1t would be wrong to omit men-
tion of the wonderful loyalty of our

nancial support. We have worked
hard and spent much money on en-
terprises, both meritorious and 9TH

time when we have failed to meet
any promise of financia! support,
even tho the project might seem in
consequential or lacking in merit to
some men of sound judgment. Con-
slider our subscription to Liberty
bonds in the face of apparent finan-
cial depression; the first and second
oversubscribed with little solicta-
tion, the third almost doubled with
out undue pressure, the fourth "ov-

fifth in sight and every one prepar-
ing to meet it. Over-subscription of

BESTOWlNG GIFTS IN SECRET
Practice Of Putting Out Shoes and
Stockings Resulted From Plan
Of st. Nicholas.

Christmas stockings have come
down to US from the good st. Nicholas,
who was saint Of the fourth century
Of the Christian era and was born De-
cember 9, 342, in Lycia, Asia Minor.
He was regarded as especially the pa
tron saint Of children, young girls and
sailors. The Christmas stocking. Gus
tom arose as follows:
It seems that st. Nicholas, who was
the archbishop Of Myra, lived In the
same town with an impoverished no
bleman who, because he had no por-
tions to give his daughters and, In
deed, no means with which to support
them, was about to sell them into q
life of sin. st, Nicholas, who was ac-
customed to dispense his large for
tune In gifts Of charity, resolved to res,
cue the young women. As he ap-
preached their house, wondering how
he should proceed, the moon shone out
and displayed an open window. In.
stantly st. Nicholas threw q purse Of
gold In at this window which, falling
at the feet Of the father Of the girls,
enabled shim to portion his oldest
daughter. The second time st. Mich,
olas visited the house he also was able
to throw purse of gold through an
open window, thus providing for the
portion Of the second daughter. On
the third visit the father, watching for
his benefactor, cast himself at the feet
of the saint and cried:
"Oh, st. Nicholas, servant Of God.
why seek to hide thyself?s
The saint made the father promise
not to reveal his benefactlons. From
this habit Of bestOwing gifts in secret
and under the cloak of night arose the
practice Of putting out shoes or stock
ings for the younger members of the
family so that the good saint would be
able to fill them without being spled
on.

Illiteracy and Compulsory Education

The discussion or the subject, H.
literacy and Compulsory Education,
was opened by Or. Augustus Q.
Thomas of Augusta, State superin-
tendent OF public schools, who spoke
in substance as follows:
The United States is more vitality
interested in education now than ever
before. Next TO the winning of the
war. education occupies the national
mind more than any other move
mcnt. Education is essential to a
democracy and the transmission of
the ideals of democracy and to their
extension to other nations of the
earth. America is no longer proyin-
cial. At the opening of the great
war national confines so far as in
fluenCe Is concerned. were obliterated
and the United States accepted a DO
sition as the national school master
of the world.
The uneducated may function in an
autocracy, but the uneducated can
not function in a democracy The
world war is between these two prea,
ideals of government. Our foe he
lieves that the individual exists for
the state We believe that the stata
should exist for the good of the ipdi-
vidual. The old idea of keeping men
ignorant in order to keep them sub
missive has given place to a broader
philosophy of education for all man
that all men may be self-governine
In the present war we have fe,, tho
