TO THE OLD YEAR

Good Bye. Old Year, With noisless
steps and slow
You slip into the darkness and the
deep
|, flushed cloisters of forgetfulness
where creep
The vague and shadowy myths Of
Long Ago;
And where the Silence of the vanish
ed years
Breaks into voice upon the windless
shore
Vou enter peaceful Ravens. never
more
To toss upon the tempests Of wild
But there are burrows sown with
your old seed
To burst ia bloom again tho you
be fled,
And light again for me the olden
Deep in my heart are left old songs
that breed
That raptured hopes Of all your
gallant dead,
No other year can give TO my de-
sire.

BOOSTING FOR BEREA

We are boosting for Berea. We
want the business men in Berea to
get the business. We want them to
prosper, Of course we do. We be-
hove in cooperation. We believe
tina. if you work with us and we
work with you, the year 1923 will be
a prosperous year for us all.
II you are dissatisfied with the
sort of paper your publisher is put
ting out, remember that it is not all
his fault. He is doing the best he
can with the amount Of money you
have invested in him. You do not
want your local paper to be support
ed by advertisers in neighborins
towns. This is bad business. II pulls
people away from Berea, and it
doesn't look good to those in other
parts Of the country.
This leads us to say that The Citi.
zen is getting out for distribution
thruout this locality very attractive
almanac for 1923. This almanac will
BE- distributed to every Citizen sub
scriber in Madison and neighboring
counties, and to every family in Be
rea, and also there will be free dis
tribution of these almanacs to peo-
pie in the outlying neighbo-hood
who are not readers Of The Citizen.
We want this almanac not only to
signalize the energy of the Berea
Publishing Company, but we want 1.
to stand for the business enthusiasm
Of the people of Berea. We do not
want this almanac to contain only
advertisements from business men in
Richmond and neighboring towns.
When our representative calls on
you for an nd. in the next day or so
for this almanac, get one ready 70:
him, and il you are not now a sub
scriber for your local paper, start
the New Year right by sending US

Assuring you Of our sincere wishes
for your prosperity and happiness
during the year 1928, we beg to re-

Vocational Education Demanding Right-of. Way
Home Making and Farming call for Specialized Training

The term vocational education" II
new to a great many people-in fact,
II is new to practically all of us. A
great many people in the past just
picked out a profession and in a more
ov less haphazard way began to ply
their trade. II he happened to be \
doctor, he sometimes went into the
under aking business on he side, fer
il was a very profitable business In
connection with his major profession.
II he chose In be teacher, he con.
WINGED the local trustee that he couli
read and cipher, ard he was given
the home school. II he preferred
blscksmithing, he learned by the
trial and failure method un' II he be
cpme some kind Of a blacksmith. II
he failed to temper the AK properly
while welding on new blade, he
charged to bad luck or the dark Of
the moon. Most Of our pioneer pro-
fessions were filed in the same way,
and the good people trusted TO kind
providence to make it come out all
righ..
II is regrettable that some Of the
most important professions Of life
are still conducted In the same way.
/; is within the memory of our youns
men that the Science of Ag-icul ure
became recognized by people other
than the Schools of Agriculture.
Farmers in many places plant their
potatoes according TO the condition
Of the moon. The scientific farmer
does not plant his pc atoes in the
moon-he plants them in the ground.
The unscientific farmer will not de-
horn his calves during dog days, for
he claims II will settle in their heads
He does not say what will settle in
their heads. He has just followed
the supers ition and allowed his con-
duct to be governed accordingly. The
scientific farmer, by process Of study
and analysis, learns when the condi-
ton Of his soil Is right and the sea-
son proper, then he plants his seeds.
Science in Agriculture does not
teach you that all the old methods
are wrong-but it teaches You the
reason why all the old successful
methods were successful. II ceases
to become superstition and guess
work ard becomes q science.

make it next to impossible for a new
person to break thru. Others will tel
you that your education depends up

you have not kept the prescribed

not including those killed in strikes,
riots, etc, that there were 81 per-

Thirty Of the persons lynched were
taken from the hands Of the law, IL
from jails, and II from officers of the
law outside of jails.
! also find that there were So in
stances in which officers of the law
prevented lynchings.. Fourteen of
these instances were in Northern
States and a Were in Southern
States. In 81 Of the cases the pris-
lovers were removed or the guards
were augmented or other precautions
aiken. In the other instances,
armed force was used to repel the
wculd-be lynchers. In 10 instances
convictions carrying penitentiary sen
fences were secured against alleged
lynchers.
OF the 81 persons lynched in 1922,
81 were Negroes and 8 were whites;

They lure my heart in dreaming
To fields of yesterday.

among all men Of correcting ~the
ignoble excess of noble feeling"
There is a wise and true phrase.

just laugh at the philosopher who
tells you that it is too late to be-
gin.
Time and space will not permit US
to enumerate the men and women
who began their education late in
life.
A very important department in
Berea College is the Foundation
School, for it deals with the funda-
mentals of education and eliminates
lot Of children's play that is neces-
sory in the average graded school t.
keep the youngsters still. The stu
dents of the Foundation School are
past the restless period. They do
not require busy work to keep them
still, for they are young men and
women with a conviction Of their
needs and have found a place to
meet those needs.
II young man has more years to
his credit than he has grades in
school, it is no hardship in Berea, for
age is not the main consideration.
Ambition and desire for an educa.
tion are the great requirements. Do
you desire to improve your educa
ion? Do you crave to get away
from home for a few months and get
acquainted with other people? Do
you wish to get into crowd Of young
people very like yourself in age and
purpose? II you can say Eyes" to
ali the above questions, there is q
place in the Berea Foundation School
for you.
