EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.

Mr.. Porter, late of the tariff com
mission, has been publishing in the
Philadelphia Press some very en-
couraging reviews of the south. He
came down here, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat, to inspect
and report-to see the commercial,
industrial and educational condition
of this section-and he has found
matters in much better condition
than he expected. He finds that
the report of the industrial improve
ment is not exaggerated; that many
new factories are springing up, doing
big business, and paying hand
some dividends. The stories told of
the iron mines and furnaces of Ala
bama are literally true, he declared.
He had been disposed, at first, to
doubt that iron could be made in
Alabama for 81 a ton-far cheaper
than in any portion of PennsyIvan-
ia-but he found this estimate to be
correct in every particular, and he
therefore predicts a brilliant future
for the iron industry of Alabama.
A late letter of Mr.. Porter turns
on the subject of education in the
South. He found the demand for
schools in the south more unanimous
even than Senator Blair's committee
reported it. Throughout this entire
section, there was Il demand for
greater educational advantages.
which the states were unfortunately
unable to give. There were not en-
ough school-houses, and they were
kept open an average of only three
months year, so that to get two
years schooling, which is about suf-
ticient to give one a very rudiment-
airy education and enable him to
barely read and write, it was neces-
sary to attend school for eight SEES
sions.
Mr.. Porter shows by figures that
the south is not only Jealous for ed
ucational Improvement, but is alrea-

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1894


The TINES Will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore IN ITS hlStOry-mOre widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
tierccly criticized, with a more complete or
ganiZatlOn, and an able ssOh of contribution
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made II successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow, no candf-
dates TO advance, but will meet every issue, IA
It has ever done. with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government, and tho pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading Journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to a newspaper.
The value Of newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
cOncisencss and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TINES spends layishly for news
from all parts of the world, but ali its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order to give the complete news of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
1t a large variety OF entertaining and insauC-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its coIJmDs
and to make il q journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the hoine cir
Gle. "a welcome visitor TO intelligent and honest
citizens Of every political, religious and social
taste.
The WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day Of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph ana better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population. have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying ThOse
that cling to their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our fOrwaTd-mOving people; they
are but shadows Of their former greatness, and
they have but shadow Of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone; and, with it, they are going, 100. 1t
was not the fault Of the papers: II was the i'm
prOVemenU OF the country that brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever they
live, now require fresher news; and they re
quirC more than news.
THE WEEKLY TINES gathers off the types of
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest 70 the people at large, and sets il before
them in such generosity Of paper and print as
would have astOnished us all twenty yeOrs ago

From the Palatka News.

from the Palatka News.
While Mr.. Drew's charges against
Governor Bloxham are doubtless
true, it is, nevertheless, undignifed
and ill-advised in him to make them
at this particular juncture. The in
terview was, of course, held with
view to Strengthening himself be
fore the convention, and however
much we hope that such may be the
effect, we are constrained to the be
lief that its result will be quite to
the contrary, for, as above said,
while we have no doubt as to the
truth of Governor Drew's assertions,
the friends of Bloxham, will, of
course, brand them Campaign lies. ="
We find the above paragraph
credited to TIE News, in Sundays

home to hear the news" as no such
language has ever appeared in these
columns. We do not know from
what paper the mes-Union clipped

crates to the population is growing
smaller every day. 1t is true that
the number of ilIiterates is great,
this being dle to the large increase
in population. There are more IL
literate persons in the west to-day
than ten years ago, but the number
Of persons to the thousand there
who cannot read and write is much
smaller than in 1870. During the
last decade the south has actually
reduced its percentages of illiterates
more than any other portion Of the
country. In 1870, 800 out Of every
thousand southerners could not read
or write; to-day the percentage is
only 255, in a thousand, an improve
ment Of forty-five, as against ten in
the middle and thirteen in the west
ern states.
The greatest decrease in its illit-
crates has been made in Florida,
where their proportion has decreas-
ed 40 per cent in ten years; then

THE SUN
NEW YORK. 1881.

About sixty million copies of THE SUN have
gone out Of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns Of all THE sun printed aud sold last year
you would get Il continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough TO reach
from Printing House square to the top Of
Mount COpcrnicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then threC-Quar-
teTS Of the way back to the moon again.
But The SUN is written for the inhabitants
Of the earth; this same strip Of intelligence
would girdlc the globe twcnty-seyen or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of copy of THE sun during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper III 1888 has af-
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation Of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of
American men and women.
THE Sun is. ana will continue TO be, 81 news
paper which tells the truth without fear Of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs which presents
the news all over the world without waste Of
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause Of
honest government, and which therefore be
Icycs that the Republican party must go. and
must go IN TINS coming year Of our Lord, 1884.
If you know THE sun, YOU like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. If you do not
know THE SIN, il is high time to get into the
sunshine.
