In Education in the Htate Walterboro, Juno 14.?The Grand Lodge of the Knight* of Pythias of South Carolina, recently held in Hart*ville, S. C., determined upon a course of benevolence* nevjv before heard of in the order in this state, and an m re*ult of thi* action, eight scholarship* will be awarded to needyi boy* and girl* from Pythian farailie* within thi* *tate, the *cholar*hip* to pay $ 100.00 in cash to a**i*t with the education of the winners. Scholar*hip* will be awarded thi* Hummer in time for college entry this fall. The eight scholarship* will be divided between the eight Pythian districts in the state, and may be competed for by boyij or girl*. The winners may select any standard college within the state. For years, the Pythian Order has stood for various forms of benevolences but recently these have been sought to be reduced to concrete form. At Hartsville, the retiring grand chancellor, John G. Dinkins of Manning, recommended in his annual report that a part of the per capita tax charged by the grand lodge be set aside for practical -benevolences, especially for scholarships. The grand lodge passed his recommendations, and left it to the Pythian Service commission to disburse the funds. This commission, consisting of Past Grand Chancellor John G. Dinkins, of Manning, Grand Chancellor R. M. Jefferies, of Walterboro; Grand Vice Chancellor G. W. Speer of Anderson; Grand Prelate C. A. Edwards of Columbia; Grand Keeper of Records and Heals C. I). Brown of Abbeville; J. H. Heinsohn, Jr., of Charleston, and Dr. W. A. Tripp of Easley, assisted by many loyal Past Grand Chancellors, Supreme Representatives, and members of the Grand Lodge met "in Charleston on June 2 and decided among other benevolent purposes to offer eight Pythian scholarships. Past Grand Chancellor O. J. Bond, superintendent of the Citadel; Dr. J. C. Guilds, president of Columbia college and Prof. A. G. Rembert of Wofford College will prepare questions tor a competitive examination to be held by the county boards of education on the day of the Winthrop examinations. Applications to take the examinations will he in the hands >1 the keeper (if records and seal of each subordinate lodge and these should he secured at once and filled out. The examinations wilf he returned for grading and the results certified to a special committee of the grand lodge, who will investigate same, and make the final award, based on scholarship, merit and need. None will he considered fur the M-holarships except children from Pythian families, and if a brother or father be dead, and was a member of the order at the time of death, this will entitle a child or brother or sis'.e: of such member to consideration. No scholarship will be awarded to r.e whose parents are financially able to send him or her to college. The scholarship is worth $100.00 and will be payable in installments throughout the collegiate year. The winners may select the colleges to which they wish to go, the only restriction being that they be standard colleges within South CaroI nn. Only one scholarship will be awarden to each Pythian district unless some district fails to qualify in which event the scholarship will be awarded miscellaneously over the state. Applicants may be either boys or girls. In making final awards, not only the financial ability and scholarship of the applicant will be considered but also the general merit of the applicant. The examinations will be conducted by county boards of education in the various counties on the day of the Winthrop examinations. Papers will be returned to the Cen tral Committee for grading. Application blanks to take the ex aminations must be secured from the . keeper of records and seals and filled out prior to the date of the examina tions. Only one scholarship can be award ed to each Pythian district. A pyth inn district consists of several coun ties, the following being a list of the districts and the counties embraced i within the same: ' First District?bounties of Beaufort. Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton i Dorchester and Jasper. Second District?Counties qf Flor ence, Horry. Marion, Williamsburg . -Dillon, Marlboro, Chesterfield and Darlington.

I f The president will call a special session of Congress for October, to take up the Mississippi flood disaster and the prevention question. The sooner prevention is discussed and arranged the better. The American congress and people have a great faculty for forgetting?even a two billion calamity and 700,000 people being made homeless. 4 Twice in succession, American fliers have crossed the Atlantic at one "hop," Lindbergh flying to Paris, Chamberlin, with Levine, almost to j Berlin. | What will military and naval gentlemen say now about their theory that "The airplane is no real menace to this country?" Out of two attempts to fly across the ocean by American fliers, both succeed. VV'bat would be the probable pericentage of success if five thousand i foreign aviators, with full government backing and unlimited expenditure of money, should fly the' other way on a hostile errand ? Americans should take to heart the lesson that Lindbergh and Chamberlin have taught us and get ready to keep hostile fliers away from this j continent. I Five or ten thousand first-class planes, carrying mail parcels and passengers in peace, ready to take on machine guns in war, would be the best investment this rich nation could make. Golf, according to accident insurance companies, comes third among "dangerous sports." Victims of 451 golf accidents collected insurance last year. Twelve for "cuts with sharp instruments." The instruments were bottles, on the "19th hole." However. for one man injured at golf, one hundred die for lack of exercise, >o play golf. A German scientist says your heart is less important than the billions of cells that make up your body. The heart is important, of course, but the cells, eating, drinking, digesting, each living a separate life are more impoi tant than the heart even in blood circulation. I he human body is like a nation. Brain and heart are the government. The cells are the citizens, and most important. Dr. Mendelssohn of .Jlerlin University says "The secret of life is the ability of living cells to effect change of matter and absorb and eject fluids. I his change of fluids seems to be the principal cause of blood circulation." The secret of making life worth while is the ability of the living brain to accept and absorb new ideas. That is the principal cause of human progress. Students at Oxford worry because women are to teach there. "Isis," read by the Oxford young gentlemen, says that will eventually lead to a sex war, and is "a social revolution of the utmost significance." Women are natural teachers; teaching has been their business from the beginning; teaching children, teaching husbands. Hypatia, a better mathematician and philosopher than her father, Theon, was one of the greatest teach, ers that ever lived, until fanatical I earl>' Christian monks tore her from her chariot, as she was going to hei school, and murdered her, more thar 1500 years ago. The college boy or adult citizer lacking respect for women or confldence in their power, judgment and j goodness, pays a poor compliment tc his own mother.

Arnaldo Marson, with whom she eloped late last year. The last barrier which stood in itheir way was lowered today whan I certificates of final divorce were filed in the Westchester County clerk's office by the counsel for Mrs. Grace Burch of Marson, daughter of the late Bishop, and Lyndon W. Burch. Mrs. Marson and Burch, her son, were granted divorces from the elopers in February. The interlocutory decrees, each to run ninety days, were not signed by Supreme Court Justice Seegre, however, until March 15. Marson, an officer in the engineering corps of the Italian army during the wur, is thirty-eight. Mrs. Burch is twenty-six. Marson met the bishop's daughter, then Mrs. Walkup, in Salonika, where he was attached to an Italian military commission and she was working for the AmericanSerbian relief committee. They were married in 1920. Meanwhile, Lyndon W. Burch, after serving with the British Royal air force, married Miss Isabelle Keyes of Hastings-on-Hudson soon after the war. She and Marson eloped to California last September and were arrested on Mann act charges. Mother and son immediately brought suits J for divorce, naming the wife of one and the husband of the other as corespondents. When the interlocutory decrees were granted, both Marson and Mrs. Burch said they hoped to be married as soon as legal restrictions were removed. As a result of thirty years' effort by the simplified spelling board of America, twelve of the 30,000 respelled words contained in the handbook of this society have been entered in some English dictionaries. They are: tho, altho, thru, thruout, thoro, thorofare, thoroly, program, catalog, decalog, pedagog and prolog. Study of metals used b,y the ancient I Egyptians indicates that the lost art of hardening copper and bronze to steel-like strength was not known to them at all.
