ADAMS SCHOOLS SURPRISE PAR.
ENTs AND FRIENDS.

The three schools of S. e. Adams
township under the efficient manage
ment of their teachers, Miss Doris
Montgomery of Allgood, Miss Hilda
Hedge Of Chapel Hill, and Miss Ne
ola Moore of Johnson, gave splen-
did program followed by a box sup
per at Centenary church Friday ev-
ening. The proceeds were donated
to the Red Cross fund. @fv
Much credit is due the teachers
and pupils for their part in this enter
tainment. Each and every number
was good. And although the house
was uncomfortably crowded, every
one enjoyed the excellent program.
The three dialogues, first by ALI
good school in which Lucille Krizer
as Aunt Jerusha, assisted by Mont
E. Gartin as Uncle Joshua, and
Grace Bacon as the teacher, kept ev-
cry one laughing from first to !. last
at the queer and funny pranks of the
oldtfashioned couple, Uncle Josh and
Aunt Jerusha, visiting the country
school. r'"- = ''si ,,u
Second dialogue THE Bargain
Hunters" by Chapel Hill school, was
equally good. When the ladies' at
tended the bargain sale of Catch EN-
and Cheat-'Em, their husbands came
In loaded down with parcels and then
all proceeded to See More and Do
Titles for more bargains.
The dialogue by Johnson School
was not bit behind the other two in
point of entertainment "a Practi-
cal Use For Peddlers, "being the title.
The woman of the house assisted by
her husband, was washing, and on
being interrupted so many times by
agents and peddlers thought of the
very unique plan of putting them to
work, as a way to get rid of them.
Imagine her chagrin when she found
that she had set the new minister to
washing.

German institutions but not their
government. His language was
beautiful.
Mr.. Mooney feels that we do
uot begin to realize the serious
ness of the situation. Hatred for
Germany will not sustain us.
Haired never sustains.
We must clearly understand the
things far which We are ready to
die, children should be taught the
history Of Germany.
I is founded on blood and iron
and Intrigue. We must be ready To
sacrifice greatly to prevent the
fastening of such government
upon the world. They regard
sacred obligations as scraps of
paper, but they are no pygms.
We as democratic nation can
learn much from Germany, but we
must never carry these things too
far. One of their philosophers
would supplant christianity with
the theory that if a man turned
the other cheek ms cad of seeking
revenge when struck, he must be
a veal king. America must be
ready now to serve the nations as
no othe, nation can serve them.
No nation cares for it's individuals
as does Germany. But it has been
carried too far. No man may
say whether the state shall care
for him. He is a ward of the
state, and loves the fatherland, if
| he has not become democratic
enthusiast.
While we hurl ourselves against
Germany. we will be fools if we
do no learn the lessons she has for
us. But we must defeat the idea
OF superman aud superstate, and
substitute christianity for war;
ship of the Kaiser.
From Germany we may learn
to prepare our men and women for
specific duties, for we have no
schools 10 compare with the vo-
cational schools in Germany. But
they have come from the ruler !,
and the people have had little to
say about it.
We will learn the lesson aud
will be willing to give up some of
our privileges, just as now we
pay little more taxes and little
more for coal, that the widows and
orphans of the 12O men lost in our
recent mine disaster may receive
$500, 600 due them from the state.
That workingmen's compensation
law originated in Germany.
But when we adopt some of the
many excellent ideas of Germany,
we must not forget that an as
sumption of Unlimited powers by
the state brings about an autocracy,
be the ideas ever so good. Such
a condition is extremely dangerous.
Mr.. Mooney has no quarrel with
their craftsmanship, out he is
to lay down his life that such ideas
shall not rule the world.
Against such a nation, united,
determined, powerful, efficient,
We must present concentrated
force, aroused and energy and con-
served resources, will that
AUTOCRACY SHALL NO T
LONGER DOMINATE ANY

Dictated their appreciation.
L. d. osBoRN's TALK
The first talk OF the afternoon
was by L. D. Osborn, of the
opinion that pupils are not work
ing hard enough to develop all
their powers. He is opposed to
indiscriminate selection of high
school courses, for the student
will proba bly, select the line of least
resistance and miss the greatest
possible training.
He thinks it shame that our
graduates are SO badly fitted for
real life that a man who has work
ed his way up is gener ally pre-
ferred to the college man. He
says that education should come
rearer being preparation for real
living than is possible with our
present methods. We need more
vocational training.
Culture. he says, is an accumu-
lation of the experiences Of the race
to now, and the more a growing
man can enter into this, other
things being equal, the better
man he will become.
If kindergarten gives the child
an idea that all things can be ac.
complished through play, Mr..
Osborn is opposed to them. There
is no education worthy the name
that does not make pupils grapple
with real problems.
He thinks It amazing that we
have not yet provided schools to
instruct girls in home-making.
How would a college grad uate STOP
q baby's collie?
| Art, games, music in school are
doing q great deal to educate
children along the lines of NEE ting
people and approaching social
| privileges; of knowing what to ex.
pect in real living.
/ But privileges of a citizenship
like ours involve also obligations
Mr.. Osborn has no patience with
women who say, Il didu't bring
my boys into the world and educate
them to make targets Of them.'
No man has a right to the pri.
vileges of citizenship unless he is
willing to lay down his life for
| them.
