MANUAL TRAINING

Just as the South's greatest need is
for industries. so its next requirement
is for industrial workers. The lack

1t occurred to me some time ago
that if an honor roll in the school
should be a good thing FOR the pupils.
If 1t had been demonstrated that 1t
was an Incentive to better work on
the part of the pupil If it had shown
to be stimulus to the child, why
would il not be a good thing to have
for the teacher? Some of them evil
IDENTITY need a stimulus as we'll as the

With this idea in mind. and with
the hope of accomplishing something
worth while for the cause We decided
some time ago to introduce this fea-
ture in the work of the schools in
this country. Accordingly we pre-
pared a auestionary and sent it 10

In accordance with it's policy OF

was built in 1892 to replace the one

extended as far as Jefferson's statue
today. and was occupied by class
rooms and administrative offices.
When the new rotunda was designed
II was decided to complete the inner

had conceived. and place the class
rooms in buildings along it. and to
redesign the rotunda more in ac-

architecture This was done; and It
is the present rotunda. together with
the newer buildings. such as Cabell

NOTABLE PROGRESS IN
TIMBER PRESERVATION
CHEMICAL TREATMENT TO PRE-
VENT DECAY ADVANCES DUR
ING 1918.

The most notable progress yet re
corded in the chemical treatment or
timber to prevent decay was MADE IN
1919. according to report recently is
su,.d by the American Wood Preservers'
association in cooperation with the
forest service of the department OF
agriculture.
The report states that ninety three
wood preserving plants In 1913 con-
sumed over los million gallons of creo-
sote oil, twentv-six million pounds of
dry zinc chloride. ana nearly four mil
lion gallons of other liquid preserva-
tives With these the plants treated
over 153 million cubic feet OF timber,
or about % per cent more than in 1872,
The output from additional plants un-
recorded would increase the totals
given.
pregnation of wood with oils and
chemicals to increase it's resistance TO
decay and insect attack. the report goes
on to say. Is an industry which has
become important In the United States
only In recent years. In Great Britain
and most of the European countries
practically every wooden crosstie and
t-:epl,.n. or t,i,,,arh nile receives
preventative treatn, at. IN the Unit ID
StaTes less than 81 per Cont OF he 1875
million crossties annually consumed
are treated. and the proper treatment
of an annual consumption OF four mill
lion poles may be said to have scarcely
commenced.
Real progress In the United States
dates from 1889. when the Kyanizing
process, using bichlorides OF mercury.
was developed. In 1897 two other pro-
cesses were introduced. the Burnett
process using zinc chloride. and the
Bethel process, using coal tar creosote.
These last processes are very largely
in use today.
The idea Of timber preservation at
nrst made very slow growth in this
country on account of the large sup
ply OF cheap and durable timbers and
the general disregard shown toward
economy in the use OF natural resources.
In 1885 there were only three pressure
plants in the United states, and In 1895
only hfteen. Since then. however, the
industry has grown rapidly; In 1919

1t would seem that, in the very
early days, though lights were pre-
scribed at Mass, they were placed
not upon but near the altar" Some
times the number of lights at Sol
emn Mass was very great, and the
candles then used were invariably
made of wax. Anglo-SaXon writer's,
such as Aelfric in his Tenth Canon,
gives reason for these lights. THE
acolytes," he says, light candles at
Mass, not so much to dispel darkness
as in honor of Christ, who is our
Light"
But enough has been said. The
candles were only symbols of Christ,
the true Light, whom our Lady st.
Mary bare spiritually in her heart and
bodily in her hands," on that first
feast of Candlemas long ago. Like
her, let us have a right faith and
true love to God and man." and when
we hold the lighted tapers in our
hands. let us bear in mind Him who,
as the old homily says, was in this
day borne to the Temple, who re-
deemed us to the Eternal Light, who
ruleth for ever and ever"
