WANTS RURAL SURVEY TO
AID PEOPLE IN COUNTRY.
Find Out What's the Matter, So Rene.
dies May Be Devised.

The social survey is coming into
favor in many parts of 'ie country as
a means of social .;erlnent. 1t is
a simpler matter to bring about i'm
provement in a city, a county or u com
munity when the conditions are fully
understood. To obtain the knowledge
that is necessary for intelligent and
effective effort is the object of the
social survey.
A writer in the Progressive Farm
er makes a plea for rural survey
work in the south and points out some
notable instances where these surveys
have been made. The University Of
Wisconsin, the Ohio board of agricul-
ture and the Presbyterian commission
on country life are cited as having
engaged in this line of endeavor with
and results. These organizations make
their surveys by counties. and the in
vestigations bring out a great array of
information.
The county survey means an inves-
tigation Of the school. the churches,
the roads. the social opportunities, the
facilities for marketing. the conditions
on the farms, the tenantry. the in
duences that make for rural uplift
and those which tend to rural decline.
The correspondent Of the Progressive
Farmer says:
"a rural survey would be an index
to progress. 1t would show the lines
of farming that were profitable; it
would create a spirit OF rivalry be-
tween counties; it would show condi-
tons as they are and probably help
locate the reason of the migration
from farm to town and help check
the ame
"Many of the problems of rural life
have not been touched at all, but these
will ultimately come into sight and
be solved. We have soil surveys, min
eral surveys. geological surveys and
other kinds Of surveys with which
people are familiar. Why not have
a rural survey and find out the real
condition of the people living in rural
communities and Systematically go
about helping make these conditions
ideal?'
The value of such surveys is evil
dent. Where efficiently made they
show the strong points and the weak
points of the county. In a moyement
for general betterment they are Of
great service and should prove as USE
full in the south as they have been in
the Notwithstanding Courier-J Journal.

celestial" as Applied to China.

Every one knows the epithet "Celes-
tial" applied to China. but few know
it's origin. According to a very old
legend, Tibet is a fragment Of a
planet, once peopled by a yellow race
which in some way became detached
and fell on the earth. The daZed in
habitants of the fragment were unin-
jured and. cold and hungry. they made
their way toward China. which they
peopled. This origin of the Chinese
race led to their calling themselves
"Celestials." and it is for this reason
that the emperor calls himself Son of
Heaven. Such. at least. is the legend.

ROMANCE OF A DRaMATIsT.
Jean Richepin's Flight From a Life Of

odd jobs" including such prosaic oc-
equations as that Of hootblack and

One day he was engaged by a gentle
man to carry to the railway station a
heavy trunk. Arrived at the station,
there was an instant mutual recogni-

his friend.

Jean.

Where do you live?"

The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelling-a miserable room in
an attic in the poorest quarter of the
town. Upon the table lay scattered
heaps of manuscrfpts-Jean's incur
sions in the realms Of poetry when
the more prosaic duties of the day
were vel Looking through them. his
friend was %astounded at their quality.

Wren,s Bomb For St. Paups.

, st. Paul's-old st. Paul's-once knew
the effect of a bomb that actually ex-
ploded. After the great fire it was at
first thought that the ruins might be
repaired. but too much damage having
been done it was decided to pull the
fabric down-a task in which many
lives were lost. TO put an end to the
tedious work Wren hit upon the idea
of inclosing eighteen pounds of gun
powder in a wooden box and explod-
ing it under the central tower. The re-
suit was to lift the arches some nine
inches, so that the ruins suddenly
jumping down made a great heap of
ruin in the place without scattering"
The architect proudly boosted that his
powder box had lifted 5000 tons and
saved the labor of 1000 men.-London
