That the Central Association did

That the Central Association did
the proper thing in releasing Quincy is
the belief of the ST. Louis Sporting
News, which says editorially The
club owners of the Central Associa-
ton acted wisely as we'll as gene-
ously in deciding to give Quincy its
release. 1t really was next to useless
to hold onto Quincy when the press,
public and base ball men of that city
We're weary of their berth and had
sworn 20 remain out OF organized
base ball rather than stay in the Cen
trail another year. Quincy is too good
a town . be left off the baseball map.
Its population really does entitle it to
place n league of higher classifi-
cation and it is probable the ThreeI
will take it into the fold. Undoubted-
ly, the Central Association magnates
would haze reached their present de-
cision much sooner if Quincy had
said plea when it made its request
to be released. The threatened fight
was bad for base ball in general
and the Central Association in parti-
cular and the happy solution, if it
holds, demands the commentator of
the outsider"

erals are richer in the South than
anywhere else in the United States,
but ere only in recent years begun
to be developed. These mines will
require the services of educated
young men-where are we going TO
find them? Shall we import them
from the North or educate our own
boys to hold these responsible posi-
tions?
Educational conditions in the
South are improving, but are still
far from ideal. A bottle washer at
the dispensary got bigger wages
than the average teacher. and even
the street sweepers in Charleston
are paid 1854 a year while the av-
erage yearly salary Of teacher is
less than $500, Until we are willing
to Day better wages, we will not he
able to find better teachers, for
which there is a crying need. The
school is the loom and the teacher
the weaver; on their skill and COM
potency depends the quality of the
product.
Our country is now facing great
epoch-.the construction of the Pan
anna canal will give an impetus to
Southern industrial development the
magnitude of which no man can
foretell. We need educated men to
take the lead in these large affairs
and it is the mission of the school to
provide them. The speaker then
made an earnest appeal to the young
men to equip themselves to take ad-
vantage of the magnificent opportu-
mites that are bound to come. If
he had to live his life over he would
not stop with an ordinary education,
but would study and learn till his
means gave out.
A great deal is heard about con-
servation of our natural resources,
but the greatest of all our resources
are too much neglected-our health
and intellect. Men of mental and
physical strength are what is needed
to develop our country.
The speaker enlivened his address
with a number of spicy anecdotes,
which held the attention of the au-
dience, and at the same time empha-
sized his points of argument. He
closed his speech with a peroration
that was truly splepdld hight OF
oratorical eloquence.
Mr. Daniel is a pleasing speaker, a
nan who has something to say and
knows how to say it. His popularl-
ty as a commencement orator is
equaled by few public speakers in
tie State, as we understand that ne
has been invited to make addresses
at about ten school closings the
present season.
