What may be regarded as the boards
most important appropriation was that
for the establishment of the Seaman
A. Knapp School of Country Life. The
late DR.. Seaman A. Knapp had been in
charge for the past ten years of the
farmers cooperative demonstration
work in the South. In connection with
this gift the following statement was
issued:
"The general education board recog-
nizes that the George Peabody College
for Teachers at Nashville, Tenn, prom
ises to render conspicuous and perma-
nent service in the promotion of popu-
lar education throughout the Southern
states. It also recognizes that the Pea
body education fund during its long
years of service to the South has been
largely instrumental in bringing about
the promising conditions which call for
just such an institution as this en-.
larged college for the training of teach
ers. It further recognizes that the af-
iliation of this institution with Wander
bilt University will greatly enhance
the value of both institutions. The
board has, therefore, watched with
sympathetic interest the progress of the
new movement.
"The general education board has
been interested in the promotion of prac-
teal farming in the Southern states and
in the development of an efficient sys-
tenn of rural schools. The George Pea
body College for Teachers proposes 10
train leaders for rural schools; not for
the traditional rural school, but a new
school, which shall meet the needs of
an agricultural population.

EDUCATE AGAINST sELFlsHNEss.

S66T 90
Recently addressing a body Of New
England students. Richard Olney, sec
rotary Of state under President Cleve.
land. urged them to the duty of sub.
ordinating interests Of their respective
future crafts to the highest claims OF
citizenship. Which is only another
way of saying. that in educating
young people We should teach them
nrst the art Of living. and second. what.
ever art by which they are to live; that
is, that living comes before getting a
livelihood. The claims Of citizenship
are above those of any trade or profess
sion. Our schools that go in for the
vocational training, eminently good in
itself, need to look out lest they lay
the chief stress upon the matter Of
getting hold Of technical knowledge as
the lea of making a living. The
schools, none of them, are teaching too
much about how to become good and
worthy citizens. how to make dyna-
mic men and women out Of ordinary
boys and girls. There is the place for
the stress. That. We think. is what Mr..
Olney had in mind when he urged
those students to sink selfish plans
for immediate ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in the
larger purpose Of doing good and be-
ing good for their country, says the
omaha Bee. For as sure as they do
they Will have no difficulty in picking
up a livelihood somewhere. So II our
curriculums could be made to teach
n throw their weight against selfish
ness in education our educational sys-
tenn would be improved right here.

Beef Prices HIGHER.

New York.-The highest price since
1882 was reached by the beef whole.
sale market here today when it sold at
13 IL cents a pound in bulk. 1t is said
to mean from 1 IL to 3 cents a pound
increase for prime meats ct retail. The
primary cause of the high prices, the
wholesale men say, is the continued
scarcity of cattle. Small retail dealers
continue to talk of ruination of their
business because consumers are greatly
curtailing meat purchases.

RAILWAY TERMINALS

James j. Hill Says Lack Of
Finances Is Back of Car
Shortage.

New York. Dec 2l.-"The commerce
of the country can escape disaster only
by additions to, and engagements Of
railway terminals" declared James j..
Hill, formerly president of the Great
Northern railway. last night in a
speech at the annual banquet of the
Railway Business association when
the railroad yards are filled with cars
that cannot be moved, the railroad
loses a portion Of its earnings" he said,
but the business man loses larger
share Of his trade and the working
man his employment
Back of the lack of proper terminal
facilities, Mr.. Hill declared, was the
question of finances. Impairment Of
credit. decretsed earning power and in
creased expenses, he said, made it inn
possible for the railways to borrow
money advantageously and build these
necessary terminals
THE railroads should be permitted"
he argued, ito earn and hold surplus
equal to so per cent of the amount
they pay out in dividends, to be held
for emergency cases, and applied to
improved facilities. The people must
realize that regulation must not be

MANY FATAL WRECKS
COULD BE PREVENTED

Washington. Dec. 21.-s Safety first is
the paramount rule Of train operation
suggested By the Interstate Commerce
commission in its s6th annual report sub
mittcd to congress. Discussion of disasters
on American railroads during the last year
constitutes an important feature of the
report.
1t is pointed out that many of the acct
dents resulting in fatalities might have
been averted by the exercise of proper
precaution or the employment of suitable
devices and good equipment. Figures given
show that of the total of s,2l5 dera .lments
during the year 1.S77 were caused by de-
fects of roadway and 3.S47 were due TO de-
fective equipment. This indicates an in
