jackson County High School
Has Splendid Enrolment.

The jackson County High Sc,
hool reOpened Dec. 80, ami the
interest and enrolment have
been growing almost dolly. The
average interest by next week
will, no doubt. be as great as it
has been at any time since the
opening last August,
The following students have
enrolled for the first time: Joe
Myers. Ernest Meadows, Lee
Sadler Darwin. Georgia Flynn
and Drewey Birdwell. Lillian
Meadows, who has recently had
measles, will soon return. 9th.
er high school pupils will enroll
next week,
The roll of honor students for
the third month are. Reba
Smith. Willio Smith, Lillian Mea-
dows. Rose Sadler, Elizabeth
Sadler, Edna Smith, Corninne
Tinsley, Doris Johnson, Willard
Johnson. These students did
not miss a day. a recitation, or
were ever tardy.
The students who are in regu-
lar attendance form the nucleus
of the school. The life of the
school centers around the nucleus.
Regular students demonstrate
the life Of a school. Each par
ent might ask the question, is
my child a part of the heart of
the SCHOOL,"
The writer will give concrete
examples of regular attendance
upon school: Maxine Gamer,
Lexington, Tenn, missed three
DAYS in December, this being the
first she had missed from school
since entering seven years ago.
In the same school Elizabeth Ball
forced to miss school in Decemb-
er broke a four years record.
Georgia Mccall in December still
had an unbroken record for sew
en- years.
Education is a growth, and is
not obtained by leaps and bounds.
This matter of education should
be made a business-an import
ant business and not a side line.
About the only way to maintain
an interest in school is for the
child to make a record both in
regular and puncual attendance.
Success in some studies demands
just this kind of attendance. IT.
regular attendance leads to nc
knowledge or fragmenta r v,
which is of little use.
The child's interest should be
permanent and not temporary.
A parents carelessnese or in.
difference may lead to a loss OF
interest in the child. While the
child is interested, don't kill the
interest, it means too much to
your child. Most children would
accomplish a great deal, if they
were kept in school for the re.
mainder Of the year, nineteen
weeks.

ROnflres in ENGLAND.

The bonfires which lit up London
during the armistlce celebrations were
familiar sights in London in Henry

months of June and July, says Old
Stow the ChrOnicler, ''bonefres," as
they were called in his day, were made
in the streets, "every man bestowlng
wood or labor toward Them" Citizens
set out tables near the fires, with
plentiful refreshments, on festival
days, and thereunto they invited their
nelghbors, and passengers" also, ITO

FLOWER HOLDERS FOR TABLE
lVory-Colored Porcelain Makes Up At
traetiVe Set for a Pleasing
Centerplece.

Several years ago, when sets Of
porcelain flower holders, which, linked
together to form a great centerpiece,
came in, they caused almost a dinner
sensation. They seemed too much of
a vogue to stay, but they are here still.
One such set that recently attracted
attention is made Of ivOry-colored
porcelain. There are several narrow,
troughllke flower holders that, pushed
together, form an irregular oblong in
the center of the table. Small, short
stemmed flowers are arranged in
masses In these dishes.
Then there are eight tall candle.
sticks to match, and they are grouped
around the flower dishes. A mirror
fits nicely into the space defined by
the flower dishes, and Of course re-

The unheralded advent Of leather
coats in the autumn fashions gave the
public a jolt and a surprise. 1t is
whispered, writes a correspondent,
that even the designers were not quite
aware of the strength that the fash
ion would assume. Waistcoats Of
leather jackets of leather and fur
combined, were taken up by smart
women in war work and remained as a
street costume for peace activities.
The idea brought about a train of
other ideas. Soft suede and pliable
leather have been brought out for
spring jackets. The suede is dyed in

Thank goodness for that! 1t is a
fortunate thing that the entirely un-
selfish woman no longer exists or that
any woman who still is constituted af-
ter this fashion is not appreciated
these days.
We don't want martyrs in our homes
any more. The day Of slaves is gone,
the woman who still has no time for
self-development-whlch is what the
"selhsh" women of today are dolng-is
out Of place. The labOr-saving house
hold devices were not invented as Or
naments. They were invented so that
women would use them ard have time
to become more wonderful and better
as a result.
The world is too wide-awake to be
able to tolerate a woman who can
speak only Of how she starches cur
tains and how she cooks her pOtrOast
tender The world wants women who
read the newspapers, who know some
thing Of the progress Of science and
invention, who take more than a cas-
ual peep out their back doors. The
uDselhsh woman who sacrifices herself
for her home to such an extent that
she cannot develop her mind and soul
is a creature Of the dark ages. We
