WHERE PARENTS
TAKE MISTAKES.

In days gone by the school girl
wore short dresses and braided her
4 hair and remained a girl until her
education was completed. In these
latter times it is difficult to deter
mine when girl becomes a wo-
man and enters into society. Ey-
en- the little tots in the lower
grades are used in society func-
tons and trained in society ways,
and by the time they have reached
the high school, society has such a
strong hold upon them that books
and lessons are sadly neglected.
Society and schools are incom-
patible and it is either one or the
other. The two can never become
reeoneiled. The student who at
tends some social function in the
evening is not fit for school the fol-
lowing day. Lessons are necessa-
rily neglected and the mind has
become so distracted that it is not
IN receptive condition for the
truths and principles presented by
the teacher and scarcely does the
Ill effect of one society event pass
away until another is presented,
and thus the pupil goes through
the period of high school work,
deriving very little benefit from
the time thus spent.
In order to educate the mind
there must be concentration of
thought and whatever disturbs or
.destroNes this concentration re-
tards and obstructs the natural de-
velopment. Hence the pupil
should be guarded from all excite
ment and from everything that
has tendency to detract the mind
away from theregular school work.
OF course, recreation is an abso-
lutte necessity, bat the proper re-
creation IS not furnished by socie-
ty events of modern social Gus
toms. Il Is natural that all parents
should desire the highest possible
good for their offspring, and a
thorough education is essential TO
success as well as happiness, and
youth is unquestionably the prop
.er time for securing the necessary
intellectual development.
In the light of these things, it is
strange that fathers and mothers
will permit their children while
yet in school to develop into soci-
ETY. devotees. Unquestionably
there is enough Of worry. excite
ment and disappointment in mod
ern society to get enough OF such
necessary evil, though it be post
poned as long as possible. Many
a girl is old in the ways of society
and is actually faded and worn by
the time she is we'll grown up. The
English are wiser in these things
than are the Americans and regu-
late their households with better
Judgment, and perhaps we will in
time learn from them how to con-
troll these things.
If mothers more thoroughly I'M
derstood that they are doing their
daughters a positive injury by Civ
ing their consent to that which
dissipates the strength both men
tally and physically, the teachers
would have strong allies in every
home.

RAIN BROUGHT RELIEF
IN COAST COUNTIES

Brunswick, Ga, Nov. 2.-For the first
time in over two months this section
of the state was visited by heavy
rain to-day, and it was welcomed by
the people generally.
The drought has been unprecedented
and considerable damage has been
done in this and nearby counties. Re
ports received in the city yesterday
were to the effect that cattle were dy-
ing over the county for the want of
water and grass. On account of the
dry spell the growth of grass has been
greatly reduced, and cattle, which has
been grazing on grass alone for
years, is suffering considerably.
In Wayne county the condition is
said to be serious. The Turtle river,
for the first time in twenty years, is
reported to be absolutely dry. The
river Is fresh water stream and
farmers have been watering their stock
there for years. Usually, at this sea-
son of the year, the river is from one
to three feet deep, but now, around
Waynesville, there is not a drop of
water in the river.
Wells, which have never before been
dry, are not giving a drop of water,
and the people, as well as cattle, is
suffering as a result The rain to-
day, however, being very heavy one,
will no doubt help conditions.

TON OF DYNAMITE
SHOOK THE TOWN.
Exploded with Disastrous Results

Exploded with Disastrous Results
at Mt. Vernon, N. v.
Mt. Vernon. N. Y, Nov. 2.-The ex-
plosion of over a ton of dynamite un-
der the Bond street bridge here at
O'Clock to-day shook the city and the
surrounding country within a radius
Of five miles. probably killed at least
one person and injured nearly forty
others, two of whom may die.
The man supposed to have been kill
ed was an Italian in charge of the
dynamite. He was seen at his post
Of duty just before the explosion, and
no trace Of him has since been found.
There were 1890 pounds of dynamite
stored at the side of a deep rock cut,
which was used for blasting a path
for additional tracks. The explosion
tore a hole I'm the ground eighty feet
deep that is now full of water from
hidden spring. wrecked the Bond
street bridge over the railway tracks
and broke all the windows within a
quarter Of a mile.
The force Of the explosion, as is US
ual, was downward but the up
heaval along the sides Of the cut hurl-
ed large stones for blocks. Many
houses were shifted from their founda-
tions, walls were stripped. Of plaster
and furniture was spllntered.
Most Of the injured were caught by
falling ceilings and walls in the
houses near by. Stoves in stores ana
dwellings were overturned and many
fires were started, but in each case the
flames were quickly extinguished.

rested William f. Ryan, foreman OF

hour later the entire city was aroused
and excited.
Before the extent of the damage was
known, and while 1t was thought that
perhaps the members of the Peoples
family were the only ones who had lost
their lives, cries of distress were
heard farther down the street.
The thousands of gallons of water
that flowed from the reservoir formed
pond in the vicinity, and 1t was
thought that several persons might
have been drowned in this. The City
Council met and decided to drain the
pond In order to recover any bodies
that might lie beneath the water.
The reservoir was situated about flve
blocks from the center of the business
district of the city, and was surround
ed by a number of residences and
several small stores. 1t is understood
that the structure had been condemn
ed. but the. city authorities had failed
