A Needed Textbook.

It is the duty of the south to teach
its children the truth about the civil
war.
In too many schools of this section
have crept text books, purportlng to
be histories of the civil iwar, which
contain so many gross misrepresenta-
tions and absolute falsehoods that any
self-respecting southern man would
prefer that his children should not be
taught anything of that unfortunate
conflict than that their minds should
be filed with lies about it.
Mr.. A. L. Hull, of Athens, has pub
Ished a compact, well arranged and
perfectly reliable little text book Of
SsThe Campaigns of the Confederate
Army which will commend Itself to
every school teacher and board Of edu-
cation who desires to have southern
children learn the impartial history of
the struggles and achievements Of
their heroic fathers and grandfathers
who fought for the Confederate cause.
This book does not inculcate sectional
prejudice or bitterness, which the
south has no purpose or desire to per
petuate.
It does contain fair statement of
the Confederacy which the people OF
the south must teach their children or
prove recreant to sacred duty.
The text books which SANDER the
south have been well-nigh eliminated
from the schools of this section, and
the work of throwing them out will
be kept up until they shall be
thoroughly cast out. Such books as
that which Mr.. Hull has prepared will
take their places and our school chill
dren will be protected from the frauds
which have been so often imposed
upon them as hlstory.-Atlanta Jour

have to compile set of returns"
which make an Englishman' ears
Single as he reads.
We have now the blended stupidity
and cruelty Of these rebel execu-
sions. I am not surprised to see that
some dozen leading farmers were after
wards banished from the Cradock dis
trict. Probably, as the South African
News suggests, they refused to attend
when ordered. I hear that the Muir
raysburg district is seething with
fury. Yesterdays papers report a
specially fierce and successful attack
on military train in that nelghbor-
hood. It will yet be found that the
putting up of the scafolds for Coet-
zee and Marais was equivalent to
building recruiting Offices for the Boer
commandments. May God inspire our
rulers with humaner and wiser coun-
sels, but the average British officer
exercising military law appears from
what I have seen of him to regard
himself as aviceregent of the Almighty
without his responsibility.
The other point on which our mis-
conception of the Boer character has
a bearing arises out of the question of
the settlement. Ever since the publ
cation of the peace negotiations be
tween Kitchener and Botha | have felt
that the main responsibility for the
blood afterward shed lies on the head
of Mr.. Chamberlain. Botha, - ac-
cording to Lord Kitchener, tried very
hard for modified independence. "
This disposes, by the way, of the com
plant which I see in the latest ar
rived British Weekly, that there lis
.4no sign that the Beers in the field
will ever look at any terms that do not
provide for the restoration OF their in
dependence. Z" Precisely. But Kitch-
sner has revealed to US how they are
now willing to interpret indepen-
dence. Offer them exactly that kind
of home rule which the Liberal party
tried to obtain for ireland and there is
no doubt it would be wholeheartedly
accepted. Only we must approach
them in a frank and friendly spirit.
