The needs OF the Gage School for
Fairgrounds. domestic science, and
manual training classes were discuss
ed by the Rev. DR.. John Van Schaick,
jr., president OF the Board Of Educa-
ton with members OF the Parent
Teacher Association at a meeting OF
the organization last night.
DR.. Van Schaick assured the asso-
citation that careful consideration
would be given every item for which
they asked by the board members in
preparing the estimates for the COM
ing year.
One question asked DR.. Van Schsick
was whether there should not be more
men teachers in the schools. He re-
piled that to thoroughly educate
children both sexes should be their
instructors.

The price OF shayes; the price Of Shaves,
The color sergeant said.
So II is. Washington and even the
country at large is threatened with
an era of long bearded and shaggy
haired men. The BARRIERS say they
have to pay for eggs and potatoes
and in order that to be possible the
suffering public is going to have to
pay them a or 10-cent advance for
hair cuts and shaves.
About so per cent Of the BARRIERS
of this city belong to the BARRIERS
union.
The price of soap. perfumes and
other accessories OF the barber shop
is going up along with mostly every
thing else, and the barber does not
intend to be the only goat"
The local chapter of the Journey
men BARRIERS Union will meet at
Moose Hall. at Seventh and @ streets,
tomorrow night. and the fate Of the
bearded public probably will be de-
cIded then.

PLAN OFFICE WORK
AS SCHOOL COURSE
Education Board Urges Prac-
teal Business Training.
ENLIST Aid OF MERCHANTS
Students viii Be Sent Out as lem
pOrary Employees.

Superintendent Of Schools Thurston
Is today considering plans whereby
students taking business courses can
obtain practical training by spending
part time in school and business Of
fices. The plan is similar to that in
vogue in the normal schools. where
students spend several weeks each
term in actual teaching.
THE matter is one OF utmost I'M
portance," said Mr.. Thurston. Num-
bers OF students, after leaving the
business schools, find they are not
suited for their WORK. This could be
eliminated by putting them in our
offices as part OF their course.
There are about twenty offices In
the school system, where hundreds
of persons enter daily. Service there
would bring the pupils into contact
with persons Of all degrees OF tenn
permanent, and give the former an in
valuable addition to their business
education. The aid OF business men
with offices in the downtown district
may also be called on.
The student in the fourth year OF
a business course is qualified to do
considerable office work, A girl
came to my office to work. She was
an excellent stenographer and typist,
but was not lifted to meet numbers
of persons daily. Had she been per-
mitted to realize this before her
school career was ended. 1t Is pos
sIble the flaw might have been over
come"
Under the plan, the sections in the
business courses would be divided IN
two parts. One would attend classes
while the other was actually at work.
The two courses of instruction would
be divided into about four weeks, MI
Thurston said, although a dennite
time has not yet been decided upon

Compliments The Herald.

Editors Bamberg Herald:-Wlll
YOU give me space in your paper for
a few remarks? First of all, want
to say that The Herald is welcome
visitor to our home every Friday.
Should it fail to make one OF It's
weekly visits, we would feel like an
expected friend had failed to come
according to promise. During our
stay of more than two years in the
hustling, thriving, little town OF Ehr-
hardt We formed acquaintance with
many of Bamberg county's citizens,
and it is largely through the columns
Of The Herald that we are kept IN
touch with them. The news letters
from Ehrhardt, Colston, Clear Pond
and other places are read with much
interest. 1t seems to me like the
Hunters Chapel and Zion neighDer-
hoods ought to furnish regular pen

Herald. REV. ). Il. SMITH,.

Goods High and Scarce.

A number of Bamberg merchants
have recently visited the markets OF
the North in search of new fall and
winter dry goods, clothing, shoes, etc.
1t is generally reported by them that
all classes of merchandise are high
and very scarce. They found it diff
cult to get many ordinary lines OF
merchandise, and the increase in all
prices is little short of staggering.
In spite, however. of the high prices.
there is an unprecedented demand
for merchandise of all kinds. This
shows that there is plenty of money
throughout the country, and that the
biggest season of business perhaps
the country has ever had is ahead OF
the merchants this winter.
The wearers of shoes will find that
their pocketbooks will suffer heavily
this winter Shoes are in many in
stances double in price over last
years figures. Clothing has advanc-
ed heavily. This, coupled with the
high price of groceries, with which
We are already very familiar, will
make the cost of living something
fierce for some time in the future.
With the fine crops in this county,
and the present excellent prices of all
farm products, the people in this
vicinity will be in good shape. The
farmers, will, of course, be especially
prosperous. We are informed that
many one-horse planters and ten
ants have paid all their debts with
two and three bales of cotton.
