BE PREPARED.


a great many people prefer to slide
along the line OF least resistance, to
get along just as easy as they can, to
paying the price in preparation for
something better They are not will
ing to prepare themselves for a wider,
larger place. They know that their
education is deficient. that they lack
special training; and they know that
they could manage. somehow. to re-
pair their deficiencies. but they lack
the energy 10 do SO. They prefer to
slide along in an easy-going way, with
Sxhe least trouble possible to them
selves.
How many wrecks. how many in
complete and wretehed lives we see
everywhere because people did not
think it worth while to prepare for
nuch Of career. They thought they
would get just a little education TO
help them along; just enough for prac-
tical use. They did not think 1t worth
while to dig down deep and lay broad
foundations. They did not see life as
a whole.
The reason why the lives Of SO many
people are mean and stingy ana juice
less is because they put so little into
them, they make such a meager pre-
paration IN education, In culture. in
training. In thinking. Their harvest

Obviously the regulation of excava-
ton is the most important part of the
law governing expectation of works of
art. The provisions that concern pri-
vate collections and dealers have a re-
prospective and obsolete look, and
these requirements could be abolished,
retaining merely general right of ex-
portation, without seriously altering
the situation. Why, then, do these
Italians keep these tardy restrictions on
the statute book? Because they are a
thrifty and sensible people, undismay
ed by fear of ridicule when they have
a practical aim, however minute or
imperfectly realized, to compass. The
present law of expectation does raise
a certain amount of revenue and
bring to the museum at favorable
prices a number of desirable objects.
If it does not prevent smuggling, it
makes it difficult and odious. The
Italians, 1 repeat, have certain Latin
qualities of looking beyond formal in
constituencies to actual effects. They
coin proverbs, but do not fear them.

Growth OF Sonth.

Fifty years ago practically no water
powers OF any size were utilized in
the South, but the growth of the tex
tile industries in the Southern states
and the advance in the knowledge of
transmitting electric power have Civ
en- wonderful impetus to their de-
pecially marked during the last Ave
or ten years, and the Increase during
that time has been many fold. Today
many Of the cotton mills and other
factories OF the South are operated
by electric power from the neighbor-
ing rivers. and electric light compan-
les and railroads have come into life
without the construction of steam
plants to provide power. Water pow
ers which for generations have re-
manned idle are now being utilized
with splendid returns upon the money
required for their development.
The wonderful industrial growth of
the Southern states has been partial
ly due to the development of the water
powers. South Carolina, which form
erly had practically no mills, now
stands second only to Massachusetts, in
the number of its spindles, while North
Carolina and Georgia stand, respect
lively, fourth and fifth in rank as cot
ton goods manufacturers. During the
last fifteen years, for which figures
are available, while Massachusetts, in
creased her output of cotton goods
400 per cent and Rhode Island 8 per
cent, South Carolina has increased 100
per cent, North Carolina $50 per cent,
there we're $4,000 spindles in oper-
alton in the South. In 1890 the num-
Der was 1,712,000, and in 1905 it
had increased to 100000. In 1880
the. capital invested in cotton mills
$4,000, 900. and in 1906 $225, 000,-
900, while the value of the cotton
crop has increased over $350,000, 900.
During the same period the capital

Water powers have been developed
on nearly every river of any size
from the Potomac to the Gulf, and
les now have either electric energy
delivered to them from water powers
or have in contemplation plans for the
utilization of such power. the cheap
enable them to compete with their
neighbors. Great plants are now in
operation on the James, Cape Fear,
Yadkin. Catawba, Broad, Savannah,
and other streams, and the cities of
Charlotte, Augusta, Atlanta, Rich
mond. Raleigh, Greenville, and many
others are building electric energy de-
veloped by water power to a very
large and rapidly increasing degree.
Already water powers aggregating
more than 100000 horse power have
been developed and are being utilized.
Today there are hundreds of miles
of copper and aluminium wire stretch
ed upon steel towers and wooden
poles, carrying energy a distance of
from so to 100 miles from the source
of power and making possible the con-
struction of mills and factories at
points favorable to transportation and
to health, instead of requiring the mill
to be built on low ground close to
the river, where i'll health and con-
sequent poor work are bound to fol-
low, thus greatly reducing the output
of the cotton mills.-Henry A. Pressey,
in American Review of Reviews.
