LITERARY SOCIETY REPORTERS--Mary Sumner, Bessie Cowan FACULTY SUPERVISOR ? Miss Emily Gayle v 'J SCHOOL NOTES The entire school must acknowledge that when it comes to giving chapel programs the first grade can beat us all. For the program which they gave last Friday morning was a credit to the school. There were several songs by the class and also a short prayer, besides two recitations, given by little Misses Frances Boyette and Maude Powell Eley. we especially wish to compliment these two little ladies. All school children like Fairs. We like them partly for the sights which we may see but mostly because we get a holiday. Thus because of the past county fair we received a holi day, which was fully appreciated by all. We are glad to announce that Mrs. Bickett, one of the most distinguished women of our state, visited our town and spoke to the women Tuesday evening in the School Auditorium. Mrs. D. P. Baker is supplying the first of this week, for Miss Bailey, who spent the week-end at her home in Wakefield, Va. ??? ( Much interest is being shown in our Literary societies, and splendid programs are put on both in the Co lumbian and Hesperian. We surely have the material for some great de baters, and hope by the end of this session to put on some interesting de bates. Misses Bessie Gaddy and Mary Catling and Mr. K. T. Raynor were visitors in Aulander Sunday. ? (Editor's Npte?The two essays to be published this week are among the winners in the regular monthly Eng? lish essay contests. The other win-, ning essays will be published in a later edition of "The Warwhoop." / Mar* Hill Defeat* Aho*kie 16-14 ? t The Ahoskie Girl's Basket Ball i team played a very exciting game with Mars Hill team on the court of the latter last Tuesday afternoon, November 14. The game war the first played by the Ahoskie team, and the girls showed up splendid, reflecting much credit on their very efficient coach, Miss Bailey. From the very beginning the game was spirited, and the result was always in doubt. 7First Mars Hill was ahead and then in the second half Ahoskie made a brilliant rally, passing easily ahead in score, only to be passed again by Mars Hill, feo that when the final whistle sounded the score stood 16 to 14 in favor of Mars Hill. The game was a success in every way, the best of*feeling be ing evident on the part of both teams and also on the part of the hearty rooters on the side lines.

Corpulent lady?I don't know, or I would take some myself. School Examiner?What is \ the [meaning of false doctrine? School Boy?Please, sir, it's when the doctor gives .the wrong stuff to the people who are sick. Billy was in tears when he came home from school. "Teacher whip ped me because I-was the only one who could answer a question she ask ed the class," he sobbed. His mother was indignant. "Why, I'll see her about that What was the question, Billy?" His eyes lighted reminis cently. "She wanted to krfow who put the glue in her ink bottle." Mother was teaching five-year-old Bobby geography. She had come to the Sahara Desert. "Now, say it? Sahara," she prompted him. "Hara," replied Bobby. "No, not Hat-a?SaHtwa, don't you see?" said mother patiently. "Now, say it." Again Bobby replied, "Hara." That kept up for some time, until finally Bobby, worn out, exclaimed, indignantly, "Well, mother, didn't I say?Hara?" Sometimes, says the Boston Herald, children evince a disconcerting ability to close a conversation and to avert rebuke or chastizement. In a school situated in one of the suburbs there was a disturbances one day among the smaller pupils. A small boy had slapped a little gorl. The teacher was very quick to rebuke the youngster. ' "Jackson," she said, "No gentleman would strike a lady." The boy was all ready with his reply. It was: "No lady would tickle a gentleman. w X and Hare Worship Webster says, "A hero is a man of great ^ valor, intrepidity and enter pns^. ' Emerson says, "Heroism is an obedience to a jecret impulse of an individuals character." It is bur pur pose to consider a few heroes who lived during and after the Civil War. In considering these heroes we Will take two great military men, two statesmen, one doctor, and one scien tist. One, especially an educated person, should not be prejudiced but broad minded. Therefore we are taking men of the North, as well as of the South, men of the Republican party, as well as men of the Democratic party. It is our aim to show how and why men are heroes. < Heroes have meant a great deal to civilization. Heroes from military standpoint have meant the territorial standing of a country or nation. They have gained, or helped to gain for their nation freedom, justice and progress. Statesmen have gained the nations, heroes have made the nation. Scientists have made various discov eries for the benefit of the world. They have undergone many hardships to make their enterprises successful. Many doctors have sacrificed their lives and bodies to the cause of hu manity and to the progress of science. These men have helped us to form our ideals of American manhood. Carl Schurz says, "Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touch ing them with your hands; but, like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you may choose them as your guides, and following them you reach your destiny." On the military side we shall dis cuss Lee and Pershing. First we shall see why and how Lee was a hero. That Lee .was a hero is shown when the Federal Government offered him the leadership of their army, he re fused, saying, "I cannot unsheathe my sword against Virginia." Although the North had more men, more money, and more supplies, he did not go against his mother state. Lee, as commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, refused to have any more com forts than the ordinary soldiert When he suffered defeat he did not put the blame on his officers, even when they were in fault, but assumed it himself. In this and other ways he won the love and admiration of his soldiers, thus obtaining their utmost coopera tion. His great military genius is shown when he took a people, gener ally untrained to war, inferior in numbers and resources, who had ftew ways to secure supplies, but were strong and sturdy men, and develop ed them into an army of as good fighters as the world Tas ever known, and not only defended their cause, and made a magnificent showing against the overwhelming odds, but made for themselves a secure place ! in history. ; H* wa* not only a great leader of - I men bat ? man of irreproachable character. After the war when Lee was poor, a lottery in Louisiana offer ed him a large sum of money to let them use his name as president of the concern; he did not wait to write them the answer, but telegraphed them?| "Sirs, my good name is all tliat I have left, it is not for sale." No one class > contains Lee. He is with the great captains, with the "good, pure chiva- { lrous men?the knight sans peur et| sans reproach. Victory did not mako' too confident, defeat did not make him feel discontented nor in despair. The Southern youth admire Lee more than any character of the Civil War. The second on the military side we. have the leader of the American j Forces in the World War, General; John J. Pershing. When President, Wilson was looking for a capable man to lead the American Army, his at-l tention was called to Pershing. He; had been a successful fighter against the Indians and Mexicans. Another reason why Wilson selected him was because of his reputation for accom plishing things. So. much was this true that he was called "Go-get-her Pershing." , He had married the daughter of Senator Warren. A few years prior to the World War, she and three of her four children were overcome with smoke. But laying aside private grief, he answered the call of his country and of President Wilaon, to become the commander-in-chief of the American Army. Although he was not loved as much by hie soldiers as Lee was, probably because they saw so little of them, he was efficient. General t Foch wanted' ^ use the American troops as ^placement troops, thus taking away from the Americans all glory and praise. But Pershing was unalterably opposed to it. He said that they had come over as an army to fight their own battles. Pershing had the ability, courage, and determination to put his entire ^ soul and life into a difficult task and = accomplished it So well did he do this that he not only won praihe and honor for himself during the War, not only won laurels for the American Army, not only warded off defeat and turned the tide of war toward vic tory, but won for himself a place among the immortals. At the State Fair, Raleigh, recent ly. he was asked if he really said upon landing on French soil, "Lafayette, we are here." He answered them saying, "They sBid I said it." He I not like some other men anxious for undeserved praise, mildly told them that he did not say it. After the war the Republican party tried to run him for president, as he was the utmost hero of America's general. He believed that it would bt spoiling p. good soldier, and making a poor president. Therefore he refus- ~ ed to run. ||j Next we take up Lincoln. He was = a hero in that he was a poor, unedu- j = cated boy, of the common people, and 5 arose through his desire, will and de- 1 termination, to become the greatest; man of his day. When the slavery question was hotly debuted, he tried to quiet both sides. He was a friend to the South as well as to the North, althoug they did not realize it His two | great passions were the love Of hu manity and the love of the Union. 1 When the Southern states seceded he said that he would fight to bring them1 back into the Union; to save the 11 Union and not either to save or de stroy slavery. From a letter to a friend of- his the i following extract is taken, "I know! that there is a God and that He hate? injustice and slavery. I see the storm coming and I know that His hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me, and I think He has, I am ready. I am nothing, but truth is I everything. I know that I am right, | because I know that liberty is right, 7 for Christ teaches it and Christ is God." One of Lincoln's famous sayings was, "With malice toward none, with charity to all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in." Lincoln was not understood until years after the Civil War. At first the Southern people hated Lin coln, but after they began to think, realize, and understand, they classed him as the greatest president up to that time, after Washington. We next take our former president, Woodrow Wilson. The work of Wil son, like that of Lincoln, will be greater appreciated after his death. He will go down in history as a lover of all mankind, especially of small, down trodden nations. He is a man of the highest character, great in in tellect, and executive ability. His ability was shown not only in the successful conduct of the war, but after the war as well, when he wrote the League of Nations. Afneriea, as yet, has not joined them?due largely to the opposition and influence of a few Republican senators. He *ave1 his health, and nearly his life to the) cause. But the time will come when Wilson's wish will be granted. That he was a hero is shown in that he gave (Continued on page 2) j s================r?
