MiSISsIPPrS DELEGATION.

Elsewhere in this issue appears an
article on Mississippi's delegation to
the waterways convention. Our
neighbor state has, we believe, in
variably sent the largest delegation
of any state to previous conventions
The credit for this is largely due to
the energy of Alexander Y. Scott, the
committeeman for the state. He is
now busy organizing the delegation
for the convention to be held in New
Orleans on the 30th of this month.
Mr.. Scott himself has addressed let
tiers to the mayors of every town in
the state urging the appointment of
delegates. and no doubt Mississippi
will again break the record in this
respect The healthy interest thus
manifested ought TO inspire other
states to emulate the example thus
set. This Lakes-to-the-Gulf project is
of more importance to the valley and
tributary territory than all the politi-
cal questions that fret the public
mind: but we cannot afford to take
things for granted. Only by eternal
vigilance and sustained enthusiasm
can we hope to attain what we desire

A Lack of Confidence.

A minister, frequently away from
home, was in the habit of getting some
one to stay with his wife and small
daughter in his absence. Once, how.
ever, he went so Unexpectedly and
hurriedly that he had no time to make
such provision for them. The wife
was very brave until night came, when
her courage began to fail. After ex-
hausting every reasonable excuse for
staying up, she put the child to bed

The saltwater state Of Massachusetts,
q. naturally, one Of the first to make
the ant Of swimming obligatory on the
pupils Of the public schools, and Boston,
talking the lead, has ordered both male
and female pupils Of the public high
schools % take instruction IN swimming
under competent instructors The obliga-
ton viii probably be removed IN the
case Of those students who arc found
TO be physically not fl for the ordeal,
which viii remove much Of the objection
from the requirement For the other
pupils il will be good thing, both from
the standpoint Of physical development
and from the ability to preserve oneself
in case Of danger from drowning The
requirement seems strange because Of
ils novelty, but not because Of its fool
ishness.
