Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union Hostess for
Teachers' Reception.
The W. C. T. IL, recognizing the
great power and influence of the
teacher in the class room ' over the
minds and hearts of children in the
plastic period of their life, has
sought to keep in close touch with
the schools and have shown appre
ciation of the teaching profession in
many and varied ways. Each year
the local union has entertained the
teachers at a reception. This year
the occasion was celebrated at the
home of Mrs. J. L. Mims, when
eighty-five guests were present. Ex
cept for the dust, the afternoon was
ideal and the program was full of
interest.
Mrs. J. L. Mims greeted the
guests- at the door, and Mrs. T. H.
Rainsford and Mrs. Helen S. Nichol
son assisted in making all the mem
bers of the W. C. T. U. and other
guests acquainted with the faculty
of our school.
Edgefield should be very proud,
in a proper sense, for the musical
telant which we have, as is shown
by the following programme, but
which the mere reading of the type
can not fully exemplify. Only those
who were present could feel its
beauty and uplifting power.
. In the greetings, Mrs. J. M.
Wright spoke of the desire on the
part of the U. D. C. to co-operate
with the cshool and of her desire for
the correct teaching of Southern
history, also the past enthusiasm of
the faculty in rendering assistance.
Mrs. Helen S. Nicholson very gra
ciously made a# spontaneous greet
ing for the D. A. R. in the absence
of the Regent, Mrs. Susan B. Hill.
Mrs. W. E. Lott represented the

given to the school an elegant recep
tion, soon after the opening, and en
that occasion she ha- welcomed them
but she said that w 4 claration of
loving greetings cc rot be too
often reiterated. 3
Mrs. Lovick Mu ' beauti
ful presentation ol wje . due of a
music club, and her greetings were
a prose poem. One lady said 'Mrs.
Mims is a past master in doing pleas
ant things."

?alf of the League of Women Voters

cordial greeting and invitation t
the teachers to attend the mission s<
cieties of their' respective churche!
The Civic League and Episcopz
societies were invited to send a ret
resentative, but all programs, lik
all human events, have their disaj
pointments and in this case we wer
deprived of hearing from these ei
fective and uplifting agencies; in ou
community.
The following was the program
