Every now and then l hear some
good citizen make te remark that this
department took up too much space IN
The Herald and News and then some
one will say that the name of the pa
per should be changed to the New
berry County School news or some
thing Ike that. And then some one
will say that when he sees the head
ing he just skipped that over. Wei,
may be there is at times more IN this
column than there should be out l
am persuaded that if The Herald and
News can help to arouse an interest
in the schools of this county and can
contribute something to the improve
ment of the school conditions IN the
rural districts it will have given the
best service to the children of the
county that it is possible for any
agency to render. am sure that 4
great many of the readers OF tals pa
per are infested in the schools Of the
county and are interested IN their m
provement. In order to do anything
worth while you must arouse an en-
thusiasm in the job and get the peo-
ple to see what is needed and then
they will do it. Publicity is great
thing in any business or undertaking,
I went over to Vaughnville las
Tuesday and had another meeting
with the trustees and submitted the
plan for a building and we are now
getting estimates on the cost OF the
building and if we can see wnere we
we have the money to put : up am
sure we are going to build this model
building and that we will have mod
ell school at this place. And IN ada--
ton a real community house ard tii&t
is what we need in every rural COM
munity in the county. l am to meet
the trustees again next Tuesday to
see what we can do after estimates
are in. In order to let Mr.. Pmson
bid on the job along with other con-
tractors I drove over TO Cross. Hill
and beyond On TUESDAY to the home
Of Mr.. Pinson and left the plans with
him. The road from Vaughnv.!le to
Cross Hill is very coed but not as
good as the Newberry roads. l. IS
a fact that the highways in Newoec-
ry are the best We have seen. And
the road from Newberry to Chappells
is fine and I hope it may continue IN
the same condition. The engineers
are expecting the contract to be let
for the building of the road from the
river to Chappells in few days and
then it will be fine going over home
and on to Greenwood.

The significance OF the various
cadet insignia is not we'll known.
Here is some information regarding
it.
The cap insignia is the great seal
of the United States. with the let

Colleges Offer
Opportunities
to High Schools
AGNES Ne Ell ROY

Collegiate opportunities are pick
ing up. In addition TO the host
of offers and scholarships open
annually. embracing practically
every university and college OF
note in the United States, new
offers are constantly being brought
before the student bodies.
Five new scholarships are Of
fered by Swarthmore College.
Swarthmore is a co-educational in
stitution. located in a pleasant
suburb OF Philadelphia. The school
maintains as It's principal feature
a general academic course. and
the student body is limited to 500
girls and 500 boys. The offer
mentioned above is evidently open
to both boys and girls.
For those hoping TO attend Hsr-
ward. news that new offers Of
assistance in the freshman year,
through the college aid fund,
should be welcome to all who hes
itate because OF cost. Harvard is
noted as a poor mans college"
and with the new offers OF aid
added to the many already avail
able, any determined boy should
not find his way to this superb
institution blocked because Of
financial lack. Harvard, as is
well known is situated in Cam.
bridge near Boston and has many
specializing schools in addition to
the regular college, all OF which
have the highest rating.
The third offer newly noted is
of interest to the girls who may
have aspirations toward Barnard
College, inasmuch as several new
scholarships to this institution are
now available TO girls. Barnard
is the woman's college of Colum-
bia University, and is situated in
New York City.

The picked men from the rifle
team of Tech who are to repre-
sent Tech at the Stokes Cup
match, Astor Cup match, inter
high school match, and the W. r.
Ar match. are fast drumming into

ture was given to the cadets Of
the Second Regiment by Walter
Stokes, a former cadet captain
and now one of the worlds expert
rifle shots, in which he completely
took apart to the most intricate
parts the new Springfield rifle
just issued to the corps. Mr..
Stokes completely explained the
care and nomenclature of the
rife.
At the same time the big regi-
mental dance of the Second Regi.
ment was announced and COM
pletely described by the regimental
commander. II will be held at the
Hadleigh Hotel Apartments on
Easter Monday, April II. Punch
will be served and a good time is
expected for all. The dance will
be for the benefit of the cadets Of
the Second Regiment. and every
one is cordially invited to attend.

1t was the extreme good fortune
of all Blue and White boy students
to hear DIR. Barker deliver Il talk
last week on the ways and means
of going out into the world with
the requisites and characteristics
which win ultimately spell success.
DIR. Barker, who is a nationally
known physical training authority
and who during his life has taught
gymnastics and physical culture
to men high up in diplomatic cir
cies, including former President
Howard Taft, gave as his text
three requisites that every boy
must have to accomplish things,
namely, a strong arm, a clear
head and a brave heart.
GIVE THREE AXIOMS.
DIR. Barker told The manner in
which he had come into associa-
ton with these three sxioms "on
how to attain success" relating as
how a no less great a man than
The late President Garfield had
used them in addressing DIR. Bar
ker's graduating class at college.
However, the noted boyologist
added that his class was unfor-
tunate in that Garfield only men
toned the three necessities and
failed to. explain them. the result
being that many misinterpreted
their meanings.
Because of the discrepancies
that occurred in their interpreta-
tons, DIR. Barker took the pains
to paint each one vividly to Central
students.
Primarily" explained DIR. Bar
ker. everybody must have
strong arm, and by that do not
mean a great physical structure,
as the late ex-President Roosevelt,
who later passed the most perfect
physical examination ever recorded
at Harvard, was stoop-shouldered
and asthma-stricken during youth.
BY a strong arm, / mean that a
boy should, indulge in exercises
and form habits that will enable
him to combat the temptations
and failures in future life. One
necessarily does not need giant
structure TO be a fine physical
specimen"
According to DIR. Barker, "a
Clear Headed being is that per-
son who can concentrate to the
utmost and who will allow no
distraction to enter into his brain

Teachers Come
To Help Tech

The Tech faculty has received
three new instructors, who help
greatly toward relieving the
strain caused by overcrowded
classes. The departments of
French. History and English
have each been augmented by one
member.
Miss octavie Arnauld, formerly
of Lyons, France is now teaching
French I'm conjunction with the
three teachers already in that de-
partment. Miss Arnauld came to
America in September. 1918, sent
by her government as a reward for
scholarship par excellence. She
has recently been studying at
Trinity, here. for her masters
degree.
Mr.. Andrew M. Welt, OF In
diana, has classes In history and
Economies. Mr.. Welt is a grad
uate of @. w. u, having prev.
lously attended Indiana. He Is
likewise In preparation for his
masters degree.
DIR. Hemelt, who has been
attached to the English depart
ment, has for sometime taught at
the Catholic University.
All three are popular with their
students and have become a part
of the system.
The Washington times., 1922-04-16

when he is pursuing some fixed
study. DIR. Barker substituted
many humorous examples to prove
his contentious of the wrong ways
of studying and the trends Of diff.
ferent minds. "a Tube" was tne
manner in which DR.. Barker
characterized the diploma OF the
high school graduate. He said
that when a pupil received one Of
these Tubes" he was under the
impression that he was educated.
DIR. Barker quoted Thomas Huxley,
the old philosopher and scientist,
who has written about the best
explanation of the purpose of an
education that we have ever heard.
THE purpose or education
wrote Huxley" he said, "is TO
train the mind and the will to do
what you have to do, when II ought
to be done, whether you want to
or not"
The third and last axiom, that
of a brave heart, is not what enc
might infer. DIR. Barker charac-
terized II as the greatest and most
important of the axioms and that
although It was seemingly simple,
1t was the hardest Of the three
to accomplish. by a brave heart,
l mean that mental power and self
control to say No to temptation
He gave several vivid examples.

Yale Offers NeW

Yale College requirements, the
subject of a brief talk by DIR.
Kaufman of the d. c. Yale
College Alumni Association, was
the principal business of the last
Western Senior Class meeting.
Dr. Kaufman emphasized that
he was not endeavoring to per-
suade those boys who already had
chosen a college. but was speak
ing with the intention of inter
esting IN Yale any boy who had
not decided which institution he
would attend next year. The
speaker invited all boys genuinely
interested In Yale to be present
