An Accident.

On Wednesday morning about
$50 o'clock, Mrs. Matte Johnson
accidentally fell into a we'll near the
house in their back yard, it being
rs feet deep, walled with brick and
contained water to the depth of sew
eral feet.
She was drawing a bucket Of wa
ter and the top on the we'll not be-
ing securely fastened, it gave way
sliding off the back side of the well,
, causing her to lose her balance and
fall in. Her cries flor help we're
heard by her husband, who was in
the house, but the cries being indis-
tinct and thinking that it was a
neighbor's child crying he did not
pay much attention at first, but on
being contained he went to the
back door and at once discovered
that she was in the well. The alarm
was given and the neighbors hur-
ried to help in the rescue, but by
the time most of them got there
Mr.. Johnson, assisted by colored
boy had drawn her out on the rope
that was fastened to the bucket.
Her hands and arms were lacerated
and the shock to her was very Sc
we're, but she escaped serious injury,
She was at once given medical at
tention by DR.. j. L. Mcmillan and
she is getting along better than was
expected.
1t was indeed a miraculous es-
cape from death and her many
friends rejoice that it is as we'll as
it is.-Decatur County Herald.

Fine Entertainment.

A company of five negro men
and as many women, of the same
race, all young, representing the
Colored Roger Williams University
at Nashville, the leading one Of the
three colored Baptists Schools of
Tennessee, were here Monday and
Tuesday nighrs and put on each
night musical entertainments-t the
first in the Pilgrim Rest Colored
Baptist church and on Tuesday
night in the Circuit Court room. The
program on both nights covered a
wide range Of comic, jubilee and
classical selections. The voices are
all good, and the woman leader, who
presided at the piano, has fine exc
cution on the instrument. One
number, the most popular selection
from II Trovatore, showed to fine
advantage the voice of a young girl
named Curren, who is a student
of Roger Williams University
Gas all of them are) and halls from
Ripley. Taken all in all, the en-
tertainments were richly enjoyed
and more than worth the price of
admission.

The Flying Squadron.

The Flying Squadron of the Mem
phis Conference Sunday School
Board of the Southern Methodist
Church, reached Lexington Wednes-
day and the first session was held
in the afternoon
The first speaker was MIR. C. j.
Nugent, of Louisville. KY, who dis
cussed the subjects, The Standard
of Efficiency" The Home Depart
ment-lts Purpose" and the Work
ers' Council"
AT the Wednesday night session
Rev. j. W. Moore, of Memphis,
explained the scope and accomplish
ments of the Wesley Bible Class
Movement. Mr.. Moore is the Field
Secretary of the Memphis Confer
ence Sunday School Board. Mr..
Moore was followed by Mr.. John r.
Pepper, of Memphis, President of
the Memphis Sunday School Board,
who spoke at length on the Five
Vital Points in the Sunday School
Session" and gave his hearers real
entertainment. Mr.. Pepper is per-
haps the most prominent lay worker
in the membership of the Southern
Methodist church.
The morning session yesterday
was devoted to various topics by
Mr.. Pepper and the other speakers

Squadron, were Mrs. W. w. Adams,
who is on the program. with the
Elementary Division of the Sunday
School, and her husband, who was
formally Presiding Elder of Lexing-
ton District and made many friends
here.
The pronounced success of the
visitation of the Flying Squadron to
Lexington is due in great measure
to the work of Pastor Fred H. Pee
Piles, who has already won warm
place in the love and confidence of
our whole people.

One of the blacklist blots on the
Christianity of the world is the fact
that the fanatical Mohammedan
Turks have been allowed, almost
without protest, to destroy nearly a
million Armenian Christians The
treatment Of the Armenian Chris
tians by the Turks, was not exceed
ed in brutality by Nero, who, when
Emperor Of Rome, publicly burned
and otherwise tortured to death
thousands of Christians for the
amusement Of the populace. Prot
estant Germany and Catholic Aus
tria are not only in alliance with
Turkey but have encouraged that
Mohammedan country in declaring
the present conflict in Europe
Holy War for the purpose Of in
citing the ferociouS Turks, Arabs
and other Asiatics in butchering
without mercy the "infdel dogs as
they term Christians.

days Of our acquaintance with him,
a Republican in politics, but for a
good number of years has been an
Independent. He was likewise a

of strong convictions, wide informa-
ton and independent thought. He
was good farmer, an excellent cit

The service at his funeral last
Friday, at the Anderson graveyard,

Editor of The PROGRESS:

Editor OF HE PROGRESS.
Continuing my contribution to
the discussion concerning the needs
of our school, | wish this week to
offer a few suggestions as to what a
school should be, and what we
should expect of our teachers.
All the best authorities on the
subject of Pedagogy agree that a
teacher should inspire more than he
instructs. That is obviously true.
Lessons may be mede easier by in
struction in the best way to learn
them, but the actual learning must
be done by the child himself. The
will to master, the concentration
and energy the ability to stick it
out to the end no matter how hard
it may be, can be gained only by
inspiration of one kind or another,
The child must be made to want
to learn. He must be made to
want his lessons to be the first duty
of his life. He must be made to
want to increase his own knowledge
and his own ability to use it. That
is why it is SO absolutely important
to have a teacher with a strong per-
sOnality, with the born quality of
leadership.
Those who have always lived
here, where education has been at a
low ebb for so long, cannot realize
what real school could do for us.
We should have a school from
which would eminate such a spirit
of learning, such a zeal for know
ledge, such a desire for better liv-
ing and better working and better
thinking that it would reach out to
every home in the town, to quicken
our intellects and lift us up into
better, higher creatures.
That is what school is for, not
to. stuff facts into peoples heads.
We forget most of them. But the
strength and the courage and the
trouble and work it took to learn
them is welded into our characters,
to make us more able to meet other
problems which require strength
and courage and trouble and work.
All teaching is useless, unless it is
done in a way to develop character.
All learning is useless, unless it
makes one better and stronger, and
more able to resist temptation
more able to understand the needs
and trials and excuses Of humanity.
Frankly. ! must say, that in my
opinion, our school is lacking in that
spirit of uplift, which we have a
right to expect. 1t is like man
without religion. 1t has soul per-
haps, but it is so lost that nobody
can find it. As | see it, that is the
bottom of the trouble with our
school. That is the condition which
we must face, and facing it, we
must find the cause.
There is a cauSe--a most impOr-
tant cause-which | shall make an
effort next week to point out.

Rats in the Trenches.

From Champagne, France, comes the
complaint that the trenches are invaded
by armies of rats. They are everywhere.
especially in the night. They devour the
provisions of the soldiers and prevent
the men from obtaining sufficient sleep.
There are objections to the use of poi
sons to kill the pests. A preferable
means to get rid of them would be some
method by which they could be driven
out of the trenches. A Paris newspaper
makes the following recommendation.
apparently i'm all seriousness: "One
means. not at all costly but efficacious,
Is that employed in the navy. 1t is
known that rats swarm on shipboard.
Experience has demonstrated that the
presence of a single toad frightens and
drives them away. If. then, you will
put at proper distances number of
toads in wooden cages you will see the
rats Immediately disappear" No direc-
tions. however. are given as to easy
method for capturing the required num-
