i-ation periods are observed,
teen minute recess period is ob
served from 11:55 to 12:10. School
is dismissed for the day at 2:10
n. m.
The “activities” period is suppos
ed to be the period in which pupils
and teachers consider the man.,
phases of community life. Twice a
week, on Tuesday and Friday, the
entire group meets in the audito
rium. On the other three days ohe
activity period is observed in the
several home rooms. On Tuesday
die general group meeting is in
charge of the superintendent or
one cf the local ministers. These
men try to talk about topics that
dial with morals, life’s problems,
ideals, etc. Since religion, or rath
er Christianityy is a vital part of
our lives, the Bible is read and
commenced upon. The ministers
talk about the Bible apd God—not
about doctrines or creeds. The Fri
day morning assembly os activity
period is in charge cf cnc cf the
grades or grade oeetions. Some of
the very finest work of the school
is being carried on in this pupil
activity period because pupils are
learning to,do by doing. The pu
pils, together with their teachers,
plan and present the ’ programs.
The writer has yet v to see one that
failed in its purpose. Aside from
the value of the program to the
ones participating in it, much
pleasure and instruction is given
..he other pupils. For some reason,
parents and the public generally,
do not attend these Tuesday and
Friday exercises, although anyone
would be welcomed at any time.
We would very much like to have
our parents and friends visit the
school and see these “activity” pro
grams. The pupils at the grammar
school building have recently pro
vided seats for their assembly and
„hey will soon be inviting folks to
visit their plays, programs and en
tertainments.
The one hour recitation period is
observed for several reasons. It
simplifies the schedule because it
satisfies the time requirements for
the laboratory courses. It permits
a combination of study and work
that is very helpful both to pupils
and teachers. It eliminates the
push and hurry and worry of cov
ering the assignment in the alloted
time. It gives time for old fashion-
sd drill work—which has been sad
ly neglected during recent years.
Any interruption of the school
schedule wastes precious time and
decreases the efficiency of the
school program. This is the reason

“Doctor Bull”
In Latest Film
HUMORIST BRINGS GENIAL
PHYSICIAN OF FAMOUS NOV
EL LIVING TO THE SCREEN
SHOWING ABBEVILLE OPERA
HOUSE MONDAY, TUESDAY,
DECEMBER nth and 12th
Will Rogers comes to the Abbe
ville Theatre beginning on Monday
in his latest picture for Fox Film,
“Doctor Bull”. It is the screen pres
entation of the famous novel by
James Gould Cozzens, “The Last
Adam”, best-seller and recent
Book-of-the-Month selection, it is
reported as the most powerful ve
hicle the popular philosopher-com
edian has had on the talking
screen.
The story concerns a physician in
a small town who, in addition to
ministering to the health of the
community, acts as its unofficial
.atlier confessor. None of the town’s
iecreis escapes him. lie knows tho
inner life of every one of its in-
labitants. But it is not as a gossip
hat he finds himself interested in
he private lives of the village. He
is a mellow gentleman to whom
everyone’s reaction’s are an inter
esting bit cf human document.
The film does not present the
story cf one character. Like “State
Fair”, the last of the Rogers screen
plays, it deals with many charac
ters, each typical of its kind. It is
more than the story of one town.
For it is the story of thousands of
similar towns all over the country.

Edgefield County has supplied
5oi'th Carolina, v/ith nine governors
vncl five lieutenant-governors—a
:plcndid record even considering
the age of the state, which is one
of the ‘‘original thirteen.” Edgefield,
through its Daughters of the Amer-
?ar«’ Revolution has erected a mon-
uipent which will be unveiled in the
near future, the date to be an
nounced in due reason. Efforts are
oeing *°made to have President
^ocsevelt attend the exercises and
deliver the principal address. May
h|ey meet with success. Following
is the list of governors hailing from
that historic county: Andrew Pick
ens, the second; Pierce M. Sutler,
George McDuffie, J. H. Hammond,
Francis W. Pickens, M. L. Bonham,
Tohn C. Sheppard, Benjamin R.
Tillman and John Gary Evans. Tfie
ieutenant-governors include: El-
Ired Simpkins, John C. Sheppard,

and James O. Sheppard, incumbent
of the office. One could take the
