AcricuIturaICo College,.

The increased number of students
that have been reported at most of
the agricultural colleges is not so much
IN indication of a more prosperous con-
ditiou of the farmers, enabling them to
send their sons to the college as it is
of the fact that they are better recog
nzing the value of the practical knowl-
edge that they can there obtain of the
best methods of handling all or some
of the various branches of agriculture
aud horticulture. And ii is in part due
to the managers of those same colleges
having lately paid more attention to
-:eachDg in these special branches. 1t
may not be that they have in any way
lessened their requirements in other
studies. but they have begun to under
stand that those who have chosen the
agricultural college instead of the
many which are not claSsed under that
name. have done so because they want
ed or We're desired by these who sent
them there. to learn that which will fit
them for farmers life rather than for
n professional life. And those which
are the most prosperous to-day are
those which first learned this lesson
and profited by it.

TIC Creamery a. a Club.

A peculiar phase of the dairy busi-
ness in some quarters is the organiZa-
ton of cooperative creameries. which
everybody hopes win not do business,
SAYS the National Stockman. The milk
producers of the East have concluded
that the exchanges. the condensaries
and the middlemen should not have
exclusive control of the business, in
Guiding the fixing of the prices at both
ends of the line They are making
fight for what every man should have
"a fail price for his products. based
on the prices of feed, labor and other
items of cost and as compared with
other products of milk. They expect
to use the creamery as weapon--a
club to force the buyers of milk TO pny
Il fair price-but they hope that it will
not be operated. The buyers of milk
have fixed prices in a very arbitrary
fashion for Il long time and probably
viii continue to do so if not checked
by some such means. There is moth
ing like competition to remedy this,
and the dairymen have decided to raise
ttn competitor of their own.

THE GRADED
SCHOOL MA TIER.
Prof. Jefries Makes a Salts factory
Explanation Ot the Ar1ance-
InCnf of the Pupils at the
UDcra NOUSe

Us Il report has been circulated that
there was class de elimination shown
in the practice of the Graded Schools at
the Opera House Thursday, Nav 3Gth,
feel that the patrons of the schools
should know the circumstances. In the
first place the children of School No. |
had practiccd the songs for month;
there being no organ or piano ut School
40. >, the children did not know the
songs we'll, hence ] thought best for
school No. | To march into the Opcra
House first, commencing with the 9th
grade, and then School No. =, and | so in
Hiructcd the principal and teachers.
Contrary TO our expectations there were
not enough seats on the first floor to
seat the schools. Some in School 40. |
and all IF School No. = were left stand
ing. ! instructed the principal to seat
those left standing on the first seats in
the gallery where all the audience, rich
or poor, SIT at our closing exercises, no
ncgroS heing present. 1t was then for
the first time known that the gallery
had not been swept, and it was very
dusty, though the manager of the OPERA
House hah paid the regular iantor to
perform that duty and discharged him
Immediately for not having done so.
In the emergency the principal himself
busted few front seats as best he could
in the short time on each side of the
aisle to seat those who could not be
seated on the first floor.
There was certainly no class discrimi-
nation in the arrangement as some of the
mill children came to School No. and
were seated on first floor, and some of
the town children were placed in the
gallery where my wife and some of the
trustees, wives sat on Friday 31st until it
VAS seen, that as it was raining, there
were seats OH the first floor. they and
I,ch"Ol No. 2wcrc then given seats on the
first floor.
No one regrets more than that any
Of the children had to be sent into the
gail" v, but under the circumstances we
did the very best and only thing that
could be done.

fore the day of examination.
Post yourself on current events.
A great many applicants have
failed in the last few years on &C.
count of their inability to answer
a question or questions as to
current events. The student who
is not keeping in touch with the
history Of the present day will
be placed oftentimes at q great
disadvantage in the examination
room. II is not probable that
the examinations of this summer
will come off without some ques-
tions on the geography and his
tory of some important incident
within the past five years.
Study South Caroiins. The
teaching of home. geography and
history is occupying such a large
place in the schoolroom OF late
years that it is not very likely
that any of the examinations on
these subjects will be without
several questions on the geogra-
ply and history of South Caro-
Tina. If you have not in your
school course studied South
Carolina history you should give
considerable attention to. it be-
fore going into the examination
room. Some question in regard
to your own county may be asked
you and you should at least be
able to draw a good map Of it,
even if you can not find anything
else about it.
Write q letter.. It oftentimes
happens that o large part of the
English e1amination is given to
the writingsof a letter. By this
letter the candidates ability to
spell, write, and compose is
tested. You may be able to write
\ good letter but you should see
that you write it in accordance
with the grammatical rules there
for.
Lookout for catch questions.
Especially is this. true in history
in which there are a number of
catch-qusstions that are always
coming up.
