TRAINING EMPLOYEES

Vocational training for en-
ployees is put into. actual practice
by some of the big concerns of
New York on the theory that eff
fciency may be best developed in
special schooling for the positions
to be filled.
Big restaurants, for example,
have schools of their own to train
walters, and the managers are not
exempt from special courses of in
struction outlined for them.
The dry goods stores and big
department stores have adopted
the plan and arrange their clerks
in classes according to fabrics, or
stocks, with lectures on processes
OF manufacture and practical
demonstrations in craftsmanship.
Electricians are being schooled
IN the elements and details of
their craft.
The American Institute of
Banking has an educational
course for bank employees.
One of the leading hotels main
talns a vocational school for
maids and another for walters and
bellboys.
In all the large Cities telephone
companies have training schools
for operators who must meet eff
fciency tests before getting a
place at the switchboard.
Thus the need for vocational
training is being made imperative
to the worker who realizes that he
serves himself best by careful
attention to the service he seeks
to perform that to be efficient he
must study as well as labor, study
the business in which he is en-
ployed to enhance his usefulness.

STEWART F. GELDERs. Error

The f1rst Joint meeting of the
Literary Circles was held this
morning. A short but satisfactory
program was given by represen-
tatives of the several circles dur
ing the time usually devoted te
chapel and the first period. The
circles will probably give joint
programs monthly and visitors
will be welcome on those occa-
sions. Almost all the members OF
the societies were on the program
The Parent-Teachers. Associa-
ton, high school division, tried
the same plan for raising money
at the high school as had been
successful in the wards-a "taffy
pull" Despite the fact that the
added attraction of match bas-
ket ball game between two OF
the teams of girls, the taffy pull
could hardly have been called a
success. Short notice being Civ
en- many who would have come
had some other arrangements and
others didn't have time to make
up their minds. 1t was a good
game of basket ball and good tat
fly and all who did come to the
pulp enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely. The next time it will
probably be advertised more and
make a sure enough big thing out
OF it. The proceeds went to the
fund for the tennis court and flag
pole.
We certainly need the tennis
court and we should all work
earnestly with the High School
Parent-Teachers and help them
to help us. We have a splendid
place for a court and many good
players in school. Let's get the
court.
We had a visit from Mr.. GivIer
last week. He made a good talk
on shorthand and also gave us a
good thought. The school is for
you and your benefit alone. When
yoI waste time in school YOU are
wasting the most valuable time
you have. Don't do it.
Prof. Stringer has received the
additional apparatus for physics
and chemistry. This will give us
a pretty. well equipped laboratory
and the time which will be devot-
ed to the study and the number
OF experiments performed will
amount. to full unit at matricula,
ton for college. Heretofore ply
sizes and chemistry have only been
studied specifically and have
been credited as only half unit
at college entrance. Few high
schools have a laboratory of the
kind we now possess.

The choir had a meeting at re-
cess Tuesday.
Prof. Stringe read list OF
twenty names of those who
should join the debating club and
they convened Tuesday after
noon. The same enlightening
apathy which has been feature
in school affairs for the last two
or three years was in full evil
dence. No additional recruits to
the debating circle were obtained.
Some of the boys lad other things
to do and didn't have time for the
good work. Some said they were
too busy-probably too busy
twiddling their thumbs to do any
thing for themselves or the
school.
Mrs. Brown will manage the
production Of History Pageant
in the spring. She had plans made
for one last year but the Shakes
perian pageant which failed to
tmaterialize put quietus on other
plans. This next spring there will
be pageant for certain. Each
history class will have its part and
at least 200 of the students will be
in it.
Athletics are starting again very
weakly with basket ball. Also a
number of the boys and girls are
going to try for the buttons Civ
en- annually by the Atlanta Con-
stitution. Now why not get to-
gether on the button proposition
and make something big out of it
that would be of value to the
school. Time is short and if we
are going to get any benefit out
OF it we will have to start soon.
Let us have Great FieldsDay,
the biggest Athletic Meet the
school and the town has ever
seen? Why not have each class III
school put out full team in all
the events prescribed for the dis
trict contest? If there are not
enough athletes in each class to
do this, the class which is lacking
should be ashamed to admit it.
Four full teams of athletes should
be, picked within the next two
weeks and get down to work. The
records made in the interclass
contests will apply to the button
conditions.
If the faculty will get behind
this and work with the boys to
get up interest it would prove the
first great step toward winning
the district contest. This oppor-
tunity will not present itself
again. We now have to take time
by the forelock and "get hump
on. 1t will be very little real in
convenience to anyone to do this
and the benefit will be invaluable.
Let us be up, and doing. And what
is more doing something definite.
Generalities and big talk about
what we are going to do in the
sweet bye and bye, has the same
results as too much candy, it
makes you sick.

i. The MistletOe Legend.

The harmless and good old
Christmas custom of kissing
under the mistletoe is a
perennial source of discus
sion and dispute, but have
you any idea how 1t original
J ed? This is the story:
Balder, the Scandinavian
god of poetry and eloquence
50 says the legend-sought
immunity from the violence
. OF his enemies by extracting
from everything, in earth,
fire and water, promise to
do him no hurt. Foolishly,
he forgot to obtain This as.
surance from mistletoe, and
Loki, his great enemy, on
learning this induced hire
ling to shoot Balder with an
arrow made from a bough of
mistletoe.
Now, the other gods and
goddesses on hearing of the
death of Balder, who was a
great favorite with them.
prayed that out of the love
they bore him he might be re- ;
stored to life. Thus when this
came to pass mistletoe, In
stead Of being an emblem of
death, became the emblem of
love and as such was given :
to the goddess of love to
keep and guard, while, every
one who passed under the
bough she held in her hand
was expected to salute her
with a tender kiss.
