CREATE TRAINING CLASSES
FOR PROSPECTIVE WORKERS.
The main detectives OF the present
drive are: To establish a teachcr-train-
ing class for prospective workers. to
meet or sunday morning in connection

ton OF a normal class for tho better
instruct, ,nstruStion Of present officers and
brought into tho service without any
previous technical training. and the
maintenance Of workers meetings. held
monthly. in which the administrative
work Of the sunday schools may be
discussed and plans adopted for in
crcaSinE the attendance and efficiency
Of the schools.
Questions of vital interest To tho sun
tho detectives Of the drive arc con
sid"rcd, among these questions be-
ing:
|. How many officers and teachers
have gone into military service
>. How many workers have given up
their sunday school positions on ac-
count OF local war activities"
!. How has the attendance of pupils
been affected?
1. How many young men. who gave
special promise OF becoming church
leaders. have been taken into the scrv-
ice of the government?
Practically every Sunday school in
Richmond has been affected by the con
ditions brought on by the war, and
those who have the responsibility for
Sunday school work in the State are
thing at once to stem the tide and pro-
vide, not only for the present condi-
lions. but also to get into actual train
ing the young people who viii be call

of all the young women among our

page that they enlist as student
nurses. Any young woman who enters
on this noble and necessary work is
equal in bravery and devotion to a

and she may save the services of not
one but many men to her country. Let
them take note and remember that if

right now.

tain it's information that our govern
ment has. since it's inception practic-
ed this ceremony on the lowering Of
the flag" Our government has never
given any instructions about any Ger.
emony on the lowering of the flag. In
every army post and camp, the cere-
mony Of lowering the flag in the eve
ing and raising it the next morning
is observed, but prayer is not a part
of it and it isn't done by orders of the
government It is an army regulation
and our army copied it from the Brit

other European armies, including the

This pausing for brief moment at
p. m. while the flag is lowered, we
believe to be beautiful and appro-
pirate practice, especially in war time,
the Ocala Star to the contrary not
withdrawing. If the party whom the
Star editor had in mind objects to
pausing a moment to intercede with
his Maker for the success of Ameri-
can arms, certain he wouldn't hest
tate to pause as mark of respect
and reverence for the flag under
whose folds he enjoys the blessings OF
liberty-a liberty which permits him
to oppose the wishes of his govern
ment, which has, since it's inception
practiced this ceremony on the lower
ing of the flag. He can cut out Goo
and his obligations to a Supreme Be
ing if he wishes-the government fol
which the flag stands guarantees hin
that liberty-but he cannot be true
American and at the same time bt
wanting in respect to the flag. W.
have great respect for Star opinions
in the main, but here is one from
which we must dissent .-Palatks
News.
O, gee; here's another man fWht
doesn't understand the America
language. We have a flag ceremon.
in Ocala, something similar to ere
treat" in a military camp. The Sta
was foremost in supporting it whel
it was proposed, is as staunch as any
body in upholding it and as scrupu
lous as anybody in observing it. /
the editor of the News will look RICH
close at his Webster's unabridged, h
will see that "angelus" would be
very misfit name for this flag cere
mony. We yield to no one in our homo
to the flag, and believe we are dom,
about as much as the average man t
uphold it. But we don't believe il
making anybody pray unless the,
want to, and we are rather suspicion
| of people who pray in public. Chris
was suspicious of them, too, as Broth
| er Russell can see by reading Mat
thew vi:5-6.

When you see man standing bare
headed on the street talking to a lady,
it is not always politeness SO much
that makes him do it as a desire to
show off his fine head of hair. A bald
headed man never does it.-Phil Arm
strong in Times Union.
We dispute this assertion. There
are in Ocala several fne-looking bold
headed men who are often seen stand
ing bare-headed on the streets talking
to Ladies. In fact, we think one OF
them put his hat in cold storage three
months ago. We haven't seen hin,
with it on in that time. We don't
think it's any use for a man to ex-
hibit. fine head of hair to the ladies
Some of the fnest-haired men we
know carry their heads around with
them all the time, but it doesn't seem
to help them much with the fair sex
