ing exercises arranged especially in their honor and enter with the grad uates into the spirit of the occasion. Let us show our interest by our pres ence. and let these young men now leaving our community, carry with them not only pleasant memories of then Aina Mater, but of our city and people as well. high school graduating exercises Fri- evening there was considerable •«y w nfusion and leavnig of the building before and during the address of Dr. Granberry.

Third grade: Eloise Crow, Olive De lure be given a place on the first part j^cang, Ethel Smith, William Byars, of the program rather than at the end. This will doubtless serve to keep the large audience seated and quiet until the class exercises, placed at the close of the program, are concluded. People who do not know how to be have in public, or who refuse to do so, should stay at home. They should re member that there are many who go to such occasions to hear and enjoy the exercises, and they do not care to be disturbed. It also shows a lack of re- pe't and proper courtesy for the vis iting speaker, whoever he may be, and certainly is not calculated to leave a pleasant taste in his mouth or make him enthusiastic to come back to our city for speaking engagaments. JOINT MEETING TODAY Tne local Kiwanis and Rotary clubs are to “step out” this evening and be the guests of the Thorn well orphanage at a joint meeting. Suppper will be served in the orphanage dining room at six-thirty and a full attendance of both clubs is expected. It is quite a nice courtesy on the part of the orphanage t6 invite these chibs to be their guests, and it will he a happy occasion for the visitors to meet and mingle with the 385 bright and promising boys and giris of the institution and to J^e entertained by them. This evening's meeting will be an enjoyable event for all Kiwanians and Rotarians. THE RABBITS FOOT Some men are not ashamed to carry a rabbit’s foot for luck, while others who would like to possess one of the charms dare not carry it for fear of being ridiculed. The timid ones may be encouraged by a story that comes from Boston. A woman went a-searching for money ore night while her spouse slept the sleep of the just. She touched a rab bit’s foot and thought it was a mouse —and she hasn’t put her hands in her husband’s trousers pockets since. ]f that rabbit’s foot didn’t bring that man good luck, what else can you make of it? I TEAM-WORK PAYS The is here when our people need to band together and work to promote tho community’s interests. No big things are going to happen by chance, desirable enterprises are not going to drop here over-night, but it is only through an intelligent and united effort that we will be able to forge ahead. The sooner we learn this lesson as a city *nd as individuals, the better for us all, and the more far-reaching and valuable the results will be. Dr. Frank Crane Says— HOME*MaTTiNg"TRULY AN ART Probably more human happiness de pends upon how a home is kept than 'ipon any othe* thing. Previously our schools have devot ed little time to this important sub ject. Pupils are taught geometry, ge ography and arithmetic, they are taught logic and latin and music and all sorts of plain and ornamental in- icrmation, but not home-making. It is necessary to elevate the busi ness of home-making into an art, to get people enthusiastic about it and to impress upon the mind of youth its dignity and importance. At the State Teachers college in Pittsburg, Kansas, they have estab lished a house for the* purpose of de veloping right standards of courtesy, hospitality and social graces, etc., all necessary in the successful manage ment of a home. They have secured a house, such a one as would be used by a family of moderate means, and instruct pupils how to take care of it. They have a house manager who plans menus, does marketing, presides at the table and so on. They teach the girls how to cook, prepare food and keep the kitchen in order. Another girl assists in preparing salads, cares for the dining room and acts as waitress. Still anoth?r is called housekeeper. She dusts and keeps the house in clean order. A laundress tends to the house linen and stokes the furnace. The duties are rotated so that a stu dent gets practice in every kind of home work. (They have guests and often enter tain the president of the college and the faculty. The house is managed on a budget plan and all expenditures are limited. The records are kept in permanent form. The house is self-supporting and the students pay for room, and board. As there is no child in the house they are going to adopt a child and study child-training. Since so much depends upon the way a home is kept this sort of trainipg seems to* be sensible. Harold Carter, Bill Hall, Clark Mea dors. Fourth grade: Allan Rushdon,'Fran ces Wilbanks.

Workman of Cross Anchor, on the work of a country physician, the in troduction of a new member, George H. Cornelson, and an announcemenL that Clinton led the entire district of North and South Carolina in attend ance during the month of April, were the principal features of the regular weekly meeting of the local Rotary- club last Friday in the Mary Musgrove tea room. With the announcement that Clin ton’s official attendance score of 95.89 was higher than that of any other club in the district came a letter from the secretary of the club at Laurens congratulating the local Rotarians on their victory in the contest conducted between the two organizations, and proposing Wednesday, June 1, as the date on which the losers will* tender the winners a dinner. This date was agreed to by the local club, and in compliance with a request made by Ijiurens, plana were made for furnish ing the program at the joint dinner meeting. The official score made by the Laurens club was 89.58 per cent. The idea that country districts loqk to the towns for leadersiap, and that because they will follow whether that leadership be%oo<t or bad, it is incum bent upon town residents to go’ for ward continuously along proper roads was stressed by Dir. Workman in his address. In developing thus idea, he told ef improvements which have come about in country life duriiog the 15 years in which he has practiced in j Croa* Anchor, notable anunng which have been the elinnhation of typhoid j fever, the reduction of the mortality j rate - caused by diphtheria tfcrough the introduction of effective anti-toxins, | and" the removal of positive isolation by the construction of good roads. Briefly touching an his -early expe riences, he spoke •£ the difficulties winch attended his attempts to reach patients ten years ago, of the high j ||J death rate among children from diph- j II- theria before anti—toxins were avail-1 able, and of the ravages wbich typhoid i was responsible for before science and i an enlightened public sentiment eradi-. cated it. In the course of his remarks, he i paid a high tribute to. the late Dr. j Patton, whom he spoke of not only as | a physician whp carried the ideal of service to the nth degree but as a cit izen whose virion ami spirit resulted sweeping social improvements DRS.
