wHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

80 many things there might have been
Had our dear child not died; J
We count them all and call them DER,
we weigh the less against the more;
Tne JOY she never knew or shared,
The bitter woes forever spared,
The danger turned aside
teaven's full security, and then,
Perplexed. we sigh: All might have been.
We might have seen her sweet cheeks glow
With loves own happy bloom,
Her eyes with maiden giadness full,
FINDING the whole world beautiful;
We might have seen the joyance fail,
The dear face sadden and grow pale,
The smiles fade into gloom,
Loves sun grow dim and sink again
Either OF these 1t might have been.
We might have seen her with the crown
OF wifehood on her head,
A queen OF homes fair sovereignties,
With little children at her knees;
Or broken-hearted and alone,
Bereft and widowed Of her own,
Mourning beside her dead;
This thing or that, beyond our ken,
1t might have been, It might have been.
There is no need Of question now,
No doubts. or risks, or fears;
Safe folded In the Eternal care, pm So
Grown fairer each day and more fair,
With radiance in the clear young eyes,
Which. in cool depths OF Paradise,
Look without stain OF tears.
Reading the Lords intent, and then
Smiling to think what might have been.
We, too, will smile, o dearest child;
Our dull souls may not know
The deep things hidden from mortal sense
Which find thy heavenly confidence;
On this one sure thought can we rest,
That God has chosen for thee the best,
Or else II were not so.
He called thee back to Heaven again,
Because He knew what might have been.

The public has heard occasionally Of the
successful culture of tea in an experimental
way in South Carolina. Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson, a thoroughly practical man,
believes the industry will eventually become
established. During a recent tour through
the South he made a personal inspection Of
a tea farm in South Carolina and was sur
prised at what he found He says:
1t is only a question of time when the
South will produce all the tea the people
of the United States want. This depart
ment proposes to push experimentation
along that line. We intend to establish a
tea farm in every Southern State as soon
as that can be lone i~ntelligently. We pro-
pose TO get the finest varieties Of tea to be
found In the Orient and to have the plant
ing done where growth can be forced
through irrigation 50 as to get plenty OF
end shoots.
Experience has shown that plants adapt
themselves to new climates and conditions
more readily than was formerly supposed,
and it is quite possible that a tea plant may
be developed hat can be grown successful
ly in the Southern States. The fact that
Secretary Wilson thinks so shows 1t is not
a visionary scheme.

II the members OF the indianapolis School
Board could hear the that are be-
ing made on the action of that body in re-
gard to the employ ment of married teachers
their ears would burn with a peculiar in
tensity. The criticisms come from all
classes Of citizens, including those who have
only a general interest in the schools and
the teachers. 1t is a gratifying fact that
the indianapolis public Is particularly well
Informed and broad in its views, and this
exhibition of parrow-mindedness in what
should be a representative body Is therefore
the more humiliating. The opposition TO the
action OF the board does not come from per-
sonal interest in one teacher or another.
but from the feeling that discrimination
against any class of teachers on any ground
other than their educational and moral quail
ifcations is uncalled for and unjust. 1t may
be that the proceeding was based on personal
grounds and for the purpose Of reaching a
specific case. but this. II true. makes the
matter only the more petty and contemplate.
