TEACH FARMING IN SCHOOLS.

The fact that there is a noticeable
glavitation of the farmer boy to the
city these days, has aroused comment
all over the land. And that in many in
stances the prospects of the country
boy have been blighted by his intro
duction to the varying temptations and
of the city, which is to be deplored.
How to keep the boys upon the farm
has been much a discussed question
among anxious parents and guardians.
various plans have been suggested,
long winded articles have been written.
upon the subject, and still the matter is
left without a satisfactory answer.
If the boy is to be kept upon the
farm, hen there must be some attrac-
His mind must be trained to find pleas
ure in contemplation Of the work that
his hands nave been trained to do. The
farmer boy in the country school at
the present time is taught almost ev-
erything else, but the one thing that
should interest him most. He is told
about the beasts that roam in the for
eign chimes; he reads the history of the
civil war; learns how his fathers used
to raise tobacco; is shown how he
should address a letter to the manager
of a business firm to whom he is il p
posed to be applying for a job; is
taught grammar, arithmetic n spell
ing, but never once is he given a word
of the instruction on art and
science of the very work that he is be-
ing brought up TO do; viz. farming.
Why shouldn't q boy be given a
course Of such instruction, beginning
with his first day at a country school"
Text books could be provided by the
use of which any teacher could inter- |
est a boy or girl on many subjects of
in the life and work of a far
mer, that are unknown today to the
citizen. There is a boundless
range of subjects concerning the farm
work, the farm animals, and ountry
life and associations generally, from
which the teacher or writer of a text
book, might draw that which would in
terest the country boy to a great degree.
Country boys in a country school are
very w~ide-awake fellows, and a few of
the things that are taught in some OF
our higher schools of agriculture, if told
to them would give them new thoughts,

so monotonous after all. Why not be-

close of his life, he and his fatehr had

This is a very unique relation. AL

the father is Very rare who can bend to

Mothers ,are more apt to keep in
touch with their girls than fathers with

are more plastic. Men petrify too
early, cry5talize and lose sympathy

it hard to keep lock step with their
adult sons. An indefinable wall, though
transparent as air. keeps them apart.
They just miss being free with each

POLICY WHEELS STILLED:
GAMBLING HOUSES DARK.
City Detectives Went on Still Hunt Yesterday
Afternoon for Policy Writer'S

So far as known. every form of pub
lie gambling in Savannah has stopped,
and the statement is made that there
will be no more of it. The gamblers
have reached the end of their rope.
Not only public gaming houses, but
policy as well, fall under the ban. While
those in authority continue silent on
the subject, something has been DONE
1t happened yesterday, and in the YER
nacular, there was nothing doing last
night.
The members of the sporting fraterni-
ty wore a worried look. They were
busy during the afternoon, but the wor-
ried look continued. ITS no four
flush, but the straight goods said
one of the sports, and his tone was evil
dence of the fact that he was quite
serious.
The city detectives were out in the
afternoon looking for policy shops, but
not a policy wheel was turned. The
gamblers had reason to believe that
no warning would be given them, but
that raids would be made. The detec-
tiVes went out for the purpose of
making arrests and would have done
so, had they been able to find any
places running.

RECORD BREAKER
IN HOLIDAY TRAVEL
Local Passenger Business of Rail-
roads Heaviest In Years.

Local Passenger Business of Rail-
roads Heaviest in Years.
The Christmas travel over the rail-
reads entering Savannah was heavier
yesterday than it has been on the same
day for many years. Both coming to
the city and leaving it the crowds were
so large as to excite comment both
other persons whose business drew
them to the stations during the day.
To handle the outgoing crowds in the
afternoon it became necessary for the
force of gatemen to be increased and
even then there was a crush that was
unprecedented in the history of the
Union Station. Additional equipment
had been added to the trains and it
was all needed, for even this addition
al space was barely able to hold the
passengers. Though no official figures
were obtainable at the ticket office
there is no doubt that the travel will
show up away ahead of any former
season.
Besides the volume of travel another
fact that excited comment was the
evidences that there is plenty of mon
ey in the country and that the peonle
are spending it freely. Almost every
person that left on the outgoing trains
yesterday carried an armful of bum
dies or a big basket loaded with pur-
chases made in the CITY.
While the travel just now is chiefly
local and will decrease to normal pro-
portions from now on, the railroad
men report that through travel is all
that could be desired, being so heavy,
in fact that additional sleepers have
been added to the trains from the
North and East

ties mean business. The last shooting

Public sentiment is against us now,
and on all sides we are getting roasted.
The authorities amt saying much, but
they do what public sentiment wants
them to do, and we've got to go.
NOW that it's all over, can't say
that 1 blame the people much. The
boys just seemed to run wild, and they
took step too much. guess a few of
us will not be able to do anything much
in the legitimate line and will have to
find new homes. They even threaten to
arrest us as Migrants if we are seen
on the streets too often, and we'll have
to get out as soon as we use up our
neal tickets"

Has Been Abandoned Because Avon
dale Range Can't BE Used.
The Savannah Rifle Association will
have no annual shoot this year. 1t has
been the custom of this association to
hold a live bird shoot and an oyster
roast on Jan. Of every year, and
this year will be the first time in the
twenty-seven years OF the existence of
the association that it will have been

that with the introduction of Krag

Attorneys Concluded Their Argu-
ments ut Charleston.
Charleston, s. c., Dec. 24.-Before the
United States Circuit Court the argu-
ments in the Phinizy suit against the
Olympia Cotton Mills for the appoint
ment of a receiver We're closed to-day,
and the case taken under Amusement
by Judges Simonton and Brawley.
Probably the most interesting feature
of the proceedings, barring, of course,
MIR. Abner's free and caustic comment
upon the acts of the officers and
board of directors, were the decision of
Messrs. Smyth, Lee & Frost, attorneys
for the intervening creditors, joining in
the motion TO have a receiver appointed
for the mill The attorneys for the in
tervening creditors have been account
ed in sympathy with the plan of reor-
ganlzation or at least as showing a
friendly disposition towards it, but to-
day Mr.. Smyth boldly announced that,
contrary to his personal feelings in the
matter, he was forced to express his
convictions plainly that the Olympia
mill was insolvent and a receivership
offered the only plan for the protection
of the interests of the creditors.
Mr.. Steele closed the argument in a
short and clear argument, earnestly
asking the court not to stay the reor-
ganlzation plan. He showed that the
plan depended on the three mills being
bound together and assured the court
mat no advantage will be taken of
the CRANKY and Richland mills in the
final adjudication of the existing diff
ferences, and the reorganizers would
diligently guard the interests of ali
stockholders as we'll as creditors. and
everything will come right, if the plan
Is allowed to go through, as outlined
and arranged for.

when decision will be rendered.
