4 ROME PROTECTS THE HOME.
Algerian Bcrbcrs Have Strange
Charm Against EVIL Eye"

From ~" cleveland ram pea'er'
Following the Biblical thought
that opulguce Is shown by the pro-
fusion Of honey Il host sets before
his guest. the people who live IN
eastern Algeria always have a few
bcchives near their homes. Some
times the Berber will place the bee
hives on the roof Of his house.
,rbo rerhars know bees 90 well
ard like borev so much that from
earliest infancy they look upon the
bee as a friend who must be guarded
and need not be feared. The Berber
housewife takes great care of her
bees She makes sure that a sand
storm suddenly sweeping across the
great desert will not utterly ruin tho
hcchivcs. Sho protects the hives,
their store of honey and the work
ers who make the honey by covering
the hives with mats.

Death Of a Little Child.

Death entered the home of Ben
ME Hurst and wife Wednesday
night and claimed their little
boy, two years old. He is report
ed to have died from membran-
eous Group, being i'll just a short
time. In this sad hour, as they
grieve over the loss of this dear
little boy, these fond parents
may rest assured that their many
friends enter with them into
their sorrows as deeply as they
can. 1t is but another little one
added to heavens great roll, for
it was the Master who said 'Suf-
fer little children to come unto
me and forbid them not for of
such is the kingdom of heaven. /"
The Independent extends SYM

hour.

The Schools,

Reports coming in from the
various schools indicate the larg-
est enrolment ever had for the
first week. This shows that ev-
cry body is cooperating in the
observance of the attendance
law. The teachers are hereby
again reminded of their duty in
securing, first the enrolment of
the pupils, and second, their reg
ular attendance. No day should
pass without the teacher calling
attention to the Importance of
regular attendance. The children
will bear the message home.
1t is being illustrated every
day that children want to go to
school; and that they like to go.
The thing that has stood in their
way so long is the indifference
of their parents, and in some
case the absolute unwillingness
of the parents.
A parent asked me recently to
excuse his l6 year old boy from
attending and | asked him on
what ground, and he said he
needed the boys work. And !
asked him if ne wasn't done
gathering and he replied that he
was, but he had a lot of hauling
to do and needed the boy for
that this winter. / suggested to
him that this would be the last
school we could compel him to
send, and | thought / would be
doing the boy a great service if
/ could get him in school. The
parent agreed to start him next
day. The pathetic part of all this
story is that this is year old boy
is in the 4th grade. Excuses are
diminishing and the schools are
going to be full this winter.
| regret that we are not able
to meet the demands for seats.
The money available for this
year has already been appropria-
ted. We hope to furnish seating
to their needed capacity every
house in the county next year.
The teachers meeting will be.
held Saturday, November 26 at
Selmer. Every teacher in the
county is expected to attend; and
bring a written report covering
the first months work, and gen.
eral school conditions in the COM
munity. The program will ap-
pear next week.
