Nearly every one has heard OF
DR.. Alfred Holbrook, the founder
of the National Normal University,
and at present Chancellor of the
Southern Normal University, for
in his time he has taught more than
so, 900 students, and the majority
Of these have taught, or are teach
ing, every state in the Union having
thus felt his influence. While yet
a young man he had charge of a
school in which he was annoyed by
having students come into school
sslittle inclined TO study. lrrespon-
sive and cross" from the effects of
dancing and other evening amuse-
ments. The matter was discussed
with the students, and presented in
so clear a light that they of their
own accord agreed that penalty
should be imposed. Prof. Holbrook
suggested that the student who
kept late hours should not be per-
mitted to attend school for two
days, thereafter. One young lady
asked if one day would not be suf-
ficient, when Prof. Holbrook re-
Piled .sno, | do not think that
would be any penalty at all, for
you are good for nothing one whole
day anyhow" The students agreed,
and ssGood order and diligence
were secured This statement
from DIR. Holbrook's Autobio-
graphy teaches its own lesson and
is given without comment.

The Sanitation of Cuba,

The United States Treasury De-
partment, to which the Marine
Hospital Service is attached, has
undertaken task, which, while it
will be extremely valuable in the
way of sanitation and protection
for the public health bids fair to
become the beginning Of a new
system of health protection for the
Southern States, and through them
of the whole country.
The West Indies and more par
ticularly the Island of Cuba, are,
by reason of their position and
nearness to the Gulf ports of the
United States, perpetual menace
Of the health Of Gulf and South
lantic States because Of the fact that
yellow fever exists In those islands
all the year round. Cuba, as has
been stated, Is source of
the greatest danger. because con-
slant and extensive trade communi-
cation is kept up between its ports
and those of these States.
So long as Cuba has been under
the control of Spain, no system of
public sanitation there was posi-
BILE. just as soon as it shall come
under the power or influence of the
United States, systematic work for
public protection is to be COM
menced. 1t is already being be-
gun at Santiago, and from there
it will be carried to Havana and
other ports. The work is being
undertaken by the Marine Hospital
Service, under orders from the
Secretary Of the Treasury.
If yellow fever could be extin-
gushed in Cuba, there is good rea-
son to believe 1t could be driven
out of all the territory of America
north of the equator. 1t was
originally an African fever, aggra-
waited by the horribly unsanitary
conditions created by the slave
trade, and SO it was planted in
Cuba, whence it has been carried to
other parts of the world.
The sanitation of Cuba is now
going to be possible, and if the
dreaded yellow fever can be driven
from North America it will he one
of the grandest conquest of civiliza-
ton DR.. Carter an active and able off
Ger of the Marine Hospital Service,
we'll known in the city from his
useful and fruitful labOrs III behalf
of the public health, Is to be sent
to Cuba to commence this great
work.-Picayune.

Any regiment of American men
will fight we'll on short notice,
whether it be regulars or volun-
teers. American boys take to guns
IS naturally as duck does to water,
and there are not many men here
who do not know how to take care
of and handle gun. 1t does not
take a years training to make good
soldiers of most men. The battles
of the republic have generally, al
most entirely, it may be said, been
fought by volunteers, for the reason
that our regular army has never
been large enough to wage q war
of any consequence.-American.

In the administration of Cuba.
Spain only considered Spain and

Spain's Loss Of Empire,

On his accession to the Spanish
throne in 1856, Philip III. found
himself ruler Of the grestest en-
pire the world had seen since Rome
was in the zenith Of its power. Its
navies were famous for their great
ness and they ruled the ocean, its
armies were famous for their pow
ers: she swayed the destinies of
Europe, had possession Of all the
continents, and may be said to have
owned the Americas, North and
South. Samuel johnson, writing
as recently as l74O, when complain
ing of the poor peoples hardships,
said:
Are there no regions yet unclaimed by
Spain?
Quick, let US rise, those happy lands
explore,
And bear oppression's insolence no
more.
The Spanish Empire was the re-
suit of marriages, conquest and
discoveries; its decline and fall may
be ascrlbed to the ruthless character
of the Spanish people. When Col
umbus discovered San Domingo,
it had population of 1900, 900; in
1880 this population had dwindled
to $4,000. Cortez in Mexico and
Pizarro in Peru were ideal Spanish
conquerers..
In the latter part Of Philips
reign The died IN l59s] Spain lost
all, or nearly all, of her dependen
cies in north Africa, and early in
the next reign, Burgundy, Naples,
Sicily, and then Milan. In 1909
the Netherlands were lost; in 1928,
Malacca, Ceylon, Java, and other
islands, 1910, Portugal; in 1913
all claims were renounced to Hol-
land, Brabant and parts Of Fland-
ers; in 1919 were lost Maestricht,
Hertogenbosh, Breda, Bergen-op-
Room, and many other fortresses
In the Low Countries, in which
year the crown tacitly surrendered
supremacy on the seas to northern
Europe; in 1859 Rouisillon and
Cardague were coded to France,
making the Pyrenees the boundry
between the two counties; in 1868
to 1879, the last of Flanders were
given up; in 1904, Gibraltar was
lost; 1891, the Nootka Sound set
Elements; in 1894 SanDomingo; in
1900, Louisiana; 1902, Trinidad; in
1919, Florida; from 1910 to 1921,
were lost, Mexico, VENEZUELA, Col
ombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia,
Chile, Argentina, Banda ORIENTAL
Paraguay, Patagonia. Guatemala,
Honduras, Nicaragua, San Saliva
dor, Haiti, and numerous other
islands pertaining to the American
continents, all the possessions in
the American continents, all the
possessions of the Western Henri
sphere, in fact, save Porto Rico
and Cuba, which already appear
antly are as good as lost. The future
of Spanish Morocco, aud of the
Philippine, the Caroline, Sulu, La
drone, and Canary groups has yet
to be settled.-Memphis CONNER
