To his zeal and patriotism America
is indebted for the recovery of the
body of John Paul Jones. General
Porter'S own story of the search for
the body is published in the October
Century.

bassy in Paris and finding myself
among the old landmarks which are
still honored there as recalling the
many historic incidents in the sojourn
of Paul Jones in that brilliant CAPT.
tai, / felt a deep sense of humiliation
as an American citizen in realizing
that our first and most fascinating
naval hero had been lying for more
than century in an unknown and
forgotten grave and that no successful
attempt had ever been made to recover
his remains and give them appropriate
sepulture in the land upon whose his
tory he had shed so much luster.-
From General Horace Porter's THE
Recovery of the Body of John Paul
Jones' in the October Century.

the first time, in the October Century
the story of this search, the obstacles

come from the presses of the b. y.
Johnson Publishing Company, Rlcn-

The author is Prof. Edwin 3
Sheppe. the well-knOwn Superlntend-
ent of the Enfield Graded Schools, ana
recognized throughout the state as
one of our ablest and most progressive
educa tors. In the Primary Book Pro-
fessor Sheppe, whose name is now TO

he has undertaken. good Speiief Is

unusual claim ~ make Tor speliei /,
but as the publishers have SAFE, IL Is
an unusual speller. This after all
is perhaps its strongest point mere

Islge is interesting.
The purpose of the series, as stated
nv the author is to enable the begin
ner to recognize readily ana TO pro-
uounce accurately the various word
forms found in his reader; to teach
the spelling, meaning and use OF words
necessary for a. sound education; ana
to bridge the gap between the spell
ing book and the dictionary. In the
First Section phonic drill-hsts are used
to aid the beginner in giving TO eacn
letter or combination of letters IN
words it's proper sound value, ana
thus teach him to pronounce words
at sight. AS a further aid to the
mastery of "the strange and devious
ways of English photography. the I'M
portant law of association of like with
like is utilized by grouping words, as
far as possible, according to Doth
regularity and similarity of spelling.
Throughout the book the principle OF
learning to know by doing is constant
ly exemplitied.
1t is especially interesting TO note
that the gap which exists between
the ordinary .,elling book and the
dictionary, and which has proved to
be an almost insurmountabie obsta-
Gle to the pupil even with the help or

for it's absence The series actually

ed the production of the "Clansman
last night. He said today:
II am glad L saw the play, for L
had formed an incorrect opinion OF
it from what / had heard about 1T. 1t
is hard for the young white people to
realize that Northern people, our own
flesh and blood. could have found 1t
in their hearts to humiliate the best
people of the South, by putting us
under the heel of the worst element
of the negro race. / never blamed the
negro, for he was ignorant, and was
led by carpet baggers and scallaWags
| could never find 1T in my heart to
punish the poor negro, but have seen
the time when 1 would have been
willing to have tied a rope craVat
around the white men who led them,
and there are men here today, who,
like myself, slept on double barrel
led gun in the old city hall for the
protection of our homes.
''The good negro, and the one whom
we loved in our childhood, is seen IN
the play, and the same class are to-
day our friends, and the friends of
law and order. The younger element
of both races can see why the whites
and the blacks are wide apart. The
play is destined to have a great run,
and while it may stir up little feel
ing in both races. it is a truthful rep
resentation in many respects, and to
nv dying day, I'll thank God that he
put it into the hearts of our people
to form a 'Ku Klux Khan 1t took
brave men to undertake it, and but for
the power it yielded, we would not to-
day be the prosperous and happy peo-
pie that we are. 1t was the saliva

say it. our Northern brethren DELHI
erately stood and looked on, never
lifting a hand or voice to help us
All that we are, as people today,
is due to that pluck which never fail

Cold Harbor and Malvern Hill, and
did not when the trying days of re-
construction (worse than war, IL any

to the loyal, loving and faithful old
negroes of ante-bellum days. and l
can wish for their children no greater
good to them than to come back and
