THR HONEY BEE A MOST IN
PORTANT ACTOR IN THE
PROMOTION OF CIVIL
ZATION
(By T. X. Massie)

The Importance Of the honeybees
to man, the service they render to
him in the production Of increased
crops Of most Of the grains and vege-
tables Of all the fruit, legume and
berry crops, crops Of highest qualities
superlative in color and flavor; Of
their assistance in the promotion and
sustenance of civilization itself, are
matters but little understood and ap-
preciated by the vast majority Of
mankind. Unfortunately for man too
little intelligent thought has been
given to the subject Of agriculture in
all the past ages. The major per
cent Of the people yet regard the
subject in the light of an unimpor-
tant and frivolous human endeavor.
But instead of it being the trivial
matter usually attributed to it, it is
one Of the greatest and most impor-
tant problems Of the present day. It
may very safely be said that if the
honeybees were now extinct the world
would be facing starvation in less
than fifty years.
But how and in what way do the
bees contribute to the increase Of the
quality and quality Of the crops and
in the promotion and sustenance Of
civilization? The ultimate end
sought to be attained by nature is the
perpetuation Of the species and .
fulfilment Of the Divine edict "mul-
tiply and replenish." A practical and
scientific understanding Of just tive
items the apple and the legumes
will explain the whole situation and
fully answer the above interrogation.
The apple. while a wholesome and
necessary food for man SO far Is the
functions Of nature are concerned, IL
only . seed cup specially designed for
the protection and nourishment Of
the seeds while they are undergoing
development 70 state Of maturity,
and when TIE seeds are ripe the apple,
having fulfilled It's mission. Is ripe and
ready 70 drop to the earth whore Il
may decay and give the seeds access

Total contributed to date $20.55
We are today sending our check to
the State Department for the above
amount.
The State Department desires to
announce to the teachers that form
No. a., Teachers Term Report, and
form "A, principals Term Report,
are being revised. Also a revised
"Age-Grade distribution Sheet" is be-
ing made to attach to form No. 1,
Teachers Daily Register and Monthly
Grade Record to be used instead of
one now in the Grade Record. All
teachers will take notice that no re-
ports are to be made on the old forms
which they now have---we mean per-
manent reports. A full supply Of
new forms is promised your secre-
tary in time for term reports.
Five of our districts are getting
State aid to run their schools this
year-totaling near $4,000, and yet
we are told one district in our county
voted down the school levy, and this
district must get large sum Of mon
ey from the State to support its
schools this year. II the children Of
this district are to be in school next
year a special levy and majority Of
votes cast must be in favor of the
levy, otherwise we will be starting
a small Russia right here in the midst
of Barbour county.
Three schools in our county have
been standardized---two rooms at
Peel Tree and one at Overfield.
These communities are justly proud
Of their achievement. We do not be-
lieve that there is a better school
spirit to be found in the State than in
he immediate Peel Tree vicinity. We
are told that in the children in these
schools want to go to school before
breakfast---such is the school spirit.
But the best Of this school spirit
is that it is contagious and other
communities are being infected, and
more standard schools are to follow.
The Grove school in Philippi district
will be standardized this month and
possibly Shocks Run, Pleasant Creek
in Pleasant district any time. Others
can meet the requirements with little
effort on the part Of the teachers and
patrons.

WEST VIRGINIA is AWAKE

CHARLESTON, Jan. 10th.-West
Virginia is the only State in the I'm
ion that has a school bank system
according to report just issued by
the American Constitutional Associa-
ton, West Virginia patriotic organ
ization. During tie past year" the
report states, "the Association intro
duced school banking system in the
public schools of West Virginia which
had the unanimous approval of the
State Bankers Association and was
Endorsed by the Department of Edu-
cation. The system consists Of q
booklet containing ten blank pages.
The teachers sell five cent stamps to
the pupils who paste them on the
blank pages Of the booklet. When a
child has twenty stamps on page he
takes it to the bank Of his choice,
tears it out, and the banker accepts it
in the same manner he would check.
Later the teacher brings the money
collected fro mthe sale Of stamps to
the bank"
During the past year." according
to the report, approximately $780,
on was saved by the school children
in West Virginia. The system was
installed in 1872 communities ranging
from one room school to the largest
city in the state, Wheeling. During
aperiod of little more than three
months the school children in Wheel
ing alone saved nearly $4,000.
The plan of observing America
First Day, introduced in West Vir-
ginia by the American Constitutional
Association in 1921, was continued in
1922. This day is observed in a pat
rictic manner the Sunday prior to
July Fourth. 1t was so generally OBJ
served in our State the first attenpt
that nine chief executives of other
States wrote Governor Morgan that
they issued proclamations requesting
tl-eir people to observe the day in
1922 From newspaper clippings,
letters and reports from every section
of the state, we estimate that more
than three thousand patriotic meeting
were held in West Virginia the Sum-
day prior to July Fourth in churches,
Sunday Schools and by special ar
rangements.
The report enumerates other act
ivities such as publishing the Ameri-
can Citizen, and distribution of thous-
ands of copies Of bulletins on patrio-
tic subjects. In fact, according to
the report an average Of 534 pieces
Of mail were sent out Of the Office
daily during the past year. In add
ition many patriotic addresses were
made before civic bodies, school tea
cheers and other organizations. Essay
writing contests were held in the
high schools Of the State and money
prizes given 70 rthe best papers on
some patriotic subject.
(, "The Association has taken the
lead in the campaign to place West
Virginia in the right light before her
own citizens rs well As the citizens Of
other states. Several circulars, in
