HELP ON EUROPE'S BATTLEFIELDS

and Prvates Are Showing the Allies That Uncle Sam Is

least-This Community Must Do Its Part-We
Must Give Our Time, Services, Money.

with the finest surgical tools to do
their work. And the hospital has an
ample supply OF wound dressings. pads.
spllnts, hospital gowns, surgical
shirts-all the thousand and one things
u first-class hospital must have.
That is the service which the Ameri.
can Red Cross has provided for the
American soldier before our country
was at war-before single American
ship or unit OF the American army
was headed for Europe. Thirty-six OF
these hospitals-enough to care for the
wounded of an army OF million men
have been made ready to the last
strip OF bandage and the last enrolled
stretcher bearer. Several OF them are
now In France, helping to care for the
wounded OF the allies, and ready to
care for the American soldiers who are
sure to fall into their hands before
many weeks.
Each OF these base hospitals calls
for the services OF % surgeons. 2
dentists, 20 Red Cross nurses and $50
privates. including orderlies. ambu-
lance drivers, stretcher bearers and
clerks.
The permanent minimum equipment
of each hospital consists OF three car
loads OF beds. mattresses. scientific APP
paratus. operating room paraphernalla,
and all utensils. Units going to Eu-
rope these days, however, are taking
double or triple equipment.
The consumable supplies Of each hos
pital consists OF So crates OF bandages
wound pads. splints. fracture pillows
dressings and hospital supplies OF
every kind to the number OF AZ, 4S2, all
made up TO army standard. packed
boxed and labeled so that surgeons and
nurses can put their hands on them
In moment.
Now-from this II might seem that
the Red Cross has done every.
thing needful. and that there Is moth
Ing more to do for the base hospitals
but to wait until the wounded begin
TO stream In, and give them the benefit
OF all this foresight.
Not so. It has been established that
the supplies of bandages and splints
and wound pads and gauze In base
hospital last through just about -four
days OF heavy fighting. Then, unless
there were q great store of supple:
to draw from, the hospital would fine
itself with 500 wounded on hand, ant
no dressings for their wounds.

II the American Red Cross had never
done anything else than organize. equip
and supply the base hospitals which
are now backing our armies, IL would
have justified It's existence. OF course
II has done, and still is doing count
less great things for America and for
the world; but its accomplishment in
the line of base hospitals is just now
OF prime Importance.
AS briefly as II may be defined.
base hospital is an institution which
cares for the sick or wounded soldier
from the time he is sent back from
the firing line. until he is able to be
removed to a hospital In his own coun-
try.
1t is almost unbelievable, but never
theless a fact, that until the American
Red Cross took hold OF the task
year ago, no nation In the history OF
the world had ever organized a base
hospital until after war had been de-
clared and the fighting begun. and the
wounded men lay writing on the
ground.
Always, OF course, there have been
a few army surgeons with each regi-
ment, who patched up the slightly
wounded and got them back into the
firing line as quickly as possible. Also,
OF course, there have always been In
all countries some sort of hospital sys-
TEN for the care OF the sick and
wounded when they got home.
But always the intermediate insti.
tuition, for the care and transportation
OF the sick and wounded between the
front and the home hospitals. was
missing. This has invariably led to
n terrible congestion of wounded on
the battlehelds. where thousands suf-
fered needlessly. lott arms and legs
that might have been saved, or died
whsR n little care would have pre-
served them.
Col. Jefferson Randolph Kean. q. s.
A. Medical corps. director general of
military relief OF the Red Gross, has
likened the former organization to q
bridge OF which the end spans were
complete. but the middle span--the
base hospitals-was entirely lacking.
When a man is wounded in battle,
the method OF caring for him is this
modified, of course. by varying condi-
lions:
He lies on the field In No Mans
| Land between the lines, or In the
trench until he is able to drag himself
away, or the stretcher bearers car
reach him. and carry him 10 one OF
the little lrst-aid stations. These are
always very near to the fighting lines
s~sometimes in a part OF the trench
where the men are fighting.

wound to keep out infection, binds or

Teachers Assembled Here

LIE AiInudl lCdCilSTS lUS llIuIS
of Calhoun county opened .ere
Monday morning with 66 teachers
enrolled. which enrolment, how
ever. is now II.
The Monday morning ses-
sion opened by singing The
Star Spangled Banner" under
the leadership of Mr.. C. e.
Simms, who is the music leader
this week. Devotional services
were conducted by Rev. B. F.
King.
Miss Grace Davis, of Ravens
wood, is the pianist.
Supt. A. E. Weaver then intro
duccd Mr.. L. J. Hanifan, of
Charleston, who spoke on the
Importance of sanitation in and
arc und the school.
Prof. H. G. Robertson, of the
Charleston schools, gave an able
talk on The Teacher and the
Pupil" emphasizing the impor.
lance of cooperation.
In the afternoon Mr.. Hanifan
talked on School Exten ion Work.
Mr.. Robertson then spoke on
assigning the lesson, giving. in
his remarks, an outline of Lin.
coins Gettysburg speech. He
urged the teachers to be definite
in assigning the lesson and to be
clear with their requirments.
Mr.. Hanifan continued his re.
marks on Extension work, max.
ing many points that should be
appreciated by teacher and pa.
tron.
Monday evening the teachers
enjoyed the pictures which Supt
Weaver procured.
The meeting was opened Tues.
day morning with song, follow
ing which, the devotional services
by Prof. Robertson.
Mr.. Weaver then announced
the appointment of the follow,
ing committee on resolutions: w.
j. Ayers, d. w. Shock, Miss
Matte Sharps, Miss Delta Stout
and Frank ID. Weaver.
Mr.. Robertson then gave a
patriotic talk that was thrilling
and inspiring, In this talk he
dwelt on the changes in social
conditions that tend to lead tbs
children from, rather than to,
ward the home.
Mr.. HaniPan made some very
instructive remarks on teaching
literature. Literature is pro,
badly the most important sub.
ject in schools. A mans worth
to his community may often be
judged by his appreciation OF
literature. Mr.. Hanifsn recited
Kipling's famous ''Recessional"
in an able maner.
Mr.. w. j. Sharps made bril-
liant plea for teaching literature
urging the teachers to help the
pupil to cultivate an appreciation
of classics. Literature. after all,
is EDUCATION. and usually the
one who reads good literature is
interested in raising his com
munity. AS much may be done
at home as at school in cultivat-
ing this fine art, by placing be-
fore ithe children nothing but
good literature.
Then a general discussion of
the following subjects completed
the morning session: How to
Keep Younger Pupils busy When
Older Ones are Reciting, and
How make hardness unpopular.
Mr.. Robertson spoke on
Making use of Spare time"
urging the teacher to make use
Of her spare time by self improv-
ment.
Mr.. Hanifan talked on the
importance Of this subject. and
gave tsome very practical and
timely remarks to the teachers.

after the picture.

over.
So the burden OF the draft has
ceased TO worry the baseball uagnate
insofar as the 1917 season is con
cerned- But the future-that's the
question.
It is the future OF the big league
teams over which the club owners
are ponderin- now. for no one can
f1reteu what the future viii bring
in this great world war. A speedy
peace would put an end TO all specu-
la-iou as TO the future OF baseball;
but a speedy peace can only be hoped
for. and meanwhile the ceaseless
Er-rd OF preparation for carrying on
It's share OF the war IS the Watchword
OF the nation.
Many OF the big league stars are
past e years OF age and have de-
pendent families Others are past the
draft aEe. The Youngsters who are
getting tryou-s with second division
clubs are eligible. for the most part,
and 10 is probable that these clubs
