a GODD SCHOOL
FOR EVERY CHILD;
EVERY CHILD IN SCHOOL.
A su gestion from Stat Supervisor
of Ru al Schools to The Coun ry
Teachers, Trustees, Parents
and Sc:ocl Children.

The country schools Of our state are
now beginning the session of 1'1l-
1912. lii my visits among these
schools I find only cne.third to one
hals of the children III attendance
The fields are white with cotton to be
picked and I realize tie difficulty, aud
in many cases the imposs;Oility, OF
putting a!l the children in school at
the beginning Of the session. Allow
me 10 make a suggestion which grows
out Of my own experience as boy on
the farm, eager to enter school st the
beginning of the term, but unable to
do SO becauae Of the pressing farm
work.
Let every parent see that the child
rem are at the school at least one Gay
during the first week for classification.
The ambitious boy can then get his
books and, in many cases, can do
enough work at home to enable him
to enter his class Without serioas loss
when the farm work is Gone and he
can attend school regularly. There are
many days when ne cannot work On
the farm, On these days he can 80
to school and get assistance Oh points
of difficulty.
ss.Let every country school, teacher IN
the State make q list OF ali pupils
of school age in her district and en-
deavor to get everyone to attend
school this year. A little personal
work with parents and children will
yield rich harvest, and broader ac-
quaintance with your people will make
the work in the schools itself less diff
cult. Let US do all our power to help
the pupil who is at work and trying to
study at home.
Let every school trustee in the State
lend the weight Of his influence to Sc
cure this year the best country school
attendance in the history Of S>uth
Carolina. In this way you will not
only make better and mole efficient
men and women of the children wEo
attend school this year, but you will
also increase your school apportion-
ment for nexJyear. Let US adopt for our
WatchWord in South Carolina for this
year: A Good School for Every Child;
Every Child in School.
Just word to the boy who works.
The same grit and determination
which makes you do your work well,
will enable you to surmount the diff.
culties you find in your books. If you
cannot enter school now, get your
books, and by little home study each
day try to keep pace with your class.
Nearly all the men who have achieved
success have surmounted difficulties
in acquiring an education.

SHOES FOR LONG TRAMPs
Highly important Part of Equipment
When Girl contemplates
"Roughing It."

Girls who have had little experience
in outdoor life often do some foolish
things when they begin to try this
form of enjoyment. One way in which
many of them interfere with their own
comfort is by going on tramp with
the wrong kind Of shoes.
A girl who has played tennis and
found the soft, rubber soled shoes
comfortable will think that they will
surely help her to enjoy tramp; but
they are the last thing to wear for a
long walk. as these girls have found
to their cost. They come home with
their feet aching and the calves Of the
legs tired out from the lack Of the
spring that is given by heels. Walk
ing with a fiat. heelless shoes on
rough road is extremely trying, and
one can feel every stone through the
soft rubber soles.
Quite as bad as the tennis shoes are
low shoes with thin soles and high
heels. These tire the feet and may
sprain the ankles. The only shoes
that are really satisfactory for trough
ing it" are strong high shoes with
thick soles. The strongest ankles need
support in rough walking. and 1t is
often wet in the woods. The girl who
has once tried the two ways of tramp
ing will never again be persuaded to
wear low or thin shoes.

very low. You still think did that?

against the door-frame.

think that 1 might have killed you!'
And then-he stopped and suddenly
kissed me.
The next moment the door was
open. and he was leading me d0Wl
into the house. At the foot OF the
staircase he paused, still holding my
hand, and faced me in the darkness

wrenched my hand loose. He stepped
back to let me pass. and went down

BAG FOR DRESSES OR HATS
Makes for Comfort In Travelling, and
Also Preserves the Articles
Enclosed.

A scheme which gi' i find
great comfort in any r ahere she
has insufficient closet .ce Is a bag
to hold her hat or be ess. In travel
ing it is well to t; 20 one or more of
these bags. and in d camp they are al
most indispensable. A girl can very
quickly make all she wants Of them.
and If she wants to ecepqmize space
they can be made of silkoline, which
folds up into the smallest kind OF a
package. is light in weight and very in
expensive.
For hat. make a bag three-quar-
ters of a yard deep and half yard
wide, with drawing string at the top.
The bag is hung up by this string and
the hat is kept free from dust and out
of the way. This measurement is for
a hat OF ordinary size; If your hat is
an unusually large one the bag must
be larger.
For dress the bag should be about
five inches longer than the dress IT.
self, the width being little more than
enough to slide the dress in easily.
When camping it is best to put ones
travelling dress and hat into these
bags and leave them there, for they
are seldom wanted until one Is ready
to leave. In making the bags for camp
ing there are some advantages in u.s.
ing cretonne instead Of silkoline. Be-
ing so much thicker. it keeps out the
dampness better. and it is often damp
enough in tent to have rather dis
astrous effect on hat.

VARIETY IN MENUS.

The one great bugbear of menu max
ne Is sameness. The endeavor OF the
housewife to produce attractive meals
with a certain allowance and have va
riety, means some thoughtful plan
ming. She who has an unlimited pock-
etbook need have little worry, but to
the majority of women the problem
of making ends meet and serving at
tractive, appetizing and nourishlns
food is daily question.
Everything is high this year, even
the plebian potato is too exclusive for
everyday use. We must learn to use
rice and hominy instead. The ola
proverb which tells us that there Is
no loss without some gain" is proven
m rs. as we learn to substitute many
foods for those which we have always
considered indispensable.
The great criticism made OF Amerl-
cans, and justly, is that we eat TOO
much Our meals should be simpler
