TO OUR SCHOOLS-GREET-
INGS.

To the graded schools which en-
tered yesterday upon the work of a
new session, as we'll as to the schools
the county which have
of late been opening every week, The
Lancaster News extends its best
wishes. We hope that the efforts Of
teachers and pupils will from the be-
ginning be well directed, earnest and
intelligent. SO that no time may be
lost and that the work in every in
stance may be prosecuted with as
great facility as possible. TO this
end the Incorporation of parents must
be given. If they will see to it that
certain hours are devoted to study
and nothing is allowed to interfere
with these study periods. they will
be conferring kindness upon the
teacher, no less than upon the child.
Ineducation as we'll as in any other
undertaking, there is demand for
methodical work. If certain hours
are designated and the pupil is train
ed to conform to these hours, much
more profitable will the study
become.
We beg, moreover. that thorough
ness become the desideratum, that 4
clear knowledge of a few subjects be
striven for rather than a superficial
tendency merely to cover a certain
course. May the practical lessons,
the necessary preparation for life
take the place of those branches
which require equal application yet
sive less return for the time and ef-
fort expended. In this practical age
there is little use for those things
which do not tend directly towards
fitting pupils for life work. We
urge, therefore, that first things be
given first place and that the un-
necessary be eliminated. The grad
ed school system holds many advant-
ages over other systems but the ten
dency towards "cramming" must be
watched lest the end for which
the grading was designed be hope
lessly frustrated. This by way of
warning for the danger signals have
already been seen afar.
We assure all who are concerned
that teachers, pupils, trustees and pa
irons have our sincere interest. We
have the future welfare of the coun-
ty, state and nation nour heart and
mind and we hope that the work now
beginning may result in the greatest
good to the greatest number.

Our cotton farmers had better
realize that the boil weevil will soon
be a reality in South Carolina. They
are now operating over a consider
able territory in Alabama and are
beginning to make :heir appearance
in Georgia. The only successful way
to fight the pest 10 to plant other
things besides cotton aud when they
get here they will find themselves
without anything to eat. This is an
additional reason for cutting out
cotton. Don't wait until the weevil

THE PREPAREDNESS MOST
NEEDED.

The term preparedness" has
during recent months been applied SO
frequently to the strength of nations
and their readiness to protect them-
selves in time of war that many per-
haps have not thought how much
greater is the need OF preparedness
for daily life, The Spartanburg
Journal emphasizes the importance
Of this preparedness for life in the
following editorial: $50
"There Is, no end of talk just now
about Germany's marvellous prepara-
ton 70 war, her amazing thorough
ness of organization and about our
own duty to at least be something
more prepared than we are against
attack.
But whether any child of ours is
ever to witness the tragedy Of war or
not, he is certainly destined, II he
lives to witness and participate in the
battle OF life. Now, observe that the
very first element and foundation of
the German preparedness consists in
the education of 99.5 per cent of her
people. Here in South Carolina one
fourth of the voters could not sign
In Germany only one-half Of one per
cent of the people are in such case.
Think of that-25 per cent here
against a half of one per cent over
there. Right here you have the Sc
cret of Germany's astounding eff
cheney as a nation. Her people are
first Of all educated and then on that
you can build other things.
"Send your children to school next
Monday-all of them old enough,
keep them there regularly, show
them that you believe in the business
in dead earnest, sustain the efforts
Of the teachers and thus get results
out of the effort. For those children
and for the community this is the
most vital business going on from
day to day. The Germans have been
keen enough to see this and resolute
enough to act accordingly. Must we
sit down and confess them a people
inherently greater than ourselves?
Remember, the real greatness of
Germany began when she set out to
destroy illiteracy and did it to within
half of one per cent. Remember
that in South Carolina 25 per cent
still confronts us. Let us have done
with so shameful a neglect and
weakness"

If there is, in reality, such thing

PRACTICAL WAY OF

OF course. foods that are not tasty,

food. should not be used as poultry
feed. even though they contain all the
desired elements Of nutrition. Fowls

ferent forms may be change to them
and yet contain the same nutrients.

balanced ration because he fed corn.

A balanced ration for one flock may
be too narrow or too wide for another.
By narrow and wide we mean the
proportion Of protein. the flesh and

with the carbohydrates. the fat, heat
and energy-making elements. A good
proportion for an average flock 10 one
