HOW TO SPEND MY DAYS
In the Year 1913 Better than 1 Did
in the Year 1912.

county who will write the
best essay on the "Best way of spending
each day of this year 1918," will
be presented with a $5 gold piece,
and the second best $2.50. The

- * ? i-il I-.. 1
interested parties neaaeu uy me
county Superintendent of Education.
All essays must be in The County
Record office March 1 and must be
strictly original.
We are in receipt of letters from
a number of children contesting for
these prizes, but it is impossible to
publish them all in one issue. They
will all be published, however, in
the order received. So if your letter
does not follow don't feel discouraged,
it will appear later.
First, if the day is fair get up
looking happy and bright; do all the
good you can; do your home duties
well and willingly. If you are attending
school, go and don't see how
much you can worry your teachers;
see how good you can be and how
perfect your lessons can be.
If it is a gloomy or rainy day do
not be discouraged if you expect to
spend the day with one of your playmates,
but be bright and try to make
others happy, and you will be happy
yourself.
During the week if there is a prayer
meeting at the church don't say:
"I don't think anyone will be there;
anyway, I'm not going." But go
and try to get others to go. On Sun
days go to church and listen attentively
to what the minister is saying
and see if you can't get some benefit
from the sermon. Next,
let us consider education.
Education is all in a person's life.
Just think, our glorious State, South
Carolina, which is known far and
wide for its hospitality and refinement,
is second in ignorance, North
Carolina being first.
Parents, in September when school
begins, try to send all of your children
that are old enough. If anew
building is needed and if sufficieiii
sums of money are not given,give ei~
tertainments to raise it. The peopie
each day should try to make their
m.Uaa1 U/i !rt Qaiif
DUll/Ul UUC Ul tllC 1COUU15 IU Iwrvubii
Carolina.
Try to make the best of each day
as it come to us, for when it is gono
and we wish for it, we can but wish
in vain,for it has gone not to return.
As the poet has wisely said:
"The New Year some day,
When he's old and gray,
Will ask us what we have done
With the precious gifts of the year
gone by,
As they come to us one by one.
"May we tell him then with an answer
* true.
When he puts us to test,
That with every gift he has brought us
We have tried to do our best?'

Rome, S C.
I get up in the morning and dress,
then go and brush my teeth, then
before breakfast I go for a little
walk and get some fresh air, when I
come back I eat my breakfast, when
I get through I go over my lessons
once or twice to be sure that I know
them well, when I get through I go
to school. I do not like to miss my
lessons and be idle,but brightandgay.
On Sundays I go to church and
listen at the preacher preach. When
I go home I read Sunday-school papers.
Then in the evening I go to
Sunday-school, when I come back 1
take a little walk then go to bed:
When I wake up in the morning I
go to school again and I like to know
my lessons. I love school life, I
think there is nothing better than it.
I am a girl of Kingstree graded
school and these are my ways of
spending the good days of 1913.
Lucilk Hurt.
I jump up in the morning and
open the door for the cook and give
her out the meals. Then I go upstairs
and brush my teeth and dress.
After that I run and jump outdoors
to get some fresh air. I look over
my lessons two or three times to
see if they are right. Then breakfast
is ready. I eat, then go to
school as soon as the bell rings. I
do not like to give the teacher anytrouble
or get any demerits, for she
won't like me if I give her any
trouble. I do everything my mother
tells me to do. On Sunday I go to
church and listen to the preacher,
but some children laugh and talk
at church; that is not good at all. <
i When my mother doesn't go I ccme
; and tell her what the preacher said,
i In the morning I go to the Baptist
Sunday-school,then to the Methodist |
church. In the evening I study my j i
Sunday-school lesson and then go to (
the Methodist church. I like to an-j 1
swer all the questions. Then on Mon- ,
day I have all my lessons prepared
for school. When I come from |
school I help my mother with a lot
of things. When the cook wants a I.
J 1
holiday I help to cook and wash the: ]
dishes for her. I prepare my lessons j'
in the evening, for at night I get! i
sleepy and then go to sleep. I like \ j
school very much. I try to make my i
grade every year. I like to get on ;
the honor roll every month. I like ::
mv teacher verv much. I am a little 11

I am planning to spend the days; i
of 1913 in the very best way that I!,
.
can during the school period of the 1
year. I intend to rise early and i
make preparations for the work of j'
each day. I shall dress myself neatlv
for school and after helping about
the house as much as I can, I shall j.
go to school and behave well all dav.:
1111
I intend to have my lessons well j
prepared, recite the very best I possibly
can and obey my teacher in all;
things. When I return home I shall j'
again help about the house and yard
until supper. After supper I shall ,
study my lessons for the next day. i
During the vacation months I
shall help my mother with her work 1 (
in the garden and the flowers. I j j
expect to have some pleasure in go-'
ing to picnics and other public gath-!!
erings, because at these places I can j,
meet with my friends and have a 1
. .. ..... i i
good time with them. |,
I shall not forget my Sunday-;!
school. I intend to have them well J
prepared, so that I can answer cor- 1
rectly every question that my teach-'
er may ask. This work should be:
considered by all boys and girls as
one of their most important duties,
as it teaches them to be good, true
and useful.
I shall make it a rule cf life to be
kind and gentle to my playmates
and friends, so that all of them may
think well of me; but most of all,
because it is right for me to treat
them well. Whatever I do for them
will be done gladly.
I expect to do each day's work '
just as it comes to me. I do not intend
tn nut nff fnr tn-mnrrnw what
can be done to-day. First of all, I .
mean to learn the great lesson that
to-morrow never comes and that all ,
the time we can count ours is today.
Then I shall spend the days of <
1913 in being useful, good, consid- \
erate and cheerful. I hope that it
will be the happiest year that I have j
yet lived. Lizzie Gordon, i
Fifth grade, Kingstree High school. ]
I have made up mv mind to try ,
and be more helpful both to myself i
and others in 1913 than 1 have been
in the past. I have made some new
rules that I am going to try and |
follow. !
I am going to obey my parents
better than I have in the past. ?
I am going to study harder and !
try and recite better better lessons.
I am going to be more patient
and kind to my brothers and sisters '
and also to my playmates; to be
more agreeable and cheerful and
try and bring more happiness to
others if I can.
I will try to attend church and '
Sunday-school as often as I can and
remember what the preacher says. .
I will not waste any time at play
until I have learned my lessons and
done any work at home that I am
told to do. (
