A School Board SUGGESTION.

Gentlemen:--It seems somewhat
singular that there is not one woman
on our school board. Mothers in gem

school work than fathers, because
they see more of the children. In
the rush of the business and profes-
sional world today most men have but
little time to space for much school
supervision
1t really comes more in the province
of Women's work, being 50 closely
connected with the children Would
it not then, be advisable to have some
women upon the board? Few will
deny that there are in Augusta some
able women, practical, well educated.
who keep in touch with the vital
questions of the day: women whose
presence upon the school board would
be a help rather than Il hindrance and
whose influence would be in the line
on practical economy, combined with
the best possible advantages for our
pupils.
There are those in town who, while
IN noWlSe criticising the work of the
school board, which they most highly
esteem and appreciate yet feel that
X would be we'll t" have part of the
board comprised of women. 1t is
claimed that women'S life is largely
made up of detail: that their time is
necessarily spent in attending to
small matters while men are occupied
with the larger affairs If that be
true. then the right women would he

A Chance for PhiIanthropists.

An eighteen year old Georgia hoy
was before the court the other DAY
charged with moonshining. He made
an honest confession to the Federal
Judge, SAYING that he had hired as an
assistant in illicit distilling in order
that he might raise money to continue
his education He was dismissed with
a warning that he should never again
permit his love for learning to drive
him into defiance of the law.
In this age when thousands OF
young men are idling away their time
at school, the case points field for
phlanthropsts. In the mountains OF
the South, schools are maintained
which offer tuition at slight expense
to the young men and women, but
they are all too few. and their support
is too limited for the work which lies
before such institutions. Elaborate
courses and magnificent buildings are
unnecessary, but schools which offer
practical training to those without
financial resources should be insti-
tuted Lack of money in these days
ought not to bar any ambitious young
man or woman from acquiring an
education that will fit them for prac-
teal work of every day life in this
age.
Here is a field for educators, and for
those who are hunting for an excuse
to avoid dying rich. The young man
in question wanted to learn and was
willing to work There are, no doubt
hundreds, perhaps thousands. in

Carnegie for honors in giving away
their millions could find prolific field
in supplying the means to enable such
students to gain an education.

Editorial Comment.
(TrOy Record.)
Farmers by Profession.

IT is evident that the future of the
rural regions in this country depends
on the ability of those who live there
The decline of population cannot con-
tinue. The cities need men now more
Than the country because the land
produces all the standard crops the
nation needs. But this day is pass
ing. Other lands cannot supply many
food products. for they are needed at
home. Even Russia will cease to eX-
port at no distant day. The result
will be that America will fall back
on itself for most of the food. To
meet this shortage the nation must
rear farmers who will treat their life
as a profession: who will study the
latest volumes of the subject and con-
suit the current Government charts;
who will not look down upon their
calling but honor il as the first in
the land; who will make land hitherto
almost arid fruitful: and who Will
supply the needs OF the OvergroWn
cities. To this end the Government
is struggling; and the farmer of to-
day who is laying by money and buy
ing more land is the man who is fol-
lowing the Governments lead and
adopting advanced ideas.

From the Outlook comes a clipping,
the very title of which suggests its as

tendencies. 1t is Living Out of

the pleasure of country life. Ii it
comes as one might suspect, from the

From the plains of the great Ameri-
can West, the wilds of Darkest Africa.
and the oak forests of well-conserved
England, he has enjoyed every phase
of what Bill Sewall of Maine, would
call hearty vittles." Under the Maine
pines and spruces, and with the tar
heels in the Carolinas, and the cane
wallOwers of Louisiana, he has sam
pied the delights of living in tents or

the case might demand.
In the article referred to, the writer
says: When will Americans learn
how much pleasure they are missing
because they so rarely invite nature

thanks to God for His light and air.

At meeting of farmers union in
TexGs. the other day, resolutions were
adopted that are worth considering
by farmers in other parts of the coun-
try. Chief among their desires is one
for farmers library. Expression
was given to the sentiment that the
modern farmer must be a trained
thinker as well as trained doer.
One. of the resolutions adopted is In
part as follows:
With soil starved and depleted by ages
of unthoughtfuneSS: with diseases of
plants and animals increasing so rapidly
that every planter must intelligently
reckon with them: with the healthy and
desirable expansion in transportation
fierce, by bringing almost every product
In direct competition; with marketing
yearly becoming. more and more sci
ence worthy OF the shrewdest brain; with
fertilization requiring each season a
fuller knowledge of soil conditions. the
farmer requires for success more
thoughtful. more continuous study in
the technicalitieS of his profession than
ever before. This being true we recon-
mend that the Farmers Union of Harris
county and of the entire State of Texas
petition the next Legislature to provide
rieS by the commissioners courts of the
various counties. We recommend that
the law he so framed as to leave it OPP
tiOnal with each county, acting through
it's commissioners court. and that said
court shall have full authority to estab-
lish Il farmers library at the court house
and provide for the employment of a
competent librarian upon petition of 10
per cent. of the farmers of the county.
While there are books and reports upon
subjects pertaining to the farm to he
found in city libraries. the farmers do
not avail themselves of this reading for
the reason that they do not feel at home
in tn. city library. with its preponder
ance of fiction, designed to meet the need
of city readers ana city life: such Ii
brary can not meet the needs of the
farm. The farmer needs a library cal
culatrd to meet his individual needs
presided over by a librarian who makes
study of responding to the needs of the
patrons of that particular institution
and who is in sympathy with them.
For the above reasons we most heartily
recommend that our next Legislature
make suitable provisions for the estab-
lishment of farmers libraries, and we
ask the cooperation of the farming in
terests throughout the entire state of
Texas

defeat Of Mr. Buchanan, and so good n
