Cion it cannot be claimed that in
quality and certainty Of results it
compares with tho higher education
supplied by our universities aud col,
leges. Happily we arc able to re-
cognize conditions which tend to an
improved appreciation of collegiate
advantages. The extension Of our
school systom ought to stimulate the
desire OF pupils to enjoy larger op-
portunities, the old superstition con-
corning the close relationship between
the greatness Of the self-made man
and meagre educational advantages
is fast disappearing, and parents are
more geperally convinced that the
time ana money involved in college
course for their children are not
wasted. In these circumstances it
seems to me there is no sufficient
reason why so many of our young
men fail OF enrolment among our
college students. I am afraid the
fault is largely theirs, and that they
do not fully realize the great benefit
they, themselves, would derive from
a liberal education, and even with
out this, tho obligation resting upon
them to do their share towards fur
nishing to our country tho kind Of

A correspondent from Mississippi in
sinuates that don't know very much
about blackgum and sassafras and
persimmon, or ! wouldent say that
those woods wore good for hubs and
bows and glut". Well, since / saw
his "obiter diota" in your paper, l
asked the foreman of our wagon fac
tory, and he said: eve used to get
all the blackgum we could for hubs,
for it has no grain, and you can't
split it, and it maks very fine hub,
but nowadays we buy all our hubs
ready made, and they are of post
oak" DR.. Borcher, who is the high
est authority oonco1 ming tho trees
and herbs Of the south, says in his
book. "The wood of blackgum is
extremely difficult to split, and is
much used for hubs of Wheels"
The first real fine stringbow l over
had was bought from an Indian boy,
and it was made Of the heart Of sassa-
fras. He taught mo how to fasten
the feathers in the arrows. That
bow was the envy of my school
mates, and could send an arrow out
Of sight.
A dead porsimmon, or ono cut
down and seasoned, makes worry

Porcher says that the grain is of
such fine texture that he has used it
for engraving. 1 used to saw my

This is a wonderful book of DR..

tanning desert ptior of every tree,
plant and shrub in our southern

and it's title is, "Resources of tho

They must, Of course, be not only
we'll constructed and we'll equipped,
but they should be in sincere sym
pathy with all that concerns tho bet
terment Of the conditions surround
ing them-in other words they should
be actively useful. OF all useless
mon the most oulpably useless are
those who, having educational ac-
quirements and fitness for beneficial
work, do no more than exploit their
requirements in tho false and un-
healthy sociability of club life, or
find in them only aids to the selfish
pleasure of constantly restless foreign
travel and accessories to other pro-
fitless enjoyment. Such waste of
qualifications for valuable service is
especially blameworthy in a country
like ours, whore 80 many national
problems remain unsolved, and where
vast development awaits the most
strenuous activity and effort. 1 have
mentioned a liberal education as q
most important process in tho con-
struction Of our ideal self made man.
I hardly need say that this means
something moro than mere book
learning and that it includes the
practical knowledge and information
concerning mon and things which 80
easily accompanies the knowledge of
books, as we'll ns the mental discip-
line and orderly habit Of thought

viously this definition excludes that
measure of book learning barely
sufficient to claim a diploma and

decorate the ease of wealth and or

seems to mo 80 plainly certain and
yet, notwithstanding tho potency of
this factor and ever though educa-
tion may have contributed to the

stamina and resistance, will be sad

known of those for whom education
had done it's most and who yet did
wrong continually, espousing every
vicious and unrighteous cause and
delighting in the prostitution of their
splendid powers and requirements to
the betrayal and injury of every no.
