Enthusiastic patrons pronounce the

that the program was entirely credit

grade contest, on Friday night, and
the young men and women who took
part in the graduating exercises, on
Monday night, reflected hard training,
excellent poise and self-possession.
The ninth grade contest was held on
Friday night, the 28th. At this time
nine representatives of the ninth grade

of gold hat pins, by Addie Lucille Pear
son, with the subject, "Our Pilgrim An
cestors." The judges made honorable
mention of Fannie Mae Chalmers. Her
subject was Return of Regulus."
The annual sermon was preached
by Rev: E. ]. Gregg, of Rock Hill, him
self a former principal of Hoge school,
Sunday morning at II o'clock, in Mil
Ter chapel His text was taken from
Luke 2:52, "And Jesus increased in
wisdom and stature, and in favor with
God and man" His discourse, "The
Ideal Character" was mastery, yet
a clear and simple presentation.
The graduating exercises were held
on Monday night. At this time ten
young people, were given certificates
of graduation. The salutatory was de-
livered by Benjamin Franklin Stewart,
the valedictory by Ruth Dewey Beech
er. Other speakers and their subjects
were as follows: "The Value of a
Good Character" Marion Elizabeth
stoney; Education and Progress" :"
Simon Walter Allen, Jr.; "Tne Negro
of the Present" Robert Simpkins, ,Jr.;
"The Choice of Vocation" Hattie
Bell Baker; Carve Out Your Own
Fortune" Elizabeth Sheppard.
The annual oration was delivered by
Rev. Gregg, his subject being 'Woca-
tional Training" He held that many
men have an avocation, but few a Voca-
ton. Every one should have a def
mite vocation, so as to be able to care
for himself and earn a living. Booker
Washington is right in emphasizing
special training. The high school does
not prepare for a special vocation, Civ
ing only the foundation. We should
strive to do some one thing well. Few
can do many things, and many fail
to do one thing successfully. The
speaker deprecated the fact that many
girls marry for support, instead Of
pursuing course that would make
them independent Take time for
preparation and avoid "short cuts"
No one can choose vocation for the
young people who are going out Of
our schools. They must choose for
themselves. This choice should be de-
-termined by temperament, by the de-
mands of the age in which we live, by
a study of the people among whom we

Preachers Versus Picture Shows.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The moving picture show has sprung
up in hamlet, town and city in re-
sponse to popular demand to be
entertained and instructed. 1t fur
nishes a wholesome amusement to a
large class of people who had here
tofore been denied the privileges it
affords. 1t attracts attention and at
tendance from other places whose
moral influences are not so good 1t
is true that at some shows the scenes
thrown on the screens are not pleas
ant or elevating, but if the patron is
discriminating and patronizes, only
such shows as are known to be un-
Objectionable, there is possibility
for an entertaining and a profitable
evening not afforded by any other form
of amusement. Would the preachers
be serving the best interests of their
people by stunning the moving pic
ture show, thereby indicating that the
amusement they afford is of an un-
wholesome character, or would it not
be better for them to lend their infu-
ence to the maintenance of these
places for the pleasurable occupation
of the people and thus give encourage
ment the progressive refinement of the
shows? AS a form of popular diver
sion for the family the moving picture
has become a powerful influence in
keeping the home circle together. The
attitude which the preachers should
assume toward the moving picture en-
tertainment affords ground for an in
teresting discussion For one, the OBJ

The clipping is as follows:
The British Navy.


The spectacular character of the
German submarine campaign, culmi-
mating in the destruction of the Lusi-
tania, has blinded many people to the
real achieyents of the British navy in
preserving the economic position of
Great Britain during the war, and in
imperiling that of its enemies.
At the very outbreak of the hostili-
ties the German merchant feet van
ished from the sea; with its vessels
shut up in German harbors or in those
of neutral nations, it still remain use
less to the empire. The blockade that
the allied governments have declared
against German ports has been effect
lively carried out by British wars'hips-
atl east as far as the North Sea ports
are concerned. The isolation of Ger
many is not complete, for there must
still be some trading with Scandina-
Wan ports across the Baltic Sea; but
beyond question the Gordon Of British
cruisers has cut of from Germany al
supply of war material and foodstuffs
that would be of the greatest value
to the empire. The desperation with
which. the Germans have waged their
retaliatory submarine campaign proves
that.
One by one the German commerce
destroyers that were at large when the
war broke out have been captured,
sunk, or driven into neutral harbors
Under the conditions that have pre-
vailed in former wars, British com
merce could proceed today in litter
indifference to the fact that the nation
is engaged in a terrible war.
Only against the submarine mas the
British navy found no satisfactory de-
tense; but the novelty and the dra-
matte yiciousness of the attacks of the
submarines have made their exploits
seem more remarkable than t2ey real
ly are They have sunk about seventy
British merchant vessels in ten
months; but during a single year Of
the war of 1912, American cruisers
and privateers took or sunk 639 Britis2,
ships, and that at time when British
commerce was much smaller than 1t is
today. Economically considered, tie,
Yankee privateer of a hundred years
ago was far more dangerous than the
German submarine of today. The
normal annual loss to the British mer-
chant marine by peril of wind and
wave is probably greater than the peril
of the submarine torpedo
Finally, the German high-sea feet,
like its merchant fleet, has felt obliged
to keep to- it's fortified i1arbors; the
British navy is too strong for it to
risk a battle. And still England in
concert with France can spare vessels
enough to make very serious attack
on Constantinople. That campaign still
hangs in the balance, but the allies
believe that it will succeed. On the
whole, the British feet. by performing
successfully the duty vita which it is
charged-tne protection Of the eco
nomic welfare of the island kingdom
even under the stress of a mighty war
has well repaid the nation for the
great sums spent on it.
