THE SOUTH WAKING UP.
The Gravity of the Educational
Problem is Gradually Being
Realized In the South.

Signs multiply daily that the south
is awake to the tremendous problem
that lies at her doors, the problem of
educating all citizens, white as well
as black and back as well as white.
Not only does the south appreciate
the gravity of the situation, but she
has already gone about work ener-
getically and wisely to meet it. At
present many of the southern states
keep their common schOc Is open only
three months in the year, and those
that average five or six months
year regard themselves as extraordi-
narily fortunate.
The causes for these conditions a'e
few but potent. The two most
powerful ones have been poverty and
a lack of public opinion sufficient to
bring about n change. The first is
being slowly overcome, and the
second is almost alro ady entirely OBJ
waited. The poverty that oppressed
the south at the close of the war was
all but overwhelming. But the Ameri-
can grit OF the south has told, and
already new era of prosperity, built
upon more enduring foundation than
the olu, has dawned. More money
was invested last year in industrial
enterprises in the southern states
than in all the twenty years preced-
ing, and much of it was southern
capital. Within the next decade the
south will be able to pay more for Ter
schools, and the encouraging feature
is that she has made up heT mind to
do it.
1t is importar that thoce who are
not able to OBSERVE at first hand the
difficulties surrounding education in
the south should be brought to under
stand them. These are in many ways
very great, but the leaders of affairs
in the south have taken Up the task
in a determined manner, and there
can be little doubt that they will per-
form it. They must be left to solve
it in their own way. They best I'M
derstand the conditions, and to them
must be left the choice of the ways
and means. The rest of the country
may be assured that the south means
to do its educational duty by the ne
gro. At the same time the north
ought to realize th1t part of the
problem is of its own making, and to
aid in its solution in such ways as
may be acceptable to those at whose
doors the work itself ies.-New York

EDUCATION !
ATTENDANCE AND INTEREST.
Increased Attendance mt school Can
be Secured by Increasi the
Interest In Studies.

Enforced attendance without in
terest will make the school failure.
The people cannot be interested to
send their children to school in the
country districts more than five
months in the We +. This they can
do without undue sacrifice or the neg
lect of training their children to
work, which is no. small p;-rt of
proper education. We need strong
school districts. better school houses,
and they more thoroughly equipped
with well qualified and energetic
teachers ,and.most of 1.-The interest
ed attendance of the pupils.
The mony can be easily provided
to do these things so far as it can go.
Intelligent school officials. devoted to
the education of the children more
than grinding axes, can accomplish
much o. the remainder. While many
parents are very Indifferent as to the
education of their children, j do not
believe they want them to be ignorant
any more than they want them to be
vicious and wicked. AS the sinner
needs to be aroused to consider his
sinfulness and lost condition, these
need to be arou- ed to consider the
results of ignorance and their re-
sponsibility for the education of their
children. L believe that an annual
township education rally, mass
meeting or picnic, supervised by the
township and district officials, can
be held to a very great advantage.
Make the day one of pleasantness,
showing the beauty of true culture
and education, and let every effort
possible be made to interest and
not let them be worried to death with
long-winded theoretical speeches by
some one who just wishes to air him
self. The officials can generally Sc
lect some man who has the conf
dence of the people and can WELD
an influence over them to speak to
them on the occasion. The speaker
should be one who can not reasonably
be suspected of having any selfish
motive. but one who speaks from his
love for humanity and the cause
of education.
Then this must be followed by a

A shrewd Yankee horsetrader, after years

A Surprised Physician.

terpositIon OF humble German.
Chicago, Nov 10.
Some weeks ago DR.. C., a very reput-
able and widely-known physician, living on
c. Street, was called to attend very
complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon
arriving at the house be found a man about
forty years of age, lying in Frustrated and
serious condition, with his whole. frame
dangerously affected with the painful dis
ease. He prescribed for the patient, but
the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in a
very alarming condition. The knees and ell
bows and larger joints were greatly in
famed, and could not be moved. 1T was
only with extreme difficulty that the pa
tiant could be turned in bed, with the aid
of three or four persons. The weight OF
the clothing was so painful that means had
to be adopted to keep it from the patient S
body.
The doctor saw that his assistance would
be of no avail, and left the house, the MEM
bers of the family following him to the
door, weeping. Almost Immediately the
grief-stricken ones were addressed by an
humble German. He had heard of the
despair of the family, and now asked them
to try his remedy, and accordingly brought
forth a bottle of st. Jacobs Oil. The poor
wife applied this remedy. The first appli-
cation eased the patient very much; after
a few hours they used it again, and, won
der of wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improved the
patient. and in two days he well and
out. When the doctor called a few days
after, he was indeed surprised.

Depopu1ating the Country.

Nearly all of our boys and girls
have to leave the country in order to
fit themselves for anything of use or
enterprise. They have to go to the
city to fit. and afterward they do not,
of course, desire to return to the
country lie which has no place pre-
pared to receive them. Those who
do not go to the city thus to fit
themselves for higher things go as
unskilled laborers. There are not in
the country many of the former-day

humber mechanical occupations,

ON ITS OWN MERITS.

A young man who spent his summer vaca-

selves upon his attention, relates Youth 8
Companion.
One day wagon load of unexpected rela-
tives descended on the farm, and the mis-
tress was, as she afterward frankly said,
put to it, TO provide enough food for din
ner. She brought forward among other
things an apple pie, which seemed to the
boarGer far inferior to the pies she usually
made. But when she served it she spoke OF
her reputation as a piemaker.

marked, with beaming smile; "and apple
pies are what you might call my specially.

The pie disappeared and then, when her
guests were not as hungry as they had been,
She brought forth a second pie, flaky of
crust and luscious to the taste.

of the party, a boy of y, Il think this pie 5
