A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

The martyr to religion is not the only heroic
soul which exults amid the flames, and glories in
dying for humanity. The altar and the sacrifice
are seen as far back as we can look, Where the
sun rises upon history, there they are, the altar
erect and the victim ready. What army of the
olden time would march until the sacrifice had
been made2 What vessel would weigh anchor and
spread sails, before the altar had drunk blood?
Pay first the penalty of the gods! Take no for
ward step till the price be offered, till the benign
rulers of the world have been softened by the
sight of an altar grown red under the knife Of a
priest, and have filled their nostrils with the sweet
SAVIOR of burning flesh! So the army stood with
out motion, the fleet without a sail unfurled. Not
till after the sacrifice did waiting ships stand out
to sea, did halted columns move to the Forward
march," Gone is the ancient creed, gone the
olden rites, but the stern significance of the deed
rests and abides with us evermore. No forward
step does humanity take without the altar and the
victim-without the splendid heroism which offers
the one and the memorable custom which demands
the other.-From Thomas E. Watson's "Story of
France"

However discouraging the outlook may be in
some Eastern counties, it is undeniably true that
the educational campaign led by Governor Ay-
cock has accomplished great things in many Sec
tons of the West. AS evidence take this para
graph from the Monroe correspondence of the
Charlotte Observer:
The important change is taking place outside
of the incorporated towns. In some sections-not
by any means in all, mind you-the country dis
tricts are literally getting on fire along the lines
suggested by Governor Aycock and the other edu-
cational leaders, for bigger and better school
houses and larger districts, better teachers and
more than one in a school, and local taxation,
whereby the schools may be run six or eight
months yearly. Take Union County for instance;
there are some half-dozen ten months schools
doing preparatory and high school work and run
ming ten months; there is a rural graded school
running eight months, several public districts in
which private schools supplement the public terms
and make the whole from six to eight months. In
a short while there will no doubt be a dozen rural
graded schools in the county supported partly by
local taxes. All this is taking place where there
used to be little educational enthusiasm. This is
the work that is re-making the old Commonwealth
of North Carolina"

An Accomplishment for Farm Boys.

Every farm boy should belong to a lyceum or
literary society, and should cultivate by way of
amusement, not merely the intellectual side of his
nature, but his gifts of wit and humor. It will
be a great help to every farm boy in after life
if he will learn to be a good story-teller. Story
tellers, we are quite well aware, are born and not
made, as are orators and poets, but every boy, not
totally devoid of wit and humor, can learn to be
a reasonably good story-teller if he will but study
and practise. I have always regretted that, while
at college, I failed to join a club which met once
a month for the sole purpose of practice in telling
f~rst-class stories. The man who can tell a clean
story that sparkles with wit and humor is always
a favorite. He is the life of every company. It

The average length of the common school term
in North Carolina for 1896 was 1912 weeks; for
1897. 11.73 weeks; for 1898 and 1899, each 14O6
weeks; for 1900, 1856 weeks; for 1901, 1886
weeks. and for 1902, 1913 weeks-that is, for the
fiscal year ending July LIST of each of these years.
This table shows steady and gratifying progress.
Some misguided honest men and some scheming
dishonest men may stand in the way of further
progress, but we believe that they will fail and
that North Carolina will continue to go forward
until she takes a creditable position in the educa-
tional column.

Governor Aycock has been much criticized for
alleged abuse of the pardoning power, but the
official figures show that he has not been more
lenient than his predecessors. The people have
heard of pardons during his administration much
oftener than before because has made public an
nouncement of each pardon issued, thus exposing
his action to all possible publicity and criticism,
while other Governors have regarded the pardon
mill as a more nearly private institution. Gov
ernor Aycock correctly thinks that the people
have a right to know about such matters.

"There are two men in this country who are
unworthy the grand and glorious name OF Amerl-
can citizen. One is the man who is unwilling to
contribute his just and fair proportion towards
a proper and economical support of his govern
ment, and the other is the man who will willingly
submit 80 the e~xaction of an unequal and unjust
proportion for the support of his government"
This was the concluding sentence in the manu-
script copy of a speech by Col. l.. L. Polk, which
we found among some old papers last week. The
thought is a striking one, and as sound as it is

The States Most Important Resource Is It's People.
We have often reminded ourselves and informed
other people that we have incalculable undevelop-
ed resources in North Carolina, our streams, our
forests, cur mines, our quarries, our soil-that
Nature has done for us her handiwork with her
most gracious bounty; so that our undeveloped
resources invite men under the pleasantest con-
ditions t. productive industry. And so they do.
But there is one undeveloped resource more
valuable than all these, and that is the people
themselves. It is about the development of men
that I alall speak, more particularly about the
development of the forgotten and neglected
men.
In making an estimate of a civilization it is the
neglected and forgotten man more than any other
that must be taken into account. When you build
a house, you make the foundation the strongest
part Of it. and the house, however ornate its ar
chitecturc, can be no stronger than the founda-
ton. In considering the level Of the life of any
community, you must not give undue value to
any class Of men. A community is not rich be-
cause it contains a few rich men, it is not health
full because it contains a few strong men, it is not
intelligent because it contains a few men of learn
in, nor s it of good morals because it contains
good women-if the rest of the population also
be not well-to-do, or h~ealthful, or intelligent or of
good morals. The class that we sometimes call
the common people is the class most to be con
sidered IN the structure of civilization. More
over in proportion as any community in the or
ganization of it's society or in the development
of it's institutions lays emphasis on its few rich
men, or its few cultivated men, it is likely to for
get and to neglect the foundations of it's health.
It is not these small classes that really make the
community what it is, that determine the condi-
tion of its health, the soundness of it's social
structure, its economic value and its level of life.
are measured at last by the condition Of It's
weakest part.
So much, if you please, to get the proper point
of view. If you have been in the habit, in your
social studies, consciously, of dividing men into
classes and of considering some more important
in possibilities to the common veal than others,
your studies are not in keeping with the dominant
democracy of our country, and of our race. In
any scheme of man-culture one man must be re-
garded Of as great Importance as another. The
doctrine of equality of opportunity is at the bot
tom of social progress, for you can never judge
a mans capacity except as he was opportunity to
develop it.-From DIR. Walter II. Pages essay,
