One of the recent educational facts
which are being driven home into the
public consciousness is that the child
who has to leave school at fourteen
years and go to work is not fitted for
life. His school days have not been
made a sufficiently definite asset to
him. Our grammar schools as run at
present reach their highest efficiency
only when the child continues on
through theS high school, In other
words, our present educational sys-

tenn is planned for the few who go to
college instead of the many who go to
work.
In some towns school gardens have
sprung up in response to the demand
that education must fit the masses for
life as well as the minority for col
lege. Geography, history and arith-
metic have in consequence been prun-
ed back severely, and the educational
sap is seeking an outlet in new direc-
tions.
The school garden is a great educa-
tional force which must be reckoned
with in the near future. Why? Be-
cause it is rare combination of es-
sential educational qualities. 1t is a
happy mingling of play and work, va

equality For once the weakling or
the lame child does not cover before

School gardens, therefore. are not
only good to educate the children. but
they also benefit the town. The chill
dren in this town have as much need
of school garden education as the rest
of young America. And why can't
we give it to them? Our facilities are,
as good as any other town in this
country Our schools can be utilized
in this healthful education as well as
the vacant grounds with which al
most every residence is provided
Summer time is near. during which
time our schools eose, leaving some
of the pupils with nothing to do but
to loaf around and idle away their
time. Why couldn't we begin right
now to interest the children with this

keep them busy during the coming
summer.

Duties of a Godfather.

The duties of godfather consist in
standing up with the child Though
not actually holding HIM at the time
Of the christening, and in some
churches the godfather promises to
see after the religious education of the
child 1t would be well for any one
who has been asked to serve in this
capacity to familiarize himself with
the ritual of the church in which the
child is to be christened in order to be
able to make the proper responses at
the right time.
The usual present is silver cup or
porringer, cup and plate for bread
and milk. or set of silver-knife, fork
and spoon-is sometimes given. Any
of these would be preferable to money
A godparent makes present of silver
of some sort if he or she can afford
to do so.

General Arthur st. Clair founded
Hamilton. o., 100 years ago because he
was looking for good site for a fort.
The old stockaded clearing on the
bank of the great Miami river grew
into city of more than $4,000 people
because the place that ST. Clair picked
out for fort proved to be good site
for town.
In all these years Hamilton grew in
spite of herself and her people. All
manner of factions separated the pop
ulation. and one-half the community
spent a good deal Of its time knock
ing the rest of it. Nobody thought
of cooperation. Nobody dreamed that
it was possible.
Things weren't moving as they
should, people thought. The average
Hamiltonian had set his standard by
the flush days of 90, when the big
shops were all working overtime and
money could be had almost for the
asking. A spirit Of depression got
into the air. People lost faith in their
town and faith in themselves.
Not long ago a few business men
began to diagnose the trouble and to
seek remedy. They came to the con-
clusion that Hamilton had lost her

Mamma the Day.

1t is the brides privilege to name
the wedding day. When this has been
arranged a list is made of the close
friends and valued acquaintance of
both families SO that nobody will be
sighted by not getting an invitation.
1t is a good idea to use the letters of
the alphabet for getting down these
names. searching the memory as each
letter presents itself for the name that
begins with it. The invitations should
be issued at least month before the
wedding. The arrangement of the
church and the choice of the music
that is to be played are entirely mat
tiers for the bride to decide. The
bridegroom confers with the clergy
man after the parents or guardians of
the girl have seen him, going to his
house for last directions the day before
the ceremony.

DandeIions.

The suburban housewife can find
plenty of young shoots of dandelions
at this season to use on her table if
she possesses good sized lawn. For
salads and pot herbs at this season
gather the delicate young leaves early
in the morning, as the hot sun Of
midday seems to tougher them.
The dandelion is such a bitter little
herb that a salad made entirely of it
is not to be advised. The leaves COM
bine well with lettuce or onions and
may be used with new beets or
deviled eggs An excellent French
cook adds bit of bacon cut in dice

neighborhood you should send around
to all your friends cards bearing the

of three French words signifying ITO

sent by post, but it is perhaps still
more polite to leave them by hand

AUDUGoN SOCIETY
HOLD ANNUAL MEETING IN CO.
LUMBIA ON WEDNESDAY.
Matters of Importance Discussed by
the Members-James Henry Rice
Reelected Secretary.

The annual meeting of the Audi
bon Society of South Carolina was
held in the Loan and Exchange bank
building Wednesday. There were
800 members represented. M. o.
Dantzler, the president of the 80
ciety, was unavoldably detained on
account of the serious illness of his
brother. o. M. DantSler, sheriff OF
Calhoun county, -. ........
Moreover, President Dantzler kav-
ing served two full years. now re-
tires from the presidency. The 80
ciety saw him go with regret, and
passed suitable resolutions, testify
ing to the value of the moral and
active support he has given the
cause of bird protection during his
incumbency. His successor has been
named, but will not be announced
until he is officially notified and has
accepted.
The society feels that its moral
position is stronger than ever, al
though no gain in membership has
ever been secured on account OF the
lack of active field work.
The matter Of extending the So
c;ety's usefulness by increasing
membership and changing the mode
of securing members was taken un'
der advisement and plan adopted
which will be published in full lat
er. This in the main looks to secur,
ing a permanent endowment, 80
that the society may become inde'
pendent of small annual dues.
One of the main duties devolvine
on the society by law is the sugges'
ton of suitable legislation. The SO:
ciety reafrmed its belief in the res
ident hunters license as the only
practical means Of enforcing bird
and game protection, and will ask
the general assembly to reconsider
it's action and pass such license.
Recent events have strengthened
the society's determination to Sc
cure for the farmers Of the State
the protection for their crops and
lands, to which they have always
been entitled, and which they have
never received from the general as
sembly.
For the present there has been nc
change in the officers, outside of the
president. James Henry Rice was re-
elected secretary. ~ -.
The treasurer's a'eporss showed
small balance to the credit of the
