schools this year shall
attire themselves in simple white
frocks for the commencement xer
cises. 1t is especially desired by
the authorities that the frocks shall
be plainly made and of inexpensive
material. This theSavannah Morn
ing News regards as a very COM
mendable regulation, and one that
should be adopted throughout the
length and breadth of the land.
Continuing upon this timely topic
the News further says:
"There have probably been more
heart burnings and tears on account
of graduating dresses than any 9th
er detail of school girl life. In
the public schools the majority of
the pupils are the children of pa
rents only meagerly supplied with
this worlds goods. The parents
cannot afford to provide them with
finery. In many instances they
find it rather hard to meet the cost
of books and stationery and keep
the children in neat raiment.
"But the little folks are, never
theless, very sensitive. When they
see other children trigged out III
finer clothes, especially on an i'm
pOrtant occasion like commence
ment, their feelings are deeply
wounded, They feel that they art
in a measure disgraced and are the
objects of uncomplimentary com
ment. Nor is there any use argu
ing to the contrary with child.
''The far better plan, therefore
is to put them all upon the same
footing, in simple, plain white
| frocks for the exercises. For {
few dollars such a frock can bt
procured, and in, it the child o.
poor parents will feel at ease if she
sees all of her classmates similarly
dressed. Almost anything that
will eliminate the lines of class
distinction in the public schools is
a step in the right direction. There
should be no lines of demarkatiOI
between rich and poor, or the bank
er's daughter and the shoemaker''
daughter.
"Distinction in the public schools
should be for merit solely"

AMERICAN CHURCHES.

On the point of sailing for Europe
a few days ago, DR.. G. Campbell Nor
gan. the noted English evangelist, who
was until lately the successor to
Dwight l.. Moody. paid his respects to
the American churches in this man
ner:
THE American church does not seem
to be much more than a social Organi-
zation now. It's members spend more
time developing along social lines than
they do along spiritual lines. The
business man, the influential Chris
ton and others do not do their duty
Wrapped up in their own AFFAIRS, or
busy in the pursuit of frivolity they
lose track of the way and forget the
pledges they made to their church.
Evidently this great preacher has
splendid churches of the United States
by the churches of New York city.
where he labored constantly several
months, or Chicago, which city he
visited a few times. DR.. Morgan has
never been to any other Southern
city than Atlanta, and while there he
spoke in only one church, this being
during religious conference. His
experience in America Noq been con-
fined almost absolutely to either Chris
tan conferences or big reWivals, and
the only knowledge of the American
churches he gained was in New York
city where the churches practically
close their doors for the summer
months.
Certainly DR.. Morgan has little
knowledge of the Southern churches.
He makes serious blunder in en-
deavoring to give q unitv to all the
various denominations and faiths,
which may no more be done than he
may write the infinite kinds of secret
societies with the adjective ''Ameri
can" and noun attached. 1t is a
pity that DR.. Morgan cannot see some
of the little churches that be-star
every valley and hill, and crown every
village and city in North Carolina.
Besides seeing in them men who love
their fellowmen and fear God, he
would appreciate that there is more
God about them than building, and
in them more love than social inclina-
lions, adding loves beatific glory, grace
and power. 1t would do DR.. Morgan
good to come South.

John HAYS Sense OF HumOf.
Leslie's Weekly.
We have received from a source OF
undoubted authenticity a copy of the
following little rhyme by the late John
Hay, written about 80 years ago, when
he was acting as editor of the New
York Tribune, being entitled, in that
capacity. to the courtesy of a tele-
graph frank. The occasion or MS
writing this poem was in connection
with a request for renewal of his an
nuaI pass that had expired with the
old year We believe that this ettu-
sion has not before seen the light Of
print. and we offer it to our readers
as additional evidence, if any were
needed, of the natural humor in Mr..
HAYS disposition, that had already
found expression in Jim Bludso' and
Little Breeches,' and that was ready
at all times to find vent for the inter-
est or amusement of his friends:
I'd rather ride a balky ass,
Or lose my hook to a big black bass,
Or stand a Acknowledgements sass,
Or dine on nothing but blue grass,
Or share King Nebuchadnezzar's grass
Than carry around a last years pass.
Them's my sentiments.

sea and to forestall any objection that
power might be apt to make in case
the Japanese saw fit to enter the wa
ters. The incident created the great
est excitement in Germany and in Rus
STA, and for awhile there was variety
of the widest press chatter on world
politics, the ground being even taken
that the Baltic should by coalition of
the powers on its shores be made into
a mare clausum." England at length
came along with the stereotyped off,
cial statement of the utter lack of sig
niticance in the forthcoming visit and
the incident passed along with the IN
Vulnerable rumors of war which con-
stantly fill the continental press. At
the same time the English fleet Will
go to the Baltic. and if Japan should
later decide to do SO. there would be
left to Germany no logical ground of
objection.
At any rate the theory is a pretty
one; and Japanese in the Baltic would
appear strangely to the world at large,
however logically Japan might argue
that it was the natural thing. But
then the Japs care little for precedent
or racial prejudices.
