they have done their very best to
overcome the difficulties that
they encounter.
They are apt to think that this
would involve a serious loss of
time. But 1t is a great mistake.
A ha>ty preparation, and especial
ly a preparation made largely
through the help of others, Is
likely to result in knowledge
more or less superficial and un-
satisfactory. On the other hand,
close, severe and sustained think
ing gives broad views and clear
insight. and makes deep and last
ing impressions. Thus it is that
what is acquired by much mental
labor becomes a treasured and
permanent possession.
But there is another very i'm
portant thought to be considered
in this connection. The boy who
forms the habit of relying on
others FOR success in his studies is
very apt to grow up deficient in
one Of the essential qualities of
true manhood, If not totally
destitute of it-namely. self-re-
LANCE. Throughout his subse-
ouenJ life, whatever may be his
profession or calling, he will in
probability be diflident and vacIl-
lating, an 60 leaning on Others
or walking ON crutches. A very
considerable part of his life will
be spent in waiting for something
to turn up instead Of taking hold
and turning up something.
Boys aud girls, do not neglect
to cultivate, while you are at
school, the spirit that must
control all your future actions if
you would reasonably hope for
success. Learn to think and to
act for yourselves. Every ole
must needs be the architect OF
his own fortune. UNo.

Self-Reliance of Pupils.
(For The Sentinel9

A great many pupils have not
the unylelding courage and the
determination to master the diff
ficulties that they encounter in
their studies. If they cannot ac-
complish in very short time
and with very little labor the
tasks assigned them. they will
either apply to others for help or
become discouraged aud give up
entirely. They lack self-reliance
or they are INDECENT. or it may be

these ailments. They would know

ued appliratlon. must come. If at
all. largely by the help of others.
Pupils should studiously avoid
falling into this habit. If M
eiulged. it will seriously handicap
them in all their future studies.
If they would really succeed and
become scholars I'm the true and
full sense of the term, they must
cultivate an independent and
self-relisnt spirit. They must
acquire Il Keen relish for active
and strenuous mental exercise
They must have the ambition To
remove difficulties and to solve
probiens toy their own unaided
effort. They must have the cour-
age and persistency not only to
take hold but to hold on until
they are masters of the situation.
There is nothing truer than that
"behind every little point of ac-
complishmcnt there is great
beam of endeavor aud toll" No
one has ever found royal road
to learning.
There may and will be times
when pupils must have help in
preparing their lessons; hdt they

SEPARATE SCHOOLS
CONSTITUTIONAL
So Declares the United States
Supreme Court In a Recent
Decision Rendered.

The decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the case
of Berea College vs.. the State of
Kentucky is an important one, for
it declares the constitutionalty of
the laws passed by "a number of
States providing separate schools
for whites aud blacks. 1t is true
that the court confined its deci-
sion tn Tic one phase of the case,
that of the light of the State to
regulate its corporate creatures,
and did not deal with the question
as applying to public and private
schools "a well rs those that have
been chartered.
But there is little reason to
doubt from the expressions of the
judges that should the question of
prescribing separate schools for
the races come before the SUI
preme Court on its merits the
cause of race purity would win a
complete victory. Even Justice
Harlan who was the only member
of the court that rendered Il dis
senting opinion took occasion to
say that he "did not want to be
understood as criticising the sys-
tenn of separate public schools for
the races, but that his censure
was directed at the penal provis-
ION of the Kentucky law involved
in this case
1t Is evident from the language
of Justice Harlan's opinion that
he recognizes that it is constltu-
tional for State to make provis-
ion for the education of white and
black children in separate schools.
but thinks 1t is going too far to
impose a criminal penalty for
failure to observe the regulation.
One of the effects of this deci-
sion will be To encourage and
greatly advance the movement in
several of the States of the Mid
die West To abolish the oo-eluca-
ton of the races in the public
schools, and to provide separate
schools for white and negro chill
dren. In seyeral~ef the States
the movement has been halted by
adverse decisions from the State
Supreme Courts. but the decision
of the United States Supreme
Court will encourage the advocates
of racial separation to continue
their fight and if necessary carry
the question into the courts of
last resort.-N. o. States.

KENTUCKY IS IN LEAD
In the Production and Sale
ID. u.s ~ of Tobacco. ,r- .
FIRST IN ACREAGE and VALUE
But the Per Acre Yield Is not
an Large as That of Sew
..e eral Other States. ~.

Hopkinsville, KY, Jan. 23.-The Bu-
reaG of Statistics of the Department
OF Commerce and Labor has issued
an interesting report on the produc-
ton and value OF the tobacco crop
grown in the United States during
1907. These figures are based on the
prices paid and reports made up to
December I, and show in detail how
many acres were planted, the yield
per acre, the production, price paid
per pound and the farm value. In
the New England STATESMEN York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin
the price paid per pound and the
farm values are not given, by reason
OF the sales being so comparatively
few that reliable estimates could not
be formed. A nominal price of IL
cents per pound, however, is given
for the entire production of these
States. The totals for the United
States show ~ what an enormous ex-
tent the tobacco interest Is followed
and how much 1t means TO the nation
az large.
Kentucky stands pre-eminent as the
chief tobacco producing State in the
Union. with an acreage OF 27o2OO. q
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1908-01-29

the showing for the State is more
than righted by an increase Of 2.5
cents in the amount received per
pound for the 1907 crop, which makes
the farm value show the handsome in
crease Of So, 101, 300. Tennessee shows
an increase in acreage of 3,1OO acres,
an increase in the average production
per acre of fifteen pounds, an increase
in the production of 3,131 900 pounds,
an increase in the price per pound
of 2.3 cents, and an increase in the
total farm value of $1.09O,S25. With
the exception of Maryland, which
shows decrease of 3 cents, every
State for which the average price per
pound is given, shows a nice in
crease, and of course the farm value
shows up in proportion to these in
creases. In this respect Georgia and
Florida head the list with the mag
nificent gain of 100 cents. Texas is
second, with a gain of 60 cents; Ken
lucky, with her gain of 81 cents, is
third, ard the other States follow
along with increases as follows; Vir-
ginia, :.S cents; West Virginia, s.
cents; North Carolina, 10 cents; South
Carolina, - cents; Indiana, Ii cents;
Illinois, 30 cents; Missouri, 90 cents;
Tennessee, 2.S cents; Alabama, 2.Ol
cents Mississippi, IL cents; Louisia-
ma, ) cents, Arkansas, 1.5 cents.
North Carolina is mainly responsible
for the increase in acreage. the re-
port for 1907 showing a gain for this
State of Al ,042 acres over 1906. South
shows q gain of $500 acres,
of 5000 acres, Florida
Of 100 acres, Indiana 5000 acres, Wis |
consin $500 acres. These increases
show to what extent the tobacco in
1ustry is spreading into new terri
tory.

Compared with a similar report ls-

shows material gains in almost eY5

production, 1907 shows an increase

Comparing the two reports, on the
separate States, shows some marked
changes from the conditions which,
prevailed in 1906. For instance, Ken
tucky's acreage shows a decrease of
1880 acres; the average yield per
acre increased twenty pounds to the
acre, and the production decreased H.
$4,000 ponds. Notwithstanding this
heavy falling off in these details.
