Many of our schools have closed and the teachers have had a little 11 * ? \veu-earneci rest, but it is a pleasure to note that quite a number of them have already availed themselves of the opportunity to prepare more thoroughly for the work of another year by entering the Training IS^iooI Each week brings additions to the enrollment which is now twenty with prospects of other pupils in a short time. We need trained teachers and there is a position open to each one who qualifies for this work. All who can attend are asked to enter as soon as possible for there is a definite course of work planned and all who enter late will lose much valuable work which it is hard to make up. The fodowig article written by Frof W. H. Hand is taken from the High School Student, a little paper published by the Extension Department of the University of South Carolina. It brings forcibly before us the need for trained teachers and thciv opportunity for service. ? Prof W. H. Hand's View. j Next to the home firesides the pub I lie schools arc the best training camps for making patriotic American citizens, because the public schools themselves arc the most democrat*: j institution in America. All the chii- j (hen of all the people are in the publics schools at the most propitious period of their lives. The schools and the teachers have now the greatest opportunity that has ever come to them. 1. Teach the pupils day by day and hour by hour that the greatest possible service for them to render their country just now is to devote themselves assiduously to their school tasks. America is calling for men and women, but she is calling loudest | for trained ones. After the war the i call for trained men and women will be louder still. Encourage them to aid now in every possible way their elders in every serviceable s and patriotic undertaking.

Do not permit the schools to be exploited from their primary obligation. Do function. 2. Teach the pupils that they are vital factors in the citivronship of this country, and that thdy aye to become more and more potent factors as they grow older and becorhe bettor trained. | 2. Teach them to have faith in themselves and in their felVowmor.. Men without faith in themselves aVe incapacitated; men without faith in their fellowmen make dangerous citizens. 4." Teach them that truth and freedom ennoble men, an<l that error and bondage degrade men. f>. Teach them that democracy ;s more than a creed, and that patriotj ism is more than saluting the flag, singing "The Star Spangled Banner," and uttering platitudes about 1 democracy.

Teach them that the American soldier and the American citizen must stand together for truth, freedom loyalty, industry and sacrifice. 8. Teach them that every man an< i every woman who does not stand unalterably for these virtues in an en"my to this country. ; 9.

Teach them plainly that every man and woman in America is on trial. A lover of his country works for it, makes sacrifices for it, and is willing to die for it. An enemy of his country works himself, denies himself nothing, and shirks every call he can. 12. Teach them, finally, that the American people arc about to be tested as never before. An nvorwholm. ing majority of them are going to be found loyal and devoted to the caus^ we have exposed. 'Those not found irue and loyal will be branded as enmeies with a mark that will follow them to their graves. The disloyal, the coward, and the slacker will wish i they had never been born. j . /t RESOLUTIONS Massed by the pupils of the TeacherTraining Clasr, Wc, the pupils of the TeacherTraining Class, desire to express our hearty thanks and appreciation to the members of the County Board of Education for their kindness and consideration as shown to us in the conduct of the Teachers' examination on Friday, May 3, 1918.
