I Setzer 'd> Russell % Hickory Graded School's Growth Students are Taught Cheaper Today Than at Start. ORGANIZATION OF THE SCHOOLS. The present system of city graded schools in Hickory began operation in 1903. Prior to that time the schools were operated as a part of the general county school system. As early as 1897 the General Assembly passed an act creating the Hickory Graded School District, but it was not until six years later that the schools were ready to begin work. In 1903 the present school build ing was erected. The school board which had charge of this work was composed of C. H. Geitner, J. \. Lentz, J. L. Mur phy, J. F. Abemethy, H. E. Mc- Comb, and McCoy Moretz. Ow ing to some defect in the legis lative act, there was no money available for the erection of a school building. A number ol public-spirited citizens, however, become personally responsible for the money borrowed, and the building was erected. In 1905 the Board of Aldermen, by virtue of a special act of the legislature, appropriated ten thousand dollars to pay for the building. The erection of the school building was an illustration of the old adage that, "Where there is a will, there is a way." The building was completed and school opened in January 1904. with Superintendent D. K. McKae m charge. There were five women teachers employed in the school that year. Superin tendent Mcßae continued in charge of the schools until 1907, when the present superinten dent took charge of the school work. GROWTH OF THE SCHOOLS. The growth of the schools has been remarkable, especially with-, in the last five years. However, this growth has been confined to the white school, as the atten dance in the colored school has increased very little. In 1905- 1906 the enrollment in the color ed w?s 201, and in 1910-1911 the enrolment was 218, an increase of only 17 pupils in five years. Beginning with a teaching force of six in 1904, the number of teachers employed in the white school was eight in 1906, ana thirteen in 1911. The white school census was 765 in 1905, and 1038 in 1911. There were enrolled 427 pupiis in 1906, with 'an average daily attendance of 306. In 1911 the enrollment was 648, and the average daily atten dance was 502. In five vears the school population increased 35 per cent; the enrollment in creased 52 per cenr; and the average daily attendance 64 pe: cent. This record of growth is one of which any system of city schools may well be proud. Within the last five years there has been a decided increase in the cost of almost every thing. But the per capita cost of main taining the schools of Hickory has decreased instead of increas ing. In 1906 the cost of carrying on the white school, including teachers' salaries and supplies, was $3785.88. Based on the av erage uaiiy attendance of 306, it cost $12.37 per pupil in daily at tendance to carry on the school. In 1911 the amount paid for teachers' salaries and supplies was $5793 63. The cost for each of the 502 pupils in daily atten dance was only $11.54. Th.e cost of the schools is an excep don to the general increase in the cost of living. AIMS OF THE SCHOOLS. It is the purpose of the school to develop in the pupils correct habits of thought and action, to give a thorough preparation for the practical duties of every day life, and to prepare for entrance into the colleges of the State. Since only a small percentage of pupils ever go to college, the main purpose of the school is to train pupils for successful work in life. The course of study now cov ers a period pf eleven years: seven years in the elementary grades, and four years in the high school grades. All through the course pupils are encouraged to think for themselves, and to depend upon their own efforts. A man's success in life depends for the most part upon his abili ty to think out things for him self, and to do things for him self. It is not so much what a man knows as what a man can do that counts in life. And so it is the aim and purpose of the school to train children to think for themselves, to do thorough work in every subject of study, and to become independent, self reliant workers. In the elementary grades par ticular attention is given.to read- A King Who Left Home set the world to talking, but Paul Mat hulka, of Buffalo. N. Y. says he always keeps at home the King of all Laxatives Dr. Kings New Life Pills and that they're a blessing to all his family. Cure constipation, headache; indiges tion, dyspepsia. Only 25 at C. M. Shuford, Moser & Lut« and Gri rocs ]>ug Co. ing, writing, spelling, arithmetic, and English grammar. In the high school grades mathematics. English composition, and the sciences are stressed; and at the same time history and Latin are studied for the purpose of en larging thepupil's mental horizon. Fully two thirds of the w»rK in any grade is in those subjects, which have a direct practical bearing in actual lite. NEEDS OF THE SCHOOLS. - The point has been reached where the work of the schools is being seriously hampered for the lack of sufficient room. Last year there were, on many days, 530 children crowded in a build ing that was designed to accomo date 400 pupils. The increase in enrollment for next year wilr probably be not less than o0 pu pils. And as Hickory continues to grow as various new indus tries are located here, the in crease will be much larger. When the growth of the last five years is considered, it is not too much to say that within the next few years there will be a thousand or twelve hundred chil dren in the school. There should be worked out a definite plan for the location ol school buildings, so that an or derly, compact system may b developed. There should be a nigh school building, centrally located. Last year the enroll ment in the nigh school depart men was 143, and this numbei will be increased year by year. There should be primary build ings for the grades in East Hick ory and in West Hickory. Tht present building could then b( used for the primary and gram mar grades. it seems almost needless to say that thorough work cannot be done under such conditions at prevail. If the schools are tc secure the best results, ample room must be provided for the comfort and safetv of the child ren. There must be teachers enough to do the work with tht necessary thoroughness. The welfare of the children of Hick ory is at stake, and their best interest demands that additional school buildings be provided. CHAS. M. STALEY.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, f . rvl . , vigor and cheerful ness soon disappear s when the kidneys are out °* ort^er or (^s " r j . Kidney trouble has JvPj&Lji w become so prevalent rill ~ * that it is.not uncom /y ? mon fof : a child to be W born afflicted with rr-t weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet ting, depend upon it, thecause of thediffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidney 9 and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

Her latest move has attracted the attention of almost the entire country. Her business men got together and made up a pot of $200,000, as a guarantee fund to be used for jocal investments in new industries. That town will get business long before many others of equal size begin to think about it. Already offers of for eign capital have begun to pour in, among which may be men tioned offers to build a big bridge building plant, an overall factory and a chair factory.

Lesson X.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 3, 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, a Comprehensive Quarterly Review—Golden Text, P«. xxxiv, 14—Commentary Prepared by Rav. D. M. Stearns. LESSON I.—lsaiah's prophecy con •eruiug Sennacherib (Isa. xxxvii. 14- iSi. Goideu Text. I*B. xlvi, 1, "God is jur refuge and streugth. a very pres ;nt help lu trouble." Sennacherib is iu he Hue of Caiu and i'haraoh and ail -neinles of God aud His people to be -unstimulated in the blaspheming anti hrist of the last days, back of whom tnd through whom is always seeu the Jevfl. The devotion of Hezekiah to he living and true God was too much for the great adversary, and so he itirred up the king of Assyria agaiust Hezekiah But see how two men who Knew God prevailed iu prayer. LESSON ll.—The suffering servant of iebovah lsa. ill. 3. to liii. 12). Golden rest, isa. liii, t>. "The Lord hath laid >n Him the Iniquity of us all." We ;ind this record right lu the midst of the last part of Isaiah, the middle •hapter of the middle section, and the middle verse Is liii. 5, whiib gives us che heart of all Scripture. If with His itripes we have been healed, then as His redeemed ones standing agaiust the world, the flesh and the devil, we must be content to suffer with Him and count It a great privilege (Phil. 1, 29: I Pet. Iv. 13: v. 1. 10*. We shall be satisfied when He is (1111, 11). LESSON lll.—Manasseh's wickedness ind |K'nitence (II Chron. xxxiil. 1-20). Golden Text. Isa. 1. 16. 17. "Cease to io evil, learn to do well." Of all the wicked kings of the ten tribes none exceeded Ahab in wickedness, but Manasseb in .ludab seems to have ex •eeded him. tiy comparing II Kings cxi with our lesson chapter we see •low fearful the record is. It looks as f he did the very worst that he could Jo. The conversion of such a wicked man should greatly encourage parents who have ungodly children, for God is full of mercy. LESSON IV.—.loslah's devotion to God •11 Chron. ill. 4. 1-13). Golden Text. Eccles. xii. 1. "Remember now thy Creator In the days of thy youth." This boy king probably knew only of iiis father's zeal for God. and may have been thus Inspired with a slmiiat zeal. When he was only sixteen he began to seek God earnestly, and when he was twenty he purged the land from Idolatry and did that which the man of God said 300 years before thai Me would do (I Kings xiii. 2; II Kings xxlii. 16). When he was twenty-Bix he began to repair the house of the Lord his God. LESSON V.—The finding of the book of the law (II Chron. xxxiv. 14-33). Golden Text, Ps. cxix. 11, "Thy word have I hid In my heart that I might not sin against Thee." As he went on in his good work, God gave him more light by causing the book of the law to be found. This was a fulfill ment of the word, "Then shall we know If we follow on to know the Lord" (Hos. vl. 3). If we act up to the light we have, God will in some way send us more. The Lord knew that Joslah woold Inquire into this and be obedient and humble himself before God. LESSON Vl.—Jeremiah tried and ac quitted (Jer. xxvi. 7-19). Golden Text. Ps. xxvll. 1, "The Lord Is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?" It seemß strange that priests and prophetß of the Lord should want to kill a man because be spoke the words of the Lord, simply because the message did not suit them, but there were In those days, and there are today, professed messengers of the Lord whom He never sent, prophets of the deceit of their own heart speaking lies In His name (Jer. xxill. 14, 16, 21, 26. 26). LESSON Vll.—Jeboiakim burns the prophet's book (Jer. xxxvt, 20-32). Golden Text. Isa. xl, 8, "The word of our God shall stand forever." It was not the prophet's book, but the Lord's book, which the king cut up and burned in the fire, but the book was written again immediately In a larger edition, and the Lord attended to Jeholaklm. There are many now who seem to have no fear of God while professing to be His messengers and who ruth lessly set aside large portions of Scrip ture. calling them myths and fables. The Lord will see to them, and Ps. cxix, 89, stands. LESSON Vlll.—Jeremiah cast Into prison (Jer. xxxvil, 4-21). Golden Text, Matt v, 11, "Blessed are ye when man shall revile you and perse cute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake." He is still bated and persecuted for the truth's sake, even as many were before Him. and are now and will be till the kingdom comes (John xv, 18- 21; xvl, 1-3). The father of lies cannot stand the truth and will not If he can help it. but he cannot lay a finger on any child of God without permis sion and then only as far as permitted. LESSON IX.—Judah carried captive to Babylon (Jer. xxxlx. 1-10). Golden Text, Num. xxxil. 23. "Be sure your sin will find you out." Notwithstand ing all the peaceful words of the false prophets, the word of the Lord by Jeremiah was literally fulfilled in due time. This age rft so called progress, which Is the progress of all things to be controlled by one devil possessed man, the antichrist, will end by the overthrow of all things that can be shaken, and then shall come the king dom of peace and righteousness.
