S. are going to receive a report of their work for the half-term. The average monthly grade counts two thirds and the examination counts one-third." The monthly grades for four months are added and the sum is divided by four to get the monthly average. This report represents one half year's work and we hope that parents will give it more thjin passing attention. ? W. o Mr. George Brady, former student of T. G. S., honored the eighth grade recently with i\ short talk about the work of the Jackson Training School which he has been attending. Mr. Brady said that there were 96 stu dents at the school, their ages being from eight to twenty-six years. One half of the pupils work from 9 o'clock till 11, the other half from 1 till 3. Only practical studies are used. Im mediately after school is out, they go to the ball ground where they remain in winter until 5 o'clock and until 7 o'clock in summer. The boys sew, wash and cook as well as farm and do numerous other work. They are also taking the same drills as those who are being trained in the army. We <*?i joyed Mr. Brady's talk very much. He is now in Smithfield working in The Herald Office. ? M. G. C.

Friday after noon, the membetrs of the RoLlins literary society rendered an interest ing program. The subject for de bate w.-.s particularly timely: "Re solved, That the Senators of the Unit ed States should be elected by direct v<)t{; of the people." Governor Bick ett's strong criticism of the Senate was mentioned in connection with the debr.te. The members of the Thalian society devoted their meeting hour to a con sideration of the public debate to be given ai. night on February 23.

It is being runWed that the Rollins boys are planning to give a reception to the faculty and the members of the Thalian society immediately after the debate. Next week will be observed by the program makers for the chapel exer cises as "Lincoln Week." LITTLE ESSAYS By Professor M. B. Andrews The Cost of Rearing a Child. How much money should a man spend in reaving a child, from the cradle to manhood or womanhood? This question was raised last sum mer by a contributor to the "Ameri can" magazine. The author did not undertake to give a Universal answer to the question. He simply told the story cf his own experience. The writer of the article manifest ed a beautiful spirit of kindness to childhood. He showed that he was a gentleman to the core. In his opinion, no possible sacrifice is too great to make in contributing to the real v/el fare of a man's children. But in my opinion, though his heart is right, the author has entirely misl ed the point. It seems to me thu$ he understands neither the psychology of childhood nor of man-life. As I understand the writer, it is his opinion that living conditions be made r.s easy and effortless as pos sible. Right there is where his mis take lies. Life to the real man is hard, and it ought to be hard. I do not mean that children should be treated unkindly or that they should be forced to eat unwhole some food or that they should be clothed in rags. It is only by exercise that the mus cles of the body become hard and stronjr. It is only by grisping the real facts of life by experience that moral backbone is produced. Entirely too much effort is being put forth by teachers and' parents to make life soft, easy, and interesting to children. That only is interesting into which a person has breathed his own soul, all else is chaff. At very early age in life, each child should be forced to learn that no blessing can be received and enjoyed by the individual who desires to re ceive and enjoy it unless he himself actually earns that blessing. Strength of muscle cannot be given to a child. Strength of will cannot be given to him. An education can not be given to him. It is impossible for a person to possess anything that he has not completely earned. Life is hard, and it ought to be hard. No one could possibly admire an oak tree made of jelly. The sponge is a rponge, and it can never become a rock. Only the rocks of life endure. How much should a man spend in rearing a child ? Each child should earn the total of his expenses. It is only by living that life is pro duced; great would be the boon of a feneration of men and womeif really alive! WHO IS GARFIELD? Borrowing phraseology from a well known writer , we ask: Who is Garfield ? what is he ? that all " ;r (journalistic) swains denounce him ? You have heard or read questions supposed to carry with them their own convincing, crushing answers. Who IS Dr. Garfield? Why DID Woodrow Wilson selcct a college president to handle Jie coal problem ? What can a college president POS SIBLY kn^w about coal or transpor tation cr railroads? Hew CAN we win this war, if we take HIGHBROWS to do the work thi-t ought to be done by a practical coal man? Perhaps you have asked Questions like this yourself, trying to burn the fishe? over again in your cellar, or, like the philosopher among the ruins of empires, meditating on Monday in your silent factory. Dr. Garfield is also business-man Garfield and COAL-MAN- Garfield. He wr s not always a college presi dent. lie and his brother Jim were lawyers together, and good Iav> ers, and even good corporation lawyers. These brothers, knowing they must have prosperous clients, actually cre; ated the clients. They created a great trust company ? then worked for it. They?created a great coal mining company, and worked for that. They built a railroad, and worked for that ? as lawyers. When Dr. Garfield came to Wash ington to take his present job, he re signed as director of the Jefferson Coal Company, of Ohio. He developed that company, built thirty mile3 of railroad to reach it. [ He ught to keow, and he docs know, something about coal mining an I co il transportation. If you want to judge Dr. Garfield as a business man, you that think his brow is too high, look up the Cleve la>, 1 Trust Company. Dr. Gar"*';eld 'Started that company in a little office about the size of a pantry. It hps now fifteen branch'-s 'and more than fifty 'millions of deposits and holds in trust one hundred rnd twenty millions ? not exactly a small enterprise or one indicating lack of business ability. When I)r. Garfield ordered build ings closed one day in the week and factories closed, he closed buildings that he built and factories he built. When Dr. Garfield talks to a group of Amei'ican business men, as he does every day, th<_y go away realizing that a first-class business mm has been talking to them. He is very quiet, patient, asks for criticism, in sists that it shall be CONSTRUC TIVE and furnish some details and suggestions for improvement. The doctor, it is true, has a rather high brow. But the works back of it have developed coal mines, built roads, factories, office buildings, ope rated and made successful a big waterworks enterprise, and construct ed on a solid foundation one of the country's successful trust companies. It is just as well to know these facts before you criticise Woodrow Wilson for putting the coal problem "in the hands of a theorist who knows nothing about coal or business prob lems." ? Washington Times. Too Few Producers. In plain English, too few of our 100,000,000 people are working at pro duction. An inordinate proportion finds it more profitable and, withal, cleaner for the hands and the clothes to trafic in what others have produced than to pull off the coat and add to the world's stock of provisions or other material wealth. That plain fact isjit the bottom of the food shortage now, and it is the root of national discontent all over the world. God said: "In the sweat of thy fhee shalt thou eat bread." Man says: "By the sweat of another's face will I manage to eat and prosper." The two aro incompatible, and, reduced to the lowest terms, that issue is what this war is about. The farmer is in the condition of Adam and must remain so. Rome paid dearly when everybody left the land; so shall we. It was bad enough before the war; it is infinitely worse now, and we must not go headlong into national and racial bankruptcy, even if we resort to government sub sidy of food production. We are very much nearer one way or the other thim most men imagine. ? Country Gentleman. Education and Character. Education that does not help to form character misses its chief object for citizenship, and I have a theory that you need a broad foundation of thorough primary education for every one, whether he is going to be a far mer, lawyer, a mechanic, or a minis ter. ? William Howard Taft. Roofing and Wire Fencing We have received a car load of American Wire Fenc ing, and now fill your wants. Also a large lot of Poultry netting fence 2 to 5 feet.

C. Every Part of Body Helped By Tanlac Hundreds of Thousands Benefited By Its Remarkable Powers. Tanlae, the powerful reconstructive tonic, is recommended for and has proved effectual in hundreds of thous ands of cases of stomach disorders, indigestion, cat^rrah of the head and stomach, liver and bowel derange ments, dyspepsia, nervousness and sleeplessness, constipation and gen eral run-down condition, a dull, drag ging feeling of the body, palpitation and smothering of the heart, and coughs and colds; upd while Tanlac is intended primarily for the regulation of the stomach and the correction of catarrahl .inflammation, it is no un common thing for persons who have taken it to find that is has relieved them, not only of indigestion, but also of rheumatism, kidney compkints and many other ailments not general ly recognized as having their origin in the stomach. In fact, there is not a single portion of the body that is not benefited by the helpful action of Tanlac, whicn begins its work by stimulating the digestive and assimilative organs, thereby enriching the blood and in vigorating the whole body. In other words, it relieves constitutional troubles by removing the cause. It* overcomes, it is said, tho great cause of disease, weakness. It ren ders the body vigorous and elastic. It keeps the mind clear and energetic, and throws off the symptoms of nervousness and indigestion. It builds up the constitution weakened by disease and mental and physical overwork, quickens convalescence, and is an unfailing source of comfort to all suffering from such troubles. By increasing the powers of en durance, it enables those who use Tanlac to better encounter fatigue, exposure and overwork. Tanlac is sold by one regularly established druggist in each town, and can be purchased from Hood Bros., Smithfield, and I'eacock Drug i Company, Benson, N. C.? Adv. I
