Doing . Great Work

The Savannah News says: discus.
sion In the South Carolina legislature
day or two ago brought out the fact
that less than 10 per cent of the
students at Clemson college take the
course of agriculture. This college
was established as an agricultural
college. To teach boys how to become
farmers was the prime purpose. Has
1T failed Of its mission? The uues.
tion was asked on the floor of the
legislature. While Clemson has not
had many students who took the
agricultural course 1t has done much
In educating young men along indus
trial lines and its mission has not
been failure" This is true, Glenn
son Is doing great work for young
men. While it may educate many of
them away from the farm, as is often
charged, 1t fits them for high and
honorable positions in other walks of
life. Farmers sons have just as much
right to leave the farm and accept
these places as other boys. If they
have the capacity to fit themselves
for responsible positions away from
the farm they should not be denied
the privilege of doing SO simply be.
cause they had been raised on farm.
South Carolina should be proud of the
record her sons, who were trained at
Clemson, are making In all the walks
OF life In other States.

Would be Interesting.

We presume there will never be an
age when the dead beat will not
flourish at the expense OF others. And
especially is this the case with those
who make a practice of beating
their doctor bills. If the practice OF
medicine happened to be an exact
science, boycott OF the doctors
against the dead beats would result
In an interesting experiment. Unfort-
unately the dead beat cannot be sin
gled out for punishment. He usually
has "a family and In furnishing him
the medical profession might punish
from two to ten others who are unde-
serving Of punishment. But the chief
interest would be in practical test
in the case OF the beats. If they
were blacklisted and denied all medl-
Cal attendance, mortality statisticians
would prick up their ears and begin
to take notes. In due time we should
have comparative tables showing the
mortality OF the human race under
medical attendance and the mortality
o. that portion Of the race which is
denied attendance. Tie experiment.
would give the world a fair test Of
the efficacy Of medical attendance In
general, taking the skilled and the
unskilled practitioners as they occur.
Really, 1t Is a great pity that some
thing OF this sort cannot be done, with
the consent Of all parties concerned.
