been conducted under personal direc-
tion of State Supervisors F. e. Land,

three counties have attended the insti-
tute this week, as have Supt. Bridges,
of Schley; Supt. ]. L. Souter, of Web
ster, and Supt. w. S. Moore, of the
sumter school system.
State Superintendent M. L. Britain
was to have addressed the institute to-
day, but illness prevented his coming
to the regret of all.
At the morning session today the
subject Of dialect stories was discuss
ed, as to the wisdom of refraining from
the use of them before the lower
grades. This was followed by an adj
dress from Supervisor F. e. Land,
demonstrating the teaching of begin
ners. Mr.. Webb entertained the insti-
tute with a rehearsal of the teaching of
his first school this feature concluding
the morning session.
The general public is invited to at
tend all of the daily sessions, that to-
morrow being of more than usual in
terest.

self very rapidly and in few months
the South will actually be on boom
in the opinion of John H. Fahey, pres
ident of the. United States chamber of
commerce, in Atlanta with a party
from his organization.
Mr.. Fahey is certain that the open
ing of trade with. South America and
the revival of foreign industries, which
is now beginning in spite of the war,
will soon set the wheels spinning in
Dixie and that before the war is end
ed we shall have found the war a
blessing in disguise.
The optimism of Mr.. Fahey, who is
one of New York's best known business
men, is so sane and calm in its nature
that one cannot hear him and be un-
convinced. He talks as one who has
facts to back up his words. He gives
the %why" to back up every statement
and his talk to a gathering of Atlanta
business men left them in a much more
optimistic frame of mind.

"REVISED ETHICS"

The moral sense, we must admit, has

writes Louise Collier Wilcox in the jan
uary number of the North American
Review. He aims today as never be-
fore at a social adjustment. the adjust
ment Of earning-power and Of wealth,
Of the public health and the educa-
tion of minors, even ultimately at the
regulation Of the kind Of people that
shall be born into this world.
Never before have the means of
spreading opinion been SO stupendous.
Amid the daily contact of our social
habit of thought, standards Of value,
subtle influences In the estimate of
right and wrong pass from man to
man Just as quietly and unconsciously
as the blood passes from one part Of
the body to another, bearing seeds of
life or death to the whole body" We

already when secrets are proclaimed
from the housetops. Alec it is evident
that the old system Of rewards for vir-

virtue must be understood to be ite
