high school now. The senior high
school class has SO members, of whom
go are girls. There is larger num-
ber in this class than was graduated
from the grades to the high school
four years ago. Principal E. B. Cau-
thorn attributes the large class to the
new courses and the six new teachers
added last year and to the teachers
training course, which fifteen seniors
are taking. The largest class before
this was 66. Last years class num-
bered 55.
The manual training department is
a prominent feature this year. This
morning Mr.. Cauthorn gave two boys
in the class specifications for a book
cabinet to hold five new record books.
The boys take the specifications to the
mechanical drawing room and make
designs from which the cabinets will
be made in the shops. Recently the
boys made, at cost of $35, seven
tables for the domestic science room
in the Benton School which would
cost at retail S24 each. They also
made two tables for the commercial
one for the principals
room and seven for grade rooms.

man the other day, Really was sur
prised at the class of stores and their
citified style, and the windows equal
those of large city" Why shouldn't
the stores be up-to-date and equal
those of city Columbia can afford
to have conditions as much up-to-date
as any other town. And the windows
do equal those of large city. In fact
they far surpass many.
1t seems to be the universal idea
of a small town for the merchants to
do business on a small town scale. The
windows, the best statesmen the mer-
chant has, are the least looked after.
He leaves them in a rumpled condi-
ton. The articles that he displays
look as if the merchant had stood in
the back part of the store and throw
them in the window.
A clean show window, not over
crowded, and with a touch of the sea-
son, will attract the eye of the passer-
by. 1t will draw customers also. A
mans front yard is like a merchant
show window. Why can't We improve
)urs?

COLUMBIA HIGH GAINS AZ
Senior Class Has SO Members-MOre
Boys Than Girls in School.

The report which the city superin-
tendent of schools sent to the Board
of Education at its meeting Monday
night showed that 1851 pupils are en-
rolled in the city schools this year.
This is an increase of AZ over last
year-20 in the high school, 20 in the
grades and in the negro school.
In two grade schools there are more
boys than girls. The Grant School
has 20 more boys than girls and the
Benton School, 16. The total num-
Der of boys in the white schools Is
greater than the number of girls. The
negro school, with a total enrolment
OF All, has ITO in the first grade.

were s1,539. and the salary of the 5S
teachers was S3,S87.

The Open Column
Se!f-AdmiratiOn Societies.

Editor The Missourian:-Peop
who can, do; those who can't or who
can but who haven't the confidence in
| themselves to take the gambler s
chance, join mutual self-admiration
society. That is why We often hear
We're a congenial bunch of fellows"
or 1--WE girls all love one another"
But that is not all. They combine
in one big self-aggrandizement coun-
ell to which each smaller group elects
representatives. They choose the per-
son who can say the incest things
about their members, and when the
higher officers of the greater councils
are elected, the word ceases to be self
admiration and becomes egoism.
What becomes of the one who takes
the chance? Few folks know him. He
doesn't wear the badge of ancient de-
sign marked with queer hieroglyphics.
He seldom appears in what is known
as "the better society" He hasn't
time, he is trying to make the best of
the chance he took.
What is his ambition? To become
leader worthy of his title, a person
whose advice is sought and who is able
to give it unselfshly.
What is his reward? Nothing here.
What is it elsewhere? The same moth
ing. Why? When he was plugging
along by himself, when his disappoint-
ments were so great, he forgot his am
bition. He became a grind. His
knowledge became abnormal. He
comes to realize that he knows more
han most people. He becomes selfish.
He had better be dead.
So what are we to do? AS time goes
On there will be many more self-ad-
societies founded. Their
will include all of US.
Then will be the time for the man of
high ideals to revolt
But for the time being-"When in
Rome, join a fraternity" B.

WATER SPORTS HERE.

Apropos of the current see-Amer-
ica-first agitation throughout the coun-
try Columbians just now have a
splendid opportunity to begin their
travels right here at home. This city
offers exceptional opportunities ordi-
narily to be had only at large water
ing places. You may go canoeing,
wading, bathing, in fact enjoy nearly
every aquatic sport. Where? on Co
lumbia's sidewalks.
The good men who, built our side
walks, evidently with an eye to the
variety and cheapness of entertain.
ment afforded by water, constructed
them somewhat on the plan of the
Panama Canal. Now that the fall
rains are here the season is on. En-
joy it, for it is at your service.
If you would add little more dis
tincti0n to these pleasures, pretend
that you are in Venice enjoying a
night in a gondola. The fact that ugly
street lamps give way in many places
to soft rays of moonlight gives a real
istic atmosphere to this plan.
Should nothing else suit, you men
might follow the example of one who
was seen the other night busily but
happily engaged in carrying women
across the stretches of the deep.

THE LAST NOTE.

We have all heard the story about
how the British rise to their feet and
stand with barred heads while the band
plays God Save the King" And then
the speaker always tacks on the moral
by telling how the Americans on board
ship sat unconcerned, watching the
fishes swim past, while the band
played The Star Spangled Banner"
(This always happens on a steamer
Il came over on"
This story has become somewhat
worn by repetition, but it is having
the desired effect. More and more,
the American people are forming the
habit of standing respectfully while
the national anthem is being played.
OF course, no one would expect a man
to miss an owl car and walk twenty
five blocks just to Keep from walking
out of a music hall while THE Star
Spangled Banner" was being played.
But, there is no excuse, ordinarily, for
the disrespect a man shows when he
begins to push his way toward the
door before the air is finished.
And so it is with the singing Oh
"Old Missouri at mass meetings, or
on the bleachers after football games
One may say there is nothing to it.
But there is. 1t belongs to that list
Of finer qualities which go to make up
a gentleman. Really, there is nothing
to tipping ones hat to a woman One
could say Hello" to the same purpose,
without even touching the brim of
his hat. A mans mother is a woman.
Unconsciously, he pays respect to the
mother who nurtured him by tipping
his hat.
And so it is when we stand respect
fully while "Old Missouri" is being
played. We are paying respect to the
University which takes care of Us.
teaches us, when We have left oul
mothers care for the first time.
When "The Star Spangled Banner"
is played We stand in recognition of
the government which cares for us all.
1t won't do when speaking to a
woman to merely touch the brim of
ones hat with the fingers. 1t really
is disrespectful. The hat must be
raised from the head. 1t is just as dis
respectful to break away from the
crowd, even when the last stanza or
line of "Old Missouri is being sung.
Remain where you are. Stay until the |.
sound of the last note dies away. ;

The Literary Trawler
My Daily Desire.

To awaken each morning with a
smile Frightening my face; to greet
the day with reverence for the oppor-
tunities it contains; to approach my
work with a clear mind; to hold ever
before me, even in the doing of little
things, the Ultimate Purpose toward
which am working; to meet men and
women with laughter on my lips and
love in my heart; to be gentle and
kind and courteous through all the
hours; to approach the night with the
WEAKNESS that ever woos sleep and
the joy that comes from work we'll
done-this is how l desire to waste
wisely my days.-Thomas Dreier.

burg in the Race.

Orangeburg, May Fittings politi-
cal are beginning to engage the at
tention of the people Of Orangeburg
county, and il is possible hat Orange
burg will have two aspirants for State
office in the primaries this summer.
Capt James H. Clafy has already an
nounced his candidacy for adjutant
and inspector general. Capt Claffy has
long been identified with the military
affairs of this State and his expert
ence no doubt will fit him for the posi-
tion ne is seeking.
A rumor which has been pretty wide
ly circulated in this section is to the
effect that Andrew J. Hydrick, local
attorney, will be in the race for at
torney general, but so far as can be
learned, Mr.. Hydrick has not definitely
announced his inteEfion in the matter
Should he decide to enter the contest,
it is very likely that bo:h he and Capt
Claffy will be literally supported by
the voters of their home coun-y.
