Published Every Tuesday ia The Daily and Sejm-Weekly Intelligencer and devoted to the cause of Education in Anderson County and Mfa} h HISTORY Of THE LEBANON PARK STORY OF ACCOMPLISHMENT AT ONE COUNTY SCHOOL SCHOOL IMPROVED Ladies Take H?kTonr. Make Many Changes for the Better in School. It was during thc administration of Prof. Abrams that tho Idea of organ izing a civic association' was sug gested by him. The baro suggestion was enough for that peerless and tire less community worker, Mrs. J. G. Duckworth. She talked and worked and agitated until she got together enough women to organize. This, how ever as an organization, was a.failure. In the meantime, Mrs. Duckworth'and her co-worker Mrs. Breazeale, went to work along civic lines, determined to win a prize, for the Lebanon school. Accordingly, they decided to-have a school park. For thft . purpose Mrs. Hreazeale gave, a plot of ground mid way between the school house and the Bpring. By dint of hard work, and gottlng a little work from the men and persuading tho school children to lend a hand, the park began to "develop. Some kind of pavilion seemed to be a necessary part of a park. V jre was no1 fund from which to draw, so Mrs. Duckworth, at her own expense, had a large and comfortable pavilion built The name "Lebanon School Park" In large black' letters on a white ground, was hung over the lower en trance. Some of the boys contributed rustic bird houses and bridges. A col lection was taken and enough money raised to buy a good swing. Scattered here and there were flower beds and mounds. This park secured a prize of fifty dollars In the school. About this time Mrs. Duckworth became ill and had to give up public service. But Mrs. Breapealo was faithful and kept things going until the fall ot 1913. At thlB Urne Mrs. Maggie Garllngton, supervisor of rurol schools, cam? tip to the opening of the school. Shh asked the. ladles to organize a Behool im provement association. After explain ing its. purpso, the. ladles became quito, enthusiastic .and proceeded at once to elect officers us follows: Mrs?. A. J.. Smith, president; Mrs. J. 3. Eux?Ui, vice-president, and Mrs. D.M. Graig, secretary, and treasurer. A program was arranged and the time ot meeting was te. bc each Friday afternoon be fore the first Sunday. , ? The first -work the association did was to secure a janitor and. have the school house thoroughly swept at least once a day. For this* purpose each pupil paid ten cents per month. The main purpose .of the. associa tion seen became apparent and that was to make money. To this end it was not a/ great' 8ucce?s. However, by the help Of bur good friend, Capt. Tay lor, the auction netted something over fifty dollars. ' ? % We asked tho ohurch to donate their old organ to tho school. This was cheerfully done and Mr. Marshall Smith put lt In good repair at a cost of five dollars. ; ? The old school house having no aud itorium, Mrs. Duckworth proposed to havo seats* built on one sido of the pavilion. This waa agreed to, and she was appointed lo have the work. done. Fortunately, the lay of tho ground was such that the seats could be arranged in tho form bf an amphitheater. After .the carpenter bad finished his work, thc ladies bought some, creosote and gave tho eeete a good coat Our 1913-1914 commencement ex . efclses were held In tho park;' and it was delightful to .'nave tho pure freBh air Instead of tho stale air ot the overorowdod school room. Our asso ciation has several gas torches which furnish plenty of light The association furnished dinner tor" the county T?achers' Association. It ia wonderful how willingly Gio members contribute . refreshments when requested to do . so.1 ' During tho month ot August a mu sical entertainment was planned. Sev eral fiddlers in te neighborhood were ' asked to asslBt In furnishing music Fortunately Mrs. C. 33/Elgin was vis iting her mother; and she consented to drUl tho children and young tfeeplb in einging sor^e songs. Before - the music began.'we proposed to fd"-'ice cream. Several churns were dOWUea by ladies who were not - monitors. Some ot Gie ladies wero asked ;i0-ft& nish supper for tho fiddlers. After .retting ovorythlng ready, we vero doomed to msappolntih?nt. The .lot? drouth was broken by a W JJ?; PrAaantly tho sun shono out, .and lt looked Uko tho o vening J?* beautiful, but in an hour's time it was . bining again, .We moved .the{cream and ?upper from the patk into tno Sol house, but PO^jtogjJJp got her children ia as good, shape- as .possible: Alter their songs^o^fUU rilera ployed several pieces, .ar. -rran* Mumwk asked the audioneo to excuse Se"wSi. and hoped that it would by ti d^ki^arda?m. ono ot ?ur owe bom aiM-oao-of w.Xom wo are Justly Sd Ke made t?ehoola Ronero*? offer; but wo aro not Able to meet tho conditions^ ^ gave 'vy ab'ut ten dollars. At the September meeting Mrs. J. D. Welborn pr. losed that we 'give tho new faculty an open air reception dur ing the afternoon of tho opening day. Mr. Pelton, county superintendent and Misa Maggio Garllington, supervisor of rural echools, wera invited, and Mr. Smoak, editor of the Intelligencer, came with them. After the introduc tions, Mr. Robbies, master of ceremo nies, called on Mr. Felton for a speech. He responded in lils usual happy Btyle. M?BB Carlington was called next She plead Ht ugo fright; but standing at her seat, Bhe gaye our society much en couragement She IB to blame for this article. Mr. Smoak waa introduced and gave a fine address. Everybody was carried away with the new editor. Mr. Robbins now asked the new prin cipal, Prof. P. W. Jayroe, for. a few remarks., He expressed his apprecia tion of the interest manifested in school work, and promised his hearty co-operation and best effort to make an "efficient" school. The high school girls served re freshments, and the guests were kind enough to say that they enjoyed this part o? the program. A few days before school opened, the association met it the school house armed with brooms, mops, dust cloths, disinfectants, etc. Tho honorary members brought wagons, barrels,. buckets, rakes, and hoes. The old school house just rejoiced when the ladies got through with' it The yard, including under the house, was terraced, scraped and swept. That waa a sure enough "cleanup" day;, and we are so glad that our teachers show their appreciation by keeping the house and grounds spick and span. While our main business* ls trying to make money, yet this ls only a means to attain our real purpose, with modern equipment and hearty co-op eration between the home and school. To accomplish these things, we must have every man and woman in the district enlisted In the work. If our aim is not accomplished, lt will not be the fault of our president, for ehe is faithful and alert In the dis charge of her duties, and is every ready and willing to work. ooooooooooooooooo ?

The appearance of the grounds was con siderably changed, there being several stumps, and stones and the burning off cf some . unsightly weeds. More grounds improvements are desired. The grounds aro yet to be laid off; and in the doing of this we feel that we' need the assistance of an expert along this line, before wo attempt at this improvement is made. Thc activities of the Hampton Lit erary society are still encouraging. The debate, resolved that negroes should not be educated was discussed very' fully in spite bf unavoidable ab sence of some who were to take part The program for the Impending meet ing Wednesday before Thanksgiving, promises to bo very good. Along with tho regular program," tho debate, Re solved, That the rural free- delivery of moil is woing more good than schools, is to be discussed.

WEDEMAN'S ADDRESS o o o ooooooooooooooooo The following is a summary of an address delivered by Dr. S. J. Wide man at health day Celebration exer clae8 at Townvllle high school Tues day, November 17. This address has been commented upon most favorably and is worthy careful reading: ."Self Preservation of the Body. In. tho first place, to preserve our j bodies wo should dress according to' tho season..Clothing should be thin in warm weather, and not enough cloth ing or underwear is harmful during the time that wo need it We would not be heir to os many aches and pains if wo would pay strict atteatlon to ourselves along this line. We should take a bath daily ot olive oil soap and take time to finish with a towel wrung out of cold"water. Dub J tho body thoroughly all over with this in order that pores of skin bc closed,' then colds are not easily contracted, j Few people take time to do this. After taking a warm bath the pores are open and should be closed before going out into the air. We should never neglect this bath, as all the Impurities of the body pass through the pores, ibo Inside liody.^ The teeth should be brushed twice dally, as this toughens tho gums and stops poisons. By overloading the stomach a habit which we are all apt to do sometimes, more or less, causes; infection, apoplexy, heart disease, liver, kldaeys and spleen all are overworked. Thus wc are unwillingly poisoning our selves,, robbing ourselves of the health God has given us. For instance, a certain man will go to the table, eat improperly with the whirl of dollars in his head, will ask a hurried blessing and perhaps get angry at wife about some trivial mat ter. By eating hurriedly ho harms him self. Stop him if you can, tell him Jokes. Even a pleasant smile is worth a whole lot to him. No business or sorrow should be brought to the table. Make tho meal hour tho merriest hour of the day, as this takes the blood;away from the" brain and makes the stomach work. . We can form some idea of how Rockefe?lor. valrx-J his digestion. At one time he offered a man $1,000,000 to euro him .of a bad digeatiqn. . Indigestion. In order to digest our food properly, it ls Important that we masticate our food thoroughly. The food should be cooked well, or would bo' likely, to produce abscess o? l!";?r. cancer, eic. Also big biscuits are bad. Small bis cuits aro much better to digest Bad cooked dumplings is another, also pie crust (s barely- , ever ?coked done enough to be eaten. Take care to' not eat too much. If you est too much at one meal, try do ing w. lu out at the next one. Constipation. It 1B believed that from 65 to 85 per coat of Gie peoplo suffer from consti pation. 'There i? u? doubt tu?t moot oil diseases start from this. . Invalids suffer moat from lt It be gins as a habit and ends In a disease. There should be a fixed time for all things. For Instance, every morning ls the time to reliove the body ot these wastes. This causo, though can easily he remedied. "A stiivh in time saves nine." . . :jr Most phyaicians will tell you also dentists, that it ls much easier to rem edy a disease before it becomes' chronic, and as I said before, go to the doctor, hunt the cause and cleon:up and keep clean.
