The experiment of South Caro-
lina's Department of immigration
with the $50 scandinavian families
who are to be settled on 10000 acres
of land in Lexington County, will
be watched with interest If they
make good citizens, good managers,
and Industrious laborers, then South
Carolina will be better off. But if
they prove to be the contrary, then
that State will be poorer; for, as the
Raleigh Times so we'll points out,
poo labor is an impoverishment, not
a help. This movement also suggests
another thought: what in the world
do people want to rush so many folks
into the South and fill it UP and
run it over all at once for? In a few
short years our children and our
children's children will be well able
to occupy the land. Why work all
these immigration schemes, only to
leave crowded posterity a sardine's
heritage? Land owners in the South
have a good thing for a long time
to come if they only knew it.-Gas-
tonia Gazette.

the feast, these garments were ex-
changed for others of crimson
damask, and the latter, presently,
gave place to crimson velvet. Fin
ally, the hosts appeared in the ordi-
nary Venetian costum, having given
thir rich robes to the servants. The
sordid garments in which they had
travelled then being produced, the
seams and the Innings were ripped
open and treasures of precious stones
we're displayed to the gaze of the as
tonished Venetians.
1t is no wonder that Marco Polo's
accounts of the countries where such
wealth had been acquired should have
excited the desires of Columbus to
see for himself such a country. Ola
his voyage he frequently quotes
Polo's book, and he confidently ex-
poets to find the islands and the
mainland described in it.

Announcement

Alfred Williams q Co. The other
numbers have been ordered, and the
complete set will be SEN to cub
scribers to the Reading Course as
soon as possible upon the receipt of
the price-one dollar.
The first book that will be dis
cussed is "The Discovery of Ameri-
ca" by Washington Irving.
The selection of this particular
book as the first in the course seems
very fitting since October, the month
of discovery is at hand, and since,
also. at this time many students in
our schools are beginning the study
of United States History, elementary
or advanced.
On the fifth page of the book a
note informs one hat "this volume
contains a condensed account of the
first voyage of Columbus, in Irving's
w words. The condensation has
been possible by a simple and judici-
Gus fermentation of details unim-
portant to the narrative"
A careful comparison of this con-
densed volume and the fuller account
will convince N that the condensa-
ton has been most happily effected
throughout the first twelve chapters.

broken at that point, but the omis-
sion will be supplied.
In studying the book, the follow
ing very simple outline may be help
full:
/. The life of Columbus-before his
first voyage. (Chap. 1-9.)
II. The voyage and the discovery
of land. (Chap. 10-12.)
III. Exploration of the new land.
(Chap. 49,
". The return to Spain. (Chap.
FIRST VOYAGE.
Notice the following leading
points:
L. Prince Henry of Portugal had
tried to find a way to Asia by the
south of Africa.
2. Columbus conceived a holder
plan to reach Asia by sailing west.
3. 1t was largely for the purposes
of trade that both wished to find an,
other way to Asia. Columbus was
infamed with missionary zeal also.
t. The circumstances of Columbus
life had conspired to arouse in him
a passion for geography and naviga-
ton.
5. He offered his services as an eX-
plorer to Portugal without success.
g.. After years of delay, the Span
ish sovereigns sent him out.
Z. More than eighteen years passed
between the announcement of his de-
sign and his fulfllment of it.

eral use and persuaded three learn,
ed men ito try to make an instrument
by which sailors could tell their dis
lance from the equator. "The result
of their labors was the application of
the astrolable to navigation enabling
the seaman, by the altitude of the
sun, to ascertain his distance from
the equator" This instrument has
since become the modern quadrant.
\ When a little child says, as he
sometimes does, that Columbus sailed
west to discover America, the teach
er, doubtless, recognizes the truth of
Mr.. Fiske's remark that Gin order
to understand what the great marin
ers of the fifteenth and sixteenth CEN
turtles were trying to do, and what
people supposed them to have done,
n must Legin by banishing the
modern map from ones mind"
If the history book lacks a map of
the world as the ancients thought
of it, or as Columbus believed it to
be, the teacher might make a copy.
crude, if necessary, of Ptolemy's map
of the world, or of the globe of Mar-
tin Behem who had probably seen a
copy of Tascanelli's chart. These
maps may be found in the larger his
tories.
1t is interesting to recount the va
rious influences that made possible
the daring project of Columbus.
Perhaps the most important infu-
ence was caused by the perusal OF
Marco Polo's book on Asia. The
notice In the text is so slight that
I quote from MI. Fiske and compile
from the appendix to the Discovery
of Irving:
""The book of Sir Marco Polo con-
corning the Kingdoms and Marvels
of the East is one of the most fam
Gus and most important books of
the middle ages. 1t contributed more
new facts toward a knowledge of the
earth's surface than any other book
that had ever been written before.
| Its author was the first traveller to
trace a route across the whole longi-
tude of Asia;' the first to describe
China in it's vastness, with it's i'm
mense cities, its manufacturers and
| wealth, and to tell, whether from
personal experience or direct hear
| say, of Thibet and Burmah, of Siam
and Cochin China, of the Indian
| Archipelago, with it's islands of
spices, of Java and Sumatra, and Of
the savages of Andaman. He knew
of Japan and the woful defeat of
the Mongols there, when they tried
to invade the island kingdom III
1881. $500. To the northward from
Persia he described the country of
the Golden Horde, whose khans were
holding Russia in subsection; and he
had gathered some information con-
corning Siberia"
