. A GOLDEN WORLD

I feel like a second Columbus,
For 1 have discovered. you see.
A world in the shape of an orange
Which grandma has given to me!
'Tis covered with wrinkles and creases
Which represent mountains and seas,
Deep caverns, large islands and rivers
trace on its surface with ease.
And way down below this touch cover
Gold juices are rolling around
Like lava beneath the earth's surface
Just see what a treasure I've found.
IT'S a valuable world 1 am certain,
All golden without as within.
And people who live on my orange
Can never commit any sin!
I wish that the world of Columbus
America, home Of the free
Were as good as the gold of my orange,
Perhaps it depends upon me!
For looking for good I can find it,
And trying to love every one
I'll find them more gentle and loving
Than ever before 1 have donel

SALVATION A BETTER WORD.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in her poem
on Immortality" says:
Immortal life is something to be
earned
BY slow self-conquest, comradeship
with pain
And patient seeking after higher
truths
We had always thought it was a
matter of birth. That the tiniest
babe, before it knew anything of
"self-conquest,' or "comradeship with
pain was immortal. Maybe it was
Salvation the lady was thinking
about. 1t would have sounded quite
as pretty and a deal more sensible
if she had said, Salvation is some
thing to be earned by slow self-con-
quest, and patient seeking after high
err truths"

1.-THE SPIRIT OF GOODNESS"

Under this title head, Joe H. Eagle,
in Taylor Trotwood Magazine for
April, says:
The spirit of goodness is the leaven
that leavens the lump of human life
1t resides in every breast. But it is
too often dormant, and too often is
crowded into the background. To
live is first-it is a battle with dis
cordant elements and selfish interests.
But during the progress of lifes bat
ties many occasions arise upon which
we may give cup of cooling water to
the parched lips of the wounded. To
do ones duty by himself and his de-
pendents is mans main duty in life.
effort there. And in proportion as
talents are bestowed and power ac-
quired, should efforts to do good be
multiplied. 1t would be a glorious
world if selffishness would abate, if
greed would satiate, if strength would
aid rather than crush weakness. Each
man is, indeed, in greater or less de-
gree, his brothers keeper. How
much satisfaction is the reward for
good accomplished by those lives that
let the spirit of goodness sit en-
shrined within their hearts"

women. 1t places them at too great
a disadvantage. What must we do?
What can We do?
Why We will go to town where
there are real good schools; we will
o to the town where our boys and girls
can get the best, the very best, edu-
cational advantages. And they begin
to look around-not for the town that
mas the most people in it; or the town
that has the most fashion in it; or the
town that has the most manufacturing
In 1t; but for the town that has the
best school advantages. That is the
ambition Of their lives, these two old
people, to educate their boys and
girls. God bless their simple, country
old souls, they have the divine in
stinct OF caring for their young; their
house is their nursery, and their nur-
sery is their home, and they spell it
in big letters: God Bless Our Home"
1t is thing distinct and apart from
the Club life that some men and
women live. 1t is the hope-and the
only hope-for the future of this coun-
try.
That, however, is depression.
From the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh." -
These people are building up the
towns and cities; they are crowding
them. Hattiesburg has a fine system
of public schools; and that is the
first thing to be looked to. It also
has a good, high grade preparatory
school; and that 10 the next important
step; now top it all with State Nor
NAL School, and there you have a
system that will satisfy the most am.

There is no telling, there is no esti- |

It knows about it, but the half will not |

In concluding this article, and our
of the series of articles ,
will be, that cost what it will, Hat

bad thing to have; new mills and

hem all is a State Normal School,

THE NOR NAL.

THE NORMAL.
There is just one thing about it:
If Hattiesburg keeps up with its OPP
portunities, Hattiesburg will grow as
fast in the next ten years as it has
in the last ten years. and Hattiesburg
has grown fifteen thousand inhabit-
ants in the last ten years.
#
Another thing about it is, Hatties-
burg must keep up with its opportuni-
ties. Towns are like individuals in
that respect. If they embrace, i'm
prove, make the best of their oppor-
tunities, you cannot keep them down.
If they let their opportunities pass
them by, or if they make little effort
but not enough to catch on and hold
fast to the opportunities, they will
lose them, because of a little more
push, a little more liberality, little
more enterprise and energy of some
other town.
=.
Hattiesburg now has a chance to
get the State Normal College located
here Just chance to get it. Other
towns also have a chance; and Hat
tiesburg need not think or hope to
get the Normal without a fight. If
there are any enterprising towns in
Mississippi, there is going to be lively
competition for the Normal. Because
a State Normal School is one of the
biggest things any town can have. 1t
is town-builder all by itself. Es-
ported, as this school will be, by the
state government, anywhere along the
railroad where the trains stop, and a
town will grow up around it. AS
permanent investment for the reputa-
tion and solid, substantial, enduring
growth of a town, it is worth two or
three of the largest lumber mills in
the state.
Education is the dream of the age.
The masses fifty years ago were not
educated as they are now. Edu-
cation then belonged to the rich. Now
every poor man wants his children
he realizes the necessity for it; and,
most inspiring of all, he sees the pos
sibility of it. What are they doing
therefore, these brave, brawny people
of the middle classes. who were not
born with silver spoons in their
mouths? They are seeking homes
and moving into towns where their
children can get first-class school IA
cilities. When they have first in
quired about the health of the COM
munity, their next question is as to
schools; and the answer to these
two questions largely determines their
decision.
Families make up communities. A
man with large family in the coun-
try, or in some small town where the
school facilities are not good, says to
himself, or his good wife says to him,
we must begin to look out for a way to
educate our CT rem. The farm is all
right, but our ldren will soon out
grow the schoolsN bout here. Or they
will say. this village is all right, but
the schools are not what we want, and
we have so many children we cannot
AFFORD to send our boys and girls off
to boarding schools; the expense is
too great. But they win say, an edu-
cation is about all we win have to
give them, and we must give them
