The Lesser of Two Evils.

On the first Sunday Of their visit in
Chicago the successful merchant es-
corted his parents to a fashionable
church. Some of the hymns were IA
mfliar, and in their rendition the visi-
ting pair contributed heavily, with
the credit for volume in favor of the
father.
Although not always in correct time
and sometimes in discord, yet the Joy
OF the good couple leaped forth in
joyous praise, and they did not see
the glowering looks of nearby wor-
shippe- :" or the flushed face Of their
devot. son.

that afternoon, while his mother was
taking; her accustomed nap, in our
churches the congregation does very
little singing; it is left entirely to the
choir"

Are you hesitating, wavering, un-
decided about sending John or Mary
to high school or college this fall?
Hesitate no longer. The course i'm
college or in the high school may
double your sons or your daughters
earning capacity and, better still, give
him or her breadth of vision and a
nobleness of purpose which could
never have come without it.
There might be such a thing as
people making a too lavish expendi-
ture for school training; but we in
the South have never yet been guilty
OF that offense. We may have spent
unwisely, but that is very different
matter. There are, no doubt cases
where father and mother have placed
too heavy burdens on themselves to
send the children to college; but there
is, IN the unwisest Of such instances,
worthy, even il misguidedfi spirit
OF heroism; and for every such case
there are hundred cases where the
parents have failed to do enough,
either from false notions of economy
or because their own ignorance was
so dense that they could not even
comprehend the advantages Of educa-
ton for others-lnost piteous tragedy
Of all where darkness thus perpet-
yates itself and never even knows the
light!
We believe in training every child
to help himself, in trying to inspire
him with the desire for an education
and then in letting him help pay for
it. We would not for one minute ad-
wise any father to wear himself out
to send his boys to college or high
school and give them a good time;
but whenever the young man or the
young woman has real desire for
knowledge and makes an earnest ef-
fort to attain 1t, the parents can well
afford to make sacrifices, If necessary,
to crafty that desire and realize that
effort.
Yes, send the boy or girl to the
college or high school. We some
times hear great deal about the
rare men and women who in their
eagerness to accomplish things over
come all the obstacles which the lack
of educational advantages placed in
their path and went on to usefulness
and success. Such stories are ever
Inspiring; but to conclude from them
that the advantages offered by the
well-ordered training of the schools is
of small consequence, is an altogeth-
er unwarranted conclusion. No one
can tell how much more such a man
might have accomplished If he had
had the advantages of high school,
college, and university; and while the
few. strong, indomitable souls may be
able to overcome the handicaps OF
ignorance and undisciplined thought
remember that for thousands of 9TH
ers these same handicaps have meant
| defeat in the race Of life-unrealized
ambitions and unfruitful labors.
Cross the Rubicon, make the de-
cision, about your boy or girl, IL ne
or she is really eager for the ad-
Vantages Of an education and willing
to do his or her part in getting it:
that should be the only test-Pro-

The assumption that a woman can
not teach agriculture, cannot teach
the scientific truths about soil, chem
istry and plant physiology, unless she
has been a field hand, is absurdly IL
logical when one comes to think of
it in all it's bearings. First Of all. un-
derstand that in teaching the text
book on agriculture, the teacher
is not teaching farming, but is
simply teaching those scientific
facts and principles which have
practical application in farming:
"a very different thing, and a
fundamental and fatal mistake is
made by nine people out of ten by
misconceptions right at this point.
And these scientific truths and prin-
ciples can be taught with advantage
by any intelligent teacher who makes
up her mind to do it, especially il
she be farm-bred. One does not need
to be a centenarian and a soldier in
order to teach history; it is not re-
quired that a teacher travel around
the world before teaching geography;
she need not have robbed graves and
dissected cOrpeses before teaching
physiology. Why argue then that she
must have broken steers and stem
med tobacco before teaching the
scientific truths about soil chemistry
and plant physiology that have prac-
tical application in the business of
farming? t<
Moreover, upon this very point of
textbooks, We should like to remind
the earnest young women who COM
pose the bulk of the South's teach
ing force that if teacher has stud
led the textbook properly, she prob
ably knows a great deal more of "the
knowledge teachable things" about
agriculture than Of the ENJOYABLE,
teachable things" about history
geography Or physiology-subjects
which she regards herself as thor
oughly competent to handle.
You don't nave to know how to
hitch mule to the plow in order
to teach why 1t doesn't pay to plow
deep and cut the corn roots in two
at laying-by time; yol need not know
how to run a guano distributor in or
der to teach the effects of potash
phosphoric acid, and nitrogen in
plant growth; you need not know
how to cure cowpea hay to teach how
nitrogen gathered by the cOwpea will
enrich. the land: you need not know
how to shuck corn to teach which
type of ear has been found to be the
best for corn production; you neet
not even have MIXED cows in order
