Preparedness Now Absolutely
Necessary.

For some months past the gov
eminent has urged preparedness on
the part Of the people throughout
the country both prior 10 and since
the declaration Of war. This APP
peal has been more strongly urged
upon them since this country be-
came enibroiled in hostilities in or
der that we might be in a position
to meet every emergency regard
less Of what nature it might be.
A large majority Of the Ameri-
can people have long since realized
that this country has a grave prob
lem to lace and solve, but some
have yet perhaps to realize the Sc
rious conditions that are now and
viii face our nation in the future
because OF this war, hence, it IS
that we now direct our appeal to
every man, woman and child to
prepare with vigor and energy to
meet the call OF the country from
every angle.
A number Of Our young men
Rave already enlisted to fight for
the dignity and honor OF their
country: and following the regis
tration on Tuesday last others will
soon follow to take up arms for
the honor and glory of the nation.
The departure of these young men
for the front means more than the
fact that they have gone to fight
for their country on the field OF
battle. 1t means more than heart
aches around the freside. 1t means
that vacancies in the business and
industrial world will be hard to fill
thus hampering. in a measure al
least, the business activities of the
country. It means that more en-
ergy must be expended on the
farms, and other acts of prepared
ness too numerous TO mention will
be and are absolutely necessary.
These things mean in short that
the men, women and children OF
this country who are not engaged
in armed activity must be prepared
TO meet every emergency that may
arise. Our people must realize and
realize fully that this war mean.
great sacrifice on the part Of every
one 1t matters not what their avo-
cation in life may be. They mus
further realize that the war may
last for a month, a year, and pos
sibly for years, hence, preparedness
in every sense and phase of hf,
must be had if Our country is COINS
to sensibly and properly carry OF
the war. Preparedness should b,
the watchword in reality and no
in hay ideas. Preparedness mus
be had on the farm, in the bust
ness and industrial world and il
the household as we'll
We therefore urge every either
Of this county not 10 wait, but pre-
pare at once to meet any and every
emergency that might or may arts,
during the period OF this war and
the time that will follow. Eacl
and everyone Of US are called upor
by our government TO do our part
Charles Countians. let's do our par
TO the fullest extent, thus serving
our country, even at home, with
credit, honor and glory.

The country boy must have the kind
Of education that will make him
take hold on the life he is to live
and the work he has to do.
There is time only to mention
briefly the physical things for inn
proving the schoolroom,-pianos,
pictures and the like, and the oppor-
tunity for the School Improvement
Associations to help the teachers
select them. If the teacher does
not know how to make the school
the community center the Associa-
ton should help. President Wilson
has said that we must send the
people to school to themselves"
In the multitude OF counsel there
is wisdom" Let me urge that the
work OF the schools and the teach
ers be upheld. We are fighting for
the freedom of man: there can be
no freedom without the education
OF man. Pestalozzi said: Would
God that some angel would fly
through che hills and valleys Of this
country and proclaim in thunder
Gus tones-'There can be no free
dom without the education of
man.. What will it amount to if
we conquer, if at the same time we
lower our own ideals and our own
possibilities Of attaining that free
dom?
Let us then see to it that there is
no lowering OF the efi1ellry of the
school system. Whether the war be
long or short the children in the
schools must be prepared for life's
responsibilities. We must be ready
to teach the lesson OF lifting UP hui
manity. by giving to every unit Of
population the fullest possible de-
velopment, the best possible prep
aration for the work which lies be-
fore IFS.

ADDRESS On School IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATIONS BY
DR.. P. P. CLAYTON.

Continued from last week.
1t goes without saying almost
that the schoolhouse should be
beautiful, especially in the country.
1t should be a model for the build
ings in the community. l wonder
why persons of wealth and refine
ment who decorate their own homes
in an artistic way are willing to send
their children into the cold bath"
Of an ugly school room, sometimes
the place Of ugliness, concerted and
accumulated. No other place is
treated in the same way as the
schoolhouse. Why such a con-
trast in the two buildings in North
Carolina rural community where !
once went to address an educational
institutef The church, used once
month, was large and imposing. 1t
gave evidence of wealth and re-
hnement,-th windows were Of
stained glass, the aisles carpeted,
the seats cushioned, and there were
many artistic and comfortable fea-
lures. On the other hand, the
school, used fac days a aUeek, for
a portion Of the year, was rudely
constructed, with no thought, ap-
parently, for either beauty or COM
fort. The sole window had one
broken pane.-covered with a piece
Of zinc. Everything was dingy.
There was one door, and a stove in
the center. The unupholstered seats
were SO high that only a boy of six
teen could have reached the floor
with his feet. When | pointed out
the contrast to the people assem-
bled for the institute, one pious old
soul contended that it was perfectly
fitting that the House Of the Lord"
should receive more attention than
the schoolhouse, but | rejoined that
it was the church members, parents
of the school children, not the
Deity, who enjoyed those comfort
able seats and beautiful surround
ings, and that | believed the God
of little children" would not accept
the worship of those who treat their
children in this way. The child's
temple should be beautiful as no
other. Women can bring this about
and should start a campaign to
