(By Margaret Hubbard Ayer.)

(By Margaret Hubbard Ayer)
To spank or not to spank-that IS
the dilemma which confronts the con-
scientious educator of the young.
Whether it is better to use moral
suasion and let the child spoil, or re-
store the rod, as advocated by Profess
sor Frank McMurray, with a possibil-
ity of stunting and terrifying the SEN
sibilities of the sensitive little plant
who may be sitting side by side with
a future Lefty Louie, who needs the
ferrule badly, is the question.
mo two children are on the same
plane of evolution; that is why it is
impossible to apply the same rule TO
all of them said Mrs. Everard Ham
lin, who was a teacher herself beA~re
her marriage, and who is well ac-
quainted with the problems of the
modern educator.
Mrs. Hamblin is handsome woman
interested in her former work.
Affects Each Differently.
Take the child who has an intense
nature, infiict corporal punishment On
that child and you will raise verit-
able demon of fury and revenge. Take
the sensitive child, beat it and you
may crush out the little dicker of
spirit which it needs to fight out its
future battles with and make it an
apathetic, crushed little morsel of
humanity.
But the youngster who is still half
animal expects a whipping, accepts II
without rancor and as matter OF
course.
HE is still on low plane and
would not understand an appeal 70
his higher nature as the other two
would
"Of course, he may suddenly evolve
break his shell of indifference and de-
velop into something finer and more
sensitive, and the teacher must know
how to appeal to his higher stand
ards"

teacher with all the things they have

TRACT THOUSANDS.
MANY PROMINENT SPEAKERS
City of Memphis is Making Great Pre-
parations to Entertain Visitors
to Laymen's Convention.

Memphis, Tenn, February IL
(Special.) 1.-The reports that are com

cate a record attendance at the Lay
mems Convention to be held In this
city February 1920, 1913.
Memphis is making great prepare
lions for this gathering of the lay
men from all over the South. Repre-
sentatives will come from as far east
as Baltimore, and as far west as New
Mexico. 1t is expected that the con-
Vention auditorium will be taxed to its
utmost capacity. To provide for the
crowds expected and for the benefit OF
friends in Memphis auxiliary meet
ings will be held in a church just
across the street each evening.
The Laymen's Movement.
1t will be recalled that this move
ment began in a prayer meeting OF
business men in New York City on
November Is, 1906 1t is movement
of the business men Of all Protestant
churches, who realize that it is the
whole business of the whole church
ITO preach the whole gospel to the
whole world and who have banded
themselves together to accomplish
this task in our generation.
1t is not new missionary society,
nor does it send out missionaries. 1t
coll cts no funds and administers
none. 1t is a movement to enlist the
farmer, the business and professional
mantle money makers-ln the mis-
sionary campaign by arousing their
interest and directing their energies.
their prayers, gifts and services TO
the evangelization of the world. And
this it aims to do through the regu-
ilarly established agencies of the
church
1t seeks to gain for the kingdom
that ability and acumen, which have
made this country to roll in wealth.
lin order that the Kings business
may be aggressively and adequately
conducted to completion.
The officers of the Southern Pres
byterian branch of the movement
are:
Mr.. Charles A. Rowland, Athens,
Ga, chairman; Br. H. W. Malloy, Co
lumbia, s. c., vice chairman; DR.. M.
MICH. Hull, Atlanta, Ca, recording
secretary: Mr. H. H. Linton, Athens,
Ga. treasurer.
The conventions of the movement
have been marked by great power in
the past and the present convention
is expected to be no exception.
Many Distinguished Men.
Seldom have so many prominen.
men been gathered together as will
appear at this convention. A number
of special features have been arrang-
ed as will appear below:

can get it on the mailing list in order
that you can get the pamphlet of in
structions as soon as possible. Do NOT
neglect this; attend to 1t at once. IL
there is a demonstration agent in your
county he will stop by your school
soon and make you a talk on corn
growing, and also aid the boys all he
can, cooperating with your county
school superintendent to make the
boys corn club mean the most possi-
BILE.
Ii you could have been among the
number who enjoyed the opportunity
offered by the short course at the Coll
lege of Agriculture at Athens the first
of January, / am certain you would
put forth every effort possible to be-
able to have this same privilege. Now,
van Guy " yOu that we are uOlDB all
we can to arrange it SO at least one boy
from each county in our territory can
have this opportunity / believe every
boy who attended this course will tell
you that they derived more good from
being there than from several times
that much money in hand. Then there
will be other inducements offered 10
you a little later on. Then, do not for
get the fact that causing two ears Of
corn to come from apiece of soil that
has been producing only one, and per-
haps less, should be big inducement
to us, as well as the other things that
may be offered on the outside. We are
teaching ourselves what we can do for
ourselves by our own efforts, and then.
too, we are showing the other fellow
who does not believe 1t can be done,
So then get your name In at once and
when YOU have started stay through to
the end, and do your best III the efgort.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.

For Sheriff.
/ hereby announce myself candi-
date for Sheriff OF Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of w. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ca, will be my
deputy.
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested us to add
a third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the Jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration. we have decided that Sum-
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the Jail and prisoners i'm
portant enough for some one to be on
duty +here all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr.. j.
b. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.

ing just where each pupil stood and
what his or her nature was like" I
interposed. Really, people expect
too much of the educators OF the
'S young i1is.~" know some who study day
and night just to keep up with their
classes"
Some Never Get a Chance.
THAT is one great trouble with the
,, schools they are all overcrowded, and
teachers never get a chance to study
the character of each individual
child" Mrs. Hamlin went on briskly.
mo two children are alike, and in
the ideal school the teacher would
have time and oportunity for charac-
ter study and she could make the
punishment fit the crime and the nat
ure of the unruly little member.
why, it's absurd to think of melting
out the same kind of punishment TO
an entire roomfui of children, even If
they had all misbehaved.
Difference of Light and Dark
For instance, do you realize the
difference in character between the
| light-haired child and the black-hair-
ed one? No? Well, the blond child IS
descended from outdoor races The
spirit of freedom and unrest is in the
blond child, for every lght-haired
race lives out of doors. The Celts,
the SaXons, the Teutons, Norwegians
and Swedes all live more out of doors
than do the dark-haired races and
their descendants.
"The light-haired children in
schol are restless, figety and often
peevish if they are cooped up too
long at a time"
Then you wouldn't punish the
blond runaway as hard as the bru-
nette truant?" | inquired.
well, that would depend upon the
character of the offender and the Of
Tense. But should take into consid-
Grafton that light-haired tendencies
all pointed toward liberty and ouc-
door life and so make extenuating
| circumstances necessary.
"A very successful teacher of a boy :
class was clever woman who never
had to resort to severe punishment
She appealed to the chiyalry of the
boys, and she happened to succeed.
"She was always very we'll dressed
and her manners in the classroom
We're as distinguished as if she were
a queen holding court.
"She admitted that it was often dif-
ficult to be polite and said that if she
had appeared once with a rumpled
shirtwaist, soiled boots or badly man.
toured nails the boys would have
found out that she was merely an or
binary person and would treat her as
such.
with some children kindness, gem
tleness and sympathy, will bring out
| the best.
Those children are on a higher
plane of evolution, but there are al
ways a few in every classroom who
would benefit by the rod if applied by
wise person.
| But the ideal teacher would be IN
almost impossible paragon of wisdom,
| justice, kindness and intuition.
There are a few and the rod win
be safer in their hands"
