of the series.
One or more group meetings have
been held by several of the Pennsylva-

there has been an expression of conf

izations to put the Loan over. 1t is
generally admitted that there is need
of advance hustling to revive patriotic
interest, but no n doubts that the
public will respond to the right kind
of Loan appeal.
AS evidence of the interest that is al
ready being taken in the Loan and the
work that has been begun, the following
news paragraphs are noteworthy:

Why do we want the child to read?
l. To arouse its mind to activity.
2. To get the meaning, that is see
the thing or visualize the things
which he reads about.
3. We give more time to silent
reading. Why?
a. How can you tell which you
should read the more of oral or silent
reading?
The vote of the institute showed
that more time should be given to
oral reading in the first six grades.
This was a very essential lesson
given by DIR. Deahl.
Miss Talbot gave a very interes-
ting lesson in the teaching of music
to beginners.
Miss Young gave the institute
mother excellent musical entertain

BOTH ARE IMPROVING.
Prominent Bamberg Citizens, in Hos

The many friends throughout the
county of Senator j. B. Black and
the Hon. H. C. Folk, both of whom
have been undergoing treatment in
hospitals, will learn with genuine
satisfaction that both are improving,
and that their full recovery may be
early hoped for.
DR.. Black is in a hospital in Char
lesion, where he was carried for an
operation last week. An operation
was successfully performed on Tues
day of last week, and the doctor is
now rapidly recovering his strength.
Mr.. Folk is in a Columbia hospital,
and while his recovery is slow, his
condition is gradually improving. 1t
is hoped that both of these gentlemen,
who are prominent in the business
and social life of Bamberg, will soon
fully recover and return to their
homes in the city.

BAMBERG Tagging BEHIND.

The people of Bamberg might. as
we'll make up their minds that they
must spend some money for town i'm
provements, such as sewers, street
paving, etc., if they do not want the
other towns in this section to get SO
far ahead of US that we will never
catch up. Orangeburg is preparing
to vote on a bond issue of $750,000
for street paving and extension of
sewers and water mains. WATERFORD
already has a fine system of electric
lights, waterworks and sewerage, and
is preparing to vote $4,000 bonds
for street paving. Barnwell owns its
light and water plant, and is soon to
issue 100000 bonds for sewers and
paving. Williston has already voted
$4,000 for waterworks and already
has lights, and is also preparing to
votes bonds for paving it's business
street. Blackville already owns its
light plant, and will soon issue bonds
for waterworks and sewers. In the
meantime, what is Bamberg doing? ?
We are considered the best town OF
any of these, and yet they are going
ahead of us. 1t has developed that
there are no legal obstacles in the
way Of our issuing bonds for sewers
right away and it should be done.
True, we are commencing street paw
ing, which is we'll indeed, yet it is i'm
possible to pave all. our streets at
once, so we should go ahead and
make good sand-clay streets out of
those not paved. Much of this can
be done in the next few weeks with
out great cost if the cooperative plan
suggested by us last week is carried
out, but 1t will not be done unless
somebody does some work. Won't
our/mayor and city council get busy
on the. proposition before it is too
late?

progressive ideas the council has
some mistakes will be made. 1t is
entirely unlikely that any set of men
could accomplish what the present
council wants to accomplish without
erring in some particulars. Ask
yourself if you could do any better;
if you can, we need you on the next
council. If, however, when someone
breaches the subject of serving on
the council you begin to make eX-
cuses, don't criticise those who are
willing to give their time to the pub
lie.
If the council is given cooperation
it will accomplish something for
Bamberg. If you do not think some
action on the councils part is wise,
tell the council about it instead of
venting your spleen on the streets.
They are a reasonable set of fellows,
and if they are wrong, you can prob
ably show them their error
