COMPULSORY EDUCATION

The vast majority of people todav
recognize the value of an education
They know that achievement along anv
iine depends in great measure unon
the training of the mind, while on
the other hand ignorant people ami
the nations to which they belong are
the victims of false ideals and wrong
conceptions of life. 1t has been man
lfested of late as well as in more
ancient times that crime and anarchy
ana rum come more easily to those
whose minds are unable to distinguish
between sound and unsound reason
ing. Education is one method of self
preservation in respect to both indi-
vlduals and nations.
Education is not necessarily confn-
ed to the schoolroom but there are
very few who will ever ACQUIRE 4
II they fail in the matter of attend
ing school, This has long been rec
ognized by those whose business it
mas been to train the minds of the
young and the same fact has been
recognized by legislative authorities
and strlcter laws are being enacted
IN order that the important matter of
education may not be neglected.
There has been law in GEORGIA
IN regard to compelling attendance at
school for a specified period each
year, but the enforcement of the law
was dependent mainly upon school
boards and became practically dead
letter. The law has been made more
stringent in this connection and an
attendance officer will be on duty in
the county to Sc that the law is not
disregarded. This law is published
elsewhere in this issue and should be
the means of bring about more
general use of the educational facili-
ties which are furnished through the
schools of the country-Monroe Ad-
vcrtiaer,

WOMEN TO "HOUsE.CLEAN"
FLORENCE, S. C. THIS WINTER

Florence, S. c., November.-It is
to be house-cleannig time all winter
long in Florence. The women of the
town have rolled up their sleeves.
tucked up their skirts, and seized new
brooms and dust pans to sweep clean
for better health, cleaner streets and
homes, civic development, and for
keener interest in the problems of
the future citizens of Florence, the
children.
The National League for Woman's
Service has begun it's winters pro-
gram of work here. War work is over
Tor the women, and, therefore, thsi
is a new program for service through
which the town and the people will
reap the benefits. Ia facilitate the
carrying out of their plans, the Lea
que has divided the town into four
wards with a captain in charge of
each ward. Working under the cap
tain are lieutenants and various COM
mlttees who are handling all the de-
tails in connection with each under
taking.
-Four separate committees in every
ward have been formed and that the
house-cleaners may search out all the
dark, dust accommodating corners of
Florence, the house-to-house canvass
method, survival of the war, is being
used to produce results. The COM
mlttees have been named, the Com
mlttee on Health, Committee on
Cleanliness which has to do with a
campaign to keep premises, streets,
parks and public places clean; Com
mlttee for the development of the
City; and the Committee on children.
At the head of all this work is Miss
Jane Evans, South Carolina Chair
man of the League.
Perhaps the Committee on Health
has received the warmest welcome
from many busy mothers of Florence.
In each ward this committee visits
periodically all the homes to give sug
gestions to mothers in the care of
their families, to direct them to the
proper sources for medical treatment.
to bring physicians where they are
needed, and to make the necessary
follow-up visits. Best of all. how
ever, members of the committee fire.
quently take over the care of home
Tor an afternoon while the tired
mother rests.
The various food and Liberty
Loan campaigns taught us the value
of getting directly in touch with our
people," said Miss Evans, "and
through the ward organization we are
brought into contact with the prob
lens vexing the souls of Florence.
We are not waiting for the peopJe
to come to us. The war gave us our
organization and the interest of every
woman here. We will not let this in
terest die now. Our town is not very
large, but we have our problems and
the energy developed by the women
during the war is now being used to
help solve those problems"
Through the Committee for the De-
velopment of the City, the women
are attempting to register their dis
approval Of the erection of any pri-
vate residences, in fact-which will
not add to the architectural beauty
of Florence. A board of judges con-
sisting of both men and women make
up this Committee and to them are

RED CROSS
NEWS - NOTES

How Americans in the German
prison camp at Rastatt banded to-
gether to protect themselves from
anti-American propaganda in the
camp and to keep firm the loyalty
of any who might waver is revealed
by Sergeant Jules James Bach, of
Utah, three years a prisoner in four
took the form of newspapers known
as the Continental Times" and
America in Europe" which were
filled with clumsy lies about this
country and its war activities. The
German authorities also sought to
seduce the loyalty of the Americans
by giving them better treatment than
that accorded other prisoners, but
without success.
Aside from serving it's primary
purpose of nourishing the men who
received them, Sergeant Bach de-
clares that the liberality of the food
parcels supplied the American pris-
oners by the American Red Cross
had very important .effect on the
German Imagination. Many German
officers visited Rastatt to see the
food and other supplies received by
