The r rlub decided to hold anoftier Tag Day o xfter Christmas. At the suggestion b >f Mrs. Swittenberg, a committee had g jeen appointed before the meeting to p undertake the serving of lunch at g die County Teachers Association tj % A meeting on Saturday. Heretofore the Domestic Science department of the Kingstree high school has had charge of the lunch, an appropriation for the purpose being given from county and state funds.

Kelley brbught a message back from the State Educationil Ral'y in Columbia which she at:ended as a delegate from Williamsjurg, appointed by Dr. D. B. Johnson^ >f Winthrop College. She had been nstructed, she said, to ask the co>pe ration of all the women's clubs n her territory in the effort to make i success of Educational Week, which will be December 3-9. Speakers will :ome to Kingstree for the Williams.? J _ 1 'iV.t jurg rany ana it is nupcu mav uicic will be a real impetus given to educational work everywhere in South Carolina. Mrs. Kelley stated *hat speakers at the state rally maa. it plain that rural schools are not getting the full number of school months which they are entitled, and that there are many high schools over ;he state that fall short of thcrec)gnized standard and that the pupils who graduate from such schools ire not prepared to enter college. South Carolina and Louisiana vie with ?ach other for the bottom of the roll n the illiteracy test, and this statevide movement in the interests of education is to make a serious effort jo remove this stigma from the honorid name of South Carolina. The Mother's Club will be an active facor in making the Williamsburg raly a success. Mrs. Wilmot Gilland, a guest at he meeting, sang several charming longs and the meeting closed with t pleasant social hour, during which he hostesses, served tempting rereshments. o Red Cross Roll CalL The Kingstree Chapter American led Cross is putting on this week he annual Roll Call.
