Putting aside the opportunity to de-
vote his address to lengthy history
of the work of the Mississippi Teach
ers' Association and the worthy under
takings of individual members, Presi-
dent W. H. Smith took as his theme
the development of system of schools
for Mississippi that would train the
students for citizenship rather than
for higher education, a system based
upon the Agricultural High schools
and modelled somewhat after the
the schools of Denmark, which the
speaker recently visited.
I'm Mississippi, where So per cent.
of the people live in the country, and
where the problem, then, is the ere
ating and maintaining of rural civil.
ization, the fundamental aim of the
school must be to. produce a prosper
GUS, intelligent and happy farmer, with
all that these descriptive words i'm
ply, or, as L. H. Bailey puts it, the
developing and maintaining on our
farms of a civilization in full harmony
with our best American IDEALS" said
Mr.. Smith, and throughout his address
he made an appeal for the establish
ment of just such a system as would
answer that requirement.
Mr.. Smith spoke briefly of the ad-
vancement of the schools of the state
since the organization of the associa-
ton and mentioned with pride the
fact that politics had not entered into
the efforts of the members, but that
collectively and individually they had
worked in harmony with the State
Department of Education and the
State Institutions of the school system.
He endorsed the consolidation of
small country schools into larger and
more efficient institutions, saying that
more than one hundred such consoli-
dated schools had been organized to
take the place of three hundred small
er schools. The increase in salaries
of the county superintendent from
an average of $500 ten years ago to
1927 now was pointed out as one

the march of civilization? What won
derful results are possible for the
Agricultural High school in this field,
through instilling into the minds of
these young people the meaning of
social obligations and dependencies
and in the awakening of slumbering
intellects and the shaping of human
destinies. This would become a state
wide movement to lead the eyes that
have opened in childhood to behold the
new to look in youth, beyond and take
broader survey of life, in the time
of that awakening which would tran.
scend all other periods in its oppor-
tunities and which is fraught, beyond
all other periods of life, with the Gre
ating of solid substantial life ideals
and making proper adjustments for
life's responsibilities. This is not to
be short course for training and fit
ting to standards but a school for
awakening, leading and stimulating"
In addition to the development of
the young people for the greater and
more serviceable life, Mr.. Smith be-
lieves that the agricultural high
schools in connection with the state
department of agriculture could aid in
providing the adult farmers and their
wives with short courses through
which they could learn something of
the development and conservation Of
soil resources, scientific methods in
keeping the home and managing the
farm.
Industrial Cooperation.
AS planned by Mr.. Smith the schools
of this state would be organized on a
business system of educational and
industrial cooperation, which he ex-
planned by giving a brief account of
the development of the Folk High
schools and agricultural cooperation
in Denmark which he recently spent
several weeks in studying.

its agricultural activities the efficiency

this country by yhsing the instrument

in any battle of the Balkan War. For
home defence the British Isles depend
upon the Territorial Force. Every eff
fort to raise this force to the full
strength of 100000 or 100000 men has
been futile, and in the opinion of mil
itary experts it will be impossible
without the adoption of compulsion in
some form. At the same time no one
doubts that the Territorial Force is
in a condition to take the field at once

efforts, a system of rural education
and rural credits seemingly adequate
to its needs,-all resulting, as they
themselves say, from an effort always
to meet immediate needs.
Denmark is only about one-third the
size of Mississippi and its soil is not
as fertile, a large part of it being
barren, sandy waste, yet it supports a
population of 2,700,0OO, about fifty per
cent. of which is engaged in farming.
The development of the Folk High
schools began about the middle of the
Nineteenth century under the leader
ship of Bishop Grumtvng, poet, his
torian and religious leader, just at
the time that the country was emerg-
ing from the devastation of wars The
schools had very humble pretentions
at first, but as the teaching of Grumdt-
Wig became better known and he had
more followers the schools increased
in numbers and influence. He taught
that labor is noble and that education
should serve only to heighten mans
ability to perform his work well. The
schools did not attempt at the begin
ming, nor do they now, any elaborate
course of study, but aimed rather to
stimulate the patriotic love of coun-
try and to awaken in the young men
strong desire for knowledge. In re-
ceiving pupils into these schools, the
question is oftener, what do you
want to know" than what have you
already learned?'
What Denmark Has Accomplished.
Trained by these schools for CO.
operative community work they met
the crisis of German prohibitive tar
if on grain, by. resorting to the pro-
duction Of butter, poultry and meat,
which was made profitable by the or
ganization of cooperative diaries,
slaughter houses and bacon factories,
and egg export societies. These CO.
operative societies have federated
their forces, including with them also
wholesale purchasing, insurance, and
credit societies, until the entire coun-
try presents one completely organized
body. Their agents are in all coun-
tries studying market conditions and
demands of the trade. With the as
sistance of the government they have
organized societies for the breeding
and improvement of live stock. The
total export of dairy products, meat,
poultry and eggs, amounted, in 1912,
to more than s15O,OOO, 100000, besides
what was consumed in the country, an
amount equal to nearly one-fifth of
the value of the entire cotton crop Of
all the Southern states combined.
A cooperative bacon factory was

mo money trust can control these
people as long as such conditions
last" said Mr.. Smith, because the
small farmer has the same advantage
of scientific assistance in producing
and marketing his products as the
man with the large estates.
The Danish government is under
the control of men trained in the
schools founded by Bishop Grumdtvig.
1t stands always ready to supplement
the work of the people themselves and
to furnish legal enactments for carry
ing out the great systems initiated by
the people.

There must be genuine merit to an
article that has stood the test of two
generations Of users.
In the'field of medicine none has had
greater success, nor retained that sue
cess tosa greater degree, than DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, which is now be-
Ing used by two generations of people.
Its use in families is constantly be-
coming more general. The reason,
primarily Is that it has merit. It is
what 1t represents itself to be, a lax.
ative-tonic; it does not make exagger-
ated claims nor use coarse language
to set forth Its virtues.
1t is a medicine, but so mild and gen.
tie mediciiie that thousands of moth
ers give ito tiny infants, and yet, in
a slightly larger dose, it is equally
effective for grown-ups. 1t is for any
disorder Of the stomach, liver or bow
els, for constipation no matter how
chronic, or dyspepsia no matter how
severe, for biliousness, sour stomach,
gas on the stomach, headache, drow-
siness after eating, and similar COM
plants arising from clogged-up con-
dition of'the bowels. 1t is pleasant to
the taste and does not grippe. 1t can
be used with safety and good results
by anyone at any age or in any condi-
ton Of health, and that persons health
will improve. Every druggist sells it
and the price is only fifty cents and

It is one thing to make soda
crackers that are occasionally
good.
It is quite another thing to
make them so that they are
always better than all other
soda crackers, always of un-
carrying goodness.
The name "Uneeda"-s stamped on
every biscuit means that if a million
packages of Uneeda Biscuit were
placed before you, you could choose
any one Of them, confident that every
soda cracker in that package would
be as good as the best Uneeda Biscuit
ever baked. Five cents.
