lands declaration of war, Kitchener
was appointed Secretary of State for
War and Immediately took full charge
at the War Office where he worked
day and night to overcome the handI-
cap which the Central Powers had over
| England in the matter of fighting
strength.
He grimly told the British people
they had bigger war on their hands
than they realized, and one that might
last longer than they expected, but
it was to be faced with entire conf
dence, and he, unsmilingly, almost like
"a dehumanized machine, set about to
make things hum He had scarcely
moved into Whitehall Street when he
made numerous changes in the per
sonnet of the War Office, which was
said to be honeycombed wis social
and political favoT1tism

thousand regulars TO France and Bel

Kithcener Organized the Largest
Volunteer Army in Worlds HisfOru.

| Of several things that entitle Earl
Kitchener TO place in world history,
| the most notable is that he organized
the largest volunteer army the world
has ever seen, in the greatest war OF
all times.
Within a year from the sudden out
break of the European war in August
1914 the ranks of British fighting men
were quadrupled by an increase from
900.
All other great powers that entered
the war had huge standing armies and
compulsory military service. Great
Britain alone faced the issue with con-
lidence that its people would readily
respond TO the call Of King ;Hld Coun-
try without compulsion, and the pre-
cipitous developments that led to the
war found both the people and the gov
eminent unanimous in the verdict that
Kitchener of Khartum was the man to
lead in the recruiting and organization
of the necessary army.
1t was not sentimental clamor, for
though Kitchener was a proven hero
of many campaigns, his personality
was as imperturbable as hardened steel
and he was not hero that could he
loved: even the War Office had 10
pronounced liking for him. but on all
sides there was profound respect for
his military efficiency and for all he
had done TO extend the domains OF
the British Empire.
By mere luck Kitchener happened
10 be in England on one Of the com |
rare visits that he had paid
London during his long career abroad, |
when the European war broke out. He !
mad just come home from service as |
British agent in Egypt, had accepted |

SCHOOL LIBRARIES
ARE NEGLECTED

Several School Libraries have been
established in the public schools of
Marion county within the last two or
three years at considerable expense
to the patrons of the schools where
such Libraries are established. as we'll
as to the state, but not in a single
instance, so far as it has come under
my observation, have these libraries
been used to any appreciable advan-
tage to the pupils or the community
where established.
There is one or two causes for this
failure to use the libraries. Either
the books are not properly selected, or
the teachers neglect to do their duty.
The failure may be due to the fact
that our teachers have not had the
proper library training, When say
this, / mean no reflection on the Ma
rion county teachers, because l have
information that a failure to properly
use such libraries is not confined to
Marion county alone, but, on the con-
trary, is general over the state.
am very much in favor of the es-
tablishment of library including
Webster's international Dictionary in
every school in Marion county, if we
can have the libraries used to advan-
tage, but if we cannot do better than
we have done in the past, think we
should either change teachers or quit
the library business.
The Summer School of the South at
Knoxville, Tennessee, to open June
goth and close July 28th of this year,
offers special courses in library meth
ods for teachers, and should be ex-
ceedingly glad if large number Of
our teachers would take advantage of
this opportunity to learn how to use
libraries to the bsst advantage.
There is general awakening all ov-
er the country on the subject of better
schools, schools that mean something
for the child. Marion county must
not fall behind
hope that no one will apply for a
school in Marion county this year
who has not a progressive school
spirit.
Respectfully,
D. A TATE,
County Superi tendent.
