SOUTHERN
EDUCATION
THE EDUCATIONAL REVIVAL.
An Awakening Needed in Our Coun-
try SchOOIs-Things the PeO-
pie Should Demand.

There is being awakened a wide
spreadinterest in education. Through
out the country the attention of the
people is being called to this great
matter. The condition of our schools,
both secular and UNCONVENTIONAL, is
being looked carefully into, and large
plans for their improvement are being
projected. Specially do the schools
in the rural regions call for immedia-
ate and thoughtful attention. Our
scheme of public school education in
the country, in many places,is scarce
ly worthy the name, and are hardly
more than excuses for schools. With
miserable houses, only the most sim
pie and crude apparatus, poorly
equipped teachers, only a few months
in session, and with inadequate direc-
ton and superintendent, it is quite
impossible to have such schools as
the times demand.
1t is high time our people were
moved in this matter. Public schools
have come to stay, and they must be
made adequate to the great work
committed to them. The best men in
the country should be made superin-
tendents and school commissioners,
and should give themselves with great
seriousness and industry to the
charge of the duties of this Office.
The best men in the community
should deem it an honor to be per-
mitted to serve on the school board.
Fewer and better houses should be
secured, trained and mature teachers
employed, and more months occu-
pied.
These things our people should de-
mand, and continue to demand until
they are secured. Let it be under
stood that our schools are not sim
ply to furnish employment to the ia
vorite daughters of a neighborhood,
but a place for honest and hard work
on the part of men and women that
have been highly and thoroughly
trained for their life work. Let our
people be stirred to serious thought
and action in these things, and not
take it for granted that things are
bound TO remain as they are. Speak
out in meeting whenever things are
not what they ought to be. 1t is the
right of an honest taxpayer to get
the best for his money, and nowhere
is it so important to get the best as
in our public schools.-Baptist I'm
ion.

Education and Training.

A human being wants a whole de-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of himself. In
school he hopes to gain the essential
basis for and an impetus toward this
whole development. But he also wants
a particular development. One may
prefer to teach or preach or sing or
practice law or practice medicine or
keep books or be a mechanic or con-
duct a factory. And he expects vari-
Gus schools to prepare him accord
ingly.
Now this specialization is very we'll.
But one must not neglect the general
development for the special develop
ment. If he mistakes the develop
ment of his talents for the practice
of medicine for education, he will
lack just that of becoming the man
he might become. If he fancies that
special preparation for the ministry
will stand him instead of general
preparation to live his life to the
fullest, he will fail of his life and of
his calling. In a word, there is no
price so dear as that which one pays
when he sacrifices education for mere
training-the man for the TALENT

STUDY OF EARTHQUAKES.
Various Instruments Have Been In
vented for Automatic Records
of Movements.

In a paper on Earthquakes and Vol
canoes in Century. Mr.. James F. Kemp,
professor of geology in Columbia uni
versity, writes as follows of this pro-
gressive department of science:
Earthquakes come suddenly, and
people are apt to be so agitated as to
be poor observers. They are unable
to determine the directions and in
tensities of the motions. Various in
struments have therefore been in
vented to accomplish this. The sim
pier ones consist of series of cylin-
ders or blocks in rows at right an
giles to each other, which, having bases
of different sizes, will be upset by
shocks of different intensity, and by
the direction of their fall in bed of
Liquids, especially quicksilver, in ba-
sins with holes at various heights
will wash up and down in particular
directions, will spill through particu-
lar holes, and thus give indica tions.
Pendulums may be set swinging in diff
ferent planes, and so on; one may read
lily apprehend the scope of these de-
vices.
''In 4 more serious attempt the great
objects are to obtain first records of
motion in three planes at right angles
to one another; second records of the
intensity of the shock, and, third, of
the exact time of beginning and clos
ing. If one or more instruments can
be constructed having a heavy weight
so supported that it will remain rela-
lively unmoved while recording plates
rub against its projecting pencils, and
if it is connected with a clock by some
electric or other attachment, all the
main objects may be approximately OBJ
tanned. These are general principles
of seismographs; and by heavy pen
dulums, by inverted pendulums, by
brackets at right angles, and by in
genious record-diagrams which them
selves may move by clockwork very
good data may have been secured.
They all show that the movements of
any particle of the earth are exceed
ingly complex and difficult to follow.
There was no automatic seismo-
graph in eastern North America at the
close of the Charleston shock, but since
then a number have been esta blished.
Earthquakes have been especially
studied in japan and Italy. In the
former country there is a seismolcg-
zeal society, with proceedings which
now FIJI several volumes"

EDUCATIONAL ENTHUSIASM,
The Educational Spirit of the South
is Becoming Aroused to IA
Healthy Pitch.

The south is punctuated all over at
this season with educational meet
fngs, conventions of teachers. insti-
tutes, Cbautauquas and summer nor
mails, where thousands of our teach
ers are assembled and eagerly pursu-
ing studies in the great art to which
they are devoted. The reports indi-
cate that exceptional enthusiasm is
manifest among these educators, and
that valuable knowledge and inspira-
tions are being absorbed by them
from erudite and progressive lectur-
ers. That sort of enthusiasm, well
directed, can not but confer great
benefits upon the educational work
of the south. Most of the teachers
are engaged in primary instruction,
and are the products of the homes
of the people who have felt the first
fervor for popular instruc tion and
trained the first fruits of the family
for that work. These young people
carry back from their summer schools
and conventions the best thoughts
and zeal for the best methods that
are given them from the most COM
petent authorities. And thus the
public mind of the south is being
yearly better informed and more
earnestly affected for widespread and
practical popular education. In due
time the results will appear in legis-
lation, our schools will be extended
and perfected ungrudgingly, and the
repulsive blot of abnormal illiteracy
will be forever erased from the rec
ords of southern citizenship. The
Constitution rejoices in the prospect
to that result opened up by the la
bors and enthusiasm of all these
southern educational assemblies.-At-
lanta Constitution.

LAUNDERING COURTESY.
The ObIiging Young Man Had Hair
on His Head and Could Spare
His Hat,

Excessive kindliness of heart, when al
he'd to laundering courtesy, Is occasionally
productive of an amusing incident. Of such
is the following: A president in recent
times Of one of our royal colleges was noted
for the possession OF trim little yacht,
which he was fond of sailing in one Of the
reaches of the River Thames, says the Can
did Friend. One day the president had the
misfortune to capsize his craft, with the
consequent result of complete immersion
He was Immediately assisted ashore and
a change of clothing provided at an adjacent
boathouse. This, however, did not include
hat of any description. The president,
who is an old man and correspondihgly bald,
stood shivering, his scant hair uneomforta-
bly, stirred by the breeze. His plight was
observed with respectful compassion by one
of the students of the college who had wit
messed the catastrophe, and offered his own
headgear. The president, however, seemed
reluctant to accept it, saying: IF I take
yours, what will you do?" Ooh, sir" said
the student, at doesn't matter for me. I've
got hair on my head" This statement was
accepted as final by the president, together
with the cap, and ne laughed heartily at
what, after all, was not wholly oneSided
joke, for the CONSERVATION of the student
may be better imagined than described.
