Mr.. Mann said the free list bill, in.
troduced by the democrats as the first
OF their tariff measures, was drawn In
accurately, indefinitely and with such
general language that 1t might be
stretched to include almost half the
imports on which the United States
now collects tariff revenues.
He said the bill was so drawn that II
would admit free the leather from
which the farmers shoes were made,
but would exclude that from which his
wife's shoes were made. II put q
premium on foreign labor, he said, by
permitting these special kinds OF leath

partly made up.

to the properties contained in caffeine.
He was asked to state when his
change of mind had occurred. He
was unable to give the date.

SOUTH WAKING UP.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 26.-The
Railway World is commenting editor
tally on the work done by the rail-
ways Of the United States to aid in
the development of the territory ira
versed by their lines, in referring to
this work in the South says:
"In no section of the country, more
than in the South, have these efforts
to awaken the people to a realization
of the great wealth which lies dor
Rant through lack Of proper devel-
oment, been more persistently carried
on. The prime mover in that section
of the country has been the Southern
railway and perhaps no single man in
the history of railway development
has performed SO effective work along
these lines as has the president of
that great system. For years Mr..
FTnley's faith and enthusiasm in the
ability Of the South to take advantage
of its vast resources, has never wav-
cred. Through his untiring efforts
he has been responsible for no small
part Of that enthusiasm and conf
dence which is now prevailing in that
section Of the country and which
means so much for future develop
ment aid prosperity.
""The enthusiasm with which nine
thousand delegates to the Southern
commercial congress held last week
in Atlanta and who represented every
Important trade organization in the
Southern States, greeted every eX-
preston of confidence in the Souths
future was a revelation to the big
men of business and state, who, from
:al sections of the country, went to
Atlanta to participate in the activities
of the congress. While not presuming
to trace the influence of this move
-1nent unduly to the railroads of the
South, we'll Informed men in that Sec
ton will not deny that the effective
educational work Of the railroads has
proved no small factor in bringing
about the present highly encouraging
conditions If the value Of such work
was more fully recognized AMI appre-
ciated by the public, much Of the un-
reasoning antagonis'n of the present
day would be replaced by & feeling
Of gratitude and an acnest d"slre to
conserve those io5,:ascs which are
constantly striving to increase The
development and rros. .,2rity of the
communities and localities which they
serve. Furthermore, the fact that
shere activities are based largely on
business principles, does not in the
least detract from their value, nor
from the credit of those whose initia-
tive and unfagging energy have made
them great public benefactors."

gagged and the courses arranged. In
a few weeks a complete circular OF
| information may be obtained by re-
quest directed to President D. B.
Johnson, Rock Hill, S. C.
i Before the rural schools close,
! however, I wish to direct the special
attention of the rural teachers and
! trustees to the advantages Of the
summer school.
Many Of the rural teachers OF
! South Carolina have been denied the
privilege Of college courses and PIC
fessicnal training for teaching. IN a
peculiar sense The sumner school for
teachers is the uormal c)llege of tne
country teacher. 1t is here only that
We have opportunity to come into liv-
| ing touch with educational principles
and methods, to exchange ideas, and
to form the friendships which break
the professional isolation Of the rural
teacher.
In addition to the usual courses in
the elementary and secondary sub
iects, the summer school has arrang-
ed to offer certain courses designed
especially to aid the rural teachers.
Among these will he included the fol-
lowing:
/. Special Problems of the Rural
School.
2. Special Methods and Devices for
the Rural Schools.
8. Rural School Agriculture and
School Gardening.
4. Domestic Science for Rural
Schools.
5. Practical Manua1 Training for
Rural Schools.
During the session there will be
held a conference on Rural Life and
a conference on County Superintend~
ents of Education.
The cost of board, including room
and light, will be s18 for the whole
term (four weeks); S. a week for
time less than the whole session, and
81 a day for less than week. A
matriculation fee OF SIS to cover the
four weeks work will be charged.
Teachers should engage rooms at
once:
In my opinion a school district
could make no better investment than
to encourage in a substantial way the
attendance OF teachers of the sum-
mer school. An increase in salary
for the next year conditioned on at
tendance at the school would enable
the teacher to take the course without
expense and would yield large returns
to the district in increased efficiency.

State Supervisor of Elementary Rural
Schools.
