for this kind of instruction, but the
supply of instructors is short. In our
own state, schools are seriously hamp-
cred in putting in these essential
courses by the lack of teachers for
them. The college has never had a
more urgent call from the people OF
the state for help than along these
lines. We will have facilities at the
college for training several hundred
teachers. In the six weeks time they
will get the kind Of training that will
enable them to make a good start In

Punch a Hole in That Tin Can.

To punch a hole in every tin can
which you throw away would be an
easy thing to do, yet at first thought
it would seem a useless job. How
ever if every person IA the city could
stick a hole in all cans which they
happen to throw away they would
render great assistance to the city
board of health, which is working to
improve the general health of the
city. The situation is this: Every
time a tin can or similar receptical
is thrown away, it becomes filled with
rain water and is the best kind of a
breeding ground for mosquitoes. 1t
is estimated that 100000 mosquitoes
(some estimate) can breed in a short
time in one little tin can of water.
Now imagine what pleasant sleep
YOU will have with bunch" of mos
quitoes enjoying a meal off you every
night.
The board of health desires that
you request your cook to see that a
neat hole is punched in every tin can
thrown from the kitchen.

Anderson Intelligencer.
Writing in The Herald and News, of
which he is the publisher, Col. Ebert
Aull, Of Newberry, says:
Eve have attended every State con-
vention since 1890. We made an ap-
pointment to attend a school exercise
for the evening Of the 10Th before we
thought of the State convention, and
will not call in that appointment. The
great need of this age is an awaken
ing of an interest in the country
schools"
Col. Aull, who is superintendent of
education in Newberry county, has
placed the country schools far above
any interest in politics, in this one
telling incident And it goes without
saying, he is right.
