EDUCATION THAT EDUcATEs.
Our Schools Should Teach Subjects Adapted to the Needs and
 Aptitude of tbe Child

The improvement of our country schools Is the foundation stone of agricultural progress, and other foundation no man ca1 lay. This is not theory. but fact proved by statistics. Wherever the per- centage of illiteracy is highest, there are the profits of farming smallest. And for Il reason not far to seek-there has least progress been made in the introduction of improved and scientific methods.
 We may live out our lives dreaming dreams about the good work that might be done by our agricultural colleges, ex- pertinent stations, and farm papers, says the Progressive Farmer, but all this dreaming IS a snare and delusion unless We realize that before the college or pa- per will be appreciated, must come the public school, teaching the people to read and understand just as surely as the foundation stone must be laid before the rest of the structure is worth considering
 We have lately made progress in the matter of public education, but much work yet remains to be done. And since such a large per cent of these pupils of the country school are to take up farm ing as a life work, it is not unreasonable to demand that in them the principles of agriculture be taught. We do teach these boys much about banking, selling and buying bonds. discounting, foreign exchange, etc.. things with which not one in ten has anythin0 to do in after life. Why then should 1t be thought strange when one dares suggest that 1t would be better to teach them something of plant growth, animal life, plant and animal feeding, etc. subjects that would be equally useful in training the mind and would be of continual benefit to the larger part of them in their life work?
 Let the farm boy learn little less of foreign exchange and Greek history, if need be, but teach him at the outset that farming is mot drudgery, but an intellec- pays handsome returns for intelligent. scientific care and management

A Chapter on the Jipijapa.

Nashville American.
 Is ''Jipijapa" the proper name for Pan anna hat in The Pensacola Journal tlia- lect? If 1t is. we don't wear 'em.-Mont- gomery Advertiser.
 Very well, then; corfine yourself to tho base imitation made Of inoleum .JtpiJapa is the common name for thc Panama hat and other Southern countries. 1t is pro- nounced Heepy -hapa, as the in Spanish has the sound of h. The Panama hat is made in Ecuador The first one was made in Manavi province nearly three hundred years ago, and such hats were long known as Manavi hats and they still bear that name in some sections They came to be known aS Panama hats years ago when the city of Panama was the distributing center for Guch articles At present Panama hats are made chiefly in Mcnte Christi and Jipi1apa in the province of Manavi, and in Santo Elena and Cuenca in the province or Guayas ana Aguay, Ecuador. The Jipi1apa or Man avi or Panama is made Of native grass or species of cane which is cultivated In the provinces of Manavi 'Mahn-ah-Nee) and GuaNas and is known as 'paJa to- Quila." It is fanlike in shape and re sembles the saw palmetto which the edi- tor of The MontsOr1eTy Advertiser has doubtless often seen. The paJa toquiila Is planted in low, wet land in rows dur ing the rainy season, and when it reaches height of four or five rect ana Just De- fore it is ripe. 1t is cut, boiled in water and thoroughly sun-dred.

Is an art The plating begins in the cen- ter of the crown and is continued in cir cular form until finished. The hat is then washed in clean, cold water, coated with thin solution of gum and polished with dry powdered sulphur. The plating is done in a humid atmosphere, the plait- CTS usually working from about mid- night until about seven in the wcrning. when the air Is always damp in that country. It requires from three to five months of such labor to make one of the finest Panama hats, the finest sight and skill being required. This long and tedi- ous labor is the reason of the high price of the best grade of hats. One of these hats can be rolled up without injury to it and carried in the pocket. It will last for years and can be repeatedly cleaned. Many Pana mas, however, are ruined by ignorant efforts to clean them. The best way to have Panama cleaned is to car- ry it to a hattef~--aIid have him send it to New Orleans or Baltimore or New York to be cleaned by those who know how to do the work without rulning the hat.
 Cheap Panamas are made from raw, undressed straw usually by children, one of whom can plait a common hat in one Gay. They are sold by the makers as low as g q dozen The better grade of Panamas range in price from $i0 to $100. The makers have little ingenuity In de- signing shapes and most of the hats have undesirable shapes. Furnished q model, however. the men and women who plait and shape the hats can make any shape of hat desired. Panamas are of different shades of white and light brown.

Snntharn Education.
Nashville Daily News.

NaShV1lle Daily NeWs.
 The Southern Education Board of which Robert c. Ogden of New York is presi- dent; Charles D. McIver of Greensboro, N. C., secretary, and George Foster Pea body of New York, treasurer, is sending out an interesting series of circulars rela- tive to it's work The first recites the his tory of the organization of the board and indicates the principles upon which it was formed. In stating these principles the first circular says:
 First-Thc results accomplished by Southern people since the war are recog- nized as worthy of all praise Such a movement as this might well apply to all parts of America. It is needed in the South only because the South had its all swept away in the war between the States. is largely rural in character, and has two races to develop. It is because the white man in the South has the ne- gro to educate and care for that he de- serves both sympathy and assistance. This board asks to be allowed the privi- lege of helping little to do what is really the duty of the whole American people:
 Second-The white men in the South must be trusted to do all justice to all classes of citizens and to act wisely in the educational uplifting of all the peo- pie. Of twelve members of the board, seven are either natives or lifelong resi- dents of the Southern States The active work of the board is left entirely in the hands of the Southern men. Dr. Curry, for twenty-five years the Southern leader in education, is the supervising director and chairman of the campaign committee which controls all the work.
 Third-If the negro problem is to be set tied aright it must be settled by edu- cated. intelligent white men and not by ignorant ones. This being the case, the highest welfare of the negro lies in the better education of the whites. The so- lution of this problem is to be found in teaching the negro to work. and to be a self-respecting citizen.

High Mountain.

High Mountain, an Idyl of the Old South" by Elizabeth fleming Hanna; the Abbey Press. publishers, New York. Through Delbridge & Rice.
 Here we have a Georgia story, written by Georgia woman. The reader famil- in High Mountain that wonderful natural curiosity. Stone Mountain. d huge granite rock which rises abruptly from the plain and commands a view of the surrounding country for a radius of twenty miles.
 An appreciative reader of the story says:
 High MopCtain' is not a historical simple tale of days just before the war of quaint delightful people, whose moral standard was good If a little restricted. There are touches about it that recall Margaret Deland's village sketches. You get something of the feeling you have when you open a long-shut drawer in which something very dear had been laid Some faint rumblings of the war are heard to be sure but there is only one glimpse of a battlefield, when Arthur Weston falls and David Dean takes charge of the letter he had written to his wife on the eve of battle. There is nothing exciting or heroic about it. simple narrative of picturesque com- munity told in a quiet syhpathetic fashion. giving a picture of the old South one likes to look back upon for a quiet hour.
 Miss Hanna has been one of the fore most educators in Georgia for about twenty years, and is a woman of deep learning and great strength Of character. She has been for twelve years at odd times engaged in writing a history which she expects to bring out within d year or little more

CAN'T EXPLAIN TT AWAY.

The treatment accorded to negroes in many portions of the North is a tender subject with the newspapers of that sec- ton. They have become So accustomed to point the finger of condemnation at the South and to charge our people with various kinds of cruel and inhuman treat ment of the colored people that it al- most unhorses them to be told to look at home. It is a notorious fact that in groes afforded fair chance in the strug- gle for existence, and their papers are sometimes hard put to 1t to explain away condition not at all creditable to them. For example, The New York Commercial Eets up this plea of confession and avoid ance:
 If no negroes in or around New York are found In the building trades or in manufacturing it is primarily and chieffy because they prefer to be preachers or barbers or lawyers or servants or cab men. Nobody ever hears of their en- forced exclusion from any occupation. no matter how humble or how high if com potent to engage in it. And beyond doubt. they go or drift into what suits them best. They "get their living just as other people do here, regardless of their race, color or previous condition
 This is not at all a fair answer to the argument. It is no answer to say that the negro could get employment in the shops and factories up there if he want ed to. The fact remains that they and the whites do not work together in the industrial occupations, and The Commer- cial knows, as well as others know of the many occasions in the North and West where negroes have been driven From work and forcibly prevented from engaging in almost any kind of manual labor. AS The Chattanooga Times ex- presses it. "the negro is not out of all such lines of work up there, by accident, but because he long since ascertained that he could not pursue mechanic g calling in the North" It is useless for The Commercial to try to argue away known facts or to explain away unpala- table truths. It would better admit their existence and try to remedy the evil, If st can.

NOT A CHARITY.

In speaking of the purposes of the Ed ucation Board, The Worlds Work says:
 The aim of the Board is not "mis- sionary" aim. It is broadly patriotic. It will do it's work in a practical way-its personnel is guarantee of that-with- out fads or tn Aories, without sectional feeling. race prejudice or any aim except the building up of the neglected masses of our population. It is organized on a broader basis than any body was ever before organized for such purpose; and it's personnel includes men of Northern birth and men of Southern birth. It Is not unlikely that this Board may exert the strongest force in aid of popular ed ucation that has ever been brought to bear on public opinion. It ought to re- ceive a larger fund than any Board has ever had to administer; for 1t has ma chinery, experience, sources of definite first-hand information, and practical ability such as has perhaps never been brought to such an undertaking.

WOMEN As BARrENprRs.

Recently The Boston Herald had some- thing to say about British bar-maids. vir- tually taking the position that it is disreputable business and that the young women who attend bars over there are at all times subject to insults from the habitues of the place. or, as The Herald expresses 1t, they are girls whom any drunken man or boy may leer at or bandy compliments with" and again refers to the bar-maid as "the girl to whom any
 male creature may be impudent within
 very loose limits.'
 Per contra, writer in The New York
 Commercial. who professes to speak from
 personal knowledge and observation
 says:
 The English bar-maid is not subject to
 any indignities from the customers of
 the house, and as a rule she is better
 educated and more intelligent by far than the average young woman who waits on customers in the restaurants and lunch rooms of the United States. It is the ex- ception. and not the rule. for Englishmen to be profane or vulgar in their conver- sation. and when it is understood that q bar-maid is a waitress-and not a drink I mixer, like the American bartender--the | occupation is placed In different light. Most English public houses are divided | into sections. and the bar is an enclosed space where the drawer and mixer is | screened off. There are bar parlor, a commercial room" a private back-par- | Tor a public drinking and smoking room and a 'tap-room." Caste is observed in l drinking as in everything else in that country. The poorer classes frequent the l tap room and are waited on by bartend- CTS In the other rooms the bar-maid takes the order goes to the enclosed bar. and returns with the drinks, which she places on the table collects the amount due and retires until recalled by the tap ping of bell that is placed on every table. Her position is similar to that of
 waiter in hotel dining-room in the United States, or to that of the now fast
 disappearing waitress in such places.
 Although the idea of having women
 and girls occupy the position of bartend-
 CTS in our saloons is obnoxious to the people of this country, and especially in the South, it is beyond doubt that in England they serve as bar-maids with out considering the occupation degrad- ing and the writer adds that ''the pres ence of woman waitress in the Eng fish public house has much to do with the tone of the conversation carried on, and the lewd story and the violent curs- ing so common in some of the bar-rooms of the United States are seldom heard in public houses In England"
 So. it seems that there may be two sides to a question, even that of saloon ! attendants. While we in this country look on the occupation as degrading to a woman in Great Britain 1t is not con- | sidered so. Further. the writer from whom we have quoted very plainly inti-
 mates that the presence of women and | girls acts as d commendable restraint on ! men who would otherwise be disorderIy | and offensive. All the same, we prefer | that the females of the South should en- | gage in other occupations.

PAYING FOR STREET PAVING.

The pavement litigation in this city draws attention to a provision in the new Constitution of Virginia on the subject of public improvements. portion of which reads:
 No city or town shall impose any tax or assessment upon abutting land owners | for street or other public local improve meI1ts. except for making and improving | the walkways upon then existing streets, l and improving and paving then existing alleys. and for either the construction, or for the use of sewers; and the same when imposed, shall not be in excess of the peculiar benefits resulting therefrom to such abutting land owners. Except in cities and towns no such taxes or assess ments, for local public Improvements shall be imposed on abutting land own CTS.
 If we understand that provision cor rectly the owners of property cannot be taxed to pay any of the expense of street paving. and if by "walkways'' the ordi- nary sidewalks are meant the property owners can only be taxed such amount as will cover the benefits accruing to the property by reason of such paved side
 
 tional provision The Petersburg Appeal says:
 Hereafter the abutting property owners will be no more responsible for improve ments of the road-beds than other tax payers in the community. This is eoui- table, just and sensible, and that is what The Index-Appeal has consistently and persistently contended for at all times. The road-beds belong to the public for the public use, without discrimination for or against anyone, and their improve ment should be paid for out of the gen. eral fisc just as other municipal improve ments are paid for Assessments and collection of money against abutting property owners for decent street im- | provement in this city Is nothing more nor less than an arbitrary exercise of power and outrage upon justice and | right.
 Section 223, Article F, of the Consti- tuition of Alabama ordains as follows: No city, town or other municipality shall make any assessments for the cost l of sidewalks or street paving, or for cost l of the construction of any sewer against property abutting on such street or side. walk so paved, or drained by such sew. CTS. in excess of the increased value ot such property by reason of the special | benefits derived from such improvements It would seem that the difference be. tween the Constitution of the two States exists in the fact that the Virginia Con. stitution prohibits assessments upon | abutting land owners for street purposes while the Alabama Constitution permits

AN INDIGNANT DENIAL
of a Statement About MT. Davis


 The Memphis Commercial-Appeal the other day contained letter from Isaiah T. Montgomery, once the trusted slave of Jefferson Davis. It was written in defense of his former master and is elo- quent of that good feeling between the master and slave that so often existed in the South and that even the bitter ness of the war could not obliterate. The letter is as follows:
 Editor Commercial-Appeal:
 In the June number of the Century Magazine there appears quite an inter esting and striking article by John b. Howe and Charles E. Duffee, on Blood hounds in America" On page 2S0 the production is seriously marred by very glaring and misleading statement. The paragraph particularly referred to states: "There were a few genuine bloodhOunds in the United States prior to the re- bellion, but the war worked their extinc- ton. Union veterans say the troops had orders to kill at sight every one found Jefferson Davis, President of the South ern Confederacy. was known to have i'm ported pack for breeding purposes; they were ordered destroyed. The man de- tailed for this work was a brother of George &. Meeker of Beatrice, Neb. He performed his task well, for it is said that he killed no fewer than forty-seven bloOded animals at MT. Daviss nome.
 Those intimately acquainted with MT. Davis will readily attribute to him Ike n appreciation of thoroughbred and well trained animals, horses especially; but the natural inference of the above qHota- tion is: That he was an importer and breeder of blodohounds or negro 0Ogs. The imputation Is most farfetcned and devoid of foundation. As a matter of fact he had no hounds of any kind on his plantation, and absolutely had Io Ise for negro dogs, as none Of ms slaves were runaways Very respectfully yours,
 Isaiah T. Montgomery.

versa, as the case may be. Is there in the Eternal Ledger a page headed "Uni- ted States of America in Account with the Philippines in which this country is debited with Item, one atrocity," and credited with Item, two Bibles" leaving one Bible to the good as one against an- other possible authority. According to this religious authority. the United States could commit -9,992 military atrocities in the Philippines. and still be entirely with in its limit, and of course so long as printing presses can run and paper holds out the letter of credit, so to speak, can be kept we'll to the good. How the Lord would look at such bookkeeping, and whether in the final account it would be 70 Kd'' are questions which no secu- lar newspaper could presume to answer; they should be left solely to such repre- sentatives of religious journalism as can see how 1t is possible to overbalance 'wa- ter cures with Bibles.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- Rain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field or newspaperdom wkich comes under it's notice. and one of these signs ig the mystic symbol t01 denoting P'goiden,' which stands for high quality, and as thus explained:
 ''Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of It's circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with a single sym boi; but there is higher grade, according to khis standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL [O0I to describe adequately their standing
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol [00l and is the only paper so distinguished in this section of the South
