Commencement exercises of the
I City Schools were begun on

i by the pupils of Mis. F. W.

lie recital was well attended and the
umc pupils rendered selections credible
t<> their teachers and school.
He music department during the

and the public school music had
uch to add to the entertainment and
moral school spirit. Miss Bunkley
id Mrs. Chapman will be with this

graduates, delivered by President
arUale Campbell of Coker college,
;> one of the most beautiful liter y
addresses ever delivered at com HBenremc/it
in Camden.
^ ^ While the enrollment for the city
Hr/iools did not increase materially
ver that of the previous year, the
verage attendance figures show that
Hhe average daily attendance ap^fcroarhed
fifty more per day during
y926-1927 than for the previous year.
J'his reflects credit upon the faculty
Band school authorities because regliilar
attendance is necessary for successful
school work.
The superintendent of schools,
J. G. Richards, Jr., expresses the
opinion that the past year's successful
work is largely due to the corps
of teachers. "I wish to take this opportunity
to thank the patrons of the
school for their co-operation and the
I teachers for their earnest and painsIt
aking work during the past year,
land to state that the success has
nost largely been due to the personnel
of the faculty," said Mr. Richards
Tuesday. He wishes also to express
is deep appreciation ofvthe wonder
ul set of silver goblets recently presented
by the faculty and students of
She city schools.
I The summer school for grammer
Bfrade students who failed on one or
Bwo subjects will be run from Mon-'
Bay, June 13, for six weeks. The
Bchoid will be held in the old building (
Bn Laurens street and will be under'
Bke direction o$ L. \V. McFadden,
Bj:v L. T. Mills, and Mrs. S. C. Tay-1
r. Notices will be sent out to all [
^^PtucJents who will be expected to take
^Phe summer work. No other pro- j
vision will be made for passing off
BNiis work, other than the summer
H?chool except the entrance examin- j
ation which will be required of those
who do not attend. Students will
have a far better chance to pass the
work off in summer school than by

Summer school will also be run for
high school students who fail on sub
jects averaging not less than 65 per
cent per subject. Notices will also be
I Rent to high school students who will

hgmber Im's Columbia Forced Down
Within an Hour of Berlin
Berlin. June <> America's second '
ureal trans Atlantic flight ended to- '
i*y at Hot thus, 27 miles southeast of
Berlin, when the BeHanca plane. < ol- '
tunbia, landed on the marshy ground !
i?t the Village of Klinge. j
The propellor of the plane was ,
Token in the forced landing, which
' J|k made shortly before noon, by ,
Jkrence D. Chamborlin, the pilot, and '
rif companion, Charles A. Uvinc
CJath
escaped injury.
The Columbia was located by one i,
?f the Lufthansa scouting planes from 'J
1 empelhofer, Berlin, at the moment I,
I'hamberlin was making his forced ' |
landing in the marshy meadow.
I
" I (
Housing Welcome in Berlin ,
Berlin, June 7.?Convoyed by fif-ji
teen Gorman planes, the deafening!
roar of whose motors rould hardly fj
compete with the hoarse "hoehs" of
the loO.OOO enthusiastic spectators j
gathered in and around Tempelhofer j
airdrome, Clarence D. Chamberlin and
Charles A. Levine finally descended!
upon Berlin in their Bellanca plane, I
Columbia, this evening.
It was a real welcome for the delayed
airmen. The fact that the1
people of Berlin suffered a great disappointment
Monday morning, when .
the pane was expected, had nothing
to do with the greeting given to the
Americans when they arrived. I
Crowds many times as large us had '
made the pilgrimage to the field the
previous day spent all afternoon in'
picnic fashion and spirited scanning
of the sky for a glimpse of the
( olumbta. 1 he watchers crowded the
airdrome to its capacity and lined up
many rows deep along the fence inclosing
the immense field.
Yesterday's anxiety gave place to
Happy confidence. The drowsy lassitude
of those who had kept vigil all
night turned to joyousness, and wan
expressions gave way to laughing
faces.
A touch of carnival was added when
aboUi > (i clock a brass band in gaudy
flaming red Hussar uniforms, with
gilded drapery,1 marched on to the
ground and played American and German
airs alternately. As on the day
before, Berlin s huskiest and smartest
police were on duty, keeping perfect
order, though in their zealous efficiency
sometimes causing annoyance
to guests, such as the staffs of the
American embassy and consulate, foreign
diplomats and higher officials of
the German and Prussian govern-1
ments, by frequent scrutiny of their
admission cards.
Excitement reached fever pitch'
when the loud siren, which announces
the arrival and departure of all the
Lufthansa's aerial trains, gave three
sonorous blasts, signifying that the
air police on Templehofer conning
tower had sighted the Columbia.
Eager eyes, in thousands of cases aided
by powerful binoculars, were
strained to the eastward where, in the !
blue later afternoon sky small specks i
became visible. Nearer and nearer i
they approached; bigger and bigger,'
they grew rapidly, until even the !
naked eye could pick out the yellowwinged
Columbia. 1
As the American plane, with its
honor guard of German planes, majestically
soared over Te/npelhofer
field, the crowd broke into wild
cheers, waving American an^l German
flags, clapping hands and throwing
htfts in the air.
The Bellanca plane, which everybody
imagined, because jt~crossed the
ocean, must be enormously large,
seemed tiny among its larger German
brothers, then for a few minutes
the machines were out of sight again,
for they flew over the city, to give the
watching thousands there a chance
to see the historic craft.
The air fleet reappeared and made
a big loop over the airdrome, then
slowly descended, the Columbia striking
the ground at 5:51. The crowd
I tried Vainly to rush the police, but
j even the invited guests were not perI
knitted to penetrate the inner circle
thrown around the Columbia, within
which only the official welcoming
party was admitted.
Amid deafening hunahs and hoehs
the Transatlantic fliers stepped out
of the machine. The American ambassador,
Jacob Gould Schurman,
warmly clasped their hands. Then
the German minister of economics,
j Horr C urtius, who espec ially dwelt on
the cul.ural value of the Columbia's
expedition, thanked the airmen for
placing this new boundary mark ol
human ability on German <soil anc
carving it indelibly on Gormar
Vfc-* i , .
! hearts."
Burgomaster Scholz felicitated
j them rr "courageous sailors of the air
and conquerors of the ocean."
Ambassador Schurman then we'^
corned the aviators in formal words.
.; He hailed them as messengers of good
" will and friendship from the American
people to the German people and ir.I
vited them to be his guests at the
i American embassy.

Versary sale. The Leader was estab- ^

Fryers Now Ready
Messrs. Moseley and Gaskins who 1
have gone into the poultry business '
on quite an extensive scale tell us ,
that they now have something like <
five hundred fryeis to place on the '
local market. They are selling off
nearly all of the cockerels and some '
of the pullets, but are keeping most ,
of thi' pullets for laying purposes <
another season. They are also selling '
off quite a number of their older Irfns
that have quit laying. Nearly all of |
their stock is disposed of locally.

on North Lyttleton street has been
