Is it we'll to marry the woman you
rescue from drowning? the New York
Evening Mail asks. The suit for d.
vorce for 'incompatibility of tempera-
ment," filed at Reno by a woman
whom her husband had plucked from
the sea at Asbury Park six years be-
fore, intimates that it is not we'll.
But wherefore? The reasons are
triple: CD People do not like to live
in constant presence of some one to
whom they r. under so heavy debt.
(2) Lifelong content in double har-
ness should rest on congenial tenn

summer girl, and therefore do not
envisage LIES realities.

Known AS Steady Conserva.
tive, Yet He introduced
Progressive Ideas.

Manual Training School for colored
children. During the new administra-
ton will be worked out the grade
vocational schools, intended for boys
who wish to learn trade, but do not
have time to continue their schooling
through the high schools. This has
been a pet project Of Mr.. Stuart's set
on foot two years ago.
Such auxiliaries Of the schools as the
school gardens and the school play
grounds have helped immensely to ce-
ment civic life and school work. An
other civic influence was welded with
school life when, with the cooperation
of Mr.. Bowerman, of the Public Ii
brary, a system of sending books from
there to schools and to summer GEN.
tiers was established.
At the same time he was encourag-
ing the newborn interest in athletics
Mr.. Stuart was reviving interest in the
d-fashioned debating societies. and
his efforts have resulted In the forma-
ton of both inter-high school athletic
bodies and debating associations,
which have been wonderfully successful
when its teams met contestants from
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other
cities.
According to his own statement Mr..
Stuarts success In great measure has
been due to his close and intimate ac-
quaintance with local conditions born
Of a lifelong residence here during
which he was pupil, teacher. and
supervising principal before he be-
came the chief executive of the schools
In 1870 Mr.. Stuart became a teacher
in the room now occupied by Secretary
of the Board Harry Hine, at the Frank
lin Building. In 1876 he was offered a
supervising principalship. which he
would not take, but a year later he
accepted that position and took charge
of the third division.
The only time since he left Colum-
bian College that Mr.. Stuart has not
been connected with the school system
was when he was general secretary OF
He remained as supervising principal
until 1900 when, after the famous con-
troversy, which ended in the removal
of w. B. Powell, he succeeded that
educator and brought order out of
chaos.
once more Mr. Stuart was called upon
10 set things straight, when, after let
ting go the helm from 1906 to 1908, school
affairs became pretty much tumbled
under the stormy reign of william E.
Chancellor. Mr.. Stuart resigned In 1906
because of Ill health. but two years
later he had so greatly improved that
when Mr.. Chancellor left he was pre-
vailed upon to accept the supertnten-
dency again. He was elected for a
/. 1g1i. after which he served a short
time and again resigned.
The notice of his resignation was the
signal for protests on all sides and
solicitations from scores of teachers
who wanted him to remain.
But no board ever tried to fire" him;
indeed, the great success of his Admin
istration is attributed largely to his sue
cess in conciliating his superiors as well
as winning. by his genial personality,
the men and women under him.
The Washington times., 1911-09-29

portant than any methods though, he
considers the building of healthy mind
ed, strong limbed men and women with
high ideals, and to this end he worked
| long to find scheme to bring about a
closer cooperation between parent and
teacher.
This. he believes, he found in the for
nation of the home and school asso-
years old, but which has already borne
fruit in fifteen such organizations, do
ing effectual work in conjunction with
the teachers associations.
Despite the introduction of new ideas.
Mr.. Stuart has insisted that the schools
should be free from "fads."
Amy one subject, when 1t is ridden
as hobby" he declares, can be-
come a fad. But l do not class mu-
sic or art or physical culture as hob
bies or fads because they have become
fundamentals of education. They only
border on the fad stage when they be-
gin to crowd out arithmetic, reading,
or any Of the major studies"
Taking for his slogan, practical edu-
cation" he began Immediately upon
taking office to develop the movement,
which had already found expression
in a technical course in old Central
High School. to the dignity of a high
school entirely devoted to technical and
scientific subjects until he obtained the
erection of the Mckinley Manual
Training School, now recognized as
one Of the best equipped technical pre-
paratory schools in this country.

has made himself felt in the modifica-

Side by side with some of Mr.. Stuart's
progressive ideas stands his oft declared

OF all education. On becoming super

To Have New PostOffce.

Orangeburg, Jan. 20.-Work on
the new postofice for Orangeburg
will be commenced about the middle
of August, according to a letter re-
ceived by Postmaster A. D. Webster
from Congressman Lever recently.
Mr.. Lever stated that he called
around at the treasury department
and learned that 100000 will be
available for the starting OF the
building in August. The supervls-
ing governmental architect is pre-
pairing plans for the postoftice and
Orangeburg is to have an excellent
building.
. The first appropriation bill passed
carried $4,000 for Orangeburg. OF
this amount $4,000 was paid for a
lot upon which to erect the building.
A later appropriation bill carried
$4,000 more for Orangeburg, and
there will be $4,000 for Orange
burg to put into building and fix
lures. In order to receive this $1O,-
600 additional appropriation, Or
angeburg has had to wait two years.

Bamberg Boy Promoted.

From the Telegraph and Telephone
Age, published in New York, we take
the following in reference to the pro-
motion of a Bamberg boy, and in this
connection it might be mentioned
with all truth that Bamberg boys al
ways make good away from home:
"Mr. Augustus J. Eaves, of the
Postal Telegraph-Cable Company's
Pittsburg Office, has been appointed
to a position in the office Of the elec-
trical engineer at New York. Mr.
Eaves was born in Bamberg, S. c..
July 27, 1881, and began his tele-
graphic career on the Southern Rail-
way in 1900. He entered the Postal
Company's service in Pittsburg where
he has filled the positions of repeater
chief, wire chief, and night chief op'
orator. He occupied the latter posi-
ton when he was called to New
York to take up more important du-
ties in the engineers department.

States has a few farmers who plant
the early varieties. Get the seed
from them. Learn the first lessons
of seed selection and breeding and
raise your own planting seed, either
by a selection from the field or by
means of a seed patch of cotton
Write your State department Of agri-

The second method to be introduce
ed in advance of the arrival Of the
weevil is to build up the land you
hope to put in cotton. Always keep
in mind that from necessity you
must produce enough cotton for
both yourself and the weevil.
How can you do this?
First, by putting the land in the
best mechanical condition by start
ing now to plow deeper so that in
three years you will have doubled
the depth of your soil.
Second, by adding humus to your
soil, which is not fertilizer, but only
the medium in the soil that renders
the fertilizer available to the plant.
Third, by rotation of crops to pre-
vent the exhaustion of humus con-
serving the fertilizer and to help kill
fungi disease and to destroy the nat
ural pests which only multiply and
thrive when the same plant condi-
