Compulsory School Attendance

The legislature OF 1915 passed a
local option compulsory school atten-
dance law, allowing the people of
each district to decide upon IT'S opera
tion in their school.
Progressive teachers and trustees
are urged to cooperate In utilizing
this law in order to show that school
folk believe in the principle and are
willing tc use whatever opportunities
the lawmakers furnish.
Anderson county contains sixty
seven school district During the
scholastic year 1914. fifty-six OF
these districts had voted a local tax.
There are eight state-aiIed hign
schools and thirty-two sta'"-aideu
rural graded schools. Sixteen dis
tricts also receive term extension
aid.
The residents of each of these dis
tricts have proved their interest lie
the education Of their children Dy
voting local tax. Interested patrons
have already put their children in
school. Careless and disinterested
parents should no longer be permit
ted<to keep their boys and girls out
of school, and thus deny to them ad-
vantages Of public school education.
II is probable that ninety per cent
of the children from eight TO four
teen years Of age are already IN
school. The remaining ten per cent
should be put In school, or should De
able TO give satisfactory reason Tor
their non attendance.
Tho introduction Cf the compulsory
law may be secured in one of three
ways:
/. Upon the written petition Of q
majority OF the qualified electors oil
any school district, compulsory at
tendance may be secured without an
election.
2. Upon the written petition oi
one fourth of the qualified electors
of any district, the people residing
in such district may secure an cleo
ton unon the question. II a majori-
ty Vote favorably upon the question
OF compulsory attendance, the law
becomes operative.
3. In incorporated towns with q
population CT fifteen hundred. tho
board of trustees may ask for an
election, and a majority vote Of the
people of the district viii establish
the principle.
This course may be followed In the
cities cf Anderson, Honca Path, Bel
ton and Williamson. The trustees OF
these four districts might we'll give
their patrons :. right to decide this
question.
All petitions shoull be circulate.
during the month OF April In order
that they may be checked as early as
possible in May. All elections must
be held on the second Tuesday IN

DIR. JNo. +. VINES, PASTOR.

One may not always agree with q
strong man. but even IL the conyic-
tions expressed by man who is
strong and has real convictions are
hot in keeping with what one thinks,
one cannot but feel deep respect for
fies when he has the temerity 10 ex-
press convlctiohs counter to those
generally held by the people OF the
community. The world needs strong
men to do its thinking and to lead
those who are and always will be
followers. Not every man with strong
convictions and broad ideas occupies
4 position which enables him 10 be
heard, or to impress upon his com
muni,y the Importance of his progress
sive principles. In Anderson there is
a strong man who has strong con-
yictions and who has the temerity tc
express them. He has made many
friends by so doing, and few en-
emies, but tho enemies n man makes
many tliieS 10 uH iuuiCdtiou VI the

and = a good pastor, beloved by his
conf .gation. Coming to Anderson
almost a decade ago from the State
of Tennessee, a graduate OF Carson
Newman College, and of the Baptist

worker. he has made an impress upon
this community. AS president of An

ability to organize, and since that
time he has been instrumental in
furthering the cause of education in
every way possible. A strong think

the tenderness of woman, and the
large audiences which hear his SER

ADsANTAGE OF GARDEN. !

In this mornings Intenigeneer
there appears one OF series of ar
tlcles prepared by the department OF
agriculture ON the advantages of a
vegetable garden. These articles are
prepared by experts and are full OF
good suggestions as to how to make
the garden q profitable adjunct of
every home. In addition to this de-
tailed information .willSbe given as to
how to plant and cultivate all the
vegetables. We trust that our read
ers will follow this series of articles,
and tnat every home In Anderson
County at least may have fine vege.
table garden. Much money can be
saved. and much more wholesome and
heaithful vegetables can be raised
than IL bought from the market. Then

Appetite Follows
Good Digestion

Nearly everyone indulges their
appetite and the digestive organs
are abusel. resulting In a conges-
ton of poisonous waste that clogs
the bowels and causes much mis-
cry and distress.
The most effective remedy to
correct this condition is the COM
bination OF simple laxative herbs
with pepsin. known as DR.. Cald-
Wells Syrup Pepsin. This is a
natural, pleasant-tasting remedy,
gentle yet positive in action, and
quickly relieves indigestion, con-
stipation, sick headache, belching.
etc. Drug stores sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin at fifty cents
and one dollar bottle, and in
thousands OF homes it is the indis-
pensable family remedy. For a.

questing an election cannot be delay
ed without danger. Applications from
the trustees CT districts containing
fifteen hundred Inhabitants should
be sent in 10 the county board Of ed
ucation before June lst iii order that
due notice of the proposed election
may be given TO the Soters.
Teachers and trustees in perhaps
a score OF districts in Anderson coun-
t. have enrolled practically every
child III their territory. Some of these
teachers and trustees assert that
compulsory attendance Is not needed
in their schools because it will net
bring in an additional papil.
Every such district is earnestly
| urged to assist the cause of public
education by putting the compulsory
attendance law in operation at once.
Their cooperation will prove the
practicability OF the statute.
The compulsory term for the
country schools will be four months,
the compulsory term for all town
| schools will last through the entire
session..
The local school improvement as
soclations in the various district car
render valuable service by taking Zip
this question. The women OF each
association are vitality interested In
the education OF their children. ii
the school improvement workers
would make n concerted effort in
| this connection during the next two
nlontha, they would render an In
valuable service to the public schools
Some districts may vote against
compulsory attenda :e just as few
backward districts nave consistently
! refused to vote local school tax.
Such districts are in the greates'
| need Of better schools. They are al
so in the greatest need OF more mon
i ey. Our failure to secure local tax
| in such neighborhoods Is deeply re-
gretted. but our educational leaders
have not given up the fight because
of this failure. A similar course with
respect 10 compulsory. attendance
will net be altogether successfui IN
these backward districts, but II
| should certainly succeed In the more
progressie communities where local
| iuterest in education has ALREADY
compelled the voting of local school
| tax.
For years Anderson county haa
ranked among the foremost leadefs
| of progressive education in South
ca, olina. l earnestly hope that this
record may be maintained in'the mat
ter Of compulsory attendance.
Any beard of trustees, teacher, OF
school Improvement association In
terested, in the question should Ct ~
municate promptly with the county
superintendent or wit hthe Safe SUI

 Rose Tree Bioomed at Christmas.
 A pretty story of a rose which bloomed at Christmas in front of some trenches occupied by German regi- ment of guards in France is told in the Frankfurter Zeitung. The rose bush was growing in huge hole torn by shell in front of the guards trenches. The little plant soon be- came the jealous care of every man of the company before whose trench it grew. To their intense delight, on Christmas eve the rose tree bloomed. The coYspany decided to send the rose to the emperor. The kaiser was de- lighted and promptly ordered the poet, Richard Voss, to write a poem about the incident. The poem has now
