DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Use Grand
mother Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody viii
Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy ana

any drug store for so cent bottle Of
| Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
POUND" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen n
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.

SOCIAL STUDIES
~ HIGH SCHOOLS

How history, ciyics, and kindred
subjects in the high school may be
made to meet the requirements of
present-day citizenship and the needs
OF boys and girls as growing citizens
Is told in report on the Social Stud
les in Secondary Education just pub
lished as a bulletin of the United
States Bureau of Education of the De-
partment of the Interior.
This report is the first to appear Of
the final reports of the Commission on
the Reorganization of Secondary Eda-
cation which was appointed in 1912
by the National Education Associa-
ton. The commission, organized in 16
committees which include in their
membership more than 200 superin-
tendents, principals, and teachers rep
resenting nearly all the states of the
| Union, has been at work continuously
since its appointment. The report on
social studies comprises a six-year
program, embracing the work of the
seventh and eighth greades and that
of the present four-year high school.
While the civic-educational value o.
all of the social studies (such as his
tory, government, economics, and geog-
raphy) is kept in the foreground of
the report, special emphosis is given
to organized civics instruction, of the
community civics' type, in the eighth
! and ninth years. The fact is empha
sized, however, that the pupil is a
member not only of a local community
but also of national community. at
would be inexpressibly unfortunate il
the study of local community life and
relations should supplant a study OF
national life and national civic rela-
tons The two aspects of civic life
should clearly supplant each other, *
y. Questions of health, of educa-
ton, of industry can no longer be
considered in their local bearings
alone, but must be dealt with in the
light of national policy and to the end
of national efficiency ="
Other topics dealt with in Part II OF
the report are the civic relations of
vocational life, the adoption of civics
to rural conditions, and the relation
of civics to history. In connection
with the first Of these topics it is said
that the chief purpose should be THE
development of an appreciation of the
social significance of all work; of the
social value and interdependence OF
all occupations; Of the social respon-
sibility Of the worker, not only for
, the character Of his work, but for the
use OF its fruits; of the opportunities

A WORK OF THANKS.

Many people observed Thanksgiving
with all that heart could wish, and
the MONDAY meal abounded in all the
meats and delicacies common to such
occasion. There were other people
who did not have so much, hardly
anything-but they thanked God with a
sincere reverence for his kindness
through the year.
A part of this latter class of people
were provided for in Americas by the
school children of the city, who gave ~
Astounding quantities the necessities OF
life. These articles were arranged in
large baskets and distributed by Mrs
C. j. Sherlock, of the Associated Char
tiles, during yesterday afternoon. Many
hearts were gladdened and many va
cant stares at empty tables were ex-
hilirated by the thoughtfulness of the
school folks.
Mrs Sherlock is a most indefatigable
worker for this cause in the city, and
through her efforts during the year,
especially during the holidays, much
gladness is sent in these small tokens.
An aged person, unknown to US,
sought the editor last night, and in her
feeble way requested that we thank
Mrs. Sherlock and the thoughtful
school children This message we
gladly convey.

! and necessity for good citizenship IN
vocational life; of the duty of the
community to the worker; of the ne
cessity for social control, government
al and otherwise, of the economic ac-
tiyities of the community; and of the
part that government actually plays in
regulating the economic life of the
community and of the individual.
For the last year of the high school
tie report proposes a concrete study
of problems of democracy" These
problems will naturally vary from
year to year, and from class to class,
but they should be selected ON the
ground % of their immediate interest
t. the class, and (2) of their vital i'm
pcrtance to society,"" The purpose Of
secondary education and not the in
trinsic value of any particular body
of knowledge should be the determin-
ing consideration =. 1t is far
less important that the adolescent
youth should acquire a comprehens-
i've knowledge of any or all of the soc-
ial sciences than it is that he should
be given experience and practice in
the observation of social phenomena
as he encounters them; that he should
be brought to understand that every
social problem is many-sided and COM
plex and that he should acquire the
habit of forming social judgments only
on the basis of dispassionate consider
alton Of all the facts available. This
can best be accomplished by
dealing with actual situations as they
occur and by drafting into service the
materials of all the social science as
occasion demands for thorough I'M
derstanding of the situations in ques-
ton"

A CURIOUS FAITH.

To a person who has ever attended
male college-whether he be non-fra
! ternity or fraternity man. a news item
Of more than passing interest in the
Macon Telegraph Wednesday morning
appears. 1t says that the Ministerial
association of Mercer university, at q
meeting held last night, refused to re-
scind its action Of year ago in decid-
ing that no member of Greek letter
fraternity will be admitted to member
ship in the Ministerial association" 1t
is to be taken for granted that the az
tnorities of Mercer university counten-
ance this action because the rule has
been in force for a year.
1t would not be our task to say how
Mercer should be conducted, for other
newspapers have assumed that priyil-
eye. The same position is taken ia
regard to all church schools, for their
place fills an important branch of our
educational system-no one would de-
stroy this force
If our history is correct, Mercer has
been in the throes of a fraternity and
non-fraternity war for several years
/: occupied center of interest during
the last year of teh presidency of Rev |
s Y. Jameson, and the former presid-
ing official took an important part in
the discussion.
1t is to be taken as a fairly accur-
ate surmise that members of the Min
isterial association at Mercer intend 20
go into the ministry after their college
course has been completed. If they
follow in the active life to come, the
rules which they have established in
college fraternity men might as well
consider themselves persona non
grata" in their pastorates.
The fraternity question has been one
of small attraction to folks outside OF
the colleges and universities, but as
long as the embryonic ministry has
assumed official recognition of the
question it might not be amiss for OIL.
err people to have their say
1t may be that the action of the Mer-
Ger Ministerial association has raised
tie standard and character of their
membership by forbidding fraternity
men to affiliate with their organization
If this is the case they are to be con.
graduated for taking such a step, AMI
some reward both here and hereafter
should hang heavy on their brows. It
must be fearful mental strain and
tcrmenting anguish to be a member Of
a fraternity; want to preach-and then
be denied admission in the select cir
Giles Of the elite-the young and prom
Using pastors.
Mercer has fraternities; she has her
ministerial association; and if the
spirit of Christianity is to be taught to
the young preachers in it's true ana
lasting form it seems that some kernel
of evil should be uprooted.
