THE eye has a habit of registering
the health. Thus a lack of lus-
a. ter, heavy lidded expression is
generally the result of excessive ia
tigue or ill-health; a dilated pupil
usually means fever; a yellowish tint
to the white of the eye bespeaks bill
liousness, while an extreme blush
ness of the white is often an indica-
ton of impure blood or a scrofulous
tendency.

First, if the day is fair get up
looking happy and bright; do all the
good you can; do your home duties
well and willingly. If you are at
tending school, go and don't see how
much you can worry your teachers;
see how good you can be and how
perfect your lessons can be.
If it is a gloomy or rainy day do
not be discouraged if you expect to
spend the day with one of your play
mates, but be bright and try to make
others happy, and you will be happy
yourself.
During the week if there is pray
er meeting at the church don't say:
Il don't think anyone will be there;
anyway, Pm not going" But 60
and try to get others to go. On Sun
days go to church and listen atten-
lively to what the minister is saying
and see if you can't get some benefit
from the sermon.
Next, let US consider education.
Education is all in a persons life.
Just think, our glorious State, South
Carolina, which is known far and
wide for its hospitality and refine
ment, is second in ignorance, North
Carolina being first.
Parents, in September when school
begins, try to send all of your chill
dren that are old enough. If new
building is needed and if sufficient
sums of money are not given, give eG1"
tertainments to raise it. The people
each day should try to make their
school one of the leading in South
Carolina.
Try to make the best of each day
as it come to US, for when it is gone
and we wish for it, we can but wish
in vain, for it has gone not to return.
AS the poet has wisely said:
1.-THE New Year some day,
When he's old and gray,
Will ask US what we have done
With the precious gifts of the year
gone by,
AS they come to US one by one.
May we tell him then with an answer
true,
When he puts US to test,
That with every gift he has brought us
We have tried to do our best?"
