WHAT BOYS SHOULD BE TAUGHT.

We notice in an exchange this
statement, made by a correspondent
in a~eference to q school: "Mr. -
has pictured to them so forcibly the
vast possibilities stretching out be-
fore them that there is not a Lad in
school who does not expect at some
time to be Governor Of North Caro-
lima"
Now that's the trouble in many a
school in North Carolina. The boys
have been taught that about all there
is to live for is some political job.
It's that way from the University
down to the old field school. This
political job induoement has. been
held out to the North Carolina boy
in order to make him aspire, about
long enough. We need to teach the
boys to aim high but there are
higher things than governorships.
To be master of a factory and to
know It's complicated machinery is q
greater thing than to hold down the
Governors chair. To know how to
bring from the soil all that soil is
capable of producing requires a lot
more brain than it does to be Presi-
dent. We have enough men in the
political plum orchards and around
the plitical pie counters in this State.
We need men who know how TO do
things, who consider the oonstruc-
ton of a bridge, the fine cultivation
of farm, the skillful management
of machinery, greater than political
jobs. Young man, your chances to
be Governor, Congressman, Senator
or President are 'Enone scarcely"
but your chances to do something in
the material upbuilding of this great,
undeveloped State, which needs men
of strong, red Drawn and active brain
so much to develop it, are as stars
for multitude. Get away from the
fool idea that there is no honor save
in the line of politicss.-Monroe
Enquirer.

EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS.

In an article published in the Feb
ruary Forum discussing various
"Problems of Our Educational Sys-
tenn" President William De Witt
Hyde, of Bowdoin College, declares
his independence of European tradi
tlons with respect TO higher educa-
ton. He expresses the opinion that
1.-THE twentieth century finds us just
a bit tired of the Germans peculiar
type of scholarship, with it's zeal to
heap up new acquisitions of knowl-
edge regardless of relative worth,
sense of proportion, attractiveness
of form, or either aesthetic OF prac
tical use. The degree and the thesis
are no longer accepted as sure indi-
catisns that a man is prepared to
teach American youth. It is just
beginning to dawn upon us that a
grain of inspiration is worth many
ounces of information that an ounce
Of comprehension is worth many
pounds of aggregation ; and that a
single pound of art is worth many
pounds of science. Hence, knowl-
edge is but one of a dozen of the ends
of education, one of a SCORE of the
qualities the university teacher must
have"

Cannot our ROADS OI66n Do nhuo
straighter or lessen distance? The
railroads attend TO these matters so
that a train can carry more and
make better time. We need TO at
tend to these things for the very
reason. We have as strong compe-
tition as the railroads have, and
often worse for some of our compeei-
tors do not count cost of production.
Therefore, as business farmers we
need to save every item possible in
expense of carrying, and this can be
accomplished only by good roads.
BAD RoARDs PARALYzE OUR EFFORTs
AT COMPETITION.
We have heard Gen. Butler say that
on occount of the bad condition Of
our public roads and the high state
of perfection TO which the railroads
have attained, that fruit from Cali,
fornia oar be laid down in Raleigh
for less cost Of carriage than it can
be brought from a farm over the
public roads. twenty miles distant.
You see by this that the railroads
enable the fruit growers of Califor-
mia TO compete with the fruit. grow
ers of your own country in your own
country towns. To successfully com-
pete with the California fruit grow
ers, who have natural advantages
over US, we need to improve our
highways SO as to reduce the cost of
carriage to a minimum.
Nor r the fruit growers the only
ones of us who have Western com.
petition. You know, and I know,
that the price of corn, wheat, oats,
hay, etc, here, at home, are not fixed
by our own farmers, but by the Wes-
tern dealers. So the rich oOrn and
grain-growing sections of the West
are competing in u W markets
with US. The only way that we
may hope TO successfully compete
with these people in u W mar
kets is to mend u ways" that
is, build good roads SO as to enable
us to get to market at any time and
carry a full load, thereby reducing
cost of transportation. The cost of
carriage over bad roads is quite an
item. A bad road is a relentless
tax assessor and q sur collector.
The expense in time, 9 and tear
of team and vehicle, and, at times,
the 'swear" and tear of the driver is
no inconsidersble item. These are
business considerations worthy of
the attention of every farmer in the
State.
The economy, from every financial
standpoint, demands that we have
good roads. It is not that we r SO
poor that we cannot stand the ex-
pense of making good roads we are
too poor not to have them. Con.
vince our people of the necessity of
good roads and when they are once
aroused they will have them at any
reasonable cost. The bravery and
daring of North Carolinians in every
effort in which they have partici-
pated, from the days of the Regu-
lators in the Piedmont section, when
they routed the Kings court, then in
session in HillsbOro and took charge
of the docket and made entries
thereon suited to their own ideas of
the case, TO the scaling of the walls
at Pekin, China, last year. First
at Bethel, farthest at Getty sburg and
last at Appomattox, is an ackknowl,
edgement of their bravery that they
have fairly won. With this record
we do not propose to be left behind
in the march of progress for good
roads.

HER LAST LETTER.
Calmly Written by a Young Lady Who
Perlshed at st. Pierre.

Paris, May 2O--Martinique mails for
warded just prior to the recent dis
aster arrived here yesterday. One
most interesting letter is from young
lady who was among the victims. 1t
was dated May Sd. After describing
the aspect of st. Pierre before dawn,
the town being lit up with flames from
the volcano, everything covered with
ashes, and the people greatly excited
yet not panic stricken. she said:
"My calmness astonishes me. 1 am
awaiting the event TRANQUILITY. My
only suffering is from the dust which
penetrates everything. even through
closed windows and doors We are
all calm. Mamma is not a bit anxious.
Edith alone is frightened. If death
awaits us there will be numerous
company to leave the world. Will it
be by fire or asphyxiation? 1t will be
what God Wills You will have our
last thoughts Tell brother Robert
that we are still alive. This will, per-
haps, be no longer true when this let
ter reaches you"
The Edith mentioned was lady visi-
tor who was among the rescued. This
and other letters inclosed samples Of
the ashes which fell over the doomed
city. The ashes are blush gray i'm
palpable powder, resembling newly
ground flour and slightly smelling of
sulphur.

in which he declares his determina-
