Hand and will be read with interest by our people. To the Editor of The News1 and Courier: Any business to be successful must be pushed energetically and pursued long enough to be made effi ctive, Going to school is a business and it ought to be considered. It is the chief business of a very large percentage of children be tween 8 'and 14 years of age. Without taking any account of the hysterical few who see nothing but failure in the public schools, sober minded people are compelled to admit that the majority of school children at the age of 14 have acquired very little of either knowledge or the capacity to acquire know ledge. All manner of reasons are assigned as explanations, such as poor teaching, poor courses of study, and poor effort on the part of the pupils. How many of us have stopped to consider how unbusiness-like we run our schools-how little time is actually given to earn est school work and how un economically the time is dist rib uted? Our school day in prac tically all the towns and yillages begins at 8:45 or 9 o'clock and closes at 2 or 2:15 o'clock. A considerable number of country schools close before 3 o'clock. This short school day is the re sult of a re-action against the over-long day of a few decades ago, when the session lasted practically all day. But that long day had its cdmpensations and its redeeming features. It had a long noon recess for re laxation, rest, and recuperation, some kin<-of lunch was eaten at nog r, and most of the' school work was done at school under the direction of the teacher The present daily schedule is heavy, and the teacher's time is entirely taken up with recita ti'ns. The classes come up and go regularly and almost contin uously. During the day there are one or two recesses totaling not over thirty minutes. There is no time for a lunch, except a cld one snatched, up and gulped down between bells. There is no time for relaxation or recup eration. There is no time for the teacher to direct the study pupils. Every body works at high ten sion. The high speed is kept up until closing time-about 2 o'clock. By closing time the eacher andl the pupils are in a high state of nervousness and are as hungry as bears. The pupils rush home, gull) down their belated meal, then hurry out to play or to roam the streets util night, The teacher picks up her load of written exercises. DR. SIMMONS Squaw Vine Wine A Palatable Medicine especially prepared to relieve and care the diseases which affect wonmen This excellent medicine is not only successful in conquering the pain ful and prostrating diseases that attack the female generative system but it is exceptionally pleasant to take. The usual rule that the nastier the medicine the more effective it is, is reversed in the case of Squaw Vine Wine. It is one of the pleas antest of medicines. The fresh juice of a well ripened sweet orange is not more agreeable. It is indeed a happy combination of sweet herbs compounded with just enough spirits to keep it fresh and active in its medicinal effect. Poor, tired mothers, worn out with the cares of a family and household. and suf fering from those distressing aches, bearing down pains and nervousness which women only know, revive wonderfully under its strengthening and exhilirating influence. It eases pain, strengthens weakened parts, corrects irregularities, builds up a strong, vigorous body, restores brightness to the eye and color to the cheeks.

LOUIS, MISSOURI KEOWEE PH ARMA CY ~itive Pup ~IMEN SUDDEI~NLY REpS CW1, ,//A rry in Schoolj goes home fagged out, eats a 1 little-perhaps, and with aching head and heavy heart sits down to correct that load of exercises and to wonder what can be : worse thaun teaching school. In I all this mad rush who is doing < most of the teaching and when is it being done? The teacher is t hearing recitations all day and ) correcting papers all night. A good part of the teaching, if done at all, must be done by < the fathers amxi mothers-if < they get home from the office i and the club meeting in time. I This routie is repeated week in 1 and week 'out. The chief aim of a child's going to school is defeated. The chief aim in sending him to school is to teach him how to study. -If he fails in this, his schooling is a mis carriage. Could not all this be remedied 1 by following a simple common sense course? Why not close school at 12 o'clock for an hour in which pupils must eat a lunch and take reasonable exercise, then re-open school until 3:30 or 4 o'clock? The school day would be lengthened and the work better distributed. Teach ers would have time to teach as well as hear recitations. Parents would have less teaching to do at home. The children would be kept more off the streets, and the health of teachers and pupils would be preserved. Might there not be some im provement in the length of the school year and the distribution of the year's work? By a kind of common consent we have come to look upon 36 weeks as the maximum school year. Thus a child has 36 weeks in school and 16 weeks of vacation in each year. At the re-open ing of school, how much of the previous year's work has the average child forgot and how much is so hazy as to be of no service to him? Is it any won der that many teachers, feet compelled to put in a good part of each school year review ing the previous work? Or, is ii any wonder that man' classes find themselves in a chronic state of being turn~ed back? Would it not be wiser to teach 40 wveeks in the year. with week's rest at the end of the first, second and third 10-week terms and( a 9-week sumer vacatione The school ye2ar would thus be kngthened and the work so distribute~d as to gve the needed rest periad. ithout the long all-sumn:a vacation for forgettmng at leaist hlvf that has been l-arnued dar ig the year. By the time the child is 14 .5 ears of age he would have had at least bester oppor tunity to learn something and less excuse for forgetting what heQ had le rned. SW. H. Hand. Coumbia, S. C..
