The following is the report ol Head Master Guilds to the trustees of Wofford college, for the 1914-1 91." session: I am reminded in dating this re port that it has been five years sinct the Carlisle school reopened, and ] am persuaded to recount some of the achievements, material and other wise, of that period. I do so witl" a sense of profound gratitude to al those friends who Delieved sufficiently in the usefulness and future of tht school to contribute of their monev and time for her advancement. Much has been done during the past five years in the way of interioi improvements?painting, new furni ture, new equipment, etc. The mosi notable of these have been the equip ping of the auditorium with open chairs and the enlarging and re furnishing of the library. In January 1913 the school receiv ed a gift of three and a half acres o! land from Mr. W. D. Rhoad for use as an athletic field. This propertj is very near the campus and is i valuable asset. It lias been levellec and packed and a grand stand erect ed for the accommodation of oui friends. Rhoad's Park has done much in promoting athletics in oui school. Early in 1914 the handsome three story brick dormitory, for which we had been so long planning and work ing, was completed at a cost of be tween $16,000 and $17,000. We art sure it could not be duplicated foi $20,000. The citizens of Bamberg stood nobly by the school in this great enterprise. This building doubled our capacity for boarding students?we can now accommodate 125. It also enables us to compete from the equipment standpoint wit! the best preparatory schools of oui section of the country. During the session just closed the school received a donation from Mr C. F. Rizer, of Olar, S. C., for the erection of a gymnasium. Work or this building is now under way. The outside dimensions are 40x77 feet the actual floor space of the exercise room being 38x56 feet. A bath roorr and porch occupies the rest of the space. The roof will be supported b> hnVk niers and a brick wall will ex tend six feet above the floor. The space between there and the roof will be left open for the purpose of securing an unrestricted supply of fresh air and at the same time providing privacy and weather protection Selected hard brick are being used and when completed the gymnasium will not only add materially to the equipment of the school but will be an ornament to the campus. Oui local board ?f control has voted thai it shall bear the name, "The C. F Rizer Gymnasium." But in addition to this material growth the school has accomplished other things, less tangible but of nc less importance. For instance, we have won many friends all over lower and some in upper South Carolina. we are better advertised, we are in better public favor, and, finally, ] believe w? have convinced many people who entertained grave doubts as to the permanency of the school, thai the Carlisle school is going to be a school really worth while and thai she is just now at the beginning ol her growth and usefulness. The present session has been a remarkable one in some respects. Ie ?nitp nf the financial situation we have enjoyed our largest enrollment throughout the year in the boarding department. This record was made possible by the decision on the pari of the board to accept some cottor at 10 cents. Forty-four bales were received and are still on hand. The total enrollment was eighty, which represents, insofar as the boarders are concerned, about sixty per cent of those who applied for room. We believe that many of those who applied this year and could not come will enter next fall. There were, fourteen members of the graduating class, eight boys and six girls. It is not likely thai many of these will be able to continue their education. Probablj three of the girls and three or four of the boys will enter college next fall. One boy will certainly go to Wofford and maybe others. Our health this year has been excellent. We are grateful that there was no serious illness among either faculty or students. The dormitories have been screened and the board ol control has decided to have septic tanks and closets installed during the present summer. Our surroundings then will be absolutely sanitarj and we should enjoy even better health than in the past. The faculty remains the same foi another year with the addition ol one man who will have charge ol the gymnasium and out-c^oor sports. .Mr. Paul \Yhita.ker. of the present ?onior class at ^Yofford. has been elected to that position. Our financial condition June 1 was Rent2 ? Vol. 1 c Jl'ST A THOUGHT. We hear people hint about hard ' times now, and hard times ahead. ^ "Oh!" they say, "Suppose the war ' goes on for years yet. what will be the result with us?" Let's remem| ber what "Velvet Joe" says. He says: "Life without trouble is like shooting birds on the ground. No ^ sport at all." If that is so. we might as well put up with a little sport as we go along. i War or no war, rain or no rain, we will have a few weeks' sport right on hand. We hear the people complain^ ing about it, and we believe it's so. from what we have seen. 1 When we gain something by hard work we believe it is appreciated more than if it comes too easy. We -1 know of a man who left Virginia at f the close of the civil war $50,000 in debt. He at once went to a large r city, set up a small business, and by 1 hard work he has paid the debt and I his estate has grown up to the mil lions. Some one asked him how he r made his fortune apparefltly so easy? ' He says his plan has been: r "'Early to bed and early to rise: ? Work, work, work and advertise." Some one else says "Our work is ; our play." So after summer all get ; THK NEWEST SKIN* GAME. , An Enterprising Fake I>o<-tor and His ; Dryless Ointment. A resident of the lower East Side > opened the door of his flat to admit ; a short, well-fed gentleman with a i medical odor who said he represent: ed the board of health. The flat dweller was commanded to remove * u:~ lio nn thp t pan ui ii is> tiuuuug uuu i*w . bed, his back uppermost, his face in > the pillow and submit to a physical i examination. i The medical man. in pursuance of , his duty, anointed the patient's back j with a greasy preparation calculated i to bring the physical defects to the i surface and commanded the patient to lie quite still until the ointment dried. When his patience would ens dure no longer the patient' rolled i over) the grease still not dried. The medical man was gone and so was i the little wad of bills that the East ; Side man had worn next to his skin. Last night the police arrested Jos1 eph Krowl, 26, of 1,336 Fortieth i street, Brooklyn, and charged him ! with being the bogus medical man i I in this little scenario, which has been ' | played with profit in at least 15 : j homes in the East Side below Four. teenth street. Krowl is at police headquarters charged with grand I i larceny. The police say he has a II record, that he is No. 20.112 in the > j Rogue's Gallery and that he has been ! to Sing Sing. Jacob Fein, 69 Elflridge street, said to be the father of Dopey Ben ny, the gangster, says the medical ' person got $38 from his trousers when the scene was enacted in ms > home. Annie Rubenfeld, 91 Willet t street, says she missed $4 after the l examination. Herman Godel, 55 Avenue D. says when he decided the f ointment on his back would never dry $70 was gone from his trousers. Abraham Dutch. 96 Goerck street, ' lost $100. The next day Dutch got this letter: 1 "I herewith return $80 of your > money. It is of no use to me. The other $20 will follow.

By Mr. Fefdmann in Brenven to Lady in Charleston. (Translated for the Charleston Ever ing Post.) Dear : I am glad to see my letter of N< vember 24 published in the Charle: ton Deutche Zeitung. I write to yo again, knowing that my letter wi reach people who have a heart an feel for assassinated Germany; pet pie who stand for a square deal an have not bartered their sense of jus tice?otherwise (so help me God! I would not waste a single sheet ( paper on any profit-mad. hypocritict American of the type that seem t influence public opinion over then Does really nothing else count i your country but the dollar? 1 business worth more than a clea conscience? Or does decency an honest play still live in you,r cour try? We Germans like profitabl business too. but we want to mak our profits honest and decently?w don't care for money that stinki we are too self-centred to pick u blood money. But the millions tha now are being "made" across th oc'ean on war material for Englan i and France are blood money. It i ! money soaked in the blood of thoi ' sands of Germans, English, Frenc I and Russians who have to sacriflc their lives because the war is bein prolonged by America. Oh, you ar welcome to your "captains of indu: try and finance," you are welcom to your Mr. Leiter, the grain gair bier; to your Mr. Bryan, who sign the American treaties. Go ahea with your short-sighted policy ths only thinks of today and is afrai to look into the future, to a tim that is sure to come (not "may come) when the roles will be rever; ed. Will Germany then stanji b you in your need? This is a pro! leb I cannot answer as yet. on j thing, however. I know: German ! will never descend into a mire, sue i as America is wallowing in now. i Shortly before the war a boo ! was published by Rudolf Herzoj ! "The Great Home Sickness." Then I in the author pictures the German in America, their loyalty to thei I adopted country, their great love fc [ the "land of the free (?)" and als I the love for the fatherland, hidde i away in the inmost recesses of th j heart, slumbering there, but awaP ening from time to time, when sui rounded by false prophets and hj pocrisy. I have read the book wit great interest, and I admired you pioneers and your country. Must now, on the hand of facts before m believe that it was all a lie? I seems so preposterous. The war is artificially prolonge by America, this is beyond the pos sibility of dispute. It is also tru that it is prolonged to our detr: ment. although it can not chang the final issue. Has ever proud Eng land dreamed of it that it woul have to hide its flag? Despite a I high sounding statements Englan | is trembling, not yet perhaps at th j enormity of its sin in having careful ly prepared and instigated thi bloody war. but it is trembling be cause its sfn is sure to find it ou and to carry its just punishment The handwriting on the wall ha been seen.
