SCHOOL NOTES

The old, familiar sound of the
Roman school bell once more sum-
mons us to the class room, to our
work and study. When we enter the
assembly room we are wont to scan
the new and the familiar faces
searching, as it were, for those who
have entered new fields. Some say
the class rooms and corridors seem
Quieter-more silent than usual.
The first day of school in Roman,
September 10th, found 1855 enrolled.
September 111th, 213 were in actual
attendance.
This year we welcome four new
teachers to our faculty, Miss Swar-
stad in the second and third grades,
Miss Irwin in the fifth and sixth
grades, Miss Shull and Mr.. Rehberg

BABIES

Being a very young baby is prob
ably most eXasperating affair. A
young baby almost invariably is SO
furious over the whole matter as to
grow very red in the face and eX-
postulate wrathfully in a high key.
After yelling with remarkable en-
ergy and application all morning a
baby will knock off for while when
it hears the noon whistle and start
in when it wakes up again.
Much has been said about the
young fathers establishment and anx-
iety at sight of his first born and his
earnest hope that it will develop
something of more human aspect.
He would not be surprised to see it
streak across the room and chatter at
him from the top of the bureau.
A young baby, however, usually re-
CARDS it's father with distrust and
suspicion. Here is the man who pro-
poses to bring it up, an unpleasant
ordeal enough, and furthermore if it
has to be brought up it would rather
have it done by most anyone else
than this light-headed gawk who is
going to be nasty just because he
happens to be it's male parent. On the
whole, a baby doesn't take much of
shine to it's father.
BY way of reprisal it usually goes
in for vocal expression, thus serving
two ends, as it gets even with the
comic weeklies with refined humor.

Z" go-as-far-as-you-ik suggestion
(and, by the way, his recollection is
originators of the suggestion, too
but that point is immateriaD begs
space for a few observations.
AS your editorial states, there were
two principals to this proposition 10
inform President Wilson that the edi
tors Of South Carolina endorse his
course in the conduct of the war. The
iriginators of the suggestion, "too
young and bashful,' to use his own
words, to make public utterance of his
patriotic sentiments, is a venerable
Confederate veteran, whose sincerity
and bravery are beyond question, and
the one who was requested to propose
the resolution is a veteran" of the
Spanish-American war, who yolun-
teered from his natv. city, Orange,
burg, at the first call of President
Mckinley for troops, May 5, 1898. IRE
member that date, Messrs. Editors?)
At that time no thought was given oy
those who volunteered to the degree
of danger that would be confronted;
it had not yet been discovered that
Spain was not a formidable foe (and
it makes one shudder even now to
think what probably would have hap
pened had this country been up
against first-class power) so those
who offered their services, and their
lives, if need be, are no doubt, de-
serving of at least slight credit. Any
way, the writer did get as far as Cuba,
and although it was too late to face
bullets, that greater enemy Of the
soldier, disease, was abroad, making
service even in an army OF occupa-
ton is a very hazardous business.

Ie seems from what the daily papers
are saying that Mr.. Creel, the news
censor appoisted by the president, is
giving out the news that is not news
and fixing it so that it will arouse the
patriotic spirit. That the attack OF the
U-boats on the transports with troops
was not really made and that no fight
at all was had and that no U-boats
were sunk. Better give the people the
news as it is. Of course there are
some things for the good of the army
that should not be given but if there
are engagements better let the people
know about it and give the facts as
they are.

the answer, not to mention certain

ing OF the schools.
The fact is there is more IN the
teacher than in the text book any
way. And really til, re is not so mate
rial a difference in the merit of the
standard books. We have no doubt the
board did what it thought was best
and no one questioned the motives OF
the board. Sometimes when We see
some of the children going to schoo.
with a whole load of books we are re-
minded of what we heard an educator
say on one occasion that they were
being taught by averdupois, or some
thing like that.
We have not seen the new history
of South Carolina by Simms which
has been adopted, bat there was GER
tainlr need of a South Carolina his
tory of the schools, but there was
none. At the last adoption Chapman's
was left off and book adopted that
was no aistory at all. 1t did have
some good biographies of South Caro-
lima men in it, but did not purpot to
be a history Of the State.
