EDUCATION IN SIERRA LEONE
Much Practical Work Being Done In
Efforts to Improve Agricultural
Conditions.

Another visit Of inspection has been
made to the Mohammedan school at
Bo, in the Sierra Leone hinterland.
Judging from the report of the inspect
lors, which Is published in the Gazette,
a high standing is being kept up BY
the scholars. One particularly pleas
ing feature Is the manner In which
manual and technical training, are Ia
king the place Of clericaltraining, which
seemed for so long to be the only;
method carried out in West Africa,
The following paragraph shows how
the pupils are responding to the eff
forts Of their teachers:
IAN open-air lesson on agriculture
was given to classes 1 and 2 on the
model farm In the school village. In
this farm bananas, ~pineapples, etc., are
grown on improved lines. There were
also many banana stocks ready to be
planted In holes already dug for the
purpose.
4; "Of all the subjects taught in the
school, agriculture seems to be the
lmost attractive to the pupils. They
may have recognized the fact of its
supreme Importance in their country.
They have shown very keen interest in
its study.
THE open-air lesson above referred
to having lasted beyond the usual
hour for closing the school, as an in
stance of the interest taken by all the
boys In the study Of agriculture, the
other pupils who had been taking 9th.
!er subjects in the schoolroom, in
stead Of going home when the school
was closed, fastened to the model
farm and Joined their companions in
the closing part of the lecture.
"The boys are being trained so as
mot to despise labor, and to this end
they are made to assist laborers by do.
ling light work, such as laying lines,
gathering manuring material, etc.,
when plots Of land in the school com.
pound are being cleared for planting
purposes. They clean the surround
!tngs of their houses and make drains.
They vie with one another in this lat.
ter respect, and as a result their vii
hge has always been in a neat and
clean condition"

Will Fight Division.

Jamestown.-That the movement in
augurated in the western part of Slut
man county for a division of the coun-.
ty will meet with lively opposition in
this city, is now assured. The conten-
ton is raised that the western dis.
tricts Of the county lie too remote
from the county seat and for that rea-
son they have started the campaign.
Jamestown is very anxious to retain
the county in it's present form, and
will put up a hot fight against division.

EVIL OF sWEATsHoP SYSTEM
Wretchediy Paid Workers Pay Toll to
Vanity Of Dweliers in t.
Great Cities.

Appeal to heart and conscience alike
must have been powerfully made to
the many women and fewer men who
were beguiled by social curiosity or
led by philanthropic interest to exam
inc the collection Of garments and of
photographs made by the Consumersi
league and exhibited at the Normal
college in New York. The photo
graphs showed tenement rooms on the
children working on the garments
that hung close by with placardsI
fastened to them telling the few PEN,
MES an hour and a garment that these.
same toilers had received. A large
part of the exhibit was the work Of
the child victims of the sweatshopl
system. And it was by NO means
| clothing of the cheaper grades that,
was most conspicuous, but articles
made to meet the wishes Of the we'll,
TODD and even the %fastidious, such AS
are sold in the city's most deliberately,
furnished stores. For dainty feather
stitching on a baby's dress, q child,(
herself hardly more than q baby, is
paid perhaps four cents. TWELVE
punches of artificial roses are made
for a penny. If the worker Is speedy
she can earn go cents a day. Artificial
violets are cheaper. A mother and
four children, of ages from IL to 81
earn together 60 cents a day. Their
work may be seen at the exhibit. IT
is beautiful; but the system that pro-
duces it at this cost Of young life isJ
an abomination. Hand-sewn mems
neckties intended to be sold at from
so cents to 81 each, pay the maker 81
cents a dozen. The ultra-respectableI
black stock collar for elderly women,
retailing for so cents cost the venderi
for making less than III cents apiece
Is it nothing to those who buy such
things that child life Is stitched into
their seams?-New York ~Churchmani

Will Plant Peas.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES eight and ten
cars of seed peas will be planted in the
Darlington vicinity within the next few
weeks. 1t is now certain that $500
acres will be planted to the new crop
by various farmers who have already
contracted.
In addition to this acreage, several
other farmers are anxious to sign
contracts. 1t will take from 2 to 3 1-2
bushels Of seed to the acre, so that
with 5000 acres in cultivation for this
crop, the amount of seed alone will
represent an immense amount.

present season of urgent pressure.
The burden OF discussion in stock
market quarters was all OF the danger
from threatened collision OF corpora

tention paid to the subject in the dis
patches from Washington aggravated
the apprehension which began to
grow ncuteyest crday. 1t was not un.

by President Taft was published that
the pnngs Of the market were at all

OF cause and effect In the Hurley
hurley OF the market There WAS evil
dence for instance that tho banks
were engaged In cleaning up the cred
1t accounts and were discriminating
with severity agaIst such high stocks
as justified suspicious OF pool manip-
ulntion. The oyerbaullng of loans ac-
counts by the banks had its incentive
in part from the apprehension arous"
ed by the treatment of corporations
by the law as well as by the criticisms
Of the purely speculative position In
the market The ground for the anx-
iety that has grown up in the finan-
cial community is the increasing be-
lief that the supreme court will up
hold the government in tho American
Tobacco case and leave the executive
officers OF the government no altcrna-

In spite of the fact that ore Is being

The bond under which the Silver

WORKING upon
MERGER PLANS

Plans for morger OF the great cop
per producing mines of the United
States arc being worked out slowly
aud deliberately by J. P. Morgan &
Co, according to the Mining Financial
News. The delay in announcing the
plans is caused by the fear of the pro-
mOters Of the merger that they may
possibly como into conflict with the
antitrust laws Were it not for the
decision recently handed down by the
United States circuit court for the
Missouri district, the new copper com
blne would now be doing business.
Morgan C Co. however are proceed
ing upon a plan that false step at
the very formation OF the merger
would be fatal, and that Arm, which
Is charged with the financial respon.
sibility Of the whole matter. is dis,
posed TO the belief that 1t mny be
better to postpone the merger for a
time rather than to put together q
great corporation, producing S0O,000.-
900 pounds OF copper annually. and
leave the new corporation subject TO
later attacks In the courts.
The work now being done toward
lne merger lG the very lLHpoI tHul
work of appraising the properties that
are to be taken In. An announcement
regarding the Importance OF this work
has lately been made In the follow
ing language:
Tn the case Of the Anaconda. the
Amalgamated Copper company owns
about 55 per cent OF the stock. while
the remainder is In the hands of the
public bid will be made for tho
property after n thorough appraisal
has been made The minority stock
holders will share equally with the
Amaleamatcd. which controls the
stock"
II may be some weeks. or even
months, before tho copper merger Is
put through. The Mining Financial
News Is given to understand that the
house OF Morgan 6 Co.. will not go
ahead with the definite plans until
1t knows what decision The United
States supreme court will make in the
case against the American Tobacco
company and the Standard OIL com-
pany. Then again. 1t is suggested
that at the moment the money market
may not be able to handle tho flnanc-
Ing OF such vast project as the cop
per merger.
