President Winston has set pace at
the Agricultural and Mechanical COL
lege at Raleigh which ought to be fol-
lowed by all high grade colleges in the
State. It has been stated that twenty
five students who made application for
entrance were refused because they
could not stand the examination. Pres
I'd 3nt Winston proposes to have no pre-
paratory department at that institution,
a.i in this THE COMMONWEALTH thinks
nial wise. Indeed we haye long be-
ieyed, that preparatory departments
oaght to be abolished at all
our colleges. There are many argu-
nents IN favor OF this position. To al
iov preparatory department. in colleges
brings these institutions In direct COM
petition with the teachers whom such
institutions send ont to prepare young
snen for college work. Then the very
fact that college maintains prepara-
tory department sets it down as no very
nigh grade institution, but as bidder
for any and all who wall come.
But one OF the strongest reasons Tor
abandoning such preparatory depart
rnents is, that the young men who go
out to teach may have chance at the
patronage for training the young men
and boys who have heretofore been ia
ken into preparatory classes at the
colleges.
President Wlnston's action In aban-
soning the preparatory department VIII

nave the true idea of academy, high
school and college work.

DRILL THE TONGUE DAILY.

"Upon all those who are ambitious
to make the world happier and better
rests the obligation of drilling the ton.
que into lustrous kindness, purity and
refinement" writes Rev. Newell Dwight
Hills, D. D., of"The Diffusion of Hap
piness Through Conversation" in the
August Ladies Home Journal. "Not
by spasmodic efforts, not with occasion.
al hints and words OF good cheer, are
men to use the tongue in the interests
of happiness. The daily drill of the
tongue as an instrument of happiness
and influence is to enter into the fund
amental conception of living. Nor is
law binding only upon those happy
persons who are said to be good enter
tainers. Some there are who are so
fortunately organized that they exhale
benefactions upon any company into
which they enter. Unconsciously, and
without any set purpose, they oil the
bearings of life, lessen friction, provoke
laughter and good cheer, as naturally
as flowers that do not struggle to throw
off sweetness, as the cedar wood that
without thinking gives off fragrance.
But the law of happlness-making is not
confined to the few gifted individuals.
1t is binding upon all OF every rank,
station and temperament.
"On high iestal days in Athens, when
professions formed at stated intervals,
in the professions marched men with
instruments of music, and also incense
bearers. When one group of musicians
had marched by and the sound Of music
was dying out Of the air, another group
took up the sweet strain. When dis
tanee had removed far the incense bear
ers, another group came on to fill the
air with clouds OF smoke from the
sweet aromatic shrubs. Too oft our
world marches forward to the sound OF
sad notes and requlems. Happy are
those whose sweet and gentle speech
fills the common life with sweetness
and light as did the ancient ministers
of ioy and music. For their whole
some tongues are indeed trees of lile
and their words like apples of gold in
pictures Of silver

of society, that we cannot understand
and sympathize with the swaddling
clothes that bind and confine the yot-
ing unit in South American Repub-
lie. Our constant struggle, expressed
in the reform movements of all grades,
is to secure for the humblest voter a
voice equal in influence to that OF eve
ry other voter, no matter how superior
in wealth, or education, or opportuni-
ty. And furthermore the whole peo-
pie accepts without any violence, elec-
ton after election, the verdict of the
majority. In the southern republics,
almost without exception-and partic-
ularly in the Central American Repub-
lies, the voting machinery is so thor
oughIy in the hands of the reigning
government and the army, that revolu-
ton becomes almost the only way OF
yolcing dissatisfaction.
Destiny would seem to indicate that
the future OF South America will
scarcely be influenced by ideals other
than those now there. And therefore,
one can scarcely look upon 1t as likely
to experience broad and rapid devel-
oonent. Brazil, the greatest and the
latest of southern republics, is practi-
caIly closed to American and British
enterprise by reason OF restrictions on
machinery and what-not. Its vast
commercial possibilities will wait long
before the non-inyentive and some
what lazy Ilatlns come abreast Of them.
So also OF much else ct the southern
territory. Its uncertainties render it a
doubtful field for Investment as the
frightful failure ot the Barring Bros. a
few years ago will testify. What it is
gaining in the way of trade comes from
the daring OF foreigners, and yet the
sentiment OF the country is SO evident
ly hostile to foreigners that there is no
intention on the part Of many of them
to throw in their lives and their ener-
gles as citizens, but to simply get all
they can out of the prolific opportuni-
ties of the country and then leave.

authority, concluded to build troll
ley read that will have such connec-
tions and traffic agreements as will
make continuous trolley line from
Jersey City to Washington. 1t has al
ready filed with the secretary of state
of New Jersey a map. showing where
the tracks viii run, and has been at
work for several days gaining the writ
ten consent of property owners to lay
the tracks. The company has made an
agreement with the Trenton Street
Railway Company, which has a mo-
nopoly of the local franchise to date,
$50 that there viii be no conflict be-
tween the two in that city. While the
Pennsylvania railroad officials make
no declarations with respect to its pro-
jections, from the place Of the tracks,
which leave those OF the company at
Broad and Market streets, Philadel-
phia, and cross the Delaware river on

is to run On down the river to Phila-
delphia. The actions Of the company
in dealing with the residents OF Bruins
wick turnpike, which the company
owns under a turnpike charter and
which the people along the turnpike
want to secure for the purpose Of
macadamizing it, show that the com
pany desires to give the road to the

build a trolley road upon It. This in
dicates the intention OF the company tc
build a road to New Brunswick from
