The Birmingham News agrees with
The Times-Dispatch that lynching does
not prevent crime, but tends to in
crease crime by rallying the lawless
element and creating contempt of law.
1t also agrees with US that frequent
lynchlngs in the south have retarded
ct is true" says our contemporary,
southern progress.
the south has.made remarkable indus
trial and commercial development dur
ing the last decade or two. But tha-
was in spite of lynchings and other
law1essness. The great resources of
the south were so inviting that prog
ress necessarily followed. With the
abolition of lynching, however, thai
progress would have been eve great,
err"
But that" says The News in con-
clusion, sis the mereenary side of the
proposition. There is a more far
reaching side-the moral side-in
which is involved the proposition of a
higher civilization. lynching not only
fails to stop crime, but it encourages
and increases crime, thereby lowering
standards of civilization and blocking
progress in higher citizenship, while to
a large extent retarding material ad-
vancement. 1t will be a great day
for the south when all it's citizens
realize this"
The best element of the southern
do realize Ii, and are taking a
manly stand against lynching. The
press of the south is well1nigh unani-
nous in opposition to it. Almost eve
~ paper of any responsibility holds
the views expressed by the Birming-
ham News, and the press; is fairly rep
of public sentiment. Re-
Gently there was a lynching in Etowa
county, Alabama, wnereupon the bar
association of the county met and
adopted resolutions to The effect Lhat
the lynching was HMothing dess than
murder in it's vilest form and was
destructive of all law and order, as
we'll as of the great and saving princi-
pies of Christianity" and it urged all

awful spirit of taking the life0o + a hu-
man being without a trial under the

The better sentiment is growing
stronger leach year, and by aId by it
will prevail. 1t must prevail, Or the
mob will rule. There can be-no middle
ground.
However, let it be remarked in con-
c1usion, that this sort of aw}essaess is
NOT peculiar to the south, as the news
from Springfield, Ohio, abundantly tes-
ifes-Times Dispatch.

HON, WILLIAM T. HARRIS

Speaks at Yale Summer School on
 ."What is the Most Valuable Lesson
 to Learn at a Summer School.'
 The Hon. William T. Harris of Washington. D. C., last night addressed the teachers attending the summer school at Lampson lyeeum. His sub ject was What is the Most Valuable Lesson to Learn at Summer School?" After speaking at considerable length on education in general in which he re- viewed the work of the teacher from the kindergarten department up to the postgraduate course, Mir Harris said that as teachers could learn much by attending course at the Yale summer school they could learn much from the methods pursued in Yale college. The study of methods. he said, was one of the best things obtainable at summer school They could learn much from the professor who had made the mat ters they were studying a science. From them the ycould also learn methods and receive inspiration. They also had great opportunities and privileges for research, They could, for instance, avail themselves of the college libraries and thus gain knowledge and thus gain knowledge that might otherwise be diff ficult to find. They had also every chance for investigation into hte high CT branches of education and had an opportunity to see what the students were doing. He concluded by predicting much usefulness for the Yale summer school
