The Southern Farm Magazine.

-
Tn the discussions of educational
problems, more intense IMAM at
present, there is too often q neglect OF
the main point, the necessity for fuLaa-
mental training at home, without which
other educational energies run the risk
of misdirection and failure. The m
portance of this feature of education IS
dweIt upon in two articles published in
the April number of the Southern Farm
Magazine. They approach the subject
from different directions, but their con
illusions are in general harmony. In
one, Miss Emma Beall Culver of Au-
burn, Ala, tells of the part which South
ern women are to play in the task OF
training the young properly. She goes
to the root of the matter for the pur-
pose of impressing the conviction that
upon the mothers and home influences
rests largely the responsibility tor the
welfare and happiness Of the rising gen
Grafton. They, and they alone, can give
right tone to the mind and heart OF the
children, without which training may
be futile. The natural inference from
her argument is that the teaching quail
ity is peculiarly that of women, and that
provision must be made for the right
sort of mothers, so that the right sort OF
children may be ready for the training
in the larger life beyond the home. In
lighter vein MIR. Edward 1ngle APP
proaches the subject from the route of
the servant question. Far-leachlng as
it is in its effects, and grounded on de
fective training of employers and en-
ployes alone, he brings in comparison
the obvious feelings of both classes as a
basis for the suggestion that the trials
of each may be lightened, If not over
come, by the common teaching Of gen.
eral Homework to boys and girls. Both
articles ought to have effect for prac-
tical good.
Another interesting and practical ar
ticle is by Col. j. B. Killebrew, who
deals with practices in agriculture Diet
rimental to success. He sharply criti-
cises the habit Ut wearing out land by
improved cultivation, the diminishing
of the timber supply by clearing up
fields, and the attempt to cultivate too
much land. His conclusions are that no
more land should be cleared than the
quire; that all old fields should be en-
riched, and that less land should be
planted, so that it may be more Their
oughIy cultivated.
A paper of Prof. S. A. Knapp, read
before the recent rice convention ut
Lake Charles. La, points to prospective
markets for rice, and is encouraging to
men in the Southwest who are changing
the face of agriculture in that region.
A review of the South's production,
both industrial and agricultural, pre-
sents IA mass of valuable facts encourag-
to everybody who has faith in the great
future of the South, the products of
agriculture lion reaching a value OF
more than 81. ,000, 000.
The regular departments OF the mag
azine are filled with interesting matter
for old and young, and the months is

upon the manifold energies now exerted
in the agricultural South.

Again have the scissors of the Fates
been at work, anG the thread of a sweet,
young life cut, and a pure and gentle
soul been waited away into eternity.
When death strikes down the aged, af-
ter years Of usefulness, we feel that,
having fulfilled their destiny, their lot
is to be envied and their crown of i'm
mortality a fit tribute of a well spent
life; but, but when it singles out youth
and health and strength, how do we
ponder on the inscrutahlo ways of this
all wise Providence. The lamb Of n
household flock has been sought out
and stricken by the fell destroyer, and
we must bow low on the altar of sac
ritice. To the Borrowing loved ones,
