TKACIIKK8 AND FUPIL8 Discipline Fliea When They Come To He Pals Not Jon# the grand jury of Spurtunburg county delivered ? very positive opinion on the employment of flapper-looking, flapper mannered, flapper-behaving teachers in the public kchpohKwrite? M?y. H. H. Croaland, in the Fee (Bcnriettsville) Advocate. Tfk?ro is one item they] should have emphasized which they left out entirely, arid that is the joy riding of teachers with high school boys. No matter how charitable in your judgments you may be, you can not defend a teacher who goes a boo' socially with high achool boys, especially if she joy rides at night with them. There's been an awful lot of bunk worked off on the public about the teachers and the. children being "pals." The "pal relation" is the death of discipline, and when discipline dies, you may just as well close the school. It is not a natural thing for a woman of school teaching age to enjoy the society or the company of high school boys, she is supposed to have some poise, some maturity, which qualities we do not expect to find in school 'boys. It has a very harmful effect on a boy when a frivolous, older woman chooses to play . ' around with him; 'Such an nssociufcion mature* his mind too rapidly, and in no time ho thinks he is a man, when he has none of the judgment a man is supposed , to have. A midnight ride brought glory and fame to Paul Revere but to a school teacher it brings nothing hul a "hang over" the next morning, causing her to do shabby, sorry work at the expense of the Children in her charge and the tax paying public in general. Fortunately, the joy riding teacher is exception and not. the rule, but those exceptions do a lot of harm. Probably, there are ton teachers who arc thoughtful, conscientious and high toned to every one that is u fluffyhended flapper, 'but that does not minimize the harm done by the flapper who ought to be cast out of the school without hesitation or ceremony. Esspecially is this true if she has an undue fondness for such youthful males as have good automobiles and parents indulgent enough to buy unlimited gasoline.

Too early pasturing is costly?it will cut milk production, pull down the condition of your cows, and damage the pasture itself. By all means use your pasture when it's ready, but right now your best bet is Larro. < SPRINGS.* SHANNON, (Inc.) Camden, S. C. ? i i . I I ?fer:
