The SOUTH NOR ASLEEP.

Southern technical and trade jour
nails are loudly complaining that
comparatively few young men of the
south are taking uk technical educa-
ton. and that most OF those who do
are going to the north and west to
find employment. THIS condition is
mourned over. and Ne are assured
that all it is necessary for the south
to do to completely remedy it is to
wake up" Now. Assuming that we
have walked let u look at the situa-
ton a little. Wages for this class OF
enternrising, active, selected young
men are low in the south. and they
are subjected to a peculiar competi-
ton which will keep them low for
long time.
The northern schools. naturally
better than our own. Iof higher repu-
tation. whose diplomh Is carry greater
weight. are constantly turning out a
surplus of graduates. OF these q
large proportion aye fellows of deli
cate health and IN Sufficient strength,
SO that every eiof them who feels
unequal to contest with the rugged
and severe climate of his native re-
gion turns his eyes to the south. His
chief idea is to get where he can en-
dure the climate and receive benefit
TO his health-with tne hope of COM
plete restoration or finding a job
where his daily state will find him
equal to the work. Hence, with him,
wages are at first % tritiing consider
ation-but none the less his standard
of what he is willing to take and get
along with is great factor in de-
termining the wages of the class to
which he belongs
| Under this state of things the ac-
tive, vigorous, hopeful, qualified young
southerner buys his ticket to other
regions where he can have a better
show. There isNno remedy for this
condition of things. and 1t Is merely
treated here in the slight hope OF
putting an end to the cry to the south
to wake up" The south lis awake
and making progress in every direc-
ton and channel, Notwithstanding its
numerous handicaps. Wien one OF
its capitalists wants AM expert he
gets the best he can obtain for the
least money. When the capable young
man OF this section becomes an ex.
pert he goes where he can get the
most money for his services. There
seems to be no scarcity OF experts
in the south, though they may not be
all to the manor born. The south Is
not probably suffering from the lack
Of devotion to technical lines by its
young men, nor by their failure to
stay At home TO pursue their ayoca-
ifsAs
