One day, when some objectionable
breach OF discipline had boon com

Teachers Highly Commended in Win.
tlrOp College Paper.

The work Of the Laurens County
Teachers association is receiving fay-
orable notice outside of the county.
In the last issue of tho Winthrop Col
lcge News, a paper published at the
college and edited by one Of the pro-
fcssors. the following complimentary
notice was made of the association in
its editorial column:
1--WE are becoming a professional
group OF people given to study,
thought, and discussion instead of lee
turing and listening. Notice the Lau-
rens plan. The Teachers Association
is divided into three groups; the pri-
mary, the grammar grades, and the
high school groups. Each group has
chosen a text and intends to study it..
At each meeting each group will have
demonstration lesson in a chosen
subject followed by serious group
discussion Of the topic for the day and
the lesson taught. After the hour
given to departmental meetings they
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1917-10-24

gather in the auditorium for a gen
eral lecture. They are seriously un-
dertaking the task of growing while
teaching. They will have a member
Of the University faculty to lead the
high school department. A member of
the Winthrop faculty will lead the
grammar grade department, and Miss
Annie Workman, teacher in the
Normal Training Class at Laurens,
VIII lead the primary group. In addi-
ton to this they will invite each time
the lecturer for the general meeting.
In order to meet the expenses Of this
admirable program they have voted
to tax themselves an additional fifty
cents each. Here is evidence of a fine
conception Of the meaning Of the
monthly teachers meetings."

IPRIzED BY CAMEO CARVERS
iSardonix, August Birthstone, Always
Favorite With Workers in
Such Things of Art.

1t IS usually with considerable dis
appointment that the woman born in
August learns that her birthstone is
the sardoniX, and even the fact that
that stone is said TO insure conjugul
felicity does not entirely make amends
for the fact that 1t is not ranked as
one of the precious stones and is not
gem Of great beauty.
But with the revival in interest in
canoes no August-born woman with
q real taste for beautiful objects of art
ought to wish for any other birthstone,
an exchange says. S;rdoniX ii is in
the Old lists and SardoniX il ought to
remain in spite of the newer lists that
have been made to give everyone an
attractive gem. The SardOniX has al

KNOW VlClSSITUDES OF LIFE
French Art Models Make tho Best Of
! Existence, Which is Not Always
! Merry One.

"At twilight from out quaint doors
land old courtyards troop the models,
suddenly cnltvening street corners.
Beneath their smile, their light man
Iner, their gay silhouette lie, ncverthe-
lless, Il grim knowledge Of what life
contains. They know the long hours
when with aching back and muscles
they must stand in given pose. Of
Ifcrlng their immobllity to students or
to trained masters. 1t is not an
iensily acquired profession. To pose
successfully, one must have imagina-
ton rs well as disciplined body; one
must be able to become the tangible
depression of an eSthetlc idea. They
know that the artist who uses them
bids them farewell and goes his way.
They know the seasons when work Is
iscarce. They realize the cost Of bread,
the cost Of tincry. Their standards are
modest enough. One certainly cannot
become very rich or reckless by pos
ing; but, then one does not associate
wealth with artists or, for that mat
ter, with any form of serving them.
These kind-hcartcd children Of Mont
parnassc adjust their demands to the
artists pocketbook. They know that,
whenever he is able, he will share with
| them whatever good comes to him.
He will give them small gifts-a COW

perS-he will invite them to dinner or
offer round Of nperitfs az the little
cafe on the corner, often he will treat
them to q day in the country No
price Is too high or too low for the
fellowship involved.
Instinct has banded them together
has brought them from dull'and love-
less homes, from the lowest ranks of
the wagc-carncr, from country village
where art is considered ungOdly, from
parents who in their day were also
models, to meet and minglr in tEis Spc-

Why the Audience Smiled.

A certain clergyman, inclined to cor

social gathering that had met to cele-

following manner:
"Friends," he said, "at the close Of
this meeting there will be collection.
