Our teachers pay $1.00 to become members. This fee gives the membership to the State organiza tion, thus they give their support even if they can't attend the yearly meet lugs. There is also a Trustee associa tion. A special tax in every district that needs one with two exceptions. Patent desks in all schools but four. Laurens county has a supplemen tary report for teachers. Forty six made the honor roll. This has been an incentive for better work and is doing much to classify the teachers. Nine of the schools raised a bale of cotton. The Youngs school raised 215 bush els of potatoes. They have now plant ed the land in twelve bushels of onions. These onions were made on the plot this year. The seed were giv en last fall by a public spirited trustee. The value of this crop is $200.00. Three of the schools have regular demonstration plats, others try sonic agricultural work on smaller plan. The majority of the schools celebrat ed Educational Sunday. Most of the schools observe the celebrated birth days, when the patrons are invited in. The people of the county have learn ed the way to the school house. The open nights are well attended. Lec tures, spelling matches, night sessions of the day school, debates among the grown-ups, plays by the patrons. At Homes by teachers and patrons, coin munity picnics, etc., are bringing our people together and causing them to look to the stA-ol house for commun ity uplift anu pleasure. Laurens county has a community fair. Sixteen district. have put on com pulsory education. The greatest improvement in .the schools can't be shown---the personnel of the teaching force and the improve ment inl class room work.

('. )eeember'*I lih 1915. 21 ..t Country Has Seen Little Chanat While the Rest of the World Has Been Advanoing. In journeying to Assouan from Thebes the traveler cannot fail to be impressed by. the two beautiful tem ples of Edfu and Komi Ombo. The former, situated almpat midway in the journey, is of spedial Interest be cause it Is the best preserved of all the Egyptian temples. It was a center of the cult of Osiris, whose death and rising again wad, celebrated every spring within its close. The festival began with deep mourning. Proces sions of priests marched around the iwalls deploring the death of their god -in the contest with the evil one. In the sanctuary lay the mummy, person ified by a priest, while a priestess who Irepresented Isis wept over her dead lord and begged for his return. At last the resurrection morning came, the mummy arose, and joy reigned among the worshipers. Again proces sions formed upon the walls and, marching with banners and musical -instruments, proclaimed the risen lord to those who stood about. A few miles away is Kom Ombo, the beautiful temple of Sebek, the croco idile god, whose devotees hated the worshipers of Osiris as fiercely as in later times the followers of the prophet hated the Coptic monks whom they found before them in this very valley. Like Edfu, it dates from the days af the Ptolemies, who, built both build ings on ancient sites. The rulers of that time were Hellenists, but their architecture 'was that of ancient Egpyt, so firmly rooted in the land were the old dynastic traditions. Per sian, Greek and Roman came and carved their names upon the temples, but left no mark upon .the unchanging spirit of Egypt. Not even today is there any alteration, for still the .houses in the villages are built as of old, and over them rise the pigeon towers, veritable pylons, exactly like the towered gateways of the ancient temples.-"Royal Temples of the Nile," by William Warfield in Travel. Coal From the Arctic. A few years ago, the idea of getting coal from Spitzbergen, one of the most desolate islands of the Arctic c 'e n, was a topic for romanoers of the an day supplement type. Now it is a fact of considerable moment in many of the world's markets. A single company, financed chiefly by American capital, mined nearly 40,000 tons of coal from Spitzbergen last year. The deposit of fuel in the far North is said to be singularly easy to work. It comes in a single seam about four feet thick, stretching along the coast for 30 miles. The surrounding rock is so solid that timbering is not needed. The temper ature is always below the freezing point in the present workings, which does away with the need of pumps. 'In fact the only real difliculty is that of getting men-and motion pictures have gono far to solve that problem. Yet for every ton of coal in Spitzbergen there are ten in Alaska of at least equal quality, closer to a hungry mar ket. The arctic zone won't make a real dent in the fuel market till our big northwest territory gets in action. Stop Slavery In Papua. Our attention Is called by the Anti. Slavery and Aborigines Protection so ciety to the fact that following the pubhcsation of an article by our ?siel bourne correspondent in the Daily Chronicelo which dleclared that slavery was flourishing in Papua (B~ritisli 4ew Guinea), an investigation was made by the Australian government and severe action has now boen take:1 to ~..ng an cnd to the conditions wt described.
