HOW TO ENCOURAGE A SPIRIT
 OF READING IN PUBLIC SCHOOL s
Rv Mrs. welsey wallace.

That Is the reason our country children know comparatively nothing, for the term Is short and when it is ended they lay aside their books almost forgetting what they have learned before time to resume their studies.
 If our teachers could get the chill dren to understand that their brains are mental money boxes and that they must strive each day to add something to their treasure store even the youngest child that Is capable of keep ing a money box feels that 1t is a blank week in which some pennies are not saved and can understand quite we'll that If no increase Is made to their treasure that 1t will remain just as 1t is.
 The smallest of our boys can under stand that his knife though made of the finest tempered steel. will rust and ruin If carelessly thrown around. Just so fair powers of intelligence and good abilities must fade and lose their keen edge unless continual use and intellectual effort preserve them.
 These mental money boxes can never be full. The cleverest people. both men and women. will tell you their educa- tion Is never complete as long as mem tai capacity lasts. Not even if they at- tain the allotted age of three score years and ten.
 : I do not say that education improves a mans morals, for I do not think 1t iS a question of morals at all. However. I think. being able to read. especially the Word of God, is conducive to better morals; but that Is not the point. The truth is that an uneducated man, how ever honorable and industrious, has the door of opportunity forever shut in his face. What public preferment can come to a man who can neither read nor write? What real opportunity can come to him in business? Absolutely none. Of course we all know of ln- stances where a man with great energy along with courage has triumphed in part over his condition and accumulat- ed a small stock of this worlds goods but how small it was In comparison with what he could have done with the same amount of energy and courage, had he been educated.
 We have now in Alabama. 2SS chill dren out of every thousand between the ages of ten and fourteen who cannot read What our position will be in 1910. the next census year. is alarming. Alabama stands at the foot with only two other States in the same boat with her, Louisiana and South Carolina.

But Alfred didn't need the cap. He mere- ly loaded the gun from an cid ammunf- ton case that went with it as a relic, filled the large nipple" with loose powder, and over this fixed an ordinary magnifying glass. When the sun. shin ing through that hole in the curtain, focused its rays upon the magnifier. the powder in the nipple was ignitsd and the gun went of.

He had been in my office that day and killed Henkel from the third-story window across tino way. He stood at the threshold, few minutes before. and failed to put an end to my music and life, simply bo- cause I had moved from my chair.

Now from my view point, the ques- tion is not how to get the children to read the books. but how to get the books for the children to read.
 My observation leads me to believe that if we will only give them the books that our reading problem Is solved.
 That is as far as I could go on that subject for I think that If the chil- dren must have their reading sugar coated, what they do along that line will never amount to much.
 Now for subject No. 2.
 How to have better country schools" :"
 My heart goes out to the country teacher and the country school That is our unsolved problem, for 1t is through the children in the country schools that our best work can be done toward uplifting the masses.
 When our school statistics tell us that the average school life of child in the South. Is three years; when these facts confront us. do we realize what they mean9
 If we could only get our country peo- ple to do away with the idea that they are not able to educate their children.
 Never can believe the pres ent system of school maintenance in Alabama logical, or can ever be made effective. We never appre- ciatA what we get for nothing. I be- lleve that every school should supple mant the public fund. z
 By supplementlng the public fund. the school term could be heightened. There Is not a school but that Is able to supplement the school fund. What we need is to be walked up to the fact that wa are able. Our country people are sound sleepers when 1t comes to sleeping over their educational needs.
 Are we all false prophets that our cries for better education are not heard? Will we never be able to call down the Divine fire of inspiration and consume this deplorable indifference that Is retarding the progress of edu- tion in the country districts?
 It is areflection on our country peo- ple that they will content themselves with what the State can do toward edu- eating their children.
 There are numbers of the country schools kept open as long as the pub lie funds last and then the school closes. That is the reason there Is such a scarcity of good teachers. The teachers can't afford to teach the short term schools and then remain idle the remainder of the year.
 You may be sure of one thing: we will never have better schools in the country until we have longer terms.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-03-31

Our school troubles are not all po- litical troubles. however. Our very trustees themselves will allow personal differences and unreasonable prejudices to stand as a hopeless barrier between the community and what they could do toward having a school that is worthy of the name.
 O. for county communities that could rise above little personal differences and prejudices and stand out of the way of the teachers and let them open wide the doors of instruction and then all join hands and work for better schools and longer terms.
 It has come to be an axiom at the Normal schools that the Individuality of a child must be preserved.
 With the many studies, crowded school room and multiplicity of classes, what country teacher can do this? feel almost ready to say that the coun- try schools should be restricted to the teacher hope to do with terms four months or at best five months long. and the average school life of a child three years?
 The way seems dark, but still there Is hope We have the children, the pre- cious children and we mothers and the teachers and the library workers can join hands ana set large inGluenc0 to work which can reach and develop the sleeping talents of our children. This is the mission of the book, the book of inspiration and power.
 Follow back the history of any great life; find out what element made that life great In almost every instance you will find 1t was not the ordinary schooling. but some sympathetic draw ing out of the faculties, an appeal to the imagination and the spirit within.
 Books are the telescopes and reflect ors and reverberators of our intellect ual life, holding in themselves a hum dred magical powers for overcoming space and time.
 There is no equal substitute for them. A bookless man does not understand his own loss; he does not know the Ieanness of his own mind. His thoughts and imaginations are starved; his world is no larger than his ears can hear and his eyes can see. Oh, the wonderful power of good books! The embodied souls of men that are given to help us to live Not by bread alone, but by every Word of God"
 Let us say with the Fourteenth Gen. tury Book Lover:
 You, O Books, are the golden vessels of theTemple the arms of the clerical Militia with which the missiles of the wicked are destroyed, faithful Olives. Vines of Engadi. fig trees knowing no sterility, burning lamps to be ever held in the hand"

MEMORIAL COLLEGE
SUGGESTION MADE TO VETERANS
 AND THEIR SONS.
Industrial Institution for the Education of White
 Children


 The United Confederate Veterans and | tho Seas of Veterans will be memor- alized at their New Orleans reunion to aid in the building of Memorial Col | lege for Southern white children out ! of respect to the women of the South. A letter has been received by Dr, l Thomas M Owen, Commander in Chief | of the Sons of Veterans, calling on him to assist in this work. The movement
 has already been organized and the promoters of the movement say that | if the Veterans and Sons build the coll | Iege, the woman will see to It's endow- ment and support.
 The letter received by Dr. Owen Is as | follows:
 Park Avenue Hotel, New York, March 27, 1908.
 Hon. Thomas M. Owen, Commander in-Chief:
 Southern Industrial Educational Asso- citation, have the honor of presenting toryou, to lay before the Veterans and Sons of Veterans at their meeting in New Orleans in April, the following suggestion and earnest appeal in re- gard to the proposed monument to the women of the South, to which we earn estly ask your and their serious con- sideration. In deference to the almost unlVGISdl ODJGCllOA lo d SHdlL UT tO any kind of a monument in bronze or stone by the women of the South, we do ask and urge that the proposed monument will not be a shaft, nor a monument of any kind In bronze or stone, but that 1t may take the form of an industrial college.
 Such a monument would be the noblest memorial they could erect. If they desired, there could be lofty .F. n1 q of a Southern woman, with a tablet dedicating it to the women of the Con- federacy. Such a monument with it's great purpose apd lasting results would challenge the admiration of the world. situated in lands for agricultural train ing, 1t could be made self-supportinE by the numerous industries that could be developed. Vegetables. fruits, bees, butter. poultry, etc, woodworking and numerous handcrafts and occupations open to women and men. If the Vet erans will build this Memorial College our Association will work for It's en- dowment an1 maintenance.
 we have already one annual schol- arship from the Southern Club of the Columbia University which the Club has requested to be placed in the Me- norial College to women, should that college be built by the Veterans, and I feel sure that hundreds of others will be forthcoming to its support and endowment We know how sweet the sentiment. and dear the thought that prompts the desire for a shaft or figure. but remember the desire of those whom you seek to honor and build a memo rial which they will love and honor you for. Most. sincerely yours, Martha 8. Giolow ''of Greensboro. Ala. ',President General of Southern Indus trial Educational Association. in-

 The fishermen of Northumberland have been stricken with consternation by the appearance in those waters of a strange sea monster, a sort of jelly fish. blood red in color. and about the sizs of the top of an ordinary cheese box. It differs from other medusae in that 1t has no power to sting.
 Unresistingly borne by the rushing tides, 1t strikes the mouth of the bag net or pound in which the fish are en- trapped Here the tentacles. cling to- each side Of the opening and completely close 1t.
