England suffered her worst raid from German airmen yesterday so far; more tluiu a hundred killed and several hundred injured. The war registration, according to latest reports, is more than nine millions, and us reports come in the number grows greater. Today's papers announce that the Liberty Loan will be a suc cess. It should be, and if every one had done bis patriotic duty, it would have been several times over subscribed. The reunion of the Confederate veterans in Washington last week was one of the most remarkable gatherings ever gathered to gether anywhere at any time. It was estimated there would be some six or eight thousand, but instead there were between seven teen and eighteen thousand—vet- oralis of a war that closed 52 years ago. They are now all old men — not one, perhaps, iu a hundred under 70 years of age. Never, perhaps, will so many old men gel together a aiu at the same time and iu the rjatne pi ice. THREE RKASONS FOR SUPPORT IN(J RED CROSS. Given by Secretary Baker on Recent Visit to North Carotiiui. "There are throe reasons why the people who stay at home should actively support the work of the Ked Cross," said Hon. New ton I), linker, Secretary of War, on his recent visit to North Caro lina. The first of these reasons, as explained by .Mr. Maker, was that ts hundreds of thousands of the young men of the country will aoon leave their homes to hike up thoir abode iu the "White Canvas Cities" that they will need all the aid, the comfort and kindly inter est that the folks back home can give thom in the period of train ing for the men that their country expects of them. And there will bo the sick and wounded to min ister to with sympathy and conse crated service. Ilospitals will need medical supplies, and even the services of trained individuals will bo culled for. The second reason given by Mr. Haker for supporting the work of tlio Hod Cross wax that other coun tries hnve taught tin the necessity of caring adequately and syste luaticAlly for the dependent sol diers and families of soldiers, which problem ha* been found most easily and efilciently handled through the lied Cross. The third reason aligned by thespeaker was that the Red Cross an an agency of relief and philan thopic servico has international recognition, has the President of the United State* as its president, ia chartered by Congress and has ita accounta audited by the I'nited States Treasury Department. Il ia the only guaranteed source of rendering aid in time of war or disaster that is recognized by the Government. Whatever is done or given through the Red Cross is ■ure of serving the needy in the most efficient way. "While cities and larger towns have become actively interested in the work of the lted Cross," said Mr. llaker, "people of the country and small towns have not yet realized the importance of this aervice." That every town and organized community should form » lted Cross Auxiliary, organize classes in First Aid and meet and make bandages, comfort bags and other hospital supplies, always by the directions given, is, in the opinion of the Secretary, the best expression of the town's or com munity's appreciation for the boys fighting for liberty at the front. A loan of $3,000,000 to Sorbin and an additional loan of $75,000,- 000 bring the total of loans to allies up to $923,000,000. The Serbian loan, the first made to that gov ernment, is payable in three equal monthly installment*. It will be Utilized iu improving rail way lines constituting military communications of tho Serbian army. Some of it may go for re lief of the distressed population of Serbia. i r One-Han Dozen Years of Progress • In The Public Schools of v * , ' . • Alamance County. That the progress made in the last lihlf dozen years in the Pub lic Schools of Alamance comity,, may appear to all interested, these items given in this paper are now presented. MATERIAL IMPROVEMENT. There are in the county 51 rural whitfe schools and 28 rural colored schools. Of these numbers one fourth the school houses have been rebuilt —I.'! white and 7 col ored. In addition to these new houses 12 new rooms have been built to old houses and 3 new rooms have been built to old houses for the colored. There have been built for white schools 44 new school rooms and 14 new rooms for the colored. Thirty-four of the white school houses have been painted and P> of the colored. A campaign has been conducted in the county for sanitary closets, and while there wore few closets in the county six years a.'o, today there are a great many. Nearly every school plant in the county has been improved. In some cases the house lias received a new roof. In other cases the grounds have been enlarged and in another a new well has been dug and in some other eases several of these improvements have been made to gether with several others until today the school property is nearly double in value what it was six years ago. Six years ago the white school property was valued at $37,425, today it is valued at sll7, 200; then the colored property was-valued at $5,525, today it is worth SH,'J2S. INCHKA.SE IN I.ENUTH >K TERM. Notwithstanding the great growth iu material improvement, the increase in length of term has been in keeping with it Six years ago the average length of term for white schools was 80 days, this year the average length of term for the white school is 122 days; the colored got HQ days, this year ilid colored received an average of 1)7 djiys —an increase of 41 per cent, for the white schools and more than 21 per cent, for the colored. The increase in the same time for the city schools was from $7,- ll7 t( $10,224, a-n increase of 45 per cent. ENROLLMENT. One of the lirst, important steps in educating a people is getting them iu school. The teachers iu Alamance have been required to rend r an account of every stu dent in his district. If the student comes to school all well and good! but if he does not the teacher is required to know his whereabouts and |o seek his attendance. A complete canvass must be made the lirst two weeks of school and a record made and sent to the Su perintendent of all absent'ones as to who, where and why absent. All who are out of school without a reason is sought for enrollment by the teacher. Six )ears ago the rural white census was 4,6(53, en rollment :i,ir>.'l. Tier records show the census today to bo 4,4!)2, en rollment 3, 55 1. Six years ago the colored census was 2,208, the en rol linen t 1,348. This year the rural colored census is 1,725, the enrollment 1,30!'. With both r ices there is an ino cased enrollment «u a smaller census. TEACHERS AND TKACIIEH TRAINING The number of teachers Ims been increased from Ht) white to It XT), and from 27 colored to 35. Realizing the important factor that the teacher is in every school, the administration fertile past six years has not been unmindful of the teacher training. "As the teacher is so is the school," is largely t rue and hence there has been different means used to de velop the teacher and to inereifhe her efticiency. The Heading Course outlined by the State Department IIHS been annually stressed. A large per cent, of the teachers have kept it up annually and passed a test for the yearly certificates. Institutes for teachers have been regularly conducted and in those the Superintendent and Super visors have been taking leading parts in bringing directly to the teachers those things they most need and in such a way as to meet, the demands that are just Ix-foce theui. Our institutes have been of a high order and have always received attendance front teachers of surrounding counties who were strong in their praise of the work done. Several special conferences have IM-CII milled for special training of teachers. Notable among these was a three days' conference near ly two years ago lor all the Pri mary teachers of the county. A regular and systematic sys tem of teachers' meetings have been conducted every year during the six. The tcachem at these meetings were generally divided into two department*—according to the departments in which they work—and thus by this tueaus were given the specific iustri.c ion which they so vitally needed. Teachers who have come to us from other counties and other States and thus have had oppor tunities to make comparison have pronounced our meetings among the most practical and most profitable. Along with other things for the instruction of Alamance's teach ers goes annually into the hands of each and every teacher a Teach ers' Hand Hook. This is a small but complole conpendium of in dispensable information to the teacher. It gives to them a gen eral plan of procedure and tells -them the' things needed in their work and states such rules and regulations as are most vital to the work, all of which tend to minimize the teachers' hindrances and multiply the. teachers' effi ciency. For the information and the in spiration of patrons, pupils and teachers an Educational Column has been conducted weekly in the county papers. Many of the weeks' column carried timely in struction for the teacher. Some times technical instruction and other times funeral but funda mental information for the teacher and her work. These articles of instruction have met not only with popular praise but have been quoted by those in professional position. Other Superintendents have used the instruction in our column and the State Journal of Education and the Educational Foundation, published in New Filmland, have published what was written for the teachers of Ala mance. NOISIAHHdfIS When the cotton mill will succeed without a superintendent and a system of bossed, when the great business institution of any type succeeds without a head to direct it, then we to develop a great sy stem of efficient public schools without adequate super vision. Six years ago th? county elected a Superintendent ft>r all his time instead of one for part of his time. Four years ago, two Super visors—a white one and a colored one—were employed, the weight of whose influence has been felt foi in every department oft he work. The Superintendent has se cured in gifts to the county from outside the county during the four years for Supervisors' salaries the sum of $1265.00. GRADATION AND GRADUA TION. Fundamentally speaking, gradua tion in school iH adapting the mate rial to the mind. The physical growth of the human bejng can never be bo what it might be anu should be, unless its food is suit'U to Its age. In infancy the child needs milk; in advanced age it needs meats. So-it is in the schoo. and even more so, if growth is t. be what it should be that adoption of matter to mind must be meted out according to age. This we havi tried to do in Alamance during th past six years and have met with some success. A system of grada tlon has been put in to keep th( student rgularly rounded up in hit work to the end. At tht end we have put in alsi. a regular system of graduation This graduation. marks the com pletion of the public school course The certificate awarded sets a seal upon the work already done and gives the student a passport I nit the High schooh Ry this system valuable time is not wasted noi flaws allowed to creep into the structure which should by all melius be solid. . All this could not be jnoßt suc cessfully done without the co-oper ation of the parent. IL-nee report cards have been given to each anu every pupil to curry home inonthlj to parents to show his attendant and record of work done. These cards, 5,000 and more annually, have rendered this valuable service with out a cent of cost as they carried advertisements enough to bear their own expenses. LIBRARIES AND PUPILS' READ ING COURSE. There lias been secured for tlie schools of the county during thf past *i* .years 21 original libraries und supplements—3 second orig nals and 10 supplemental# ha v. been added this .year. The original' cost #3O each and the supplemental!. fls. The cost of both the orlgi inals and the sppplementals is met by the community, county and State, each paying one-third. Kv ejry white school in the county ex cept two haii a library of well se lected books. Our libraries are our treasure houses of knowledge. In them art stored the History, Literature and Science of the past. Hence one o. the best things th? school can do for the pupil is to Increase his reading and give him a love for reading and literature. In order to do this there has been established In the county a Pupils' Reading Course. The Pupils' Reading Course ia baaed on the books in the rural librariea and made into five out lines or .years reading. The com pletion of one yeßr ia rewarded by a certificate. The completion of any four yeara merits the Pupils Reading Courae Diploma. This most important a.vstcm in this ri?h field of our work has been established within the last year of the six yeara of our present administration Some have received already the Reading Courae Diploma anil many more have received certificate*. INDUSTRIAL WORK.' We believe that education is the best education that both prepares the student for making a living and for living a life. We believe the student at least ahould stud.v some of the things today fbat h is going to do tomorrow. Certainly he ahould leam something about those things he ia going to need both to-day and tomorrow. For these good reasons as well as oth ers, we have made a beginning in Industrial Work in the schools ol Alamance. The degree of success attained in this new fl -Id was mani feat to those who visited the exhi bition of school products at county [Commencement last year and thi* year. This kind of work has met with sufficient favor tobe made a part of the regular courae of study by the laat Legislature.

In order to graduate students from the public schools, to make an exhibition of school products, and thus teach by products as well precepts to contest with each other and thus develop by friendly rivalry, to gather information ana inspiration the County Commence ment has its existence. During the past six years Alamance county has had six commencements—being among the first counties to orgarf ize this valuable educational insti tution. Our county commencements have been recognized as being the most completely organized and most effectively carried out. Many other counties have received litera ture from us on the subject; and our people have observed the impe tus given to every phase' of the educational work in this county oy ttie comrieucement. There have been offered at tha beginning of the year and awarded at the County Commencement, to stimulate progress in the various departments of school activities, the following certificates and prizes: Certificates for Attendance, Read ing and Graduation ; Prizes for Ma terial improvement, Attendance, Community Meetings, Spelling, English Grammar, Composition, Re production of Stories, Public Speak ing, Chorus Work, Industrial Work and General Exhibition ol School Products. COMMUNITY SERVICE. We believe the school should ben efit tut* community directly by fur nishing to the Oijur people infor mation, entertainment, and by ios tering and feeding every . business in the community as well as bene fiting the community indirectly to educating the young for the future. Country Life Clubs have been or ganized in many of oyr schools to render this community service, fhey are due to furnish communi ty entertainment of all kinds that are wholesome, social, musical and literary. Also they are to give thru lectures and otherwise instruction on the various phases of country life and country progress. Lectures nave been delivered before these clubs on Sanitation, Agriculture, Uood Roads, Water Works, La tor Having Devices, etc. Several Community Fairs have been held with some of the schools of Alamance under the direction 01 the Country Life Clubs. These fairs nave reached such standards of ex cellency as to call forth tha en dorsement and aid of the State Department of Agriculture. It was the success of the Community Fair in Alamance that caused our State to offer aid to the Community Fair in a similar way thkt it helps tne County Fair. According to Dr. F. P. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner of Education, Alamance county was the second in the South to hold a completely organized Community Fair. , SELF HELP He is best helped who helps him self. He that gets things for him self is helped both by what he gets and alßo by getting; People take most interest in those things into which they put most. The schools of the county and their benefits for the past six years have been kept before the people and they have responded to the cause as never be fore. During this time six local tax districts have been voted. But what is more than that a system of Donated Improvements has been instituted and kept in regular op eration each year, and has amount ed to nearly $4,000 annually. This year the donated improvements of various kinds according to accurate book keeping, amounts to $3,987.50, which is a little more than 12.5 percent of the entire amount of money raised in the county for the schools by regular taxation. The past six years of history of our public schools in Alamance county have been six years of real genuine progress. J. B.

MAY SCHODL Lesson Xll.—Second Quarter, For •June 17, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Taxt of tha Lesson, John xx, 1-18. Memory V«n««, 15, 18—Golden Tsxt, I Cor. xv, 20—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. As the next lesson will be the quar terly review, we must endeavor to sum marize the last two chapters In this lesson. It may be a little difficult to arrange all the events of the resurrec tion day and of the forty days before His ascension in their correct order, but that is a grand and comprehensive saying in Acts i, 3, "He shewed Him self alive by many Infallible proofs." Then in John xx, 31, the reason of John's gospel, "These are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Hon of God, and that believ ing ye might have life through His name." In His great prayer He said to His Father, "This is Life Eternal that they might know thee, the only True God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent" (John xvil, 8). He is alive forevermore, has the keys of hades and of death and has all power iu heaven and on earth (Itev. 1, 18; Matt, xxviii, 18), and it is for us to show these facts in our lives that oth ers may know Him too. It does seem an amazing thing that even Peter and John had.not received any. of His say ings that He would rise from the dead on the third day (verse 9), though he had again and again so plainly said so (Matt, xvl, 21; xvii, 23; xx, 18, Nolther had Jlary Magdalene nor-the other women received these truths, with the one exception of Mary of Bethany. How wonderful that He should ap- pear first to Mary Magdalene and call her by name! (Mark xvl, 0; John xx, 10.) Ills reason for not allowing her to touch Hlra Is so clearly and simply stated In xx, 17, that we cannot but wonder that It does not satisfy every one. The other women met Him a lit tle later and held Him hy the feet and worshiped Him (Matt, ixvlll, 0, 10), so that between these two appearings He must have been to His Father and returned. Between His death and res urrection He was surely with the Fa ther, according to Luke xxlll, 43, 40, but He was on His way to His Father In His resurrection body when He ap peared to Mary and called her by name. Some time that day He had a special Interview with Peter, then the walk to Emmaus with the two, and in the evening He appeared In the midst of those who were gathered in the up per room, with the doors shut for fear of the Jews. He showed them His hands and Ills side and twice said, "Peace be unto you" (xx, 19-23). He also commissioned them to go In His name and proclaim the forgiveness of sins. See also Acts xiii, 38, S9. It was on that evening that He said, "A Spirit hath not flesh nnd bones, as ye see Me have; handle Me and see that it is 1 Myself," and lie nte a piece of broiled fish atid honeycomb before them (Luke xxlv, 38-43). Thomas missed a whole week of peace because he was not with the others that evening. But a week later Jesus came again and with the same "Peace be unto you" and asked Thom as to do Just what lie had said to the others he would need to do before be could believe that Jesus was risen from the dead. He saw and believed and •exclaimed, "My Lord and my God." Jegtis said, "Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed" (xx., 21-20). We shoul(J walk by faith, not by sight, for It Is as we believe that wo sec (Jchnixl, 40; II Cor. v, 7). In chapter xxl m> have the record of the seven who went fishing, led Into It by Simon Peter, perhaps because they were hungry, had no money and, it may he, had not seen the Lord for some time. Well, their toll was fruit less, for they caught nothing. So It Is always without IHm—nothing. In the morning some one called from the shore, "Have ye any meat?'* and they had to answer, "No." At his bidding they cast the net on the right side of the ship and caught 153 great fishes without breaking the net. Then John recognized the Lord. When they came ashore, before thej brought the fish that they had caught they found that their need had been anticipated, and they saw a fire of coals with flsh laid thereon and bread And Jesus said, "Come and break youi fast." Greater faith in Him might have saved them the night of fruitless toll, for the blessing of the Ixird mak eth rich, aud toll addeth nothing there to (Prov. x, 22, Hi V.). It was at that time Jesus three times asked Simon Peter, "Lovest Ihou Me?" |>crhaps be cause of bis threefold denial, and gave tilm the thrive repeated command. "Feed My sheep and My lambs." He also told Peter by what manner of death he should glorify God, remind lug us of Paul's determination that Christ should lie magnified in his bodt either by life or death (xxl, 18, 10; Phil I, 20). As Peter Inquired what IIU plan for Joliu was, Jesus replied: "II I will that he tarry till I come, what It that to thee? follow thou Me" (xxl 21, 221. The following verse makes It plain that Jesus never meant (leatb when He spoke of lllx coming. Many art too uiucb concerned about others In stead of following Jesus fully them selves. .N'ote that whether It wa> weeping Mary, or the fearful disciples, or doubting Thomas, or the disappoint ed fishermen, (he cure for all was tlu revelation of Jesus Himself.

Secretary Navy Daniels Presents Di plomas to 161 Graduates, 65 of Whom in Military Training- Summer School Will Reg ister 200 to 500 More Than Last Year. Cor. of The Gleaner. Chapel Ilill, N. C., June 6. The Commencement exercises of the University of North Carolina ended in a great patriotic demon stration today when Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, delivered the annual address, and Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Daniels, presented diplomas to 161 gradu ates. The realization that sixty live members of the graduating class were in military service at Fort Oglethorpe, and that one tenth of the entire Oglethorpe contingent had been furnished by the University coloiea the com mencement exerc'ses with a pa triotic strain. Secretary Baker's speech smack ed of the war. And knowing the country's need for men better per haps than any other, he thrilled the audience with a powerful plea that the educational institutions of the country be kept going at full force. "Whatever the exer tions," he said, "don't let this Lamp of Learning go out." An cient traditions are going to be dissolved. We must re-adjust ourselves to the new conditions which will confront us, and train ed men will be needed to solve our problems. America's great pro blem is after the war. And the country's call for men to help in the work of rehabilitation will be as great and as urgent as now. Preparations for the opening of the Summer School on June 12th have been completed. Present in dications are that last summer's registration of 1,050 will be in creased to 1,250 or 1,500. Courses in Ked Cross Work, and First Aid to the Injured, will be added to the curriculum, while the courses in Domestic Science, concerning conservation of food, canning, etc., will receive increased atten tion as a part of the great national movement for elimination of waste. President Graham leaves in a few days for Washington, where he wilt confer with commissions from England and Canada regard ing the relation of the educational institutions to the war.
