D|X|ELAND WAGES EDUCAT|O NAL
 MOVEMENT

WASHINGTON, Dee. D. Among
 the important speeches delivered at the gathering of the southern Com. mcrcinl Congress was the address of Dr. Alderman of the University of Virginia. The speech was revelation of the educational progress of the south.
 Dr. Alderman gave the South credit for having made great strides in the educational advantages which it offers. He summarized what he said were the grave difficulties which essentially had been overcome, and declared that judged by the standards, no part of the republic in the past generation
 has achieved truer educational pro. gress than the states of the south, 'and that nowhere does there seem n fairer chance to work out n satisfac. tory educational scheme" " He said he knew if no social movement in modern times, founded in a higher purpose, carried forward with greater self-reliancc, steadier zeal and larger results to it's credit than the educa. tional battle of the south since 1870.
 'I like somehow to think,' he said. that this movement began when General Lee decided not to become president of an insurance company at n large salary, and became instead president of Washington College at q salary of sI 800 q yenr." In the civic battle of thirty. y.odd years, he said some Fundamental things in theory and practice had been settled, while others remained unsettled. As to the things that had been fairly settled, he stated that the southern people Chad the political patience and the mental equipoise not to disturb the only good thing bequeathed to them by the car. pet-bag governors, namely, the pro. visions for popular education, placed in their organic law. An overwhelm ing public sentiment,' he declared, had sustained the policy of education of all the people at public expense, thus making of a social system semi. feudaI in nature, n democracy in SO. eial usage as well as in political phil osopny'
 south had developed genius of school organization necessary to create a sys. tenn of popular education in every southerh sthte, IairIy competent as tO it's machinery and methods, quickened and strengthened hv normal and in. dustrial schools for both races and vi. talized by the establishment in the past five years of 1850 public high schiols. Tne high school established and supported by the state, which he said had hitherto been insufiiciently represented in the school system, would accomplish three great results first, boy or girl of real ability here. tofore doomed to remain undevcloped in the mass, may pass into these schools and from them to law or scr. vice in the community or to the col. lcges. universities and professional schools. Second, if education should end in these high schools for such am. bilious youth the average educated force in community is erroneously increased; and third, inc lower schoo.l are thus stimulated, the colleges nour. ,shed the whole system unified, and the maximum of individual ability in. herent in the children of . common. wealth discovered and educated for

The Story of a Medicine.

Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use OF pure,
triple-reiined glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid OF apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed rGolden Medical Discovery" for
the cure OF weak stomach, Indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made. as
