And all that fain would down us,
Contempt will be their final lot,
God is with us, we with God,
And victory shall crown US!

years ago we followed the bier OF the Emperor
Frederick to the silent tomb. What gave HIM that
courage in suffering, the greatness OF which only
few we're able to conceive, that heroic strength
which outshone even all the glamour of his victories
in battle? 1t was the Christians faith, the Chris
tan's hope: God with us. He who has no 1alth
in God loses his courage, while faith possesses
a heroic force uplifting man above the cares and
burdens, the pains and sufferngs of this life, and
enabling him to triumphantly exclaim, even IN

Where knowledge walks with love. Unless
Great Love arise and take thy hand
In that unknown and doubtful land

The Summer School at Clemson.

The coming of five or six hundred
teachers to Clemson means great things
for Oconee and the people should open
their hearts to these teachers. They
will see our fine farming lands, water
powers undeveloped, our fine timber;
they will tell others and this will bring
rich men here, which will result in the
upbuilding of our schools.
Every teacher should go to Clemson,
Tor this will be tho golden opportunity
of his life, Hon. Martin having secured
the best faculty to be had. The people
of Clemson will do all they can for the
success of the great school. The lectures
alone will be valuable to teachers. The
State Teachers Association will meet
there also. The most enjoyable time of
my life was spent at the meeting at Rock
Hill. Not only teachers should 20 to
this meeting, but trustees and parents
will find it very helpful. The trustees
of the Oconee schools will find it to their
advantage to invite some of these teach
ers out to make talks to the parents in
the district. You can get them by pay
ing their transportation from Clemson to
your school and back. The trustees
should also go to Clemson and secure a
good teacher. Look at the great teachers
Oconee has sent out! Why not keep
chem hereP One of our own girls gradu-
ated at Cornell and is now teaching in
the West. The reason is we do not pay
them well and give them beautiful school
houses. Oconee should have large and
prosperous teachers association.
Let our teachers go to Clemson, come
home and all pull together to make Oco-
nee one of the leading counties. Look
what rapid prolress we have made in the
last few years.
Don't forget the Southern Educational
Conference in Columbia in April.
