Religious Profanity.

The Southern Christian Advocate is certain
ly one religious paper that's in its language
as reverent as the best of the secular news
papers. AS far as we have noticed, 1t makes
no fippant or needless use of the name Of
the Maker and Ruler OF the universe.
1t, unlike Mohammed, does not assume that
familiarity with The Almighty which war
rants the repeating Of His name with every
breath. But some people must make fippant
use OF the name TO a people believe they
are religious. The human family being large
.ly initiative and naturally inclined 10 pro-
family, lis it any wonder that the readers Of
OF an irreverent church paper should them
selves become profane?
Our observation woald lead us 10 believe
that tine readers Of irreverent church papers
are much more addicted to profanity than
are the readers OF the more devout papers, or
papers which in fact are religious. We have
no sort OF doubt that 10 the example Of SOM
church papers may be attributed the profanity
OF some OF the church officers. The natura
effect of irreverent use Of the Mann by those
who sit high in the church is to induce
outright profanity in the officers and MEM
bers of the church. And we assume that
no reader would deny that some church
officers, following the example Of their
church paper. are profane on occasion-very
profane.

Nj. VIM had just finished a nlce home

School Question Not Solved.

CONGRESSMAN Aiken, in an article In the
Oconee News, commented on the few appll-
cants who offer for positions in Annapolis
and West Point and the unprepared condi.
ton of those applying. He raises the inquiry
whether or not 1t Is due to lack Of thorough
ness in our methods Of teaching" Prof. E. G.
McCants, replying to this In the Daily Mail,
agrees with much that Mr.. Aiken has to say.
and without assigning q reason for the few
applications for appointment, says that there
are plenty of boys prepared for the examina-
tions who do not seem to care 10 take them.
We copy from the Daily Mail an editorial
on MIR. McCants letter which raises some per.
tinent inquiries:
We print in today's paper an interesting let
ter from Supt. E. Z. McCants OF the Anderson
city schools. He touches on several different
MIR. McCanls admits that the common
| schools Of the State are not doing as good
| work as the schools In some other states are
doing.
This is an important admission, coming
from such q man. We consider Mr.. McCants
one OF the best school superintendents In the
State. The people OF Anderson know ina
The Anderson schools are Gong more
they have ever done before; and those who
have talked with him have heard him say
that they are not doing as thorough Work az
| ne wants them TO do. He Is more anxious ior
Improvement than anybody else can posi-.
bly be-. But nobody, we believe, has been
criticislng the Anderson schools.
| The assertion has been made that the
| schools OF the State as q rule are not doing
good work, and this is candldly admitted by
the teachers themselves. Now, what is the
| matter? This is the question that all OF US
| would like to have answered.
We would like for Mr.. McCants TO write
again for the paper on this line, and we
| would like for others TO join In the discus
sion. From such q discussion we may gel
ideas that will be beneficial. A general ais
cussion of the fact that there is something
| wrong with our school system may awaken
the people to the conditions, and cause them
| 10 demand an improvement.

Eat All You Can, Mother!

An old man whose hair and beard were
cut in a chaste, rural design appeared In
one Of the table d'hote restaurants the

That was more than the old lady could

find out what splendid lungs her husband
had.
The meal was luncheon. The price

had ordered two meals was rs cents.
"Seventy-fve cents!"' he exclaimed.

"Gracious!"
He thought it over a minute or two.
Then he looked at his wife as if consider
ing whether he should try to get the
dreaded news past the old 'lady's tym-
panum. Evidently he gave it up. But he
did what he could. When the first course
came on. he leaned over and shouted In
her ear:

why after, awhiler!-New York Sun.
