Offering as an excuse the fact that The Sat
urday Evening Post" a Philadelphia weekly
has called the Southern cotton planters trail
tors, and The New York Times" spoke Of them

and the eloquent newspapers Of the South are
not slow about retorting in kind upon cotton
bears who populate the northern half of this
country, Mason and DixOns line being now
the boundary between cotton bears and cot
ton bulls In such stirring times it is hard to
keep silence.
First we want TO assure the South from
near observation of it that this so-called panic
was not got up for the special purpose OF
hearing cotton two cents on the pound. Not
one of the banks and trust companies that sus-
pended did with an eye on the cotton mar

tR cORTELyOU,S ADDRESS.


Perhaps no part of Secretary CorteyOu's excel
lent address to the Merchants Association was
fuller of wisdom and forest ght than that in which
he adjured citizens to stop boarding. His plea was
not addressed merely to depositOrs who simply
as a precautiOn or for the sake Of exacting
profit have been keeping more cash than usual
on hand for their own use or locked up for an
expected premium, but meant for the
banker, the merchant and the business world at
large as well. When the banker, so as to be in
a little securer position than he ordinarily deems
imperative, calls in his loans and refuses money
to solvent concerns he is contracting credit,
making his run on business and boarding in
his way, Just as truly as the little depOsitor
who is scolded for his pusillanimity. When the
merchant sails somewhat closer to the wind than
usual and cancels all or part of his orders from
the manufacturer as to be on the safe side
he is boarding in his way. When the manu-
facturer blows out some of his furnaces and de
cides to cut down his production he is affected
with the same boarding spirit They all lay off
labor and diminish the market for their own
products and those of every one else.
1T is a time" said Mr.. COrtelyOu. when
every citizen should assume his share of the
burden The boarding of money, the eXaction
of unnecessarily harsh requirements in business
dealings but retard our return to normal con
'ditions."
1t is to this spirit that Mr.. C0rtelyou ad-
dresses himself, and be points out the wise and
patriotic course. Cooperation, he says. is what
the situation needs. A selfish effort on the part
of each to save himself without regard to others
aggravates the danger of any period Of business
recession. and that is the boarding spirit in its
various manifestations. Of cooperation we
have had splendid illustration in the action
of the New York banks If each had stood apart
trying TO save itself and letting the devil take
the hindmost there is no knowing where the
run would have ended. We should probably
have had the widest depositors' panic in his
tory. But the stronger institutions supported
the weaker. Those well huttressed by reserves
took over loans from those whose management
had been less proyident Those in which there
was general confidence let it be published to the
world that they stood with all their resources
back of the solvent institutions whose depcstOrs
were radng them in alarm. Thus by co-opera-
ton the situation was saved. and there was in
that cooperation the finest kind of enlightened
selfishncsS' The banks have a clear enough per-
ception of the solidarity of their interests and
sufficient organization to act together in an
emergency, making the cause of one the cause of
all and the defence of one the defence of all.
II is beyond the banks that Mr. CorteIyou
would see this effective co-operation used--in
the support of credit all along the line and in
the maintenance OF business. He would have
the banker see that the defence of the credit OF

HOllEuADE TEXTBOOKS.

The gospel of seIf-heIp never found stur-
Gier champion than Mr.. Nathan 5. Jonas, the
member Of the New York City Board of Edu-
cation who offered q resolution at the last
meeting of that body recommending that school
superintendent be required to write the schoo,
textbooks and turn them over to the board for
publication. Mr. Jonas is evidently weary of
seeing authors and publishers reap huge profits
from such simple things as: This is a cat" and
'2X2@4" and washington is the Father of His
Country" He deplores the hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars annually squandered upon the
private owners Of such puerile platitudes,
and so proposes the simplest solution mag
Unable. Let those whom we are paying liber-
ally to manage our schools furnish the peda-
Eogical literature.
The aim of this self-help programme is not
the production of improved textbooks. but the
reduction of current expenses. OF good ele-
mentary textbooks in all departments of in
fantile lore there is rich and abundant variety
the market. The only trouble with them is
their price Writers and printers are stubborn
enough TO insist upon reaping financial benefit
from the publications, being in that respect like
the men who sell real estate for school sites
and the contractors who build schooIhouses.
While checking the greed of the book pro-
GucerS might not Mr.. Jonas kill several birds
with one stone by amending his resolution so
TO make 1t incumbent upon the school of
tlcials to erect buildings and furnish all other
educational supplies? Any intelligent teacher
can learn how to make ink. Away, then, with
the rapacious statiOners A school principal,
If supplied with the proper raw materials by
the board, ought to be able to turn out re-
spectacle blackboards, wall charts, lead pencils
and desks after a little practice and experiment
During the long summer vacations the army OF
ianitors have nothing TO do but draw salaries;
therefore let them be put to work building new
schoohouses. AS for the finer work of con-
structIon, the interior and exterior decorations
at least, might easily be planned and executed
10y the women teachers possessed Of artistic
temperaments
After a few years experience in self-help the
teaching corps would doubtless develop among
its members q choice band of geniuSeS who
could not only rule and instruct mothers dar-
lings during school hours but also unwearied by
that toll, manufacture pianos. bells and fur
naces for the Board of Education Naturally,
inferior TO those made by experts who give
all their time and thought TO perfecting their
respective specialtles And 1t might be diff
cult TO secure fire and accident Insurance for
homemade schoolhouses. But we must remem-
Der the great ends which would be attained. For
their sake. we may be sure. all superintendent,
principals. teachers and janitors will gladly
work evenings and through vacations without
extra pay.
