COURSES.

Some slight changes have been
made in the curriculum of the
High School. The recitation per-
iods will be heightened just
little and the number Of periods
will be slightly decreased. 1t is
arranged that for graduation
student shall complete sixteen
credit hours. A credit hour is a
recitation In any credit subject
five days week for thirty six
weeks, recitation hours being not
less than forty five minutes. All
recitation periods this year at
Stanton will be uniformly forty
five minutes. Fifteen credit
units are all that are required
for entrance into the best colleges
and universities of this and other
states. If a student gradual es
from High School with fifteen
units he has one unit to spare.
School authorities are recon.
mending that first class High
Schools limit the credit hours TO
fifteen or sisteen units and have
the work done well. with this
arrangement no High School stu,
dent at Stanton during the COM
ing year will be compelled to re-
cite in more than five studies any
day, and this will include music,
Bible study and Domestic Science
for certain hours during the
week. 1t is the aim of the man.

TUITION.

Some inquiry has been made
about the expenses at Stanton
for the coming year. 1t is the
aim of the management of the
school to keep the expenses just
as low as possible. The tuition
for outside students below the
sixth grade will be one dollar
a month. The tuition in the
High School will be two dollars
a month. This is the old rate of
tuition. Regardless of the pres
ent high prices of commodities
in general the tuition will not be
raised this year. No tuition will
be charged the pupils of the
Stanton district attending any of
the grades. We have been wait
ing for a decision from the Board
whether High School pupils from
Powell county and particularly
Stanton school district will be
charged tuition. On account of
the absence of the Secretary from
the office during the month of
August no decision has yet been
given. We will probably have a
decision before the opening of
the school next Monday. 1t is
the object of the Board to make
the tuitions cover simply the re-
pairs and general upkeep of the
grounds and buildings, and to
keep the tuition as low as pos.
sible with this end In view. The
salaries of the teachers are paid
directly by the Board from an
other source, altogether.

TEACHERS.
An exceptionally strong facul.
ty has been employed by the
Board for the coming year. One
of the old High School teachers,
Miss Alice Childs, will return.
Miss Childs is a graduate of Mon.
mouth College, Monmouth, Ill.
She has had some years expert
ence in High School work. She
also taught one year in Cooper

hours of receiving a Masters De-
gree. She has proved herself a
strong teacher and has a host of
friends in Powell county. Miss
Childs will teach English and
History during the coming year.
In addition TO Miss Ohilds, two
other teachers have been elected
for the High School. One of them
is Miss Alberta Mcbride, Of Chat
ton, Pa. Miss Mcbride is a grad
uate of Muskingum College, New
Concord, OHIO. In reference to
her scholarship it is necessary
only to say that she stood near
the head of about sixty members.
Since graduating at Muskingum
she has had three years expert
ence in first class High School
at Burgettstown, Pa. Stanton
College is fortunate in securing
Miss Mcbride for the coming
year. She will have charge of the
language department, teaching

CONSTRUCTION PREPAREDNESS.

AS the Philadelphia Evening Ledger
very pertinently remarks, lifting its voice
against the pork insinuations that have
handicapped Our navy yard development,
there ought to be a navy yard at New
York, there ought to be one in Philadel-
phia; another at Norfolk, another at Char
lesion, and another on the Gulf Coast, prob
ably at Pensacola"
When, after waiting eighteen months for
a contractor to fulfill his obligation and he
declared that he was still too busy with Eu-
ropean orders to give the matter attention,
a shaft resurrected from the junk pile of the
Brooklyn navy yard was fitted to an Amer
lean submarine-surely no palmer proof
could be desired that if anything can escape
the porcine faint it is this form of prepared
ness.
And, although Chas. M. Schwab has
boosted that the ordnance output of the
Bethlehem Steel Company. is fifty per cent
greater than that of the Krupps, it was an
English factory that underbid the Ameri-
can by two hundred and sixty-two dollars
shell and guaranteed delivery in less than
half the time!
The millions saved by the government in
building the dreadnaught Arizona, is an
other case in point; and Secretary Daniels
now asks congress for $12,000,000 to add
to the 100000 already available, for in
creasing navy yard construction facilities;
because reasonable bids from private con-
Germs can not be secured even at unrea-
sonably high prices says the secretary,
they will not guarantee speed completion.
1t is easy enough to see why Schwab
should say there is pork in constructive
preparedness-it' his own pork gone up in
smoke, as the saying is; but thinking and
free men will not join the silly chorus Me
chanical efficiency is a great deal more i'm
portant in modern warfare than personal
bravery; unless we are able to make am
munition when it is needed, repair boat
| when it might be used, and build battle
| ship before the design is obsolete, we might
as well raise roses to strew the path of such
conquering heroes withal, as may care to
visit these hospitable shores.

Rapidly nearing completion, the Lillian
bridge will open up a valuable trade terri
tory for Pensacola Baldwin county, Ala,
lies only thirteen miles from here, and not
only will the farmers hauling produce to
Pensacola buy their supplies here, but if
our county commissioners make the road
practicable for motor trucks, the merchants
of Foley, Lillian, and liberia will find it
cheaper to get their stocks here than in
Mobile
This, however, is the least of the benefits
Pensacola and Escambia county will reap.
Baldwin county was colonized by farmers
who didn't have dollar to begin with; who
paid for the land on time, and who made a
living while they were about it. They have
not become opulent, because of financial
and marketing handicaps. because, too, for
awhile they believed the "can't-be-done' adj
vice of the natives, and until quite recently
were afraid to plant heavily of the produce
which they are now selling to such advant-
age.
The land was too sandy; there was no
subsoil the sun was too hot; the rain was
too wet; the drought was too dry; the
weeds grew too luxuriantly; the fertilizer
would leach out; something was wrong
didn't know what, but something, some
thing, something, something That was
what they were told, and that is the dismal
crv that is still being heard in Escambia
county.
But ten wagon loads of truck day will
soon be creaking from Baldwin county
Alabama, to Pensacola, and the farmers OF
Escambia will take heart from the example
and discover that with identical land. Men
tical subsoil, identical sun, identical rain,
drought, fertilizer and weeds, they too can
make good.

SANITATION VS.. IMMIGRATION.

immigration has so far been the easiest
means of increasing the population and de-
geloping the resources of the United States;
sanitation will enable us to do it at home.
Experts say that human life can be ex-
tended fifteen years by an observance of the
laws of health and common sense. If, there
fore, the average human life is extended
only one year, it will mean the equivalent of
100000 complete lives saved in each gen
Grafton
three million people in the United States
are seriously i'll all the time. Five hundred
thousand of these are consumptives, of
which 10000 die every year-,and con-
sumption is preyentable diseased
Two hundred and forty thousand have
been killed or MANNED in the last twenty
five years because they persisted in walking
on railroad tracks and hopping cars Thou
sands are killed every year in accidents
that could have been avoided.
The Importance, therefore, of the cam

stituted by the federal council of the
churches of Christ in America, representing

COO members, needs no comment

obtained, and health commissions are con-

this subject, nor can too many efforts be
