Moving Pictures.

Moving pictures have moved up from
the plane Of light entertainment to q
place in the educational system. Nov
ing picture machines have already been
installed in many schools in some states
and become one of the most important
methods Of instruction. Says the Lit
Orary Digest: mo more will school
children pour over dry books Of geo
graphy. By means Of moving pictures
they will actually see the countries and
their peoples as they actually are and
live."
Educators say that the impression
made on a child's mind by such exhibi'
tions is not only more vivid but much
more accurate and lasting than vague
ideas culled from books.
History will be taught in the same
way and other branches. However, the
coming generations will have tn learr
the multiplication table, spelling, gram
mar and other things in the same OLE
way. And when biographies are abol
ished from school rooms what is a DO,
to use to hide the Old Sleuth novel HI
is reading?

MACON SUBSCRIPTIONS
PROPOSED
TO MISSTSSIPPPS CON
STITUTION.

STITUTION.
There are three amendments
to our State constitution to be
voted on at the November cleo
ton.
The first on the ballot is simply
preparatory of the third and only
provides that the legislative pow
er shall be vested in the people
as well as the legislature. Those
who favor the third amendment
should vote for this. Others not.
The second one on the ballot
provides that a three-fourth's
majority Of a jury Of twelve may
find a verdict in civil cases. When
it is recalled how often one stub
born or influenced man on a jury
has prevented a just verdict the
other eleven knew to be correct
and just, ones inclination is to
support this amendment. 1t will
prevent one, or two, or three
men from hanging a jury, thus
expediting the final disposition of
cases by preventing mistrials. 1t
will lessen the evil of compro-
mise verdicts which are neither
just nor correct, nor meet the
views of any one of the jury. In
matters,of,very great Importance,
such as the election of a presi-
dent, a majority vote is sufficient.
It is true that in elections the vo-
tiers arc passing on tfrcfr own in-1
t~erests, while on juries they are
passing on the rights of other
men. But in civil cases certainly
nine or more men are very apt to
be correct. If not the trouble
will not be with this new jury
law but with the jurors and the
people whence they were drawn.
INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
The third amendment proposes
to put into effect the initiative
and referendum in Mississippi,
This is SO palpably unwise and
inexpedient for our state that il
scarcely needs argument against
it. Its proposal was a wild shot

ChnIce of a Trade

Did you ever notice that 1t does not
really matter what trade one adopts.
II 1t is possible to throw ones whole
being into it? One man makes a
great fortune out Of a shoe blacking
made from an old recipe. another by
sweeping chimneys. Carpenters,
blacksmiths, miners, shepherds. brok
ers, bakers and bankers. all produce
rich or noted men from their ranks.
Find out what you would most like
to do; what you are best fitted to do.
and set to work at 1t in grim earnest.
Be earnest. that is the great thing.
BARRIERS and telegraphers are needed
in the world. Good wages are paid at
the top in both trades. In preference
try and work at what will enable you
to get all the profit out of your work
and brains yourself. instead of hiring
them to others; but one cannot al
ways accomplish this.

WORKERS AND OILERS
BOTH TO BE FOUND IN ALL
STRATA OF SOCIETY.
Cause of Misunderstanding Is That
Only the Worst Side of the Case
Is Looked At

For indeed the fact is that there are
busy poor and busy rich. Many a
Deggar is as lazy as II ne had $4,000
year; and many a man of large for.
tune is buster than his errand boy
and never would think OF stopping in
the street to play marbles. So that,
In large view, the distinction be-
tween workers and idlers, as between
knaves and honest men, runs through
the very heart and innermost econo-
mics of men of all ranks and In all
positions
There is a working class-strons
and happy-among both rich and poor
there is an idle class-weak, wicked
and miserable-am among both rich and
poor. And the worst of the misunder-
standings arising between the two or
ders come of the unlucky fact that the
wise of one class habitually contem-
plate the foolish of the other.
If the busy rich people watched and
rebuked the idle rich people. all would
be right; and If the busy poor people
watched and rebuked the idle poor
people, all would be right But each
class has a tendency to look for the
faults Of the other. A Woodworking
man Of property is particularly offend
ed by an idle beggar; and an orderly.
but poor workman is naturally 1ntol
Grant of the ncentious luxury of the
t. 4,,Ic nj in
the minds of the Just men of either
class becomes fierce enmity in the I'M
just-but among the unjust only.
None but the dissolute among the
poor look upon the rich as their nat
ural enemies, or desire to pillage their
house and divide their property None
but the dissolute among the rich speak
in opprobrious terms of the vices and
follies of the poor-Ruskin.

BOYS ADJUSTMENTS IN CUBA
Spin Tops In Spring Just Like Their
American Cousins-Reason for
Custom Is Problem

Boys certainly are boys the world
over. and the little Cuban youngster
is as like Young America as two peas
in pod, says a Havana correspondent
In the New York Sun. Just why the
Cuban hopeful should resort to the
sport of top spinning In the springtime
and no other is inexplicable, but 1t Is
true here just as it is in the states.
It is not remarkab Bile that they should
spin tops. The strange thing about 1t
is that they should only take up this
amusement in the spring. In the
United States there is a reason for
this. The winter has kept the young
sters more or less bottled up and the
sports he has INDUCED in have had
their reason III cold weather. With
the coming of the warm spring days
and the disappearance of snow and
ice, the top inevitably appears first
of all and has its run until super
seeded by marbles, the playing of which
is better suited to the still warmer
days following.
But in Cuba there is no such reason
So far as the climate Is concerned the
youngsters can spin tops successfully
from one end of the year to the other
Why do they do 1t only In the spring?
That this is a fact cannot be contro-
verified, and it is done, too, by boys
who have never set foot on American
soil. Nor has the practice come with
the American flag
Is 1t then psychological? Is there
anything in the mental makeup of the
species boy which irresistibly compels
him to seek his top in the months of
March and April? Can 1t be heredi-
tary. handed down through all the
ages from the days Of Noah's ark?
Now If this be not the explanation
of the reason why Yankees in a cold
climate and Cubans In a hot one spin
tops in the same months OF the spring
and at no other time, let some student
of the race furnish another.
