Swear .A ingen, state superintendent of educa tion: "The progress of the schools during recent years is directly due to the determnnation of the people to edu cate their children. The state depart nient of oducation is a branch of the government working in co-operation withi every educational and unselfish agency for the upbuilding of the coin mnmonwealth. The growth of our pub lie school system is due to the spirit of the people and the spirit of hte helpers in the office. The schools shall continue to have all my time and energy. A constructive forward look ing educational program is one of our greatest needs today. The draft act of 1917 called to the camps many ill educated and uneducated soldiers. The draft act of 1918 will probably emphasize this regrettable situation. "The war departmiient tod-ly has practically taken over the colleges of the country in order to meet the war emergency. An extension of this pol cy to secondary schools does not o:ein unlikely in the near future. Con. -gress has already mad? appropriations for the vocational eclucation of boys and girls over 14 years of age. Ample funds have been provided and plans *re already under discussion for the rlha1)ilitation of cripple d soldiers. i:very indication now points to a conl conigressional program in eduation. "But the essential and fundamental work of the schools in the seven ele mentary grades is purely a state func tion oday. Much remains to be done in the accomplishment of this task. "The liberal policy of state aid to the schools must be retained and en marged. An adequate compulsory at tendance law with truant officers and necessary penalties ought to be en acted and enforced.

The United States Employment Ser vice. which has had to meet and over come all the obstacles that every now enterprise faces, is steadily im proving, and its organization is be coiing more effective daily. Federal Director Tilghmta for South Carolina was eAuthaorize'd to (law on three Western States---Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma--for 1.000 la borers each. The telegram read fur ther: "Understand 1,000 men soon to be furloughed to Camp Jackson." Mr. Tilghman was also advised that the steamer Cherokee had brought 859 laborers from .Nassau to Charleston. Two carloads of laborers have been brought from Florida; also nine Inc. chanics, 67 carpenters and 11 pilo driver men. A crew of 20 men for railroad work is coming from West Palm Beach, Fla., and Nashville is sending four plumbers. All these men are going to CharLeston and the need there for laborers and skilled work ers is steadily being met. A concern in Charleston is building a large number of big boilers for ships on the gulf coast. Thtego boilers are so large that they will have to be towed to their destination as flat cars are too small to hold them. Boiler. makers are being called for by this company. May Use More Flour.

A GOOD RECORD IS SHOWN Bulletin Telegraph Service Showing World's Series Baseball Games Interest Sevier Soldiers. Camp Jackson. During the week ending August 30, $1.256 men at Camp Jackson partici pated in athletic sports of various kinds, while 82,295 witnessed these events. At Camtp Jackson at the base hos pital, off of the beaten paths of traf fic may be found a c.nteen that is, in the vernacular of the soldier, some canteen. One is first attracted to this busy center of commercial activity by the well kept grounds and the rustic fence, which improve the exterior ap pearance to a wonderful degree. Look ing at the building from the roadway one cannot fail to see the 6 by 45 foot sign that fits in the exterior ar rangement in a very pronounced way. This is the only government building in camp that is painted, and it is of a beautiful green tint, blending perfect ly with the greensward of the board lawn. The provost guard made 171 arrests during the month of August and that is highly creditable to the Camp Jack son boys as many thousand men vis ited the city last month. Of the num ber arrested 24 were charged with intoxication; eight altered passes; ten forged passes; 94 were caught with out passes; seven were arrested for talking to negro women, and three were charged with immoral acts. Recent arrests by the military po lice included the arrest of Private George Cain. who is charged with be ing drunk and disorderly to the dis credit of the military service. Private Horn Benson is being held charged with forging a pass. Private Prank Ilarris is charged with officially i giving an assumed name. Private Abe Taylor was arrested and charged with being disrepectful to a fellow private. Private Joe McKoy is charged with officially giving an assumed name. Sergt. Ray Abercrombie was arrest ed on the charge of being drunk and disorderly to the discredit of military service. Private David Akens was arrested on the charge of being drunk in uni form. Camp Sevier.

This parable, like that of the Ten irgins, is associated with the second "fming of Christ. In both instances re is evident an unpreparednes part of the nequle In V 'here i sec . the Spirit, or it may be the Lospel of Jesus Christ. With refer 'inee to these talents note: 1. Their distribution (vv. 14, 15). (1) A sovereign one. The servants belong to the Lord as well as the money. (2) An Intelligent one. The rlistribution was made on the basis of the ability of each servant. The rea son one man received one talent was because the Lord knew that he would he incalmble of using two or flive. (3) A purposeful one. The talents were given to be traded with. They were not given for the servant's own use, but stock-in-trade for the enrichment of the master. 2. Employment of the talents (vv. 1G.18). In this employment all the servants recognized that the talents did not be long to them. The two-talented man and the five-taleinted man put their talents to use, which resulted in a large increase. It is always true that the right use of talents increases them. The one-talented mnn hid his in the earth. The unmistakable sign of the one-talented man is that he is hiding his talent. The two-talented and five talented men are always busy. 3. The accounting for the talents (vv. 19-30). (1) Its certainty. There is a day coming when the Lord's servants shall give an account to him for the use they have made of their talents. (2) The time of. This is at the coming of the Lord. Those who are using their tal ents will rejoice when the Lord comes that they many present unto him their talents with increase. Rut the one talented mnn will have fenr aid drenti against that day. (3) The jludgments ttnnouncei. To the faithful there was rewa rd.
