Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN's MIsHAP.

Mr.. Chamberlain has fallen a victim
to the conservative temper of Eng
lishmen as respects free trade With
a statesman's breadth of view he fore
saw that the economic policy which
serv'd England when she was almost
the only manufacturing country could
not sustain her under the competition
of other Industrial powers and that,
sooner or later, She would have to
modify her free trade principles and
adopt some features of protection. In
his theory Mr.. Chamberlain was alb
solutely right; but when he challenged
the logged adherence of his fellow
Englishmen to the old things and the
old ways, he was forced out of office.
Like Gladstone for Home Rule in Ire
land he had - acknowledge that his
country yields only to the slow and
silent processes of fate; never to an
innovation.
What Mr.. Chamberlain proposed was
to erect a protective tariff for the
United Kingdom with a grant of pref
erential rates, if not absolute freedom
of trade, to the Colonies. He believed
that this measure would Cd relieve the
burden of taxation which has become
especially severe since the Boer war;
CID consolidate the empire; Gid in
crease the prosperity of manufactur-
ers and farmers; QVl provide money
for old age pensions and other forms
of socialfstie relief; (V) afford the col
onies a chance to control a market
which is now in the hands of out
siders, particularly the United States.
1t was a program worthy of a states
man; but it was defeated by voices
from the tomb.
However, MIR. Chamberlain may bide
his time. Stronger than respect for
old things is the instinct of self-pres-
eryation and this, in course of time,
must impeI Englishmen to drastic
reform in the economic policy be-
1ueathed them by Adam Smith.

The Nerve Hacking Piano.

of agriculture The officers of the school
 from the first have recognized the fact
 that perhaps SO per cent. of the negro
 population in this portion of the South
 live by some form of agriculture. Since
 finding this to be true, they have made
 special effort to train students in the industry that the people depend upon mostly for their living. One thing that
 makes the work at the Tusksgee Institute different from that of good many other institutions is that the work is made thoroughly practical. Students are taught how to do by doing: that Is, they are not only taught how to raise agricultural pro- ducts. but actually go into the field and put the teaching into practice. The Tus- kegee Institute. while 1t gives attention to the principles and theory of asricul- fursi training. at the same time places great enphasis upon the actual work. This is done for the reason that 1t seeks an this way to make agricultural work popular with the students and not have them pozeess the feeling that work of any kind in the soil is a dIsgrace, rather ahan aza heaor. h 0Fdsf to Est the stu" dents @ feel that t is juSS as honorable 10 work in the lield as t Is to teach in the school room, they are constantly gsyen training in ths use of the nswest

ing helpful purpose to the South if the students were given special instruction in the raising of pigs. The idea in do- ing this was to train the students in a way that would result in keeping money in the South that now goes into the West for pork. The school has at present over 800 hogs. mostly Berkshire. and we are safe in saying that they are as fine look ing hogs as one will find in any part of the country. Students are given careful lessons in hog breeding. including in- struetion in the various kinds of diseases which afflict hogs and the propsr method of caring for them. as well as attention being given to the best breeds of swine for this part of the South.
 Tho Future.
 The Tuskegee Institute in the future will be able to send out more men trained in agriculture than 1t has been able 10 do In the past. For the past few years 2 large proportion of the students have been engaged in putting up the various buildings needed by the school. The erection of these buildings by student la ber naturally emphasized the building

ern States to buy corn and pork, that could just as well be kept in the State. provided more attention were given to agricultural training.
 Not an Easy Task.
 The task of teaching negro youths to seek and love agricultural work was not an easy one on the part of the institution. At first it was only by the hardest effort that few students were induced to take agricultural training They expressed the idea that they knew all there was to be known about farming and could not learn anything at school about 1t. Not only that, but many of them were beld enough to state that they had come to school to learn how not to farm, rather than how to farm; that they wanted to get an ed ucation with an idea of getting out of the field and away from agricultural work The institution, however, pursued it's determination not only to make agri- culture the principal feature of its work. but to make 1t popular, and year by year the feeling against agricultural training has gradually disappeared. It has disappeared to such an extent that

the writer is safe in saying that at the present time there is practically no ob- teetion at the institution to work on the farm This department of work is as popular as that of any other depart ment.
 Teaching the Girls.
 The Tuskegee Institute is perhaps the first institution in America to give train ing in agriculture, horticulture, bee rais- ing and poultry raising to girls. The training of girls in agricultural pursuits was begun seven years ago. At nrst it was not popular among them. but it has grown in popularity to the extent that there is practically no feeling on the part of the girls against this form of education at the present time.l There are several other institutions in the Northern and Western States that now give agricultural training to women. One can see crowds of girls working in the garden. raising poultry. caring for bees and trimming trees and doing c great many kinds of work that can just as vol be done by a woman in q climate sush as that of Alabama. The institution feels that it is just as honorable to teach c woman how to so out into the sweet pure air and learn how to raise poultry

acres of peas, hfty-four acres of oats. nixty-eight acres of sweet potatoes. 1s7 acres of corn and forty-four acres of su- gar cane were cultivated and harvested on this farm.
 Perhaps this visit would not have been of special interest to me had I not seen who was actually ooii.s the work. All the duties connected with the carrying on of these many phases of agricultural work Are performed bys students under sne su- pervision of competent instructor or leader.
 I cannot refrain from saying that Pro lessor Carver. the head of the Agricul- fural Department, and the Chemist, is one of the best men for his work and is do- ing grand work at Tuskegee. Under his guidance the school will continue to grow in the character and practical value of Its agricultural training and the good effects be felt for all the years to come.

 Another interesting feature in connsc- ton with the farm work is the demand Tor the graduates of the institution.
