ART IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Yalue'0f Cultiyatiug an Aesthetic
Taste Among the Chill
drPn.
(From Municipal Affairs }

Our public schools stand Rs
high as any in the world. All
that7can be done along the lines
for which thew were intended is
we'll and completely done. Bv
law children between the ages Of
and Il years are compelled to
attend school daily. 1t ls posi-
BILE, therefore, to lay here foun-
dation for an interest in the
aesthetics Of life, TO create o
widespread interest in all that
concerns the construction and
decoration of the city, and to
cultivate and arouse q civic pride
which is Of paramount import
ance in all communities. Our
public school buildings should be
made veritable temples in all
that goes to influence the sensitive
minds Of children.
1t is universally known that
the most impressionable period
in life is in the budding age of
youth, practically covered by
the school age, from 7 to IA, and
all the vast army Of children
under the daily tutelege of the
best work of our best artists,
covering all important themes,
means that these children go out
into the world with tastes formed
In correct lines and high ideals
Of public duty. Impressions
made at that age are indellble
and the Importance of right
impressions upon all things can
not be over estimated. | do not
think it a wild statement that in
one generation of such object
lessons the minority who have
the means and intelligence to
lead public opinions Will have a
majority at their back-a vast
army of indefatigable workers
who will settle all questions of
public utilities and decorations
along lines which will make for
the best interest and highest
good. Civic pride, such an i'm
portant factor in tho success of
a city, might then become the
controlling spirit.

In.nmnia Remedies

However hopeless you may consider
your case, be slow to f1y to drugs for
relief from insomnia. A rubber bag full
of broken ice applied TO the back of
the neck and hot water bag at the
feet are highly recommended as a RENE
dy for insomnia even in obstinate cases.
The circulation is equalized by this
treatment
The secret of hot milk cure also rec
commended for sufferers from insomnia
lies in slipping the beverage. The act
of slowly swallowing the liquid is
soothing in its effect and generally
produces the much desired drowsy feel
ing which leads to the coveted sleep.

A UNIQUE DORMITORY.

OF the south.
Dean Hoffman was noted for char
liable impulses, which his large income
allowed him TO indulge in. Some years
ago the dean invested heavily in land
In a small southern town which was
then enjoying boom period. Among
the deans other investments was q
beautiful little hotel. exquisitely ap-
pointed and perfect In every detail.
After awhile the bloom" fell through.
and the little hotel became n losing in
vcstment.
At this time the chancellor of the
University of the South, an old friend
OF Dean Hoffman, was on n hunting
trip with him in the mountains Of
North Carolina.
I'VE are badly in need Of dormitory
down at Suwanee." said the chancel-
Tor.
Yes" said Hoffman and sat think
ing for moment. well. you can have
the hotel building down at B." nam
ing the town. you can take 1t TO
pieces and move it to Suwanee. 1t
ought TO make a pretty little dormi-
tory"
The chancellor was greatly pleased
and made all the arrangements to
move the hotel, when. 10 his astonish-
ment, the citizens of the town obtained
an injunction against its removal on
the grounds that the hotel in a way
was public property and that to re-
move it would leave the town without
any hotel accommodations. A legal
fight followed, but the university won
out in the end. SO the University OF
the South revels in the luxury of the
most unique dormitory in the world

THEODORE \. PRICE
ON COTTON,

! Especial to the News and Observer
New York, Oct pa slight decline IN
| the cotton market has occurred TO-DAY
as a result of the PRONUNCIATION of crop
| estimate of 100000 by Mr.. A. J. Bus
| ton. of Liverpool. Mr. Buston left New
York on September 2Sth and returned
this morning He has therefore been alb
sent twenty -five days, including sun
days. His crop estimate is predicted
upon an inspection within this period OF
the condition of the crop in eleven South
ern States, covering an acrea of '3Z'oO0
square miles, in which cotton acreage
of about 81 ,000.00 acres is under cuitl'
walton. Assuming that Mr. Buston was
able to cover the whole area by nlSht
travel and to examine the crop person
ally by dalight, the time that he mas
been absent from New York would nave
allowed barely two days to each State.
This would involve his examination upon
the acreage of 10000 square miles per
day. In this view of the case it Is
obvious that Mr.. Buston's estimate can
only be regarded as an expression OF
personal opinion, and while, knowing
him as l do personally, l give him credit
for all sincerity. | can but recognize
that like nearly all Englishmen, he APP
preached the problem of American cotton
production in an attitude on extreme
scepticism as to the possibilities of
short crop, and that going South with
this preconception from a foreign mar
ket, whose interest it is to buy Ameri-
can cotton as cheaply as possible, he is
likely to be unduly swayed by influences
of which he is perhaps unconscious. As
against MIR. Buston's views there is the
testimony of the United States govern
ment and of thousands of my own cor
respondents that this is the shortest cot
ton crop per acre that the South has
produced in many years. This | believe
to be the truth. Receipts already attest
it, The movement this week viii fall
600 bales below the movement for
the corresponding week last year, and
next week the comparison will probably
show a deficiency almost as great. The
statistical position is strong beyond
peraGVcnture. Mr.. BuSton's estimate
will not long be effective as bear
argument in the face of these adamantine
facts, and l continue to advise my
friends to buy cotton more confident
than ever before in my con-
VictiQn that very much higher
prices during he present season will be
realized The commercial crop last
year was 10,60O,0 600 The production is
general conceded to have been only
10 zoos 90, although Mr.. Buston's estimate
at this time last year was 10,750,O00 mini
mum. and his prediction was for low
or prices. AS a matter of fact mldd'ing
cotton when he made his last years
estimate was selling in New orleans at
~. and it subsequently advanced two
cents pound With the increased con-
sumption this year history seems ne
urlikely to repeat itself so far is The
market is concerned. even if Mr.. Bus'on'o
o.ltreme figures should be Appropriated.
