EDUCATES EMPLOYEES
Fine Work of Textile Industrial In
stitute in Spartanburg.

Commerce Reports, the new publ
cation issued daily by the bureau OF
foreign and domestic commerce, con-
tains a story of interest in this section.
It is entitled "Half-Time School in
Cotton Mill Town" 1t is as follows:
"In September, 1911, the Textile In
dustrial institute was opened in Spar
tanburg, S. c., in the heart OF the
Southern manufacturing district, for
the purpose of discovering, training
and placing practical men and women
as leaders among the half million cot
ton mill operatives. The institute ad-
dresses itself to the task of furnish
inc a class of young men of high moral
character and special training, W'-o
shall rise to positions of influence and
intelligent leadership as superintend-
ents and overseers in the mills, while
it's young women graduates are being
trained to establish such homes as
will challenge their less fortunate ac-
uuaintances to do likewise.
BY a system of half-time alterna-
ton between work in TIE mill and
class room duties the institute dis
covers the fttest young men ana
women and affords opportunity for
self support. The training consists OF
thorough grounding in the common
branches. accompanied by religious IN
struction and sociological studies, and
practical work in textiles and home
making The instruction is largely IN
dividual in character, and every EFFORT
is made to promote initiative and self
development. The principal OF O@e
school is a practical mill man, who Is
able to supervise the theoretical slde
of the work in the school as well
as the practical work in the mill. IHe
home-making course for girls includes
practical lessons in cooking and sew
inc. with informal lectures on mousse
keeping, sanitation, home nursing, per-
sonal attractiveness, Identification OF
premises kitchen gardening, poultry
raising, etc.
There is a well-defned demand IN
the mill communities for men and Wo-
men fitted with the preparation al
forded by the institute, and the sue
cess of the experiment seems assured
TIE institute is financed by private
contributions and subsidies from Ihe
mills and other corporations. There IS
hearty cooperation on the part OF COL
ton mill presidents and tceir several
corporations, which have, with the con-
sent of tie stockholders, assessed
themselves three cents a spindle TO as

ing of the institute, at the same time

OUR SCHOOL GARDEN
AT TOMBSTONE ACADEMY

Last fall, in November, our princi-
pal, Miss Lizzie Neel, had the school
garden broke up. Sne inteded to begin
t. garden at that time, but on ac-
count of the heavy rains that contin-
ued t>rough the winter it was not
planted until in February. Then, with
the help cf the school children, she
sowed mustard, turnips radishes, let
tuce and set out fifty cabbage plants.
Chickens belonging to colored man
living near the school house ate up
part ofthem: but with careful work
t:ey grew out and the garden is look
ing fine at present
Last fall the children also helpcd
dig a deep :rench which was flied
with stable manure and oak leaf
much. Here the teacher sowed sweet
peas. A row of lilies in front of tae
sleeps add to the beauty of the we'll
kept school yard. In the flower garden
there were 12 cose bushes bought and
set out in February. There are also
violets, jonquils, verbena, lilies, Eas-
ter lilies.
The children take delight in their
garden and flowers and it is scared
by our very efficient teachers. They
encourage the pupils by taking an in
terest in the work themselves. No
fault can be found in the school yard
for cleanliness.
When it is time to set out tomatoes,
peppers and potatoes they will be add
ed to the gardee 1t is hoped that
enough will be raised in the school
garden for a canning club demon
stration. I might add here that when
Miss Willie Mae Wise visited the school
to organize tomato club every giri
. old enough joined and all except two
of them have tomato plants enough D
set out the one-tenth of an acre.
This is something We have been
wanting, and l am sure it is going to
be a great success. Johnstone has
one of the very best teachers in South
Carolina, thoroughly awake to the
best interest of her scsool, and If the
canning club and the school garden
is not a success it will assuredly not
be because she does not try to get her
pupils to take an interest in the work.
Miss Wise also is doing noble
work in organizing canning clubs, and
she should have the cooperation OF
every patron of the school. Many
girls marry and have never even
canned a can of fruit, made a glass
of Jelly nor a can of preserves; hardly
know how to put up can of pickles.
But with the clubs they enjoy learning
and profit by what they learn. l think
both are just grand.

THREE BIG BATTLES
BROUGHT BY SPRING
SUPREME EFFORT OF. ALLIED
FORCES STILL TO CONE.
German Attack Around YpreS De-
scribed as One of the Fiercest
OF the War.

Although spring has failed to bring
the long expected "big effort, of the
allies against tie German lines in
France and Belgium, it has furnished
three of the most desperate engage
ments of the war.
The first was at Nueve Chapelle'
where. in three days fighting comolneo
losses numbered 80 900 or more, WITH
victory resting on the British arms
The second was southeast of Ypres'
when the British captured mill NO. oo.
This involved the most furious klpo
of fighting and after the hill was taken
a bombardment by the Germans IoI
several days.
Then, bringing up heavy reinforce
ments, the Germans began an attack
around Ypres, witch is described as
one of the fercest of the war. INls
movement was partly in the nature OF
a surprise and the allied lines were
pushed back for considerable us
tance. Some of this ground has been
regained, and according to Paris, the
Germans not only have been checked
but the Belgians, British and FRENCH
bv determined counterattacks, continue
to force their adversaries back.
The Germans are reported still to be
employing bombs containing gas form
ing chemicals, and their use is admit
ted and justified by the Berlin press
one Berlin newspaper asserting tna'
bombs of a similar nature have been
employed by the French and British
The full force of tie German at
tack is being directed against the
British front from several directions
and here the Canadian troops, who al
ready had distinguished themselves by
brilliant counter attacks when the Ger
mans swept the Frenc1 line back, are
bearing the brunt of the battle.
With 100000 men on the continent
announced recently by the British
chancellor of the exchequer, reinforce
ments doubtless have been hurried
forward to fill tee gaps in the British
lines.
In one of the its infrequent bulletins
the Belgian legation at London an
nounces that the town of Tiberns, west
of the Ypres canal, which was cap
tured by the Germans Friday night
has been retaken by the French and
Belgian troops and tat the Belgian
artillery has been engaged in duel
with the German batteries the whole
length of the Belgian front.
The Carpathian situation remains
with no notable change.
German newspapers insist that TIE
German feet has been cruising in the
North Sea- According to these pub
lisned reports, the German feet has
been "yainly seeking the British fleet.
TIE position of Italy with respect
to the war remains as it has from the
beginning-one of armed and watch
full neutrality"

where operations are virtually impos

ditions, the Germans transferred
large number of troops to the west t.

they are not content to rely on
passive policy.
1t is believed that 100000 new
German troops taye reached Flanders
and that more guns and material ar
to be used than were provided for
the original attempts to destroy TT
allied armies in the west, attempts
which met with failure both in AT
gust and in October.
In the meantime the eastern frort
is enjoying a period of comparative
calm, except in the mid-Carpataians,
where the Russians continue to attae:
the Austrians. In Uzsok pass and<to
the eastward, where the Austrian:
and Germans are trying to crush tha
Russian flank, both sides report sue
cesses.
Operations in the Dardanelles sti.
