Improving School Property.

The teacher who does not try to
improve the school property and the
morals ofithe school is teaching for
money alone How can child teach
a. school? Here we haveyoung girls
out teaching who themselves clearly
need their mothers "don'ts". They
cannot teach what they do not know.
They do not know how to govern
with judgment or care for the health
OF the school. The younger the child
Ia the finer the teacher should be.
n A young woman said, l want to
20 to New York on visit will go
up in the mountains to teach. /
don't care If l can teach well--they
don't know any difference. The dear

Why is It?

Why is it that Oconee cannot have
a Woman's Rural School Improve
ment Association? Do we not want
better schools and new ideas? How
many parents have secured good read
ing for their children? Think of
this! You can visit oine out of ten
homes and find fashion sheets, but
not good religious papers. Fashions
change, but good thoughts last. Do
the parents teach current events to
their children? How many parents
have taken their children to Glenn
son and showed them the grounds
and grand buildings and told them
Of that great man, John G. Calhoun?
What are you doing to bring law and
order to your State? Now, when the
school begins, go with your child
help him in his plays and studies
see that his head and heart are being
educated.

Secretary Wilson Says Something
Must be Done Quickly.

Chicago, August 2S.--"If better
care, more general propagation, and
a fostering of present conditions are
not observed, the forests of the Uni
ted States will be practically wiped
out inside of another ten years." was
the declaration made by Secretary of
Agriculture James Wilson at the Au-
ditorium Hotel yesterday.
The Secretary had just reached
Chicago on his way to Washington
from a tour Of inspection of the gov
ernment preserves in the West.
The pine timber of Michigan. Wis
consin and Minnesota he said, "is
practically wiped out Forest fires
are the great thing to be guarded
against, and for that protection the
government has employed thousands
Of men to watch for fires. A person
can ride for miles through Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota and see
barren sections where formerly grew
our great pine forests. Fires, started
either carelessly cor otherwise, have
wiped out millions and millions OF
dollars worth of the best OF our hard
wood. Unless something is done we
will not have enough hardwood left
in fifteen years at the latest to make
an old-fashioned bedstead with.
President Roosevelt has done
much for the preservation OF our
forests-more, might say, than all
of our other Presidents combined"
The Secretary expressed the belief
that the next Congress should imme-
dfately take up the forestry matter.

The Ever Fruitful Cowpea.

{Prof. A. M. Soule, in Southern Farm
Magazine for september.)
Cowpeas provide one of the finest
forms of hay for use in the South.
Experiments have demonstrated that
within reasonable. limits cowueas can
be substituted for expensive concen-
trates like wheat bran and cotton
seed meal. For instance, as much
as ten pounds OF finely chopped caw@
pea hay may be made to replace elk
pounds of wheat bran. AS cowpeas
can be grown on practically every
farm, and gather their nitrogen form
the air, and even when cut for hay
leave thirty to forty pounds Of nitro
gen on each acre of land in the roots,
stubble and fallen leaves, 1t is a crop
OF vast economic Importance The
cowpea is also a splendid smother
crop and holds weeds in check very
effectively. 1t has very fine effect
on the physical condition of the soil,
bringing It into an ideal state for
succeeding crops. There are some
drawbacks to using cowpeas for hay,
as the crop is difficult to cure; but
where wooden triangles of even rough
construction not over two feet high
are used underneath the stacks and
hay caps provided, excellent hay can
be made even in very unfavorable
season, as the crop can be put up
under these conditions in a semi
green state and will cure out per-
fectly.

ing more and more epthroneti in ur

ing more and more enthroned In ur
hearts and lives, while the God OF
our fathers is being dethroned and
dishoMored. We are SO money-mad
that the figure of the dollar mark is
larger than the figure of the cross;
wealth, no matter how obtained often
has a greater power than char cter
however noble and sublime
In some pagan countries, emperor
worship and filial piety are the badges
of honorable citizenship; those who
possess their virtues are counted
among the best In the land, though
IN other respects they are notoriously
wicked and immoral. In our own
country there is but little differences;
those who are wealthy are respected
and honored regardless Of their moral
character, while poor, but honest and
honorable men are without influence
in the community, the State and ma
ton.
1t is generally admitted that a
very large majority Of fSthe children
OF our country are growing up igno-
rant Of the finer traditions of the
past, gignorant of the lives Of those
who have suffered and endured for
Righteousness sake, ignorant of the
Holy Scriptures and the ways of God
to man. In many instances they re-
ceiye no religious instruction in their
homes, none in the churches, from
which they are absent, and none in
theE public schools, where such In
struction is not permitted. In some
schools the Scriptures may not even
be read because the courts have de-
creed that the Bible is sectarian
book. In the matter of religious
sects and denominations 1t would
seem that we are sensitive beyond
belief; SO sensitive in fact az TO be-
lieve that some unsuspecting school
teachers are SO eager and anxious to
proselyte our children that we don't
want them even to mention the name
of God in their presence. Away with
SO narrow-minded prejudice; away
with 80 unreasonable sensitiveness!
We need the Bible In our schools
and we need :ts influence IN our ma
tional life to correct the immoral, law
less and money-worshipping tenden-
cies of the time. That instruction In
the Bible will do this, reference need
only be made to the law-abiding
spirit of those countries in which re-
ligious instruction. based on the BIZ
Bile, is regularly and systematically
given In the public schools.
II all these things are true, and ex-
perience and common sense prove
that they are, is 1t fair, reasonable,
or just to present or future genera
tions to deny our children instruction
in book that has done more for hn-
manity and the world than all other
books combined? Our intelligence
answers no, but our prejudice an
swers yes. Hitherto our prejudice
has triumphed over our Intelligence
in these matters; shall it continue to
do SO in the future? No-not If we
are wise.-Prof. Dreher, of Column
