WHAT Is DIRT?
How the Question Was Answered by a
Professor Of Chemistry.

Professor of Chemistry.
An old college professor used to say
to his students: What is dirt? Don't
be afraid of little dirt, young gentle
man. What is dirt? Why, nothing at
all offensive when chemically viewed.
Rub little alkali upon that dirty
grease spot on your coat, and IL under
goes a chemical change and becomes
soap. Now rub it with a little water,
and 1t disappears 1t is neither grease,
soap, water nor dirt.
THAT is not a very odorous pile of
dirt you observe there. Well, scatter
a little gypsum over it. and 1t is no
longer dirty. Everything you call dirt
is worthy OF your notice as students
Of chemistry. Analyze 1t, analyze It'll
1t will all separate into very clear ele-
ments.
Dirt makes corn, corn makes bread
and meat, and that makes a very
sweet young lady that l saw one OF
you kissing last night. So, after all,
you were kissing dirt particularly If
she whitened her skin with chalk or
fuller's care
There is no telling. young gentlemen,
what Is dirt, though l may say that
rubbing such stuff upon the beautiful
skin of young lady is dirty prac-
tice. Nice. pearly face powder is made
of bismuth-nothing but dirt. - Ex-
change.

THE OPIUM CONFERENCE.
A Concerted Attack Upon a Widespread
Evil


| Though the movement from which it
had its origin began with special refer.
ence to the Chinese situation, the confer
ence was not an effort to correct the
morals of China by other nations. In
vestigation, especially during the past
! four years, has revealed an alarming
amount OF drug abuse in countries Of the
East and West The conference was II
concerted attack upon widespread evil,
all participating nations aiming to pro-
feet themselves by protecting one an
other Our objective point was, as far
a3 might be, to relegate opium, its aka
loids and derivatives, together with 9TH
er habit forming drugs, TO the sphere of
medicine
Legislation, however drastic and thor
ough, will never eradicate the abuse OF
opium or intoXicants. With feet wings
contraband opium sails merrily through
the well framed opium defense OF the
Philippines. There is no law that can
not be defeated by the clever wicked,
and the most it can hope to do is to
make a modest contribution toward bet
tcrment. When The Hague convention
shall have been finally ratified by the
nations we shall have accomplished we'll

still remain to be done. Each nation.
by intoxicating principles OF reverence for
the body, by removing conditions of life
provocative of RIGHTEOUSNESS and by en-.
comaging self-respect, must build up its
citizens into safety. China, centuries
since a drunken nation. by industry and
self discipline grew to be a sober nation.
Later through lack of vigilance and sta
bility and through the greed for gain OF
other nations, she fell into opium abuse.
When freed from this latter of which
there is every prospect in the not dis
tant future, she may again lapse INTO
unless both she and the
western world put up effective bars of
self -restraint in the production and dis |
of intoXieants. which are as

way, here is pointer for the bust

ment of grain judging, where large
class of young men were just begin
ming work, and practical and profit
able demonstration was witnessed.
Next visit was made to the lecture
room of agronomy, where a class was
attending a lecture by Dr. Morgan
upon the Soil Formations and
Values" From there Professor Kyle
led the visitors to the field where the
cadet corps formed and marched to
the mess hall for dinner. Colonel Mil
ner, and Professors Irwin and Kyle
led the visitors to their tables, where
all enjoyed the dinner with the thou
sand cadets.
The visitors were then conducted to
the lecture room in the agricultural
hall, where Prof. T. w. Parker in a
few well chosen remarks stated the
occasion for the visit and introduced
as the first speaker Professor Kyle.
His subject was "The Rural School
as an Assistant to the A. and M. Col.
lege, or Source by Which the A. and
M. College May Reach the Farmer"
This is the first time in the history
OF the college," said Professor Kyle,
that the teachers of Brazos county
have ever held such meeting as this
on the campus, but we hope it is only
the beginning of many and frequent
visits, not only of this but other coun-
ties. Because OF the close relationship
of the teacher with rural life the
teacher can be a source of great ben
eft to the farmer in securing an agri-
cultural education by the help of our
farm extension department. We want
to go hand in hand with the rural
schools of the state in carrying infor-
nation to the farmer. Ninety per cent
of the scholars under your charge will
go back. to the farm. Be careful that
you encourage them to do so, and
to make the farm attractive and profit
able"
Prof. C. M. Evans was next intro
duced and made an earnest appeal for
the extension of the boys and girls
corn club work through the aid of the
teachers. 1t is also proposed to intro
duce the girls canning and poultry
club work in Brazos county this year.
He said: "Over in Milan county some
of the young girls of that club this
season raised enough tomatoes and
truck on their one-tenth of an acre
to pay the family grocery bill. One

mo industry is SO vital to the wei.
fare of a nation as agriculture, and
nothing is so vital to agriculture as
the soil. How to use and not abuse
this great resource is the most impor-
tant problem which faces the farmer
OF today-one worthy of the best ef-
forts of our most profound and
learned scientists; for upon it's solu-
tion depends the future prosperity of
the nation"
The above is a statement from Bull
letin IS of the bureau of soils rela-
tive to the soils of the country. How
to reach the masses with the results
OF practical experiments that the
greatest good may be derived is the
next question. The rural teacher has
a powerful influence and this may be
made the source of unlimited benefit
to any community IL utilized in the
right direction. In order that it may
be so utilized, the teacher should be
brought in close touch with the source
of expert information. This is exactly
what Mr.. J. Webb Howell had in
mind when he extended to the teach
ers of Brazos county an invitation to
visit the A. and NJ. College as his
guests and at the same time arranged
with President Miner for practical
demonstration of the work in the diff
ferent departments for the benefit of
the visitors. Colonel Miner and the
heads of the different departments,
ever ready to grasp any source of
reaching the masses, recognizing this
as source of quick transmission,
readily placed every source of informa-
ton at the disposal of the visitors,
and most profitable Saturday was
spent by thirty of the teachers of the
county, every one of them being pro-
fuse in their thanks to Mr.. Howell,
Colonel Miner, Professor Kyle and all
the others who had so kindly given
of their time for, a pleasant occasion.
The company arrived at the college
at 1890 a. m. and were met at the
car by Professor Kyle, who conducted
the company to the office of the presi-
dent, who extended the teachers a
warm welcome to the college, assur-
ing them that it was his wish that
they come as often as possible. Next
the machine and woodworking shops
We're visited, and the work of the
classes witnessed. Next visit to the
textile building was made, and the
different processes of cloth making
explained! 1t was explained that the

tables. None Of them had ever tried
1t before. There are forty-flve girls In
that club, every one of whom culti-
waited one-tenth of an acre at a great
profit. Over In Marion county, where
last year not an empty tin can was
sold, five carloads were sold this year,
and at the close of the season not a
can was left.
"Oh, yes" said he. 1--WE teach the
head, heart, hand, health: head to

full useful, skillful; health to resist
disease, enjoy life, be efficient"
He described a correspondence
course that would be added to the
club work this year. Every boy or
girl of any of the clubs will receive a
letter of instruction every month.
Dr. Morgan, the next speaker, said:
I'VE must depend upon you teachers
for large part of our work. The few
and not the masses come here. We
must reach the masses with our in
formation through the rural teacher"
Professor Irwin told the teachers
that they were not reaching their
highest usefulness unless they taught
men how to earn living.
Professor Potts address on "How
Good Roads Will Assist the Rural
School" was a practical plea for the
school to help them to help them.

Professor Ridgway's address upon
"The Dairy Industry" was a practical
illustration of the dairy COW as a
profitable investment.
On the return trip motion was
put and unanimously carried extend
ing thanks to Mr.. Howell, Colonel
Miner, Professor Kyle and all others
who had participated in making the
day such a great pleasure to the Wis
itors. The reporter was charged to
