Denmark DOinSS.

DENMARK, June 4.-The closing exer-
cises of the Denmark High School attrac-
ted large audiences, and in degree of influ-
ence, the occasion, which has just passed,
ranks among the best ever held here. The
school has become more and more educa-
tive in every detail of work until today
it supplies the demands of the communi-
ty for more universal centre of the best
ideals of true child culture.
At one tj&e, it seemed eobable
that the nrps of teachsfs would work
next term l[| )elds, but the week
closed with bsS eonclusions. Mr.. Wig
gins will have charge ofthe school anoth-
er year, and Miss Mary c. Leland. the
efficient primary teacher, has been retain
ed. Therefore, the two extremes are GER
tainties and the trustees may expect very
good results next term with these impor-
-tant places filled by competent instruc-
tors. Four other young ladies in addi-
ton to tile primary teacher have been
elected, but as yet, the trustees have not
received their letters of acceptance.
Dr. Henry S. Hartzog, president of
Clemson College, delivered the annual
address Thursday evening before large
audience. The subject of the speaker
was, "The power of mind over matter"
The entire address supported the thought
that the large possibilities of student life
are insured through the highest possible
types of the intellectual growth. The
Doctor is splendid speaker and master
of choice words. His address was in
every sense a true appeal for higher edu-
cation
Friday evening the pupils of the school
carried out very fine program and re-
ceived the plaudits of their hundreds of
friends and visitors. THE May Pole
Drill" was the most attractive feature of
the evening, the presentation of which
was done with grace and accuracy. The
entire audience was delighted.
Rev. A. G. Wilkins preached very

superabnndantly. There is standing

Engineers have been going over the

where the road unites with the Southern.
The grading from Blacksburg to Union
was partly done about 10 years ago. The
line crosses the Broad river about Chero-
kee Falls and goes down by Union, New
berry, Saluda and on to Johnston. 1t will
shorten the line to Florida from the North

ORIGIN of the Word Sterling.

The origin Of the word ''sterling" is
very curious. Among the early mint
ers Of coin in northern Europe were the
dwellers Of eastern Germany. They
were so skillful in their calling that
numbers of them were invited to Eng
land to manufacture the metal money
of the kingdom. The strangers were
known as "easterlings." After e. time
the word became sterling" and In
this abbreviated form it has come to
imply what Is genuine in money, plate

CARE OF PLANTS IN SPRING.
Bewin EARLY to Train Trees and
shrubbery In the Way They
shoald Grow.

In the springtime when plants arc
making strong and rapid growth,
particular attention must be given to
training them, writes Eben E. Rex
ford, in Ladies' Home Journal II
neglected in this respect they soOu
get beyond control, and the only way
to bring them into subsection then
is by sacrificing good deal of the
growth they have made. This there
is no need of doing if the training is
begun in the right way and at the
right time. If branch is inclined to
outgrow others pinch of the end of
it, and keep all such branches from
growing by pinching until other
branches have had a chance to catch
up. If plant is not bushy and COM
pact make it SO by pinching off tho
end of all its branches. Keep up this
treatment until as many branches
have started as you think the plant
ought to have. If you desire plant
to grow in tree form train it to one
stalk until it reaches the height you
desire, and then nip off its top AMI
force it to branch. Save the branches
at the top to form the head of the
tree. If you want shrubby plant
begin the pinching process when it
is small. thus forcing it to branch
close to the pot. The old saying OF
'as the twig is bent the tree inclines"
applies pertinently to the training
of plants when in their early stages

ITO this invitation Lord Hard
wicke replied with the following
AN IDEA IN CHILD CULTURE
Course That II Intended to Develop
individuality and Broader
the Mind.

The world is gradually becoming
aware Of few practical facts that
it has persistently ignored. One of
these is that there is such a thing
as individuality in childhood. This
idea is being carried out in a few
experimental schools, notably that of
DR.. John Dewey, of Chicago, which
aims to prepare children for college
in IL years, beginning with the kim
dergarten. The course Of study is as
unique as it is practical. When TAX
ing the subject of textiles the raw
material is brought in and the chill
dren are shown how to wash the
wool, card, spin and weave it, says
Katherine Louise Smith, in Woman's
Home Companion.
In somewhat the same spirit a new
departure has been attempted in
France. At the age of Is French
girls begin a course on morals, devel-
oping from practical talks on con-
duct and moral philosophy to psy-
chology. Such subjects as the fam
lily, ones country and personal duties
are discussed. These subjects cover
a realm of suggestions which in
America the teachers leave to the
parents, who frequently ignore them.
1t is therefore interesting to note
these lessons as being taught to girls
of Is. Acting on the words of Mime.
Neckar that woman is intended to
perfect life, to animate, beautify and
sanctify it," these girls are taught
that woman is the center of the fam
lily, the soul of the household, ana
that on all superior men the influ-
ence of an intelligent mother is ap-
parent.
