good. bad or Indifferent, but will it pay?
If 1t will pay, he will print it, good, bad
or Indifferent. Mr.. Johnson determined
never to conduct business ON that basis
and he never has. 1t is said that this
house is the first publishing concern in
the world to provide a series OF books
designed to secure all-rOund develop
ment having regard for the physical and
moral as well as the intellectual Well
being of the child. When Mr.. Johnson
inaugurated his educational department
he announced that his aim would be to
publish only such books as would aid in
the cultivation of the whole being-mind,
heart and body. 1t was rather a novel
idea in the educational world then, and
at the time it provoked little more than
a smile. Eminent educators did not hest
tate to say that it was visionary, but
the johnson Company has fought it out
on this line ever since, and today the
educational world is fairly ringing with
this new idea. During all this time
the company has never published book
for revenue only. 1t has published books
for revenue, but for revenue and else.
Mr.. Johnson believes in making money,
and like other publishers, he wants to
know of book whether it will pay; but
he also want OF know whether it will

school books. AS every one knows, there
was not single book furnished our
alligators and rebellion grew, and men
sat in the shade and listened to their
blood boil And true prophet that he was,
when he took up his pen to write, he
could but tell of the vision that was be-
fore him.
AS a consequence, when Southern boy
had gotten through his series of Northern
school histories, his brain-box, as some
one has said, would have done credit
to a Boston museum" In one corner the
Boston Tea Party was always in pro-
scenery, listened to the story of Northern
achievements, cast flowers at the feet of
Northern heroes, passed his leisure hours
with Northern books, and when he came
to write of the South's part in history
WELL the North was SO near and the
South SO far; and the only vision that
came to him was a little gauZy outline
of a far away land of spices and scorch-
ing breezes, hanging on the ragged edge
of his beloved country--a land where
sight. All his life the New England au-
thor had gazed lovingly upon Northern
gress, for the boy had never heard what
happened to the tea that went to Will
mington and Charleston. Aud just oppo-
site stood Israel Putnam on a pedestal

have been, first, that the South has just
as gifted and as cultured men and women
as may be found anywhere else in the
world who needed only encouragement
to produce the books required for South
ern students, and second, that the house
should never place its imprint on a book
of which it could ever be ashamed, but
that the standard OF the books published
should be constantly raised. Such prin-
ciples deserve encouragement. Now that
the South has reached a position of in
creasing wealth, it has time to devote
to the cultivation of it's educational
facilities. This will be advanced by
hearty support of B. f. Johnson as
worker for the South"
The company is just now engaged in
flooding the South with hundreds of thou
sands of leaflets designed to quicken
the interest of our people in better edu-
cational methods and in the higher type
of school books which the house is pub
fishing One OF these leaflets is at once

Probably there is no institution in the
South in which North Carolinaians feel a
deeper interest than the great educational
publishing house of the B. F. Johnson
Publishing Company, of Richmond, Va.
While it is not our fortune to have the
headquarters of this house located in our
State, some of our representative men
are msong its leading stockholders and
it is an open secret that much of it's
literary work is done by, North Caro-
linians. Another secret of the hold which
this house has gained upon our people
lies in the great moral principle for
which it stands. When Mr.. Johnson start
ed his publishing business it was the
conviction that it did not hurt a great
commercial institution to stand for a
great principle. 1t is common remark
that the average publisher prints book
for revenue only. The only question he
asks of book, will it pay? Not is it

There's world of solid comfort in
knowing where some things come from.
Butter, for instance.
One can never contemplate a new cake
of butter with any peace of mind until
it's geography has been cleared up. For
whatever it may appear without, one
wants ones butter to be like the king S
daughter-'all glorious within; and in
a matter of this sort geography is the
next thing to anatomy. Who that has
known the bliss of relieved mind can
forget that supreme moment when, paus-
ing in painful perplexity over the new
bought golden cake, there flashed from
the head of the table the triumphant
announcement, THAT butter is from Aunt
Mary's!'
For, as all the world knows, Aunt
Mary's butter is always butter.
Nothing but butter.
It's the same way with books.
A thoughtful man never sees new
school book under a boys arm nowadays
that he doesn't have something Of the
sensation which comes over one while
hesitating before a new cake of unidenti-
fled butter.
He wants to know where 1t came from.
For school books, he has learned, IS
like butter in that it may be all glorious
without, and all inglorious within There
are school histories, for instance, which
are very fair to look upon, but which are
very unfair when they come to look upon
the deeds of our Southern heroes.
There are histories which tell the truth
for the most part, and grow weary in

THE GOLDEN RULE.

Then, there's the publisher who prints
books for revenue and else
Not for revenue, but for revenue and
else.
He, too, asks will it pay? But he wants
to know whether it will pay the child
to study it, as well as the publisher to
print it. Is it good book? Does 1t
tell the truth? Is 1t fair? Does 1t exalt
one hero at the expense of another?
Does it honor our own land and our own
people? Are there any spiteful filings In
1t? Will 1t cultivate the child's mind
at the expense Of the heart? Is it pure,
wholesome. e1evating? Is it just such a
book as the publisher wants for his own
child? If 1t is, he will print 1t. II 1t
isn't, he won't print 1t, not If there are
millions in 1t.
AN INTERESTING SECRET.
This accounts for thing or two.
1t accounts for the way our people
come to regard Johnson's textbooks.
When Southerner finds that his boys
text books came from the B. F. Johnson
Publishing Company there's contentment
the same sort of contentment that
steals over his spirit when it is announced
that the new butter came from Aunt
Mary's. If it came from Johnson's he
knows there's nothing in them that ought
not to be In them. He knows that they
are pure and wholesome. And he knows
they are the best to be had They are
not perfect-nothing is perfect-not even
Aunt Mary's butter Is perfect-but they
are always being revised and revised, and
they are improving with age.
Which is more than can be said of the
best butter in the world.

pay our children to study it as we'll as the
publishers to print it. This is the sort of
thing North Carolnians like; they like
great house that stands for a great
principle.

There are books and books because,

for instance, who prints books for revenue

Not for revenue, but for revenue only.

important part.
There are books which have daggers in
them; books with spiteful filings in them;
books that are tainted through and

and through, except in spots, like good
butter that has suffered from sundry
foreign invasions.

Funny lIen.

The jests OF Heliogabulus were very
practical. He was fond of inviting
people with some physical deformity
to dinner and making jokes about
them. At times he would invite n doz-
en- hunchbacks or score of squirting
ladies or an equal number of baldheads.
Once he put large number of exces-
sively fat people, all very hungry. into
n small chamber where dinner was
waiting. There was no room to eat it.
Another diversion of which he was
fond was that of placing his guests on
air sofas, so that when they were about
to drink he could let the air out and
have both sofa and guest collapse.
1t is said that Nero. the Roman en-
peror, liked to shy" nuts at the bald
heads of the prntors who sat below
during the performance at the theater,
and they were expected to maintain
their baIdheaded dignity and refrain
from ''shying" them back at him.
