HAS NEW SCHEME TO KEEP PUPILS

Principal Has Separate Classes for Boys and Girls in Sumter School.

Clergyman Praises Eckman's Alterative

A Valuable Remedy for Throat and Lungs.

"A truly remarkable record" is the "way Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, characterizes the work of S. H. Edmunds, superintendent of schools at Sumter, South Carolina, in keeping boys and girls in Jiiffh school. Analysis of figures presented by Mr. Kdmunds showed that comparatively few fall by the way in the Sumpter Bchool system. There are 63 pupils in first-year high school, 63 in the second year, 60 in the third, and 55 in the fourth year. Last year 53 graduated from high school and 40 went to college, an almost unprecedented proportion in a public high school. The work of these boys and girls in college is highly commended by President S. C. Mitchell, of the University of South Carolina, and President D. B. Johnson, of the Winthrop Normal and Industrial Institute, both of whom declare that the Sumter pupils were not

ably well prepared. Dr. Mitchell says j

Mr. Edmunds has effectively answered the question "How to hold boys in high school. The superintendent himself mentions a number of points that seem to him to account for the enviable figures. In the first place, he cites the fact that in his system boys and girls are educated separately from the sixth grade up, making it possible to apply education more directly to the special needs of each sex. Again, he points to his military company of grammar and high school boys, in charge of a regularly employed commandant, as another feature that proves attractive. More fundamental from the educational point of view than either of these is the insistence by the superintenden that each pupil shall realize that he is an individual, not a mere cog in the machine. Thus a valuable sense of personal pride is developed, which leads to a desire for more and

more education. As a further incentive for the pupils to romain until the : end of the course, graduation from ! high school is made an important I

event in the student's career. Although giving due weight to these

explanations, educators who have in-! vestigated the conditions believe there is a deeper reason for the presence of so many pupils in the Sumter high schools. According to Professor Hand, the state high school iuspector of South Carolina, the real secret is to be ! found in the cordial personal relation ' that exists between Superintendent ( RHEUMATISM j

Read his advice and judge for yourself. "I had Rheumatism for a long while and tried many medicines said to cure the disease, but was not cured until I used RHEUMA, and it-has certainly done all that it was recommended for. I

cannot praise RHEUMA too highly. My advice to those suffering from Rheumatism is to use this great remedy, as I believe it will effect a permanent cure in any case." C. B. Lanham, Sattes, W.

People who have Consumption are often filled with bright hopes of recovery, only to realize that improvement is but temporary. Consumption is dreaded by everyone. Those who had it and used Eckman's Alterative can testify to its beneficial effects. No one need doubt it there is plenty of evidence from live witnesses. Investigate the following Amenia, N. Y. "Gentlemen: Prior to Feb., 1908, 1 was located in Rochester, N. Y., suffering with La Grippe, which developed into Tuberculosis. My physician gave me one month to live. I was having terrible night sweats and mid-day chills and losing flesh rapidly, having gone from 155 to 135 pounds. I coughed and raised continually and became so weak that walking a few feet exhausted me. On my return home, my regular physician gave me little encouragement. My father, who is a clergyman, heard of Eckman's Alterative and induced me to take it. The night sweats and chills disappeared, my cough became easier and gradually diminished and in a few days I developed an appetite, the first in months. I am now in perfect health, back to 155 lbs. I feel certain that I owe my life to Eckman's Alterative." (Signed) E. H. COWLES. "Gentlemen: I cannot find words to express my appreciation of what your remedy has done for my sou. It changed despair into hope within two weeks after he began taking it, and without any doubt in my mind, it saved his life. I wish to add my endorsement to every word of his testimonial." (Signed) REV. J. J. COWLES. Pastor Presbyterian Church. Eckman's Alterative is effective in Bronchitis, Asthma, Hay Fever; Throat and Lung Troubles and in upbuilding the system. Does not contain poisons, opiates or habit- farming drugs. For sale by leading druggists. Ask for booklet telling of recoveries, and write to Eckman Laboratory, Philadelphia, Pa., for additional evidence. (Advertisement)

Edmunds and the boys and girls in his system. Whatever the exact explanation, the success in keeping boys and girls in school at Sumter is an unusual one in American high schools, and demonstrates what can be done even with the ordinary curriculum in a school where an enthusiastic superintendent puts his whole soul into the task of education and inspires an entire community with some of his own fervor.

The Theaters

imbedded in the eternal dramatic unities. Any fair actor could have appeared successfully in "Ready Money." But only one in a thousand in the title role of "The Only Son." In the exposition of this character Thomas W. Ross presented a superb dramatic picture. Like an artist whose canvasses are not always uniform in either handling, color or sentiment, Ross may, at other times, lack in translation. The writer does not know, never before having seen him. But in "The Only Son," Ross was artistically without flaw. And that means that he was Life itself. The story of the play, in brief, is this: "The Only Son," Thomas Bralnard, son of Brainard of the same name, western miner graduated into New York magnate, leads a gay and irresponsible life of dissipation after the manner of some sons of this class. His good and handsome middle-aged mother, neglected by her husband through absorption in his financial interests, and bereft of those occupations which filled her days formerly, falls in love with a certain famous French portrait painter while he is painting her picture. She is unconscious of it until the artist shows it to her in the eyes of her portrait. He has painted it in. He feigns at reciprocation and she writes him some "silly school girl letters" as she later expresses it. But she finds that he cares nothing for her merely that she had money. He- is, later, killed in his studio. A detective, prowling round for evidence, finds the bunch of letters. Takes them to the husband, who confronts his wife. She admits but tries to explain. He demands an immediate divorce. And the crucial action follows.

The fine point is made in the de-, velopment of character in the son, ! who loyally sticks to his mother, and :

under whose careless, dilletante and mocking manner lay the stuff from which men are made. Ross, in his rapid emotional chan

ges, in his light expression of deep j and beautiful feeling, in the delicate i comedy with which he veiled the trag- j ic situations was exquisitely appealing, both from the standpoint of life and art. i He gave an exhibition, in short, of superb acting. ; His cast was excellent. The difficult role of the mother, which could so eas-'

ily have been made farcical or ridiculous but whose fine line was maintained throughout, was admirably taken by Lizzie Hudson Collier, and Campbell Gollan as the father gave a skillful exhibition of dramatic verisimilitude. The others were good, but the interest lay between the three. As usual the house was small. This town is the worst old fraud on the map. And has the worst theatric manners on record. E. G. W.

ANSWER THE CALL.

Richmond People Have Found That This Is Necessary. A cold, a strain, a sudden wrench, A little cause may hurt the kidneys. Spells of backache often follow. Or some irregularty of the urine. A splendid remedy for such attacks, A medicine that has satisfied thousands Is Doan's Kidney Pills, a special kidney remedy. Many Richmond people rely on it. Here is Richmond proof. Bc-njamin Lunsford, Twentieth and S. B Sts., Richmond, Ind., says: "The public statement I gave some years ago recommending Doan's Kidney Pills was correct in every particular. I was annoyed by attacks of kidney complaint for fifteen years. Whenever I caught cold my back ached. Sometimes the kidney secretions were profuse. Doan's Kidney Pills checked this annoyance completely. Once or twice since then when I have taken this remedy it has done good work." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

THEATRICAL CALENDAR.

Gennett Theater. Dec. 17. "Mutt and Jeff.'

At The Murray. Vaudeville, Matinee and Night.

Earlham College. Dec. 14. German Play.

The Murray. An unusual large attendance was

on hand yesterday at the Murray and "A Day At The Circus" with Worm-J wood's celebrated Dog and Monkey Hippodrome seemingly pleased every-'

bouy. The offering is so different from the usual run of vaudeville bills that it is attracting large numbers

who are not in the habit of attending)

vaudevilie theaters. This interesting and most pleasing program will remain for the balance of the week.

The Murrette. For today the Murrette will be the scene of another one of those well

known Kay-Bee features entitled ! "For The Cause" a military drama in two reels. The story is a three cornered love affair with ample room for excellent acting and most thrilling scenes. Sensationalism characteristic of the Kay-Bee war drama abounds. Details have received careful consideration and the picture, in its entirety, promises to equal if not excel the famous. "When L-e Surrender." In con- . junction with the above excellent offering a clean cut comedy will be pre- 1 rented making a program well worth freeing. i

"The Only Son," in its way, is a dramatic masterpiece. For, after all, what is it you should have on the stage? A reflection gf Life. And absolute naturalness. To be sure, paradoxically enough, the latter is gained usually through excessive artifice. But that is theatric art sifted through personality. It. is dramatic technique translated by temperament. And you must have a play. ' "The play's the thing" last evening was not dominant. Because it had to have a perfect medium. "Ready Money" seen here a few weeks ago was so finely constructed that it couldn't be spoiled by the worst actors alive. No matter how the superstructure

rocked and swayed, its foundation was
