broad scale, the Southern teachers are doing ill more limited sphere.
 The last meeting of the Southern teachers was held at Hot Springs. Ark. Dec. 31, Jan. 1st and Ed. There were about seven hundred teachers Tn attend. ance The meeting was one of the most successful ever held. On the morning of Jan. 1st, the Association was addressd by Supt. N. c. Dougherty of Paris, III, who as President of the \ E. A. came a. a fraternal delegate to offer greetings from our Northern brethren. He was followed by Dr. Wm. T. Harris. the U. 5. Com missioner of Education, who told us What the South had done for education, and what education had done for the South." The facts and figures brought out by this venerable man, were very in- spring to every patriotic Southerner. Following this address, was Symposium -''The Rural School and its Needs, dis cussed as follows: The Township Sys- tem,' by Supt. Junius Jordan and J. M. Carlisle. State Supt. of Texas. How to Enrich the Instruction in Rural Schools, !" State Supt. J R. Kirk. Summer Schools and Teachers Institutes" Prof. w. Rose, Nashville, Tenn. "White Teachers in Negro Schools" Supt. J. II. Phillips. Birmingham, Ala.
 The evening session commencing at 8 o'clock was taken up in two addresses, What Go Ye Out to Seen by J. E. Mer- win of St. Louis. Mo. and Educated Citizenship by R. Minor Wallace, of Texarkana. It would perhaps not be un- just to remark concerning each of these addresses-es pecially the last that they would have been great deal better than they were. had the length of the address not been out of all reasonable proportion to its breadth and depth. On the evening of JafIuary ?, Dr. Wm. T. Harris refuted the charge that Public Schools do not teach morals. He showed that the school that insisted on Regularity, Punctuality, Order. Industry, and taught by precept and example the virtues of Honesty, TruthfuIness, Duty, Obedience and the like. were intoxicating the very best kind of morals. And did more to make virtu- ous citizens than could result from giving ''lessons" upon these topics. The work of the teachers was brought to close by very appropriate paper, writ ten in a lighter vein, entitled The Plea sures and Trials of Teaching" This was given by A. l.. Peterman. editor of the Southern School" Lexington. Ky. The speaker had the go' on the audi ence from the start and he kept it until the end Everybody laughed. the digni- fled as well as the giddy. They couldn't help it.
 In addition to the regular Program there were held afternoon. meetings by the three Departments into which the Asso- ciatton divides itself.
 1 can take time to mention only one exercise which was given in the Depart ment of elementary education. This was practical demonstration of work done in the Kansas City schools. By means of phonograph the audience could hear Prof. Hisey ask his pupils questions and hear their answers. This of course was very enjoyable.

The Southern Educational AsSo-
 CiatiOn.

am frequently asked questions like the following: What is the Southern Teach ers' Assocation?' What good does it do?''
 might answer briefly. it is an associa- tion of Southern teachers; it's object is for mutual profit; it does great good or no good, according to tine several motives of those who attend. The same might be said of those who attend church. Any good christian will tell you that it does not depend so mnch upon what the preacher says, as upon the hungry soul that hears. Not SD much upon the grain that's SOWn. as upon the condition Of the soil that re- ceives.
 But to be more explicit In nearly every county in the state the teachers meet i'll county institutes or associations, these meetings may be once a quarter, once a month or oftentr Most cities also have their teachers to meet in Institutes period 1 lcally. The State of Arkansas has a State Association. which meets once a year. All states have similar organizations Large states frequently have several. Some states lave separate gatherings for uperlntendents and Principals.
 All the teachers in the United States meet once a year under the name of the | National Educational Association. All of these institutions. be it understood. are entirely independent of each other. Mem berShip iS entirely voluntary. The national gathering of teachers is a granG | body. Its members are numbered by the thousands, yes hundreds of thousands. | fhls body like the political conventions which nominate our Presidents, seldom 1 meet in the South, as our cities are too small to entertain such numbers as attend | For this reason mainly, as well as for other reasons which will appear to the l thoughtful mind, the Southern Educa- tlunal Association has been called into existence.
 i N ithin the last few years the papers and reports of the N. k. A. have been very highly prized, not only by teachers. | but by the pubic generally. For instance the "Repurt Of the Committee of Ten, p aud the Committee of Flfteen,' have re- ceived much comment from the secular and religious press. Many of these papers have been published hy the Department oi Education at Washington for general distribution. The last move however. is ta have these papers copyrighted by the Association.

HarnessInu the Sun

when we sit in front of a coal fire and
enjoy its generous warmth, do we real
lie that the heat and light of the burn
ing coal are really sunshine that has
been stored up for ages? Such is the
lact Centuries ago the sun shone on
the earth, the plants and trees grew.
Tell, and grew again; they were cover
cd by geologic deposits, and acted upon
10y great heat and pressure, until IN the
course Of years and ages these broad
layers Of organic matter were trans
formed into coal. The coal thus repre-
sents the work done by the sunshine
years ago, and when 1t is burned the
imprisoned solar energy Is loOsened
again.
Our system Of power production de-
Ponds upon this presence Of energy. But
coal Is Il wasteful source of energy.
Even the best engines do not utilize
over 10 per cent. of the calculated ener-
gy OF the heat Of coal And, besides
this' 1t is an inconvenient thing IN
many ways; 1t has to be mined. freight
cd and stored. Can we not find some
more economical way OF using the suns
energy?
During the list few years the great
progress IN electrical science has ena-
bled man TO utilize the solar heat in
thrliuer way. During Its days work
the sun draws up q large amount OF
water from the oceans and damp earth.
By the action OF its rays plant life -four
ishes, and plants draw from the ground
ana evaporateinto the air large amounts
OF water. Thus an oak tree OF average
size, with seven hundred thousand
leaves lifts from the earth into the air
about one hundred and twenty-three
tons or water during the five months
II displays Its foliage. This evaporated
water, sooner or later. falls as rain.
