lcges Of the shop, were those OF the
average boy OF that community. have
related these circumstances to show
that as | now look back on those years
of my boyhood am persuaded the tdu-
cation and training | received ont OF
school gave me better grasp OF the
problems OF real human life and did
more to attach me to the cOmmunity'S
interests than the education and train
ing ! received in school.
Very many OF those opportunities for
learning the elements Of carpentry,
harnesS-making, bIacksmithing, dairy
ing, carpet weaving and dozen other
useful arts are gone, with no substitute
Tor them. Hence, my conclusion, as
peSslmlStc as it may seem. is that the
boys and girls OF the present day have
not the skill and handicrait, the knowl-
edge of the useful arts, the develop
ment for independent manhood and
womanhood and the attachment to
community life as those OF half cen.
fury ago. This is not the worst OF it.
\ large majority OF the boys in this
State live in cities and towns where
they are cut off from these side issues"
OF practical education They have no
gardens to cultivate, no axes to grind
no wood to cut, no cows to milk. no
doors to hang or boards to nail. With
them nothing but school work and play.
Now, let's say they work 25 per cent.
and sleep 80 per cent. OF the day. This
leaves A. per cent. for play and idle
ness They don't need all this for play.
nor will it be used that way. Then. per
hapS they are idlers the balance OF
the time, because under the enforced
change OF conditions there is nothing
for them to do. Is it any wonder il
they fall into evil WAYS In this age Of
invention, OF large combinations OF
capital and labor. OF new industries and
OF new economic adjustments there
must be something doncto bring our
pupils back to nature and to natures
God, so that when they reach the aren't
OF manhood and womanhood they may
be better adjusted to what we are
pleased to call civilization, progress
and business.

Speeches Delivered
At Calvert High
School Exercises

CAPTAIN SILVESTER'S ADDRESS
Prof. R. w. Sylvester, president OF
the Maryland Agricultural College,
spoke as follows on Agricultural High
Schools in Maryland":
This is to be a red-letter day in the
annals OF the history OF the public
schools OF Maryland: What is its signi-
ficance? Does it not mean that the en-
lightened public sentiment of the peo-
pie OF Cecil County has successfully
launched the first agricultural high
school in the State? The functions of
this school, as | understand them, are
to articulate those in attendance with
their rural environment To give them
a wider outlook up II and deeper in
sight into those scientific principles
which vitalize every agricultural opera
ton.
No man or woman can do his or her
work without that training which gives
every act purpose to attain a definite
result With those thus equipped de-
sirable end is seen from the beginning
With this training, enthusiasm in the
work and its beneficient accompani-
mentS are necessarily the result.
You gentlemen OF the School Board
Of Cecil are not treadng an unbiased
path. The work has been most success
fully commenced in many OF the West
rem States as we'll as in some OF the
Southern States In Georgia, | am
given to understand, by recent legisla-
tive enactment, the opportunity is al
forded each county OF the State to eS-
tablish centrally located agricultural
high school II these schools are
manned by such men as theone whose
services you have been fortunate to
secure, who can iorctell the aspect OF
Georgia agriculture in the life OF the
present generation? WisconSin's proud
pre-emincnce in agricultural progress
within the past decade is tracablc to the
work of her agricultural high schools.
This State has many radiatlng IN
fuences operating to arrest the dan
gerous rural DRIFT which is so much in
evidence in every section of the United
States. Thoughtful men everywhere see
imminent danger to city as well as to
country in this growing tendency. You
all will agree with me that the danger
menaccS urban as well as rural cOndi
tons. The agricultural high schools,
uilucI proper management seem ~ Vi
fer a counter influence in this growing
evil
The State OF Marland, has, by lcgis-
lative enactment, made it possible to
establish manual training in each OF
the "a counties OF the State. Manual
training is so necessary to the success
full prosecution OF any form OF agri-
cultural work that it seems that these
two features could be most success
fully combined in each county, and
thus lay the foundation OF a county
high school in which the training would
be based primarily upon the scientific
principles vtalizing these two depart
ments of human activity.
Certainly, il the people OF Maryland,
through their representatives in the
legislature deemed it wise to appro-
pirate ST. 500 annually for the teaching

IMPORTATION FOR BREEDERS.


College Station, Texas, January
3o.-Breeders of livestock through
out the State are often handicapped
in their endeavors to obtain infor-
nation concerning the breeding or
pedigree of certain animals. Know
ing that few breeders have access to
the breed records in which such
animals are registered. the animal
husbandry department of the Texas
A. and NJ. College will, at the re-
quest of any breeder, send him any
desired information concerning the
breeding or pedigree Of any animal
recorded in any of the breed re.
cords in its possession. II will only
be necessary for the department to
know the name and registration
number of the animal and the breed
to which it belongs in order to fur.
nish such information. No charge
will be made for this service.

THE MARKETS.
Special to The Eagle.

Special to The Eagle.
Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan.
7s.-The market last week was a
rRrtlon of that of the previous
week, market high first two days,
and gradually becoming more life
less each day during the week, fin-
ally closing slow and dull but with
out much net loss for the week.
Today's market is also like that OF
last Monday, a small run OF cattle
in the Native division and prices
strong to 10 higher. Eighteen cars
comprise the offerings in the quar-
antine division today, composed
mainly of fair to good medium
weight fed steers, selling at $3.50
to s4.7s. No steers above 1900
lbs. in weight have been included
in the quarantine division lately
and no full test Of the limit OF pric-
es there has been made. Fed steers
of 900 lbs. and under sell at $3.50
to SASS, fed cows at S3.IS to $685.
several lots of culls recently at $3.25
to $500, grass cows s2.25 to $500.
lin the native division numerous
sales of steers were made last week
at So. 90 to 20. 40, and the bulk OF
sales today will be from $500 to
$3.50, which is about the highest
point reached this year. Forecas-
tiers have been predicting moderate
receipts tor February, and the mar
ket seems to be well balanced,
ready to respond either favorably
to the proper conditions, or to de-
cline with moderate provocation.
The hog market established q
new record today for this year
several loads at 5000 Ia, which +
the highest price since March
1908. Bulk of sales today is a
e $3.50 to So. 90. which is IS to ?,
= cents higher than a week ago, re
: ceipts 6ooo head. The supply !
running considerably short OF
year ago, receipts for Januar,
showing a falling off of Iop per cent
i which shortage is increasing stead
e ily. rather than diminishing. A
the same time, demand from packer
is stronger than a year ago, an
more hogs could be assimilated nov
than were needed then, ample reas

 Captain odom made a demand on Parish Wednesday for the weapon but Parish denied having it. Westwood had told Captain odom that Parish had the pistol. Captain made another de- mand for the revolver but to no avail. He then swore out warrant accusing Parish of receiving stolen goods.
 If Parish had given me the pistol" l" said Captain odom last night. .T never would have prosecuted him." Captain odom has not yet secured possession of the pistol.

A sequel to the arrest of ". S. A'estwood, was enacted at the county <il yesterday afternoon when William &arish. a white man who come to pay Eastwood a visit in his cell. was babbed by Constable George Lamar lnd also locked behind prison bars.
 Westwood is the white man. so il Is charged, who was so unthankful as to make way with a pistol belonging of the Salvation Army. Parish, it is alleged is the man to whom Westwood gave the weapon
 Parish made his appearance at the county 1ail about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Constable Lamar was stand ing across the street at the Court House when he observed Parish make his way to the prison.
 There's warrant out for that man." exclaimed the constable, and he made dash for the office of Justice Boiling Young.

NO REMEDY HERE
FOR DELAY IN DELIVERY OF MAIL
 SAYS POsTMAsTER.
Change in Hour For Starting Out Car riers Leaves Morning Mail Until AfternoOn--Force
 Amply Lnrge.

~s ~
 Complaints. for which Postmaster Dimmick has no remedy have been reaching the postoffice recently In ref erence to the delivery of morning mail from the South. especially mail reach ing the city over the Louisville and Nashville from Mobile and New Or leans
 Since the recent addition of a carrier to the postoffice delivery forcc. g change in the hour of reporting ana starting out has been made under the directions of the postoftice inspector. Heretofore carriers have reported for duty at 7.30 a. m. and started cat de- livering mail at $50 a. m. Under the new rule, the carriers report at 6:3b o'clock. In this way. the carriers leave the office before the early morning mail can possibly be put up, and hence it Is after the noon hour and freouently as late as 2 o'clock before this malt reaches its destination. It was thought by such change to afford the carrier chance to get to ms u,nu~i DeIor~ going out on his second delivery
 Assistant Postmaster Irwin said yes terday that the postoffice force is ann ply large to take care of and distribute all mail that comes to Montgomery, and that there Is no complaint in that d. rection. Clerks, he said, remain on un- til o'clock every morning to distrib- ute the mail reaching Montgomery on train No. 37 from the East. which is due here at l1:50 D. m. However, if this train is late. the clerks remain on duty until o'clock. but no later.

JUDGE JONES FORWARDED ORDER
 TO THIS EFFECT.
Two Roads Permitted To Accept state Law On Rates--Three Are still Holding
 Ott.

Judge Jones has forwarded to the clerk of the United States court an order granting the petitions of the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlanta and Birmingham Air Line. which roads re- gently applied to the court for a modi- fication of the original interlocutory injunction allowing the new State freight and passenger rate laws to be put into effect by these roads pending an outcome of the litigation.
 The order of Judge Jones as received and filed by the clerk of the court, is dated September 22. With /the granting of the petition the Seaboard and the Atlanta and Birmingham Air Line are in line with, the numerous railroads which have heretofore accept ed the anti-railroad legislation passed by the recent Legislature.
 There remain now only three roads which have failed to accept the laws, the Louisville and Nashville. the Cen traI of Georgia and the Western Rail- way of Alabama.

TREE WRECKED HER HOUSE.
Is charge Made in Suit Against POsta
 Telegraph Company.

Because, as is alleged in the papers, the telegraph company, was negligent and unskillful in cutting down a tree that endangered the telegraph wires and the resultant demolition of her house.
 Bessie W. Walker filed suit for $500 yesterday in the city court against the Postal Company.
 The complaint ayers that during October. 1906, the company entered upon the plaintiffs land about three miles east of Montgomery on the Mount Meigs road for the purpose of removing a tree which was likely to fall or be blown across the wires. It is admitted that the company had permission to remove the dangerous tree. but it is charged that the timber was so negilgently and unskillfully cut that it fell upon and across a house which was thereby utterly demolished. The case will be setP for trial at the next term of the civil division of the City court.
