MARINES GALE FOR WEN.

The soldiers now in France will
have to be returned to America in the
near future and the U. S. Marine Corps
is after men to take their places En-
listment is now open to previous SER
vice men for special limited service in
France. These men will be transferred
to Quantico, Virginia, to be outfitted
and then sent direct to France, where
they will remain until the coming fall,
when all troops will be withdrawn and
discharged as soon sthey arrive in
the United States. This is good
chance for the men who did not get
across to see France and return in
about seven months to be discharged
Enlistments are now open to boys OIL
seventeen. The U. S. Marines serve on
all the big battle ships as well as on
land and in the air. 1t is three in one
service. To see the world with the Ma
rines is a liberal education for any
boy. The nearest recruiting station is

More Pay for Japanese Soldiers.

In the opinion of the Jifi, the pay
of japanese soldiers is too small. At
present it is 1.56 yen (7S cents) per
month for first and second class pri-
Yates, and 1.95 (9S cents) for cor
porals. Even if the pay be increased
SO per cent, says the editor, it will
not suffice for the needs of the SOL
diers. At present, they have to get
money from home to make up the
shortage, which is not right. The
total pay of the soldiers amounts to
$2,150,000. If it is trebled, the
government will need only s4,300,-
600 additional. If the government is
determined on this increase, it will
not be difficult to get the money, the
editor asserts.

Cotton Fire at Darlington.

Darlington, S. Co.. April Fire
of unknown origin, discovered in the
warehouses adjoining the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway station early to-
night destroyed over 1000 bales of
cotton in the warehouses and on the
platform adjoining. Most of the cot
ton was the property of Vernon COM
pany, of Darlington, but there were
other losers also. The loss is es-
timated at more than $250,000. In
addition to the cotton large quanti-
ties of groceries and fertilizers, the
property of the Cox-Vernon company
were stored in the warehouses and
were lost. 1t was late in the night
before the fire was under control af-
ter warehouses and platform, 400
feet in length had been completely
destroyed. The fire had gained
much headway before it was discov-
cred by citizens.

in all the schools visited would i'm

formulated definite plans for the

class room work was clear-cut and
impressive. This is result of the
Minnesota plan of teacher-training
in high schools and normal schools"

TO GET FEDERAL MONEY.
State Highway Commission Explains
Plans OF Expenditure.

Columbia, April 10.-The State
Highway commission is frequently
asked by county officials and interest
ed citizens what steps are necessary
in order to secure the large sums Of
federal money which are now availa-
BILE for building roads in South Caro-
lima.
1t is necessary first of all for the
county road officials to pass a reso-
luton asking the State Highway COM
mission for federal aid for building
a certain section or sections of the
State highway system in their coun-
ties. These resolutions must pro-
vide for the money to defray half Of
the cost This money to cover the
federal funds can come from the
county treasury or from municipali-
ties, or from private individuals.
There is one instance on record III
which a private corporation in South
Carolina agreed to provide part of
the funds necessary to build an i'm
portant bridge.
After the county road authorities
notify the State Highway commis-
sion by resolution that they want to
build a part or parts of the State
highway system in their county and
that half the money necessary is
available, the State Highway COM
mission sends an engineering party
to survey the road to be built. Af-'
ter these surveys are made, the State
Highway commissions engineers
prepare a careful estimate of the
cost of the work to be done, togeth-
er with complete description of the
work, including blue prints and
plans. All of this data is forwarded
to the secretary of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, Mr.. D. F. Hous-
ton, who is South Carolinian. The
secretary of agriculture approves the
project, and the State Highway COM
mission in cooperation with the coun-
ty authorities proceeds to ask for
bids from contractors.
After securing a satisfactory bid
the contract is let and the federal
government pays half the cost of the
road building.
The same process is followed in
securing federal money for building
bridges.

The mesmeric spell which had been
cast upon the people as result OF
reading daily IAN unbroken chain of
victorious announcement, DR.. Much
lon points out, was dissipated when
Foreign Secretary Won Kuehlmann
declared publicly that the war could
not be won "militarily." 1t cost
Won Kuehlmann his post but it awak-
ened the German people to the fact
that they were on the pricipice of ma
tional disaster. Thereafter the cen
sors permitted less optimistic and
bombastic news reports.
Loss of the war was charged by
the former Krupp experts to two
grave mistakes by Won Ludendorff,
described as the 'brains of the Ger
man army" in his failure, first, cor
rectly to estimate the wonderful pos
sibilities of the American troop trans
port and his false assumption that

carefully reserved strength, used

fort to win, virtually killed his
mount and yet lost after all.

of Minnesota tax themselves heavily
and ungrudgingly for educational
purposes, according to Lueco Gunter,
State supervisor of rural schools,
who short time ago returned from
a trip in the Northwest. The people
of this Western State, said Mr.. Gun
ter, prefer the consolidated school in
preference 70 the one-teacher school.
The school buildings are well built
and sanitary and the teachers are in
telligent and are thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the subjects they teach, he
stated. Mr.. Gunter's article, which
follows, shows that Minnesota is pro-
gressive in it's educational ideas.
''In making an inspection of coun-
try schools in Minnesota the State
supervisor of rural schools in South
Carolina was interested most in the
type of work done in the consolidated
schools. Only portion of one day
was given to study of the one
teacher school problem. The one
teacher schools were visited in Jack
son county. The rural school COM
missioner of Minnesota said that in
equipment and teaching conditions
these two schools were typical of the
one-teacher schools in section of
the State that is mainly agricultural.
I'm Jackson county the one-teacn-
er schools are usually two or three
miles apart. In that open prairie
country visitor at one school house
can frequently see the school house
in the adjoining district. A few mod
ern one-teacher buildings, costing
$4,000 and more, are being erected.
But such a school usually blocks a
consolidation movement in the sur
rounding territory, and for that rea-
son the State authorities do not en-
ergetically promote campaigns for
new one-teacher school buildings. In
Jackson county very few one-teacher
buildings have been erected and
nearly all of the one-teacher houses
are of the type visited.

the log cabin school houses and are
today usually in good state of pres
ervation. They are of the traditional
"car-box" type, with the door at one
end, the chimney at the other and
the windows in each side. We are
familiar with this type in South Car
olina.
t'It is in the teaching equipment,
the preparation of the teacher and
the consequent better class room
work that the Minnesota one-teacher
schools surpass ours.s Every one
teacher school in Minnesota must
have a jacket stove, thus providing
for ventilation independently of the
windows. These schools must have
a sanitary drinking fountain, 100
square feet of slate blackboard, a
suspended globe, a complete set of
wall maps and desks adjusted to the
size of the pupils. The 121 teacher
training courses in high schools of
the State send into the one-teacher
schools each year from 1900 to
1900 teachers, with at least one year
of normal training. The character

slid DOWN THE
SLIPPERY WAY"

Keichstag and people found them
selves without that strong lead
which. generally speaking. they
lonred for. and aid with the govern.
ment down the slippery way. The
tremendous questions arising out Of
the war were more and more thrus;
on one side, for peoples minds were
occupied with questions Of internal
politics and thoughts OF self. This
meant the ruin OF our country.
General headquarters urged the
view that II would be time enough
for us to LAY down our arms and
think about Understandings when hu.
man nature had undergone a change.
otherwise We were bound TO suffer.
The palm Of peace is no defense
against the sword. "A long az hui

kind has ever been. Germany. and
in any event. the field marshal and
I. as the responsible military com
manders. must retain our hold OF the
sword and keep Il sharp.
II was. therefore. our serious duty.
in dealing with the government. to
insist on the necessary war measures
being carried out. and TO try and in.
fuse into them that degree Of deter.

quired.
