SOUTHERN
 EDUCATION
MAKING A MODEL SCHOOL.
An Interesting Educational ExperI- mcnt Under Way Near Knox
 yiIIe, Tenn.

In Knox county, Tennessee, there is being established a unique rural consolidated school. The three school directors of the district have decided to consolidate several small schools into one central school, combining for it's support $4.5o per capita of all the scholastic population represented by the school. The people in the com munity have raised 5000 by volun- tary subscriptions and the general cd ueaton board has contributed another Sj,000. With such support the school has bright prospects.
 Thirteen acres of land have been purchased at the intersection of the Concord and Kingston roads, site 12 miles from the city of Knoxville. On this property will be built mod el country home of eight rooms to be used by the principal and his wife, and also schoclhouse with six class rooms, an assembly hall for school and public meetings and T library for the students and their parents. Five acres of bottom land will be used as a farm. six acres of upland as gar cen, ofeHdfd anu pay iotiiii aili ''N' acres of sloping land will Ee planted in trees and grass. In every way pos sible the houses and property will he made attractive-a model center for the educational life of this prosperous agricultural community.
 The principal and his wife, who are employed by the year, will be assisted by three other teachers for the nine months session. The courses of study will consist of the public school course. vocal music, dairying. poultry raising and elementary farming. An effort is beng made to meet the spe- eial needs of the children in rural communities, preparing them to en- ter intelligently into the oPportuni- ties around them.
 In January the new principal will begin work, and it is expected that by the opening of the school in Au- gust the houses will be built, the land under cultivation and everything in readiness

HACK AND HIS BEAN STALK.
The Only Way in Which the Rose of IIIiteracy in the south Can
 be 0Nercome.

If Jack climbs his bean stalk at the rate of mile a day and the bean stalk grows at the rate of a mile and a quarter q day, when will Jack reach the top of his bean stalk? Plain iv. only after he has begun to climb faster than the bean stalk grows.
 If in thirty years the number of il- literate white voters in a state has in- creased 21. .363. at the same rate when will there cease to be illiterate white voters in that state? Plainly only when-they are disfranchlsed. But when will there cease to be native white males of voting age who can not read and write? Certainly. no un- til better schools are provided and lazy and indifferent parents are re- quired to send their children to them.
 It is probably not generally known that in every southern state there has been in the last thirty years an in crease in the number of white males twenty years old and over who can neither read nor write. Net it Is true; and it is furthermore true that in no state south of the Ohio and the Poto- mac has there been q decrease in the number of illiterates of this class in any decade since 1870. On the contra rv. there has been an increase in il- hterates of this class in every state in each of these three decades.
 In 1900 there were in Virginia S,S47 more illiterate native white men twen. tv-one years old and over than in 1s90: in West Virginia II, ,35t more; in North Carolina 2i. .363 more; in South Carolina 3,375 more; in Georgia 10,559 more: in Florida 2,6S2 more; in Ken lucky 21,99l naEEssi, in tennessee f4,- 705 more; in Alabama 14,lS5 more; in Mississippi 2,936 more; in Louisiana 19.991 more; in Texas 34,2s5 more; in Arkansas 99l3 more. In 1890 there were in all these states 17j,Ss3 more illiterate native white men than in 1870. At this rate, when will there cease to be large number of Hitter ate native white voters in these good states? This is matter for the cara est consideration of every legislator and every good citizen in all these states, and the problem of Jack and his bean stalk suggests the remedy.

ue went West and prospered.

Freeland. Kans., Mar 9th:-One of the most prosperous farmers in Harper County is Mr. \. H. Mead. Some thirty four years ago he lett his home near Clarence, N. l., md came 10 Kansas. Here he h3s IhTlyed a hundred and forty acres of wheat alone.
 But everything has not gone well with Mr. Mead. for his health has not been good for the last few years. He has suffered d great deal with Kidney and Bladder Iron be and could get nothing to stop It. Lately, however he has improved great deal ard he says that he has none of the old symp- toms left and is feeling splendid again. He used Dodd's Kidney Pills and this rem edy seemed to work wonders in his case. He says himself:
 ''Dodd's Kidney Pills have made me well for Kidney Trouble. They helped me right from the start, giving me great relief, and finally cured me"

PROSPERITY IN CANADA.
The Farmer In Western Canada
 Achieves Wonderful success.

One of the first things that the man who wishes to change his resi- denee endeaVors to find out Is where he may go and succeed. It need be matter of little doubt or indecision now~ During the past four or five years the development of Western Canada has been so rapid, and the conditions of life there so widely known, that up- wards of 100000 Americans have taken up their homes there, and the experience of these people is that they are thoroughly satisfied with their choice of home.
 The methods of farming there are similar to those adopted in the United States, but the operations are sim pier, the yield of grain greater. and the profits more satisfactory. Ranch ing is carried on with lots of success. Mixed farming is always profitable, while the results in grain-raisinS are as certain as splendid soil, excellent climate and lots of sunlight can give.
 The yields of - but nothing is as satisfactory as the experience of the farmer himself, and extracts are selected from one.
 A good. intelligent farmer. named Mears, John Mears, to be eXact-left Cavalier County, North Dakota. two years ago, and followed the thou sands who had already gone to Can ada. He had twenty-five years eN- perience in Minnesota. in buying
 Ho m in 1l experience he never saw district so well suited to the growth of flax as Western Canada. The financial results of MT. Mears' operations in n single season are as follows: Wheat. 5000 bushels, l hard at 57i2c, $l, ,7s5.o0. 2.6s0 bushels, Northern at 54c, $l.- 4572O; oats, 1,750 bushels, at 35c, s612.5o. Speltz, 154 bushels at 75c, Sfl5.50. Flax, 324 bushels. at $2, $62S. Total, $4.59S.20.-A return of more than S4,500 from little over 25O acres, an average of SIS per acre is surely testimony sufficiently strong to satisfy the most incrcdulous as 10 the money to be made out of inc soil of the Canadian West. 1t IS to
 
 ible and demonstrable in dollars and cents, that, the steady northward movement of American farmers k due. Mir Mears is settled near Ar cola, Assa.
 A number of Americans who have chosen Western Canada as home had the idea that man enjoyed less freedom in Canada, but they soon found their mistake, and say the laws of Canada are the most liberal in the world, and such as prevent the liti- pation which breeds SO much bad feeling between people in the United States and costs them so dear in lawyers fees.
 The Government has established Agencies at St Paul, Minn.; Omaha, Neb; Kansas City, Mo; Chicago. H.; Indianapolis, Ind; Milwaukee, Wis; Wausau, Wis; Detroit. Sault Ste. Marie, and Marquette, Mich; To ledo. Ohio; Watertown. $. Dakota; Grand Forks, \. Dakota; and Great Falls, Montana; and the sugges- tion is made that by addressing any of these. who are the author ized agents of the Government, it will be 10 the advantage of the re1der, who will be given the full est and most authentic information regarding the results of mixed farm ing. dairying. ranehiug and grain raising, and also supply information as to freight aud passenger rates, etc

LOOKING FOR A RIVER.
Senator Depew's Conception of the Rio Grande and What the
 Reality Was.

Into speech Senator Depew interjected an anecdote, says the Washington Post Very early in my boyhood, said he. read about the great rivers of the globe. Having been born on the Hudson l Was in- terested in the Amazon, with 5000 miles of navigation, and took great pride in the Mississippi, the Father of Waters. l studied the stories of the Nile and ot the Old liber I delighted in the descriptions ot the Rio Graude.
 But 1t was not my pleasure to be near the Rio Grande till five years ago As soon as our train reached Fl Paso l went out to view the beautiful Rio Grande. to see the commerce floating upon its bosom. and the crafts and palaces, such as go up and down on the Hudson. l walked more than an hour, and, returning. saw an aged man, who I believed, would likely be truthful l asked him where was the Rio Grande.
 Sir" said he, you nave already crossed 1t twice.
 Senator Depew said after that he was forced to the conclusion that "the rivers of New Mexico have their bottoms on top"

She came upon room in tenement house n waich there were five families ''in res dence" one in each corner and one iu the middle of the floor.

BOTH MUST BE EDUCATED.
The Two Races Living side By Side in the south Must Each He
 Educated.

Two races live and work side by side on the soil of these states. In industrial and civil life they are in separately united; in social life intlu- encing each other at every point, but forever divided. In all things pure tv social x separate as the fingers. vet oue as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress" Both these races must be fully and freely educated. each race and each individual according to native ability and demands of life. The only solu- ton of what We call the race prob lem" is in the right education of all individuals of both races. One-third of the people are black. This third must do one-third of the work and produce one-third of the wealth, or 1t must be a burden to the other two thirds, bringing down by so much the total production and the total wealth. It must represent one-third of the moral virtue and civic strength. or it must be a menace and constant source of weakness. We must also remember that light is sweet to the black child as we'll as to the white child. and that
 "Without light, all life is sad"
 Doubtless the schools of the white children are not quite the best kind of schools for the colored children at the present stage of the races deyel- opment. But this does not relieve us of the sponsibility; it only makes it necessary that we study the prob lem more closely. In solving it we shall doubtless learn something for the good of the schools of ONT race
