.Supt. Clayton Re-
signs to Enter Army

1t will be of interest to people in ev-
cry section of Pickens county to learn
that Superintendent of Education F.
Van Clayton has resigned in order that
he may enlist in either the U. S. army
or navy and fight for his country. He
has offered his resignation to the gov
ernor to take effect May 81 and he eX-
poets Immediately thereafter to enter
the service.
Prof. Clayton was placed by the ex-
emption board in Class Sd and there
was little chance of him being drafted,
at least soon; but he volunteers from
purely patriotic motives. He has rec
commended that former superintendent
r. Il. Hallum be appointed to fiji out
his unexpir9d term.
The following letters explain them
selves:

rylng on the educational work of our
state during these perilous times, vet l
feel that competent man can be Sc
cured to fill my place, who as yet, should
not consider military service. feel it
my duty to 90, and to refrain would, in
my own mind, brand me as n man not
worthy to be protected by the govern
ment under which am living.
In reslgning my office trust that the
man who takes my place will feel the
IRE, of inspiration for the schools of
Pickens county, as was made to feel
for my country, when an acquaintance
OF mine told his son on leaving for the
army to ever keep in mind the right
eousness of the cause for which you are
hghtlng; remember that you are man;
go over the top and give them HI"
Yours very truly,

with the local health authorities. the child welfare campaign work is stead fly going on in Putnam. This week the public health nurse, Miss Linden, will spend most of her time visiting the parents of babies that have been examined during the past three weeks. In this follow -up work Miss Linden prescribeS corrective measures for the defects that have been revealed by the examinations, It was originally plan ned to discontinue all the weighing, measuring and examination of chil- dren Aug. 1, but as only 150 babies had been examined up to last Thurs day, it has been decided to continue this phase of the campaign indefinite ly. Examinations will no longer be made at the Israel Putnam school, but instead will be made in the Providence street section of the city.
 Saturday, Aug. 10 those in charge Of the campaign are to hold demon stration in the vacant store at 1S5 Providence street. At this time Miss Linden will weigh and measure babies, and talk to parents; but particular emphasis is to be placed on a milk demonstration that has been arranged by the Windham County Farmers as- sociation under the direction of Miss Charlotte Embleton. This exhibit aims to show the value of milk, not only as beverage, but as a food. The amount of various foods necessary to equal the rood value of a quart of milk will be shown. Free literature will be dis tributed. At the same time similar exhibition will be held in the rooms in Union block formerly occupied by the Tucker store
 At the demonstration on Providence 1tT foS. ents the correct way of preparing dishes in which milk is the chief con- stituent.
 Those in charge of the campaign are somewhat disappointed that not more parents have brought children for examination. Mrs. AnSon B. Handy, president of the Parent Teachers as sociation, said Saturday that it had been expected that far more children would be measured and weighed than have been; but even though the num- Der is small, she felt convinced that the campaign was by no means a the necessity Of having public health nurse in Putnam permanently.
