Our contemporary, the Biblical Recorder, makes
the point that many a man is throwing away dol
lars worth of time on trashy papers because they
are cheap. Man, they are the c~ostliest things IN
the world! A paper that does not instruct and
uplift, but rather runs through a mans mlnd-1n
and out again-is exceedingly dear at any price.
This fact cannot be too often emphasized. Many
a paper is so harmful it it's influence that a father
might we'll pay many times it's subscription price
to keep it out of his home, if there we're no other
way-of getting rid of it. Most of the New Eng
land Sample copy" story papers belong IN this
class, as well as a large number of dailies that
pander to the tastes of the depraved. Then there
are other papers, not bad, but worthless-papers
that do not poison the mind, but simply cheat a
man out of much time that he might put to some
useful end. Your paper is TO be your companion,
your family's companion. Would you allow a
criminal, or a man who talked chiefly of crime and
evil, to associate with your children, merely be-
cause he would stay with them for a few cents
less than would a man of clean life and e~levating
influence? Would you choose a foolish, blunder-
ing fellow to be your companion and your chill
dren's companion merely because he would stay
with YOU for fifty cents a year less than would
a man of intelligence, education and character?
This illustration is not overdrawn. 1t is just such
a choice that a man makes when he selects a
third grade paper because it happens to cost a few
cents less than a ~frst-class periodical would cost.

Canal" as POSTMASTER General Emory Smith
says. In season and out of season for nearly a
quarter of a century, Senator Morgan has been
hammering away at the canal idea, and has been
just as jealous when speaking to empty seats as
when addressing attentive crowds. Though rath-
er stubborn and lo~ng-winded Git has been often
said that if he had set his jaw to the work of
dredging the canal, it would have been finished
before now, these faults will not blind ~posterity
to the meritorious services he has rendered in his
twenty years fight for the great waterway.

In our series of selections from great poets
taking them in alphabetical order-we come this
week to Alfred Tennyson, whom we regard as the
greatest poet of the nineteenth century. 1t is in
~teresting to observe that Edgar Allan Poe, who
was born the same year as Tennyson, 1902, but
who died at the age of forty before Tennyson had
lived out half his eighty-fve years, regarded the
work that Tennyson had done even then as sutf-
cient to Justify him in saying: "In perfect sin
cerity I regard Alfred Teennyson as the noblest
poet that ever lived. x X < I call him, and think
him the noblest of poets, not because the impress
sions he produces are at all times the most pro-
found, not because the p~oetical excitement which
he induces is at all times the most intense, but
because it is at all times the most ethereal-in
other words, the most elevating and the most
pure. No other poet is so little of the earth,
earthly"

Accompanying the letter of Prof. J. M. john
son printed last week there came a personal note
to the Editor from which we take the liberty of
reprinting the following extract-partly because
of its news value as a report of progress in agri-
cultural education and partly because of the in
terest his North Carolina friends feel in the
career of Professor Johnson:
Gas you may remember, [ came here one year
ago, last October to take some work that was
then being started in this University as an exper-
iment. I worked pretty hard and in June our
Professor of Agriculture resigned and the Board
put me in charge of the work. I have had good
assistance in agriculture by one of our last years
graduates, and in horticulture I have been aided
materially by Professor Rhodes who rendered
North Carolina several years valuable service as
assistant horticulturist In addition to the regu-
lar four years course in agriculture we have
started two shorter ones, one covering one year
and the other requiring only three months time
for its completion. There have been quite a good
number of students in each of these courses and
I think agricultural education is growing in pop
ularity in this State. This department is issuing
a set of nature study bulletins to the teachers and
pupils of the public schools of Georgia"

NOTES FROM THE SOUTHERN EDUCATIONAL
CONFERENCE.
Editorial Correspondence

This is my first visit to Richmond, and I am
impressed with the contrast between the condi-
lions at present and the conditions existing when
my father made his first visit to the city forty
years ago. He came as a Confederate soldier in
the titanic struggle between North and South.
Then blue and gray faced each other in deadly
combat, and the Virginia fields ran red with
brothers blood. But I have come at a time when
men of the North and of the South, representa-
tives of men who followed the Stars and Bars and
of men who followed the Stars and Stripes, have
met to plan together in friendly counsel about
the vital problems that confront us-"forgetting
the things which are behind" [ was about to say;
but we have forgotten only the bitterness of the
spent quarrel and not the heroism of the fathers.
AS DR.. St. Clair McKelway, Editor of the Brook
Ign Eagle, so aptly said yesterday:
'"The sons will preserve and magnify the fame.
of their fathers, but they will not foster or fight
over again their feuds, since the fathers them
selves, an illustrious and a pathetically thinning
band, long ago renowned rancor and dissolved
differences. We will flially honor the shades of
our ancestors, but we will not cut ourselves among
their tombs. Our fathers fought out the uues-
items which their fOrefathers left unsettled. We
recognize and rejoice in the settlement of those
questions. But we are resolved that neither the
charm of historical study nor the passions nor the
pathos of poetry, nor the pious exaltation which
shrines incite and monuments inspire shall to-day
hold back North and South from the new and
noble obligations and from the benign and broth
erly competitions of this teeming time. Better
a decade of love and of peace than a cycle of the
mutilations and of the memories of a civil war;
In this paragraph DR.. McKelway has happilv
epitomized the attitude of each section to the
other as here represented. It would be impossible
for this assemblage of Northern and Southern
men, met here in the old capital of the Confeder-
acy, the storm-center of the great Civil War, to
forget that eventful struggle, but it's memories

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

The word gentleman has not any correlative
abstract to express the quality. : \ \ The gen
tlcman is a man of truth, lord of his own actions,
and expressing that lordship in his behavior, not
in any manner dependent and servile either on
persons, or opinions or possessions. Beyond this
fact of truth and real force, the word denotes
good nature or benevolence: manhood first, and
then gentleness-From Emerson's Essay on

Seeding begins from the, list to the
10th Of April and lasts thirty to forty
days. Land for wheat is usually pre-
pared the summer and fall preceding,
but many prefer to spring plow for

gins after seeding and continues till
about July 10. Such breaking should
be "backset' or "subsoiled" during Au-
gust. Some farmers break in the spring
and SOW flax on the land, thus raising
a crop the first season. Flax raising
on breaking commands a high price,
being extra clean. During July and
August summer following is done.
