THE SCHOOL GROUNDS. *. .Every picture has its baek - ground; every story has its set - ting; and every school must have f its campus or grounds. The school a site should be selected not only i near it he center of population, and - to take advantage ol the conven venience of roads, but it should be selected so as to have high, dry grounds that are reasonably level, - and large enough for ewery need. , The works of art can do much to overcome what is wanting in a | school site if a mistake is made in I the selection, but let not such a t large and lasting mistake be made , in the beginning when nature has * been so fruitful in plenishing the the earth with beautiful sites. Since t he site has not been selected for us and can"t be at this time, it is not within the provfnee ? of the writer to locate and con , struct the different grounds and , buildings. But we hope to set up such guide posts as will warrant ■ the right start and give such in i structions as will answer general . questions. After the proper site has been selected, and selected large enough, every ground needed on the school campus, every appurtenance be longing to the scnool—the school ■ house site, the well the wood , house, the out houses, the ball , ground, the tennis court, the walks the drives, the grass plots, the flower beds—should all be seen i clearly and located in the mind of . some one before the work is begun. Otherwise the whole may be mar red in the very beginning by locat ' ing and placing one in tbe wrong place. A story is told of two boys who went early to bed. Jim called to the mother *to make Tom "lay over" and give him half the • bea. Jim called Ms-mother-agm'tt fort he same purpose. Tom repeat , ed that he aid not have but half of the bed. Jim said "yes, but you have your half right in the middle so I can't get my half." If the I school house was located right in the middle of the site, where it should not have been, it doubtless would remain a mistake regard less of ma pa and all the neighbors. Therfore, select the place for everything and all things before anything is placed or built. The school house should be lo cated so as to take care of its own interests and leave room for other things. Unless the grounds arc large It doea not leave room for other things to place the house in the center of the grounds. If the grounds are large the center might be the proper place. The house should not be too far away from nor too close to the road or street. If It is too close, the work of the school will be disturbed by the travel and traffic. If It is too far away from the highway, It makes the school difficult of access and it fall* to have the prominence as ,a silent teacher that its importance deserves. All ideal of form and all demand for symmetry and beauty ask that the house be set square with the world or straight with the road or street. The latter demand, to act with the highway, ia the mora imperative because the high way is seen for the comparison of the eye and then it ia what marks the range and run of other things —the sidewalks, the fences, the filota, etc. To find a house set- Ing cornerwlse to all these things ia to produce an uncomfortable feeling in any one who haa in his .make-up the slightest demand for the aesthetic and beautiful.

And if I were going to build a, pig pen at achool or anywhere, I would want It built In line and harmony with the other things about It, Wo child or Ml of chil dren can afford to have their sense of order and beauty dulled and damaged by auch a constant scene disorder and incompatibility of ar rangement There are few thinga that ahould be as closely considered ana as carefully guarded against as the water we drink. If the wa ter we drink is impure It means that we are constantly taking Im purities in our system. A spring is a good source for pure water If It la properly protected. But thla "If ia a large one. The location of a aprlng subjects It to the filth and Impurltiea of the vicinity—lt betng In about the lowest place. Most springs have the circular ditch li^WWTER Prof. Frankland demon strates that COD LIVER OIL generates more body-heat than anything else. la BCOTTB EMULSION th* m oil is so umiri that tfca Meed p*«Cta fro** every drop, while It fortiflea throat and lup. around them for protection. And moat of these ditches are neglected. In many case* the footpath going _ to the spring treads down the ditcu and leads the overflow directly into the spring. The well should e be so arranged that the surface wa il ter runs away from the well in y irtead of running to the well. . In , addition to this the welf should have a cement top to keep out all " surface water. Por school pur e poses a pump is better than a yr bucket. When a bucket is uiied [ t the constant opening offers th« I, well as a receptacle for trash;and 0 then the children handle the bucket tt and rope or chain with dirty, con n taminated hands and send them a again down into the water. e Out-houfes have been much neg h lected In our rural schools. They e are not only a convenience but a necessity. The exposure of both „ sexes at all ages due to the want „ of them is a generator of immorirl i, ity. We often speak of the colored . race having a low standard of vir | tue. Any race that lives in a , crowded condition as the colored t race, where all sexes and all ages _ are housed together and exposed 1 to each other, will have a low standard of virtue and morality, no , matter what the color may be , —black, brown or white. Then the 1 out-houses are not only actual ne . cessities and conveniences, but I without them we deafeat in a very 1 serious way the purposes of the I school. , Another neglected necessity at ■ the school is the wood house. Most , of our schools are taught in the f winter season when the weather is cold. This means we must have 1 fuel of some kind. With the win . ter weather comes rain or snow— , sometimes for days and weeks 4 without ceasing. The wood, wllh | out the wood house, is wet and un , suited for the fire. Think how f much work and worry there may j be,_ai»l_ exposure to disease, rob . bing the school if half an hour is f taken each day on account of wet , wood, A wood house that will cost t a very little will save the trouble. r Alter the giounds have been , planned and plotted and buildings t all erected, the next thing to do is , to keep the grounds clean and in _ order. Did you ever realize when L traveling fhat you were ncaring a r school house because you fo ind t heaps of scrap paper in the fence Conner* for half a mile. And when . you reached the school you fo ina , the grounds littered with paper, r the wood pile and ash pile near ». front door, both in the edge of a P brush pile, and several shade tr?e* , hacked in an ugly fashion? If you , have seen this sight I hope von t may never see it again. It is just > the opposite of what should greet i you at the school house. The , grounds should be kept free from such litter and rubbish all the time. > And on approaching the school ■ grounds you and every child , should have that refined feeling j for better things that comes from , looking on clean yards, beautiful , trees, edged walks, and well-kept I grass plots and flowers. There is > nothing more demoralizing than i badly kept premises. Ther» is , nothing more inspiring and relinlng t than well-kept premise*. We are . a part of all tha'. we *ee. J. B.

SIMMONS* pRCO WO** j 1 ! HOW BATTLES ARE FOUGHT. ? 11 Tbe Kesl Thing Is Very Different From the Populsr Idea. From Leslie's Weekly. tl The popular idea of a battle line II is an array of men standing shoul '-jder to shoulder and many ranks a deep. Such, however, is not the d reality. The line- consists of gar e risong of varying sizes and separat " ed by intervals of a few hundred 't yards. Under such conditions as i- prevailed during tha first half ot n November, these garrisons "dug themselves into the earth," by ex - cavating trenches which they oov y ered with logs and earth to a a depth of five or six feet, thus se ll curing protection from shell and ri t fie fire. These trenches when cov ered are known as "bombproof*' a and the garrisons may range in size - from one to two companies to a a regiment or more, in important a positions. Military expert* estimate » that men massed on the first and second firing lines average about v two to the yard or about 3.500 to n the mile. The out posts are so ar e ranged that one Supports another e and the open spaces bstween are - covered by rifle fire. Back of the first line at varying distances, ia y the second or supporting line, B which is also sheltered by trench |es and bombproofs. From this line 11 re inforcements can be moved rap t idly to points where battle pressure 8 is strongest. In the rear of the * 1 second line, say a mile or less, 1 field artillery Is placed to hurl - shells and shrapnel over the heads - of the infantry into the positions * of the enemv, which are generally - invisible to the artillerymen. Th? - sMection of vantage points for the v artillery is of immense importance, t and as it i?-"> danger onlv from ar ■ tillerv fraa ,ne other stfie, every J effort is made to conceal it, advant- J age being taken of wooded spots ' and hillsides. The observers who '• give the range to the battery are 1 posted at some distance and com- H mnnimte with the gunners by the s field telephone*. i Reserve infantry is usually post -1 ed in the rear of the artillery, but J cannot be used effectively if it is 1 more than two or three miles from 9 the first line of fire, as it must be 1 hurried quickly to whatever point* i are yielding under pressure from "> the enemv. The operations of the r cavalry are largely restricted to :l scouting and screening the advance B of infantry and artillery. Under u conditions, such as the deadlock ' ptevailing for many weeks between ' the Alliei and the German army 1 the duties of the cavalry are min -9 imiied. l » j North Carolina to Have Part in Gov r ernment Health Exhibit at Pana ma-Pacific Exposition. s That North Carolina shall have a l part in the Government Health Ex-i a hibit at the Panama-Pacific Expo- C sition next year at San Francisco, » is the request from the Children s Bureau of the United State* De partment of Labor.
