Refreshing.

So much is written and spoken about the lack of
proper educational facilities in the Southern States
and the writer's and orators usually show so little
appreciation and knowledge of what the South has
accomplished in the face of great difficulties, that
it is apeasdre to discover entirely different spirit
in an article in the Yale Alumni Weekly on the re-
suits of trip made last summer through this section
by Professor Sheath, of Yale College, Connecticut.
He called upon upon nearly all the city and State
Superintendent of public instruction, attended a
number of educational conventions, and met many
teachers and principals The result that he is not
only pleased but g enthusiastic. He says he was
much impressed with the excellent spirit of South
ern educators and the praiseworthy character of
their work. Referring to the public school system
of the Southern States Prof. Sheath says
''They have done great things there during the
last quarter of century. In the face of tremen-
dous difficulties they have built up an excellent
system of public instruction. This has called for
much sucrifce on the part of the Southern people.
But they were willing to make it, Deprived of
nearly everything but moral courage by the civil
war, and with no system Of public schools in ex-
istence they created good system in every State.
They have triumphed economic, industrial,
social racial difficulties, and have given both the
whites and blacks equal educational advantages.
take my hat off literally and fgurately to such a
people, and all ought to be thankful for such a
notable achievement
Those accustomed to the wailings of the Southern
Education Board-a Northern concern with some
Southern membership probably rub their eyes
and look again to make sure when they read this
utterance which is no less just than it is apppre
ciative.-Mocon Ga. Telegraph.

Editorial in Arcadia CLa.) Argus
1t has been more than twenty five years since the
first discovery of the health giving properties of the
waters obtained by sinking wells in the valley be-
tween the chain of mountains in Palo Pinto, County,
Texas at what is now famous as the city of Mineral
Wells. At the date of this discovery that section
of country had no railroad facilities, was wild and
barren and isolated from the world In time people
began to settle there the fame of the waters began
slowly to spread, the nucleus of town was formed
and ere long the attention of few outside people
was directed to the wonderful possibilities there.
The Texas and Pacific Railroad Company, with a
trans continental line across the State of Texas and
passing within few miles Of the location of these
wells, caused the building Of what is practically
branch line, the Weatherford, Mineral Wells and
Northwestern Railroad, running from Weatherford
to Mineral Wells distance Of 81 miles. The OPEN
ing of this line, offering rstclass transportation
facilities to the wells atonce gave the place renewed
impetus. Sinking Of wells and erection of houses
and town building became the order. AS the outside
world became acquainted with the virtues of the
waters the town substantially increased in popua-
ton and permanent upbuilding, the number of Wis
itors from year to year grew from scattering few
to thousands annually and from local fame Mineral
resort.
For the people of the South, particularly of Lou
isiana and Texas, Mineral Wells is the logical con-
clusion of all speculation where to 60 for health
for recreation, for change of climate and for rest
With the ample facilities provided by the Texas and
Pacific route and with the two special trains each
way between Dallas and Mineral Wells, the city is
easily accessible by rail- With population of about
five thousand and with hotel and boarding house
equipment sufficient to accommodate twice as many
visitors, with prices of board mineral waters baths
and all other necessities at minimum the price OF
health is not above the man of meagre means. And
Mineral Wells "has the goods Of the tens OF
thousands who go there every year, the vast ma
jority gladly testify to the virtues Of the waters in
various diseases of the human flesh The many
waters all show merit under analysis and each well
has its numerous testimonials for the particular
class of disease for which its waters are indicated
and while there are numerous diseases for which
none of these waters prescribed or recommended
yet the percentage of cures in others is probably
twice as great that of any other health resort or
earth

Faith is great comforter and it is better to have
too much than too little faith in humanity in general
and in particular who have made good and
great names for themselves. The simple minded
and ingenious may suffer occasionally from putting
faith in the unfaithful but they will in general get
more enjoyment out of life than their more prudent,
distrustful or cynical neighbors.

It is our duty to surround the growing boy or girl
with as many influences for good as possible. The
school training should be thorough, even though it
should not be carried very far DEFICIENCIES in that
respect may be made up in after life, provided
good foundation has been laid. But above all, the
training of social life should be made wholesome
and elevating. The town, city, parish or State
which has done its duty in promoting educational
influences be justly proud of those of its sons
who may have distinguished themselves; SO also
the schools and colleges may share in the honors
won by their graduates. The influences of training
are far-reachng, and, though we may not be able
to say just what they have beeain determining the
course of individual, we should aim at least to
make them wholly sound and wholesome.
