RURAL SCHOOL REFORM.
How Country Teachers Should Be Ed
ucated to Be Successful in
Their Work

There has been great deal of talk
lately in regard to the teaching of
agriculture and horticulture in the
rural schools. Doubtless great good
could be accomplished in this way if
there were teachers qualified for the
work. But the so-called normal
schools turn out too many drilled
automata and do little in the real
teaching of nature. If the country
school-teachers could all be given a
short course in agriculture and hOrti-
culture at the state colleges of agr1-
culture we might after awhile have
men and women prepared to take up
the work in an elementary way IN the
rural schools. But as the short
courses at these colleges mostly come
in the winter months, when the teach
ers are employed, there arises need
for summer schools for this purpose.
These might be made strong force
in the progress OF nature teaching.
With teachers enthused for the work,
there would soon come some appllca-
ton of what they have learned in the
planting and identifying of the school
grounds. There is nothing like the
actual work in planting trees and
flowers and caring for them to make
children fond of nature and her prod
ucts, and there is nothing better cal
culated to drive the young people
from the farm than the comfortless
and ugly schoolhouses and their ill
n ,&f h N1lr lfr
people interested in plant life will
then be apt to draw them to the farm
ers' Institutes, and the institutes will
never accomplish what they should in
the education of the farmer till they
catch him young enough.-Practical

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, March 1.-THE cotton
market opened firm, with prices to
points higher and later further ad-
vanced on vigorous demand from sew
eral prominent houses which led Sat
urday's selling. Wall street support
and light European demand helped to
strengthen the market here. But as
the session wore along it became clear
to all that commission houses were re-
ceiving very few buying orders. In
fact, profit taking with them was pop
ular, chiefly in July contracts. Pros
pect of light port receipts, materially
firmed Liverpool cables than anticipa ted
and authoritative news that the Fall
River mill owners had granted the de-
mands of spinners for an advance of
10 per cent in wages in FULL added to
the early strength. Large estimates
for to-morrow's New Orleans and
Houston receipts helped to check buy
ing toward midday
Business dragged heavily much Of
the afternoon and the sole feature of
operations were straddles, purchases of
May being made against sales of July.
At the close the market was quiet and
steady with prices net to points
higher. Total sales were estimated at
1851 900 bales.

the day Manchester cables say that
during the past week irregularity was
noticeable where actual business was
in question. The China trade was
small. There was plenty of inquiry
from India for fabrics, but this rarely
led to anything. The political trou-
bles in South America and uncertain
ties in Central America also exerted
a depressing influence on the market.

d. The feature of interest in to-days
o,arl<ets was an advance in spirits of
.nrnentine which carried the price at
the closing to 4512c, at which the mar
ret was firm. While there was not a
Great deal of business being transacted
and the rise was by some laid to ma
,,ir,1lation. it is nevertheless true that
+he statistical position of the article is
strong, with every condition bearing
mon the market favorable to a further
rise.
What seems to be very pronounced
hill factor at the moment is the wet
weather throughout practically the en-
fire of the naval stores country, which
has resulted in an interruption to rail-
road traffic, which is expected to af-
feet the receipts very materially at an
carly day. ON some of the roads traffic
is completely tied up. Not only this,
hut the wet weather and floods in some
sections has brought about a complete
stop to operations in the woods. With
q decrease in the receipts, which have
been abnormally small all along, the
effect upon the market will be very
marked. Resins closed firm, with the
demand fair, but little business being
transacted.
The cotton market did not show
much anima tion to-day. While there
was some trading in New York, it was
reported as being largely of profess
sonal character, with commission
houses doing little direct business with
the country. Liquidation was also in
evidence. When this was finished,
however, the market steadied and
again began it's upward climb, closing
steady at an advance of to 8 points.
The movement helped the market, the
ports getting $4,000 against $4,000 last
year owing to the floods in many sec
tons of the cotton country a further
decrease in the receipts is looked for,
and in anticipation of this some buying
developed at New York. The Savannah
spot market closed steady and I'M
changed from Saturdays prices. The
following is d resume of the days mar
kets:
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-03-18

New York, March 1.-THE upward
movement in cotton was resumed this
morning and prices showed 4 to
points advance. Gables were unchanged
when we opened and the receipts
promised to keep within $4,000 at ports
while the settlement of the threatened
strike at Fall River all combined TO
scare shorts and bring in new buyers.
The only unsatisfactory feature was
the small business doing which APP
peared to be inconsistent with the very
good start in prices Accounts of spot
cotton being grabbed everywhere were
too numerous to be ignored and the
bear forces were quite unprepared to
assume q defiant with sentiment so
decidedly in favor of a much higher
market. Bulls, were holding on and
shorts were covering after the opening
causing still further gains but there
was fear of renewed profit taking. At
ter the market had advanced 10 to II
points profit taking resulted in 3 to 4
decline when Wall street appeared as
a buyer. Reports coming in from Tex
as indicate that the big rains of last
week covered a large area and were
very beneficial IN most instances, but
lack of moisture is still complained of
in many sections of the state. Govern
mcnt advices to-day indicated that the
extremely cold weather of Saturday in
the Northwest reached the Southwest
yesterday and temperatures this
morning were down to the freezing
point at Fort Smith and other points.
Charleston had a rain of 2.35 inches
The highest tempera ture was at
Charleston and Savannah. Interior
shipments were again far in excess of
receipts, especially at Little Rock,
where they were quadrupled. Frost
was forecasted for the entire cotton
belt tonight. New Orleans expects to-
morrow 10,500 to 1880 against 9,46S;
Houston 1890 to $500 against S,056.
