Parent-Teachers Meeting.
By far the most enthusiastic meet
ing held by the Parent-Teacher's As
sociation in the last year was tha
held in the school auditorium on MOn
day afternoon, January 17th, 1921.
An attractive program consisting o
music and readings by Misses Julii
Hall and Hallie Hinds respectively
was enjoyed. Mrs. P. 0. Arrowsmitl
read a most helpful paper on "Th<
Relative Duty of the Home and th<
School in the Moral Training of th<
Child."
There was a full attendance at th<
meeting and valuable suggestion;
were made for the foundation of plan:
for the new year.
It was decided to put a teacher, witl
a committee from the patrons in he:
grade in charge of the program foi
each meeting. It was also decided t<
serve refreshments at the meeting:
hereafter.
Mrs. A. C. Swails, the vice presi
dent, has consented to act as presideni
until the meeting in May when nev
officers will be elected for the nex1
school term.
o
Passing of The Roll Top.
(From the New York Sun.)
The oldtime roll top is now on it<
last legs, and office furniture dealer;
say these species will be extinct withii
five years. Remember the time whei
almost any business man peered a
you over the familiar roll top, crouch
ing down behind it in the event thai
he did not want to see you? Hov
many of these roll tops can you firn
in the modern business office today?
Of course, some of the business mer
of the "old school" insist on using
their same old desk, but in the ma
jority of offices the roll desk flew
out of the window when efficiencj
walked in at the door, for, according
to these experts, the roll top desk i:
not only a hiding place for dirt, but il
Jc- olcn rlooirfn/l I \7 Jnpff HllP nriTV
cipally to the fact that there are se
many pigeonholes that the user i<
quite likely to forget where he put ar
important paper or memorandum.
The manager of an office fixture es
tablishment is responsible for the as
sertion that the roll top desk is slow!}
but slowly disappearing from the mar
ket.
"The modem office manager, sittinc
in his glass enclosed office at the enc
of the floor, wants to be able to set
the man at every desk," he said. "Witt
all flat tops he is able to see just whc
is and who is not on the job.
"We still carry a few roll tops ir
stock,, but I do not believe that the
factories will make them much longer
clue to the fact that there i* so little
demand."

The above score tells the story only Mill
.' in part. The Kingstree lads met the p^oj
New Zion lads on Kingstree's basket- .syp
ball court Tuesday afternoon. It was
> clearly evident after the first two min,
utes of play, who would be the win- ^
. ners in this contest, but there was
. plenty of room for guessing how high ^
t a score the Kingstree lads would
, I pile up. Due credit is given v.o the
I j New Zion lads?outweighted and ^
. j greatly outclassed they never became
f disheartened, but fought gamely ' ?
. throughout the entire game. Their ^
. last full goal was made in the last
I three minutes of play. The home boys
j did some stellar work both in ofifen- a
r sive and defensive playing. Burgess,
t left forward, was easily the bright
j star of the game throwing 17 field
P goals and one foul goal. Hi,s field "
I goals were thrown from any and all
j positions and angles. McDowell arr
t right forward, and Gordon, right
j guaftl came neext with four field u
goals each. McDowell also threw es 1
* three goals from fouls, in four at- er
tempts. Smith, center and captain e *
easily outplayed his opponent and has
three field goals to his credit. Neith- er
er Montgomery or Evans, who played
left guard, has a goal to his credit, ?
* but both did excellent work, especial- ggg
ly in breaking up their opponent's
passes. Coach Davis is highly pleased Jj
and greatly encouraged by the show- M
ing made by his boys, not only be- 8
* cause of their splendid aggressiveness m
and excellent team work, but also be- B
cause of the clean, courteous, sports- |
manlike conduct of each of his boys, g
s The line up was as follows: j|
