Athens High School. -- Athens, Dec. 17.--Last week the local high school board accepted the offer of the Athens high school Alumni Asspelation to furnish and equip one instructor's desk and nine students' desks In the science room. This enterprising organiza. tion had its origin in April, 1922, when a dozen or so of interested persons met for the purpose of de- vising every * way possible in re- building and equipping a new high school to replace the structure de- stroyed by fire the previous autumn. for the best essay on "A History of the Schools in Athens." Very helpful sermons were deliv- ered on Sabbath last in the Metho- dist church by Rev. Mr. Horton, of Westport. His morning theme was the parable of the sower, (Math. 13:3-8) which he dealt with under four heads, the sower, the seed, the soil and the harvest, elucidating each point and proving that eternal reward or punishment are thre result of individual choice. The evening text was, "Ye Cannot Serve Two Masters," (Math 6:24), This is an axiom. The only logical course is to serve Him, whose we are by crea- tion, preservation, redemption. To serve mammon affords no perma- nent advantage here, and will re- sult in dire calamity hereafter. One of those enjoyable events which linger in the mind as a |J. David Johnson wae elected pre- | sident, and 8S. C. A. Lamb, secre- { tary, and with others to form an i executive, these indefatigable work- | ers have subsequently labored inces- santly in prosecuting their laudable enterprise. Their additional ob- jective is the purchase of suitable chemical apparatus for the iabora- tory, ample seating accommodation for the auditorium, and a high class plano. From {ts inception, the Alumni Association has aimed at the enroll- ment of all teachers and pupils of the school, and have succeeded in obtaining the names of over two thousand one hundred, many of sponsibility and trust, for this in- stitution has ever striven for the cultivation of high ideals, and the {nculcation of principles of integ- rity. The history of education in Athens dates back to about 1840, when, as a part of the district of Johnstown, it is included in ancient records. As early as 1853 there was a girls' school, a sort of kinder- garten, where sewing was a part of the cufriculum. At one time there was keen rivalry between the public school and a "select school" con- ducted by an American, a Mr. Holmes, who returned later and be- came the first principal of the newly- founded grammar school in 1860. Various buildings have constitut- ed the school house, but in 1859 the splendid stone structure destroyed by'fire in 1905 was erected, and for some time served to accommodate both public school and grammar school. In 1879 a new grammar school, our beloved Athens high school, as we have known it in our generation, was erected, and, during a period of forty-two years, was a centre of our county, but throughout the province, and beyond its confines as well, In order to encourage re- search with the view to the accum- mulation of accurate data regarding cational system, Mr. 8.

A splendid paper on "Favorite Hymns and their Authors," by Miss BE. Montgomery, was most {lluminat- ing. She traced the circumstances connected with the composition of such hymns as "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," "Rock of Ages," "Saved by Grace," "Take My Life and Let it be Consecrated, Lord to Thee," He, soclations, giving valuable glimpses of the biographies of their authors. Miss Bunham, Mrs. Tapping aad Mr. Neff rendered enjoyable musi- cal selections. Two interesting con- tests were then supplied which elicited rounds of merriment, and eliminated all formality. Boxes of delicious home-made candy wera awarded the prize winners. Then came characters which revealed much originality and keenness of wit. Refreshments followed, to which the fifty or so present did full justice, after which the Y. P. { 8. president, A. D.

It is now nearly thirty years since the House of Industry was erected, and, during the years, it has been a haven and shelter for a multitude of indigent folk throughout the united coun- ties of Leeds and Grenville. At present there are forty inmates, twenty-four men, and sixteen wo- | men.

Worst of all it is the period of the year when a battery receives the least charging because of the rarity of long With the most extreme demands being made upon fit, Securing Heavier Charging d it does not involve a damagingly high rate of current flow, the charging rate of the generater may prop- erly be increased during the peak demand portion of the season. an alternative, one can install a rectifier, which will "work while one sleeps," and keep the battery fully charged, by occasionally being operated overnight. Another method for securing Increased charging is to drive on second instead of high gears for a part of the time each day, thus lengthening the period during which the generator is supply- ing current. This expedient is not entirely an agreeable one, but is less objectionable than running the engine idle and often adds enough As leanest period. Economy In Lighting Current By using the headlights on "dim" instead of on "bright," as much of the time as permissable and using special parking lamps instead of the regular dimmed bulbs, when the car is left for stand'ag long periods, the demand on the battery can be considerably reduced.

Wilson Burnham and family have rented the G. W. Brown house, Church street, and will take pos- session when the present tenant, Mrs. Elliott, vacates. A runaway team being driven by A. Hudson, mail carrier, caused great excitement on Main street Monday. Just west of the town the horses took fright at an auto, .and breaking the wagon tongue, be- came unmanageable and ran through the street until they ran j font of a tree near the town hall which brought them to a halt. Fortunately no one was injured. On Tuesday, 16th inst., a sale of farm stock and Implements took place at the farm of Thomas Kav- anagh, who has leased the Prince street residence of Mrs. Clara Chant and will soon take possess- {ion. Mr. Kavanagh has recently sold his property, known as the Joseph Clow farm, to a Mr. Burtch who comes from the river front, and who has already begun pre- parations for conducting a musk- rat farm. On the property is a small pond connected by a creek with Temperance Lake, and a dam is being constructed as an in- itial step in the enterprise.
