FEAR OF TEE MOB.

FEAR Cf IHE MO6.
Fear of ridicule has ruined many
mortalS.
Captain John FTrisbie, bird man"
on the day be had been advertised to
make demonstration discovered that
his biplane was not working properly.
Because of the defects Of the machine
he decided he would not go up in 1t.
Whereat the crowd, which had paid
to see the fight, jeered Frisbie.
They called him coward and faker.
Personal vanity and dread Of un.
popularity made the man change his
mind-against his better judgment.
Dread of ridicule moved him to risk
his life.
Frisbie went up.
He came down-dead.
Had he been possessed Of the cour-
age of his convictions he calmly would
have faced the crowd with his an
nouncement and turned his back upon
it.
But with physical courage that did
not fear to risk his life he lacked the
moral courage to disregard the taunts
of a mob.
He feared ridicule more than death.
Like many Smother, he lacked prop
er conception of real courage.
He is not the brave man who does
things because somebody calls him
coward. On the contrary, he is the
coward who is moved against his
sense of right doing by dread of ridi-
cule.
Recklessness is not bravery. Fool
hardness is not courage.
The brave man is the man who can
not be driven to desperation or the
committal of wrong by the derision
of one man or Of 10000 men.
The crowd does not care.
If the Frisbies can be taunted into
recklessness and incidentally get kill
ed in giving the crowd its 'thrill"-
Willy. that is Tie lookout Of the FITS
Later indeed the crowd may indulge
Il cheap remorse-at the funeral But
that is rather late to help the dead
itliShirS
If need be-stand alone!
Is the choice between getting, killed
by going UP when you ought not to
go or being killed by the crowd!
Then let the crowd do the killing
and save your convictions.

be corrected Immediately. we y,
can't afford to teach our chill
dren out of books that are so
careless. It seems strange. too.
That some of the books should
be correct as to the above while
others are not. In my school
nearly all of the books have the
above errors.
It seems to me that the pub
fishers should redeem all such
books wherever found in the
state and replace them at their
own expense with new ones:
I would like for the State

dren, of when George was the oldest,
and upon her tirstborn Mary Washing:
ton put tie impact of her forceful
character Size vas great woman.
At the age Of sixteen George wanted
to run away" and seek adventures,
but his mc.her kept tight grip on
the boys affections, and be stayed.
Shortly cane great test.
The thunder clouds Of black war
burst with :; startling crash over the
devoted beads Of the American colo
nists. Tie Washingtons were wealthy
landowners. Which side would they
take?
The son of Mary Washington, nobly
backed by his patriot mother, cast his
lot with the ragged Continenta!s.
When the Continental congress turn
ed coward. when he was constantly
beset with spies and jealous generals.
it was the spirit of~his self sacrificing
mother. joined to his own indomitable
patience. that kept him on the field OF
honor.
And later
When the long red years Of war
were ended it was the mother spirit
within him tliat asked no greater re-
ward than peacefully to retire to his
quiet farm. He was no conquering
Napoleon.
1t is gratifying to know that Mary
Washington lived to see the boy Of her
pride made the first president Of the
republic.
Where got he that self abresation.
that high courage and faith? There
was woman behind him.
Do you remember that old rule OF
physics about finding the striking force
of moving body: You multiply the
velocity Of lie moving body-if cor
rectiy renember-by the weight Of the
body, ard that gives the striking force.
So Of man.
Multiply bis best cndeavors by bis
heredity (his ancestors) and you get
the impact. the striking force of that
man upon the society or his day.
Therefore to get the striking force
Of George Washington you must multi
ply the man by his mother.

SCHOOL BOOKS.
II VIII Work a Great Hardship
On the Deserving Poor OF
South Carolina.

The change in the school books
made by the State Board OF Ed
ucation this year will, it is estl-
mated, cost the people at least a
half million of deuars.- This is
a considerable amount, and
. when it is remembered that i
comes out of the pockets of those
who have children to educate Il
is much larger, and represe ats a
greater tax on this class than II
it was paid by all the people by
way of taxation.
The greater proportion OF
those who have this expense to
bear are, generally speaking,
poor people who can ill afford It.
Some, doubtless, will NOTICE able
to buy the books, and will there
fore lose the benefits OF the
schools.
Under the present law in this
state the State Education Board
has the right to designate what
text books shall be studied in
the public schools. and are au-
thorized to adopt them every
i've years. They may, if they
So wish, make complete or
wholesale changes in ali the
books every five years.
That was done this year,
with very few exceptions
Many of the books used in the
schools last year and for the
previous five years were discard
ed and another kind adopted in
their stead by the State Board,
which has entailed an expense of
at least a half million dollars on
the people who have children to
educate.
It is said by some of the lead
ing educators of the state that
the books adopted, or at least
some of them, are inferior to the
ones heretofore used, and with
them. Especiallg

- @ or exc found some
ss5s'gdlfY ssne It Errors in the South
coae aetsn assnesision of Maury's New
70 fsssss Geography. These er-
1eaaoaos occur in all the books,
sssitaI8 out Of 81 copies in one
Grade have the following serious
rlisstatement of facts. I quote
the words of the book:
Higher Education-Through
out the history of the state at,
tention has been paid to the sub,
iect of education. South Caro-,
lima College was Established at
Columbus in 1901. In 1906
it was made by act Of the legis-
lature the University OF South

cluded Clafin College for color
ed students at Orangeburg. The
Clemson Agricultural College,
which is known as the SColored
Normal, Industrial and Mechsn-
icah College, ETC.. about the
other colleges in the state.
It seems from the above that
our beloved Clemson College is
a normal for colored students.
while these books will not be
studied but very little outside Of
our own state, still we do not
enjoy the sentiment of such an
l,ncauedfer error. Note also
that South Carolina, College was
established at Columbus in 1901,
instead of Columbia. I did not
know before that Cadin College
Cor colored students at Orange
burg was a part of the Univer-
sity of South Carolina:
In naming the list Of colleges
in the state the book does not
mention Chicora College and
Greenyille Female College, at
Greenville. and Limestone Col
lege, at Gaffney. ] note that
al the colored colleges in the
state are mentioned. Under the
head of Military Schools it gives
a military institute at Anderson.
On page 9 it states that Ander-
son county is a prosperous one,
and that the city of Anderson
has a large trade in cotton and
rice" How about the 'rice9"
The rest is true. On page 10 we
note the following about Wal
halla: Walhalla, capital of Oco-
nee county, is delightfully."- stu
ated near the mountains, and a
fayorite summer resort. It is
actively engaged in trade and
manufactures, The town is the
seat of Adger College (Presbyte:
rian). This college went out of
existence over twenty years ago.
On page 10 of the descriptive
part of the book this error is
found in some of the books in

President Barker was a most unusual man
and he was proud Of the distinction: Over
his desk hung a framed motto. ''If you want
to achieve unusual success YOU must adopt
unusual Methods and he had acted on it in
every step of his business careeer. He tried
TO do everything differently from other peo
pie.
Ten years before he had started the Barker
Wagon works with capital of $4,000 and
head Of steam which would have burst loco

great business with paid up capital of

tho fact that he was n millionaire with more
than a millionaire IS income did not satisfy

or distinctive about his position.
One day he read the headline of magazine
advertisement; "Make Your Business Auto
matte" The idea pleased him He set about
carrying it out in the conduct of his own
great business.
He studied books on business system lie
adopted all sorts of mechanical and automatic
aids in business. Gradually he began TO see
the possibility OF making himself personally
famous as the foremost exponent of system in
business.

His first years work in the direction of
winning a historic nickname was compare

bookkeepers: he put in time stamps and time
recorders; he devised system of red and
blue cards which followed every Job of

Barker was accustomed TO say with a grim
smile he supposed it, was too much to expect
the operators who wrote the letters TO do the
same.
So far it should in fairness, be noted that

and money, simpl6ed the transaction of bust
ness. and did everything that the warmest
advocate Of system in business claimed for it,

the push button idea and discovered that IT
held tremendous possibilities
Now. a push button or two on a man S desk

he due to an ingenious desire to indicate the
Importance of their owner 10 the casual
caller; they may even be legitimate aids IN
the expedition Of business But President
Barker soon had whole organ keyboard OF
push buttons running across the front of his
desk. The upper row was given up to but
tons connecting with the various departments
in the factory. There was one for the assistant
general manager and another for the man who
striped the wagon whoels there was n button
TO stop the engines; to turn in fire alarm;
to blow the factory whistle; TO summon his
automobile; TO order drink of water There
were so many buttons that sometimes "Old
SYSTEM got mixed up on them and pushed
the button which ordered all the windows in
the factory thrown open when all he wanted
was a stenographer.
This was well enough but il did not match
with President Barker s ambition TO be
known only as tho 'Push Button Man.
And after all. there were evidently limits to
the development along that line
Finally there came to him. as he lay tossing
on his bed one night-hc always regarded 1t
as an insplration-tbe great idea of his
Automatic General Manager. Here was an
entirely new and original discovery in the
line of business system. 1t took him months
to study it all out Then with great secrecy
ne had the first Automatic General Manager
made and now he was ready TO give il its
first real trial.
He had not found Vice President Brooks
and the other officers of his company enthusi-
astic over the Automatic General Manager
but that only made him more determined to
demonstrate the wonderful possibilities OF the
idea.
As was perfectly fitting and proper, the
Automatic General Manager had q room all 10
itself. The room kept locked. one key
being in the possession of President Barker
aud tho other the KEY ring OF wee PresI-
dent Brooks so there was no chance that i'm
pious hands should desecrate its mysteries.
The Automatic General Manager consisted,
in the first place, Of large framed board,
which hung against the wall. Down the left
hand column of this board were painted in
column file the names of all the departments
in the Barker Wagon works. After each
name, in column 10 the right, was little
