MISS RUDD'S REPOST
OF RURAL SCHOOLS
The Report Covers the Work of Miss
Rudd Since the First of
the Year.

Columbia, Aug. Ga marked i'm
provement in rural school conditions
is shown in the bulletin recently
issued by Miss Slise C. Rudd, the
field agent of the school Improvement
association. In the bulletin are to be
found some pictures that make
striking contrast between the past and
present in the construction of school
buildings. The report covers the work
of Miss Rudd since the first Of the
year and many interesting facts as
to school conditions are presented.
The report shows that most effective
work is being done by the school i'm
provement association. There are
number of photographs in the bulle-
tin illustrating the improvements that
of the State.
AS pointed out by Miss Rudd the
object Of the school Improvement asso-
citation is to improve the rural schools
OF South Carolina; by building, paint
ing, consolidating, levying special tax
es and lengthening school terms by
establishing and enlargng libraries;
by putting better teachers in the
schools, and by securing proper equip
ment for carrying on first class teach
ing; by beautifying the school room
and school grounds, and by increas-
ing the average daily attendance.
There are three branches of this
organization, the State association,
county association and the local as
sociation.
The State association has a mem
bership of 10000 men, women and
children. Among its members are col
lege presidents, professors and teach
ers; State and county superintendents
of education, city superintendent and
teachers, lawyers, doctors, preachers
and men OF every other profession in
the State.
There are 80 county associations and
several hundred local associations
throughout the State

SAVE THE OLD LINEN.

No old linen should ever be thrown
away. 1t is one Of the most valuable
assets Of the housekeeper.
When sheets wear away in the mid
die, cut them down the center. Put the
two outside edges together so as to
form a a and hem the outer hin
edges.
When the new center wears out also
cut the good pieces into squares as
large as possible, edge them with tor
chon or crochet lace and utilize them
for tea table or try cloths.
The remainder tear into long strips,
wash, mangle and roll UP and keep
them for use in case Of illness.
Old huckabacks make an excellent
polishing cloth for plate. For wiping
delicate china old linen has no equal.
Old muslin curtains should be well
boiled to free them from starch. The
muslin makes good bags for tying UP
herbs and spices in soups and stews,
while, If the meshes are not too large,
It will be found the very thing for
straining sauces Inc graVies.
Salt bags should never be thrown
away. Wei boiled to remove the
dressing the material contains they
will be found to provide really very
useful jelly bags.

Julia Ward Howe.

Her eyes have seen the glory Of the pres
ence Of the Lord:
He was waiting in the garner where the
fruits OF life are stored;
He was mindful of the warsong that was
mightier than the sword;
OF truth that marches on.
She had seen Him in the turning Of her
ninety golden years,
In the press OF human struggle, human
want n human tears;
h had seen His kingdom growing in the
midst of woe and fears;
His day that marches on.
She had read a gracious gospel writ In
many a gracious life
Toiler, statesman, trader, poet, hero hus-
band, hero wife
She had found the peace eternal in the
midst of mortal strife,
Since God is marching on.
Where He sounded forth His trumpet she
would never call retreat;
Where He led His worn battalions In the
a dust and heat,
How swift her soul to answer Him! how
Jubilant her feet,
For God was marching on.
In the beauty Of the autumn, in the shin
ing OF the sea,
She has found the great acknowledgment,
the Christ Of liberty.
AS he died to make men holy, SO she lived
to make men free;
Her soul Is marching on.

WRONG IN THAT DIAGNOSIS
Physicians Method May Have Been
All Right, but Here He Was
at Fault.

We are told that the latest sensa-
ton IN the medical world is the asser-
ton Of a doctor that he is able, by
looking into a patients eye, to make
an accurate diagnosis of the complaint
which the patient Is suffering. But is
this really as novel as 1t is supposed
to be? ! recollect hearing some time
ago Of a doctor who said to a patient
who was under examination: II can
e by the appearance of your right
eye what is the matter with you. You
are suffering from liver"

Yes" returned the doctor. 1T

transport 1000 tons at $414 a ton.
The remainder viii be carried by Am
erican ships at a price ranging from
So on sailing vessels 90 S6.33 on steam
ers. 1t would appear that the differ
ence between the rate of the foreign
vessels and the sum paid American
vessels was out OF reason. but the de-
partment holds that when the Ameri-
can rate does not exceed the foreign
rate by more than so per cent, Il Is
justified in paying IT, This is a sub
sidy greater than the most ardent adj
vocate Of that principle had ever adj
vocated.
Americas greatest naval need is coal
carriers. Most of the coal transported
for the use of the ships Of this govern
ment Is carried by foreign vessels. In
the event Of war. vessels flying a for

without coal our battleships could not
proceed from one station TO another
Before more battleships are construct
ed 1t would appear to be necessary
to properly equip the fighting squad

among other things, tpqte we had to
depend upon foreign vessels for coal
