these are practical questions which
all land owners want TO understand
and which should be clearly and fully
explained.
Inasmuch as the ignorance of
mountain people has been so fire.
uuently exploited by q certain type
of enlightened visitors there is
ell the stronger obligation TO give
them every means of informing
| themselves.
/ think the time has come when
the boundaries of the Park should be
definitely fixed. Who is TO be in it
and who out of it? Where 10 the
park going TO be? If it we're pro-
posed TO acquire land for the park by
purchase" alone, it would be en-
tirely right and proper for the pro-
motors of the project TO leave the
boundary question vague and unset
tied, thus playing off one section
against another and keeping down
the price but, since the government
has the power so take what it CAN
not buy, to condemn what Ii cannot
purchase since proprietors are to
have no option in the matter, but
are TO be forcibly dealt with it is
only just and fair that the bound
aries of the proposed park should be
fixed, so that land owners may know
beforehand whether or not their
property is TO be condemned and
taken from them. OF course, the
law of this whole matter is TO be
found nicely printed in the act of
the General Assembly of North
Carolina, session 1901, chapter IL,
DID. 1878, and in Senator Pr1tchard's
bill, but Notwithstanding the fact
that all men are presumed to know
the law, there is a great ideal more
ignorance about the Appalachian
Park than there should be. AS it is
likely that some of this ignorance
is due to the ''quiet" policy pursued
by those promoting the measure, l
am strongly of the opinion that some
noise on this subject is now in order
and will, ven at this the eleventh
hour, be we'll worth hearing.
would suggest that the best way
for the friends of the park to put
the demagogue "out of business, is
to give the public a great many facts
and a whole lot of information CON-
corning the proposed Appalachian
Forest Reserve. j. Fl. MARTIN.

NEED OF PROTECTION FOB APPALA-
CHAN FORESTS.

Correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
Recent Investigations have shown
that wasteful methods of numbering
and unchecked fires r threatening
the destruction of the forests in the
southern Appalachians. The heart
of this region, lying in western North
Carolina and eastern Tennessee,
covers an area of about Is, 900 square
miles and contains not only the
grandest mountain scenery east of
the Mississippi River, but a variety
and wealth of forest growth to be
found in few other parts of the
country. Here the trees of North
ern and Southern species mingle, and
here many of the important rivers
of the South gather their waters,
which are afterwards used for power
and supply. The Importance of these
rivers has of late years become more
thoroughly understood from the re-
suits of the measurements to ascer-
tain the volume of their flow, which
the United States Geological Survey
is conducting, and also the part
played by the forests in protecting
their head waters and helping to
eQualize their flow. Thus, the pro-
lection of these forests is of great
Importance, not only for the wood,
but also for the water supply of the
South. The United States Bureau
of Forestry has made a study of the
conditions in the southern Appa-
laohian region, and has offered
recommendations for the practical
care of the standing timber in a re-
cent bulletin and made suggestions
for it's scientific cutting which will
preserve and not destroy the forests.

EDUCATIONAL FACTS AND FIGURES.
A Statement Of Comparative Educational
Conditions in Ten Southern States.

A Statement Of Comparative Educational
Conditions in Ten Southern States.
correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
In 1900 the ten States south of the
Potomac and the Ohio and east Of
the Mississippi, including Louisiana,
had % per cent. of the total popula-
ton of the United States, and 25 per
cent. of the school population yet
only 81 per cent, of the total ex-
penditures for public schools was
made in these States, and only Al
per cent. of the $538, 623, 736 of public
school property was in these States.
The per capita expenditure for
public schools varied from so cents
in Alabama and 81 cents in North
Carolina TO 5 SO in Massachusetts,
and s.. 80 in Nevada. The average
for the whole country was 50 50 for
these ten States only Sc cents. The
average per capita for these States
was less than one-third the average
for the whole country and only a
little more than one-fifth the aver
age for the North Atlantic and
Western States. The average salary
paid teachers for the entire school
year varied from $87 for males and
$78 for females in North Carolina to
$1,000 for males and 1896 for
females in Massachusetts. The aver.
age for the whole country, exclusive
of these ten States, was 1856. O2 for
males and $312 % for females for
these ten States $175 for males and
$3.50 for females. The average num-
Der of days of schooling for each
child of school age varied from %
in North Carolina to 1O7 in Massa-
chusette. For the North Atlantic
States it was 81, for the North Cen
trail States 81, for the Western States
80, for these ten Southern States 43.
It should be remembered also that
only 154, 900 of the 5,645, 1874 children
of school age in these ten States
were reported as enrolled in private
schools, primary and secondary.
The total school fund of these ten
States was only n million dollars
more than the school fund of Ohio,
and the total value of their public
school property was only one half
the value of the public school prop
erty of Ohio.
A generation has passed since the
close of the war between the States,
and business men in the prime of
life whose children are now in the
schools never heard the noise of bat
tie or saw a wounded soldier tent TO
the rear. These States are rich be
yond comparison in natural re.
sources. They are peopled by a brave
and noble race. Is it creditable to
US that such comparisons as the
above show such relative conditions
as to education? P. P. G.
