Educational Month.
April is "educational month" for
the thousands of Methodists in South
Carolina. A great campaign will be
-conducted during that month in an
effort to raise $300,00?) for the bene/
.fit of Methodist colleges and schools,
including Carlisle school. Meetings
have been scheduled throughout every
Methodist church in the State, and
from every pulpit the appeal for these
great institutions will be sent out to
Methodist men and women.
- The great work that has been accomplished
by these institution^ and j
the efficient service rendered by them
to their denomination and State have
established their place in the educational
realm. Men from Wofford
have occupied many places of leadership
and women instructed at Lander
and Columbia have made wonderful
contributions to the intellectual
and social growth of our commonwealth.
The aggregate value of the prop-,
erties owned by these colleges is
something over $900,000, with an en
dowment combined of only about
$230,000. The three institutions are
in debt to the amount of nearly
' $200,000, and this campaign is being
waged with the idea of putting them
squarely upon their financial feet,
and to add to their scanty endowment
funds. Notwithstanding tire
lack of funds in the past, these
church institutions have educated
boys and girls in a wholesome atmosphere
at the average cost of $109 per
student annually, while State owned
institutions of learning average the
annual expenditure per student of
$227.
Among the meetings to be held in
this section of the Orangeburg district
are as follows, giving the
church, the time of meeting, and the
probable speakers:

CLEAX-rP DAYS NAMED. |
I j
j Monday and Tuesday, April and ;J, I
Designated. j
The Civic league of the town of !
l
Bamberg desires to direct the atten-1
tion of Bamberg people to the fact!
that Monday and Tuesdav, April 2 !
I
and 2. has been set apart and desig|
nated as clean-up days. This act is
in Keeping with the established cus-!
torn of several years, and it is to be
hoped that the attention given the
day this year will surpass any date
j of the past. j
The league does not consider it ,
necessary to point out and name the j
several things thai should be done j
on these days, for the term, "clean-j
nil." is self-explanatory, and if)
every citizen of the town will, but;
make a personal application of its j
meaning to the premises of his or!
her home and the town officials to j
the streets and other places under i
their control the result will be a'
marked improvement in the appear- j
ance of our little city. Why should
the premises of our homes, our
streets, parks, play grounds and other
places of the town be kept untidy i
and unclean? Why should trash and j
other vegetable matter be permitted j
to accumulate to the disgust of the j
eye and to the detriment of our j
health? Remember, it is tQO late
after the germ has been bred and the
resultant disease has its death grip '
upon some cherished member of
members of our homes. Why not
spend a few dollars or expend a little
labor for the purpose of making the
premises of our homes presentable
and attractive, and our town clean
and free from disease? Why not
| make Bamberg a "City Beautiful?"
Will you help? Then remember April
j 2 and 3, clean-up days.

also. Some of t;he subjects were:
"The South's Campaign Against Dis- .

"EVERYBODY
TWENTY THOUSAND NEEDED.
Lieut. Cooper Urges Cooperation in
Securing Naval Recruits.
Editors The Bamberg Herald:?At
;his critical time in our national life
t is of supreme importance that the
lavy?"our first line of defense"?
do recruited up to full strength.
Twenty thousand men are needed imnediately
to properly man the ships
ilready built or nearing completion.
I regret to have to state that the
liost serious obstacle we have to
)vercome in securing recruits in this
State is the objection of the parents.
>ome parents not only u^e their inluence
to prevent their sons from
snlisting but in many cases refuse to
sign the age certificates required,
iven when the applicant is of proper
ige.
The need of our country for more
nen for the navy is urgent and
should be given first consideration by
ill Americans worthy" of the name.
Furthermore the safety of the
country demands that the present
ligh morale of our navy be mainlined.
In other words we not only
leed more men but these should be
)f the highest type. To accomplish
this, all parents, teachers, ministers!
md other leaders of community
:hought should be urged to inculcate
n every young man the love of county
and the sublime beauty of service
;o that country and the personal na:ure
of- this service. Such' service
:annot be delegated to our neighbor.
So man has a right to sit back and
aemoan the unprepared, state of our
country without first doing his utmost
to help prepare. If disaster
overtakes us the individual and more
especially to the leaders of public;
thought will go the lions share of the j
blame. Arouse public sentiment to (
hho noppcsitv and the battle is half i
won.
This duty should be cheerfully performed
by each one without thought
Df reward. Fortunately however, in 1
the case of our navy, the reward is |
fully commensurate with the service.!
This leature should be given careful j
consideration by all parents truly in-1
terested in the welfare and advance- j
Qient of their sons.
In addition, it is the patriotic priv- j
ilege of every mother and father to ;
teach their boy that his first duty is !
to his country, for by enlisting now 1
he may help to safeguard his posteri- I
ty for all time. In addition he lion-1
Drs himself and them by offering his
service whether it be accepted or not.
