Teachers in Alabama.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Your very sensible and forceful edito-
 rial comment on the dearth of teachers
 in Alabama and in the South. published
 some days ago. has been read with inter est by many of the teachers of the State.
 No doubt, most of us agree with the ideas pou advance. either on the whole or in part. We wish. with your permission. to add a thought or two.
 That there. is a dearth of earnest. com potent teachers no sensible, well inform proverb misquoted, ''Magister nascitur | non fit," be entirely true, then this dearth | of teachers must continue, or some pro- cess be discovered for finding and rescu- 1 ing the born teachers who are allured | to other professions and callings. Indeed. this scarcity of teachers must continue until teaching Is made. as 1t de- serves to be made, a profession. in much the same sense as msdicine. or law, or
 theology. The professions have been lik- ened by one eminent American teacher to a camp. whither only those who have | the countersign can enter Liberal edu- cation is, or should be, the common pos
 session of all the professions, and even of the artisans Technical education a | body of knowledge difficult of attainment | and specific in character. is the posses
 sion of the professional man. It Is the | countersign that admits him to the camp l of the practitioners of medicine or oi | law.
 Now. when teaching is made an honored
 profession-honoreda as much as 1t is al- ready honorable-then the dearth of com petent teachers will begin to be dimin- | ished. We cannot admit that the grade | of the license-the writer holds a frs | grade certifcate-determines the grade of | the teacher. Every experienced teacher | knows many third grade teachers who | hold first grade licenses and some first | grade teachers who hold third grade H. | censes In fact we have never been able
 to see why teachers should be required 1 to submit to more than one final. severe | test, after which. they should stand or | fall on their merits. as do lawyers and | doctors and the like. There are first
 second, third. and even lower grade law
 yers in Alabama today. all of whom were | admitted to practice after having passed l the same examination.
 | As the marks of the professional teach. 1 CT. such eminent authorities as Page | Compayre. and Payne lay down the fol | lowing: d.) Scholarship-the possession l of q body of knowledge to teach; e ! Methods-the ability to manipulate skill | fully the arts of instructions (3) Science ! the science of education whereby thu

To these We would add the Spirit of the Teacher. including | CD the Professional Spirit. which includes | pride in the profession. professional anC 1 daily preparation for duties to be per ! formed and the cultivation and foster 1 ine of high morals: e Culture; and tS) | Philanthropy true teacher must be {

Got His Full Price.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
 Charles T. Copeland. instructor in Eng fish at Harvard, is known to every Har- yard man of the last few student genera tions and to a good many audiences around Boston. His chief speciality is reading the works of Kipling and the eighteenth century authors aloud and commenting on them in his own peculiar fashion One of his chief eccentricities is an enormous sponge. which always hangs outside from his window in Stoughton. But this story deals neither with Kipling nor the sponge It is of MT. Copeland's s first adventure with womans club.
 Some time ago he published an essay on Robert Louis Stevenson. which was widely read. As a result the President of the woman's club in Somerville, the next city to Cambridge, wrote him a let ter inviting him to lecture to the club on Stevenson. He sent no reply. The President wrote again. He replied to the second letter. l. was not his custom, he said. to lecture before womens clubs, but if the Somerville organization would pay him his full price. $25. he would come.
 The President was equal to the occa- sion She replied very sweetly, setting the date for the lecture. ''We shall be very happy to pay you your full price, $25.' she wrote. We have always been in the habit of paying our lecturers $50"

Thinks America No Place for
 . Gentleman.
 William Waldorf Astor's Pail Mall Ga- Bette publishes 6 letter from its New York correspondent which in its way is quite entertaining, says the London cor respondent of The New York Herald. The correspondent says:
 At the present moment, 1t is by no means a foregone conclusion that White. law Reid will be accredited as special ambassador from this country. The out cry against his officially representing this country is go great that would not be surprised to find the President eventually backing down on this point
 The truth Is, MT. Roosevelt is expect ing reelection, and the votes have to be considered. In this way even the Presi- dent can not always obey the innate promptings of gentleman in extending of the studies of a republic. It Is to be neither praised nor blamed. but simply understood.
 Edftors here suggest, and they ought to know, that there Is no need of a gen. tleman in this country and they are cer- tainly interpreted to the public as a lot of embroidered dancing aimless fops, who have no necessary place in a land where every one is expected to work for his liv- ing That Is moro or less true. for politics is closed to a man who will not seek votes in the Irish slums, and 1t Is not easy to sec why people of independent means re- main here.
 America 6 intensely interesting and as an industrial and inventive center it's educational advancement is doubtless a ! necessity in the general improvement of the world.
 Tt is good place for any man who has to make a living. I would be the last to say a word against 1t in any way. though why travelled people bf independ- ent means should remain more than a week in this country is not readily to be comprehended.'

attained or even approached as long as Alabama's teachers are as meagrely paid as they are today. Unless by unusual good fortune, no man comes into possess sion of a fine farm or a desirable business without paying high price. If Ala bama would have earnest. competent them. A low priced teacher, like low priced goods is seldom, if ever. cheap. But we are told that Alabama is now doing about all she can. Let us hear the conclusion fo the whole matter. We need one final. severe examination for profcs- sional teachers. If we would have these. stitution; extend the right of local taxa ton to counties, cities towns. and dis tricts. make openings for first grade pro fessional teachers. and let the thtrd grade. incompetent, unprofessional teachers be employed bv those who cannot. or will not, help themselves.

They Did Not Cheer.

Leslies Weekly.
 President Mckinley was always fond of children and during the latter years of his life was accustomed to have young people about him in his home in Can ton whenever he was there, His return trip from the Pacific Coast was marked by an incident which touchd him deeply.
 Early one morning the train stopped for water at q little place in Nevada. There was nothing there but the station, water tank and A few shanties. The President, as was his custom, had arisen before the other members of his party. Step ping out on the rear platform of his car. he found a group of small children, flags in hand, waiting to cheer him.
 A boy approached him and said, Are YOU the Presddent?'
 "Yes I'm the President. Good morning How do you do?" was the answer.
 "Is Mrs. President with you?" came the query.
 ''Yes, but I regret that she is ill.'
 "Oh, that's too badr replied the spokes- man. "Then We mustn't holler. must we?''
 The President said. Mrs. Mckinley is there where those shades are drawn. II The httle group walked silently to the windows and stood there waving their little flags as the train resumed its Journey eastward. but not one of them | gave a single cheer, not one uttered q aoun1

TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 1902,
4 rnnIERs, CONVENTION.

The Manchester CN. H.) Union, alluding to the Fiddlers' Convention to be held in Decatur during the present month says: The New York papers will not send down their musical critics, yet the contest will be no ordinary musical event The Jan Kubeliks are barred, and only the good old-fashioned native fddlers who have helped to make the wedding festive and the country dance joyous these fifty years in the rural southland will be heard.
 That convention is to be just what its name indicates. There are not to be any ''violinists'' or artists there, but just plain old fashioned fiddlers. Some will be there who never saw a musical note, never heard a ''virtuoso' play, and and a microbe, but they will make genuine music. They may not have long and slender fingers nor long and tangled hair, but their hair will cover brains attuned to music and their fingers will make sweet melody. It is possible or sven probable, that in the assemblage will be some rough looking country man with fiddle that would hardly bring one dollar at auction, but the man and the instrument will touch the hearts in a manner that Kubelik with genuine Strad could not do.
 Oh. yes, therc will be fiddles and fid- alers. and they will bring out tunes which made the eyes flash and the fee, jingle of the lads and lassies whose heads are now gray and whose limbs eould never compass the intricacies of 8 reel or follow the demands of jig. Ano ss the fiddlers play the old tunes many Rn aged man and woman will close thei, eyes and their memories will wander back half century or more, and they will again find themselves in some ole country home. possibly built of logs, anc they will see the bright faces and spark ling eyes of their boon companions of tht long ago, and as their ears hear the wei remembered strains of Money Musk, Billy in the Low Grounds" and the like the ears of memory will delude them into the belief that two or three-score year: have fallen from them and they are agair listening to music not taught by teacher. and watching movements not laid dowr in the books.
 Long live the old fiddlers. May the time never come when there will be none whc play as nature and their own musica instincts taught them. and may ther, always remain some old fiddles in tn, land and some old fiddlers to draw tn, bow across their quivering. harmony loaded strings.

SAVINGS BANKS GROWTH.
There are Now 6,4Oo, ,oo0 Depositors
 in These Institutions.


 New York Sun.
 In the aggregate wealth and the indi- vtdual rsources of the people of the United States, in enlarged foreign mar kets for American goods and cereals, in building operations. in the extension of railroad mileage. in bank clearances and all items of Commerce there has been an enormous increase in the United States in the past six years, but in no other re- spect perhaps has the countrys growth in wealth been so conspicuously shown as the increase in the number of savings bank depositors and of their aggregate de- posits.
 Five years ago there were 5,200. 900 saw ings bank depositors in the United States; now there are 640o, 900, an increase of l. 20o,0oo, or at the rate of nearly quarter of a million year.
 Five years ago the amount on deposit in the savings banks of the United States was 1.940. .000, ,000 it is now s2.640. 100000, an increase of $7OO.ooo0OO In five years. or the rate of $40 0000. 900 a year.
 The State of New York has, of course the largest number of savings bank de positors, but in comparison with the total population Massachusetts is ahead of it New York has 2,100,000 depositors; Mas sachusetts has 1.5ooooo.
 Connecticut, a very small State, has 100000 savings bank depositors, 5o,00t more than Pennsylvania, one of the larg- est and most prosperous of the States but one in which, for some reason. not much favor is given to this form of in. vestment.
 Illinois has 260,00o savings bank deposi. tors and Iowa POS, 900. but Indiana has only 2.o00 and Wisconsin only 3.50o. Among Southern States. South Carolina stands first in the number of its savings bank depositors. the increase having beer very marked since South Carolina em. parked in the line of manufacture. There are relatively very few savings bank de, positors in Texas. and an unusually large number in Maryland for SO small State Maine has a very large, and West Vir' ginia a very small number and New Jersey, with population of 1.1s3,ooo. ha. more than 100000 savings banks deposi,

Letters to The Editor.
It Was April 1st, 1886.

Editor The Advertiser:
 There is query here as to the date of heavy rain and high water in 1886. l sub init the same to you for adjudication and report on same.
 This has been a very similar day to the date of greatest destruction by water and swollen streams in the history of Chiffon County. Some say the date was 27th, others 2S, but I insist it was Slst of March, 1886. yet will leave 1t to Grand una to say. Few of our farmers had be- gun to plant corn, while a few have not even run the first furrow in their crops, and today it is conceded on all sides the man who has not plowed any is best on If well equipped to do so as soon as good weather opens.
 In your report of s6 flood. please give days of week, etc.. as the highest water in Chiffon and all upper counties was Monday, and I am sure was March sl.
 Yours truly.
 F. A. Gulledge, tThe Advertiser can only give date of the greatest height of water here, which was April 1. 1886. when 1t reached 5s7 feet)

Hanna is not a candidate for Presi- dent. flor he himself has said it. and we have really no right to believe that Mark would state anything but the exact truth. Besides. it is almost two years until the nominating convention. and Hanna knows that booms, like flowers, which come forth too early are often nipped by the frost. There Is ample time for him to prepare to get into the game. and as he is one of the shrewdest politi- cal workers in the country he can employ his time laying the wires and setting the pegs which will result in his nomina- tion. Hanna isn't candidate, at present, but just wait.

a primary to settle it's next nomination. Why is not a Democratic primary the thing for the whole State. If it is good for shs big cities. for so many counties. for . Black Belt District?
 Finally, The Advertiser favors Demo- cratic primary as a matter of expediency. Ex-Governor Johnston and his hungry cabal of petty leaders are hunting for rock upon which to wreck the Democratic ship. They tried the anti-Constitution bugbear and failed. As the Democratic registrars are putting every white man fin the State on the books, just as the Democratic Party pledged, Johnston and his aides see that the bottom is dropped out of that issue. So they have raised the appeal for "a white primary" as a means of creating strife. They expect the State Committee to refuse to order what they want. Then they plan to go before the people and raise another howl about
 white men being cheated, about the Black Belt bossing the State, about cor rupt conventions. They remember Kolo's martial success in that sort of agitation.
 and they hope to split the Democratic
 Party with another bolt from State Convention and with an independent so- called Democratic State ticket. That IS the Johnston game, if The Advertiser is not mistaken.
 Is 1t not, then, the part of wisdom. or l foresight. of expediency. to anticipate the Johnston game? Why not knock this plan in the head, just as the Party has knocked out his mathematician strife! He has never bofore advocated primaries
 He prevented one in his own county be-
 tween himself and Clarke in 1896. He has always been an adept in manipulating | conventions, county and State. He has
 frequently boasted of his success in this
 respect. We do not believe he is sincere now. It looks like he Is playing blufi game. The Advertiser coJnsels that hii hand be called. Give him the Demo- cratic primary he don't really want. Cut | the ground from under him. Take away
 the opportunity of organizing Q bolt from | a State Convention. Cut of an indepen- dent movement like that of Kolb and other leaders in other Southern States or similar pretexts.
