EDUCATION IN IT'S RE-
LATIONSTOCHURCH
DEVELOPMENT

DE Y ELOPMEN
There is no subject upon
which our people need arous-
ing SO much as upon the sub
ject of education. To-day
there are more reasons for
missionary efforts in behalf Of
education in Western North
Carolina than in behalf of
evangelization. Our people
areessentially religious. Nor
mon missionaries and sancti-
hCation fanatics will find fol-
lowers by the score. And
this is equally true in very
many other localities in our
State. Most of our people
early in life connect them
selves with some church.
They may be, and most of
them are, christians. But
that is all. All they want is
just enough religion to escape
hell on. Or if they, by good
chance, get to heaven they
want their accounts to Just
balance. They don't want to
be credited up with any souls
they have been instrumental
in saving except thosein their
own households. It costs too
much to save a soul away from
home. In fact Christ made
a mistake, according to their
way of thinking. when he said,
Go We into all the world and
preach the gospel to every
creature, unless he had made it
possible to do it without the
expenditure of any money.
MANY of them. too. do not
think Sunday Schools pay. or
if at all. only through the sum-
mer months. To run a Sun
dav School the year round
makes religion cost too much.
To go to Sunday School every
Sunday the livelong year would
be as disagreeable as taking
cod liver oil every week the
livelong year. It will do for
sickly children. but not for
healthy grown folks. If YOU
fail to detect any truth in
these statements. reject them
So our people are religious in

6 Kind Of a. Move.

q ;tStenger, the we'll known stock.
mar living neal, Hermosa has Joined
handsSwith A. c. Walker and the "
gentleman will put down an artesian
we'll. The move is one of the right
kind and if a proper flow is obtained
1T means much for the western half of
the state. Messrs Stenger and Walker
nave contracted with parties fully
equipped to put the we'll down deep
enough to make the test a fair and
thorough one and The STOCKMAN
hopes th~at.they will be successful. The
we'll will be sunk rear Hermosa and
work will begin next week. OF the
venture the Hermosa Plot says:
The interest that is taken in artesian
wells as a solution OF the water ques
ton Is the result OF the geological
surveys that wer- made in our vicinity
last summer by a government expert
VINO made a number of maps of the
s~ubteranean features, who stated as a
result of his Investigations that on the
fla east Of town artesian water could
be obtainec at 4 depth Of about 1900
feet.
1t now seems probable hat a vel!
will be put down early this season,
and 1T is sincerely noped that it will
be Il successful venture. and that before.
many months Hermosa will have
a "spou'er.' The opinion Of tn.
government expert that artesian water

strengthened by the fact that artesian
water is obtained at or near B .lle
Fourche where the physical conditions
and attitude are very like those here.
If an artesian flow can BE- obtained a,
Hermosa it can be had ut Rapid City
and throughout the surrounding coun,
try. 1t will BE- the longest step pos.
sihle to be made toward the successful
solution Of the water question
aud, if a sufficient flow can b.
obtained it meals the ultimate redemD-
tlon OF thousands Of acres agricultural
lands which today lie barren for the
want o. water. Such a change would
mean the doubling or 1rebling of Lar d
values and permanent prosperity for
those towns not now enjoying the bene-
hts OF the large pay rolls of the mines.
This includes most o, the townS out
side Of Lead City and the district
directly adjacent thereto. and Key.
stone.
The government has also let a con-
tract for a thorough test of the arte-
sian water proposition at Fort Meade
and work will begin as soon as the
weather permits. That heavy flows
can be obtained here in the Hills no
one doubts, but it takes money to make
a thorough test, and one has never We;
been made.
Dry ranches may yet ''blossom as
the rose" and our dry and barren
table lands be turned into veritabie
gardens. Both experiments will b.
watched with the keenest of interest
and everybody sincerely hopes for the
fullest measure Of success.
