EDUCATION.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
An never before the people of
our country have realized that
the source of our wealth is first
of all the soil; and how to use
both field and forest to the best
advantage is now the problem.
The farmers of our county
have realized that the solution of
this problem must come through
the schools. We who are inter-
ested in education certainly
know how to appreciate the
great interest that the farmers
of Robson county are taking in
our public schools. The Farm
ers' Educational and Co-Opera-
tive Union has secured speakers
to make addresses on agricultu-
raj education for several of our
schools that have already closed,
and have speakers who have &C.
copied invitations for the follow
ing schools: Parkton, May 3rd,
DR.. F. L. Stephens and Dr.. B. F.

Kinnon; Rowland, May %, Clar-
ance Poe.
Lumberton, May 5, regular
county meeting Of the Farmers
Union, Hon. H. L. Goodwin.
AS we expect to make agricul
tural education one of the mair
features in our public schoo
courses next year, it is very es
sential that the teachers an(
school committeeman take tn.
opportunity of hearing these ad
dresses. People from all section
of the county will be in Lumber
ton on the 9Th to bear the ad
dress of Congressman Goodwin.

Better hotel facilities are bad
~ needed in Lumberton and it is
to be hoped that the public-spir-
tied men who are planning to
enlarge the Waverly hotel will
have no difficulty in raising the
small amount of stock to be
raised. When the Waverly is re.
modelled and enlarged according
to the plans submitted it will be
quite handsome building and a
credit 10 the town. The hote
facilities of the town are entire.
ly inadequate now and this is
hurting the town.

An Allowance for Children.

II children have no money Of their
own. how can they learn to manage
It? Begin when they are very young
and teach them gradually the use Of
money by arranging household work
so they can earn a few pennies, and
perhaps by giving moneyed rewards
Whenever children are given money
let them understand 1t is because
they have earned It by good behavior.
Money should not be doled out to a
child as If to a beggar. 1t mas
a right to its allowance; and chill
dren that are early taught that they
must furnish equivalent of money re-
ceived~ learn the value of money and
grow up to be respected because they
are self-respecting. The plan we
have suggested is followed in many
families and each child is paid fix
ed sum for certain duties. While
the sums earned by smaller children
are trivial, the children are compell-
ed to pay out certain small necessa-
ny expenses from them, and to con
tribute a penny of the earnings TO
the church contribution box each Sun
day. AS soon as they have a dollar
saved they are urged to put it in the
bank, unless it near a birthday or
the holidays, when extraordinary ex-
penditures are in order. In one fam
fly the writer remembers 1t is the
rule of the mother to make a liberal
allowance Of paper, pencils, and other
sundries for school and If any of
these articles are wasted or used up
before a certain time the child in
fault is compelled to purchase others
from her own money. a very definite
and usually effective way of reaching
carelessness. BY gradually becoming
used to spending money. and learn
fng by paying" the suffering and
folly of carelessness, the child grows
to learn values, and when she ar
rives at an age suitable may use an
allowance given her wisely and with
proper discretion.

Becoming Rich.

Too often the fact that a man is
growing rich is first announced TO his
neighbor by a wider spread and a
finer show in his style Of living. His
wife and daughters begin to resem-
BILE the lilies. They neither toll nor
spin but Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of them. Next
come a coach and span. Then, Of
course, a new house. The old one
was ample. There is no increase of
family but without a grander mansion
how is the world TO know that the
man has made a fortune? So archi-
tects and painters and decorators in
due time install the household in a
palace ut for a duke and they take
their rank among "the upper ten"
All the humble walks Of life are a
bandoned. old friends are dropped, tn
hearts once often cheered, and the
poor helped, look no longer for their
coming. The cloak of selfishness in
tightly drawn and the heart closed
60 the appeals of charity. How true.
when blessings come in the way OF
great prosperity. they are wholly APP
propriated for self, and the good
they were intended to do never speed
on missions of mercy, but are tightly
held, dwarfed and tbwarted altogeth-
er and they are not known to have
become rich by the many blessings
bestowed or good done. but only by
an outward dazzling show that a few
years will obliterate.
