erable space is given to comparison
of the illiteracy among the people oi
the Southern States. The editor, III
commenting on this says:
Mississippi recently made liberal
appropriation for popular education.
although it already has the smallest
per cent of iliteracy among the
whites, and the negro majority in the
State Is in the neighborhood of 10000.
1t might be thought that the small per
centage of illiteracy among the whites
in n black State" such as Mississippi
is due to the fact that in such State
the white employer class Is relatively
larger and the white laborlng class
relatively smaller than in other
States. But the figures for South
Carolina, another black State, show
a larger percentage of white iliteracy
than Is found in Virginia, Georgia,
Florida or Arkansas, all of which have
considerable white maiorites Great
interest in education would therefore
seem to be the main cause OF Mlssis-
sppi's enviably low percentage OF
white illiteracy.
Most OF our teachers, particularly
those In the primary departments.
will agree heartily with the editor OF
the Kindergarten Magazine, who says:
"Thc book has been for too long
time the sole instrument Of education.
To admit its inadequacy is not to un-
derrate It's value. Time was when ed
ucation in a very large sense was pos
sible without il. II Is not yet an in

New Zealand.

New Zealand is the interesting coun.
try to which economists refer when
they wish to prove any old thing.
1t is situated good way from any
where.
In New Zealand political corruption
is unknown, and yet it Is unfair to
conclude from this that the people
there don't know much. -.
There are no very rich persons in
New Zealand, and while there are
newspapers, these necessarily contain
no society column in the true sense.
New Zealand has no submerged
tenth, no help problem and no trusts
But there is the weather, and stomach
troubles arc beginning to come in, so
that conversation can be kept up, after
a fashion,
Many educated New Zealanders
think imperaly, but the masses still
fancy Aristotle bigger man then Joe
Chamberlain and cling suporstitiously
to the old egories.-Puck.

an increased attendance, In many
cases the attendance is only governed
by the capacity to care for students
This shows that the State is very

that more money is spent here fol

"Old Folks Day was observeds yesterday at
the Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church. Sew
enth-ave. and ne-hundred-and- -twenty-ninth-
St The pastor the Rev. DR. Charles L. Goode
had invited not only those aged persons who are
members Of the church. but several from homes
for aged people in Harlem and others. without
regard to creed, whom he thought would appre-
ciate such service He saw TO 1t that those
who desired were brought 10 the church in vehi-
cles. Among these was a big automobile tour
ing car owned by John S. Huyler. the candy
manufacturer who is one OF the members OF
the Calvary Church.
The lowering skies and continual showers did
not prevent several score of people who had
passed threescore and ten and some even OF
fourscore years from being present. All Of them
were tenderly looked after and seated in tho
main part of the church. where they could hear
the sermon and enjoy the service to the fullest
extent.
Aside from the sermon. which was directed
especially to them, the old people enjoyed the
music. which was arranged by the choir direc-
tor, Mr. Cornell to include wholly hymns and
anthems popular thirty or forty years ago. and
which are comparatively seldom used in church
services now. The hymns. Jerusalem the Gold
en- Going Home and The Saints Home"
and the anthem, Pillars Of the Earth" and a
solo, There's Beautiful Land on High" were
the old people. The last hymn. The Saints
Home" which is set TO the tune Of Home
sweet Home, was sung principally by the
vested choir. including fifty children, in process
sional through the church.
DR.. Goodell talked TO the old people on THE
Duties and Compensations Of Old Age" II feel
to-day that I have attained the dignity OF a
court preacher" he said. "A court preacher IS
one who breaches TO crowned heads and II is
said sald IN the scriptures that hoary head is
crown OF glory, If it be accompanied with right
eousness, so / am preaching to crowned heads
who deserve their crowns Of glory far more than
any or the crowned heads Of Europe' He told
the old people that among their duties were
those OF taking good care Of their bodies and
minds ana OF keeping abreast Of the times even
as they had done in their Younger davs Hs ~

an awful dream. vet when we look at the cries Of
JOY uttered by millions Of slaves who had re-
gained their freedom. no matter what we
thought then. we know what God meant. Take
the Spanish war that We all remember. Some
think that It Was a war waged in vindication Of
our honor for the sinking Of the Maine. which
now lies rotting in Havana Bay. 1t was Sen
ator Thurston who told the reason when he told
i'm the Senate of the twenty thousand men,
women and children starving under the iron heel
Of Spanish rule. Thank God this nation had the
courage 10 wage that war! These two wars have
placed this country where it stands to-day

Too much collar looks as bad as
too little collar feels.
Yet, if your neck happens to be
somewhere between the usual half
inch sizes, your collar must be one
thing or the other, unless you split
the difference with a quarter size.
So it's no wonder that the intro
duction of quarter size collars has
been a great success with outfitters
who cater to a particular custom.
If you haven't tried them yet you
