SHOULD RAISE CATTLE.
Southern Farmers Advised to Trans
form Cotton Plantations into
Ranches and Cheaper Meat Will be

florlda IlmeS-CniOn.
In 1860 the South was as much of
cotton plantation as it is in 1914,
nut at the call of nee tssty she made
q quick change that amounted to q
transformations she fed her armies.
and from the fields untouched bv the
enemy she took a great surplus i'm
1860. Once more the call has gone
forth, and the same change can he
made If she be wise. Cotton at 10
cents pays expenses, and she can not

the war may endure for year or two,
put the recuperation of the indus
trial population cannot occur imme-
diately; it will be five years before
there can be a demand for cotton
which took the crop of last year.
But the South need not depend on
one crop. Meat and bread are want
ed now, and the lands Of the South
can give us cheaper meat than those
OF the West. In 1865 the herds and
f1ocks of the South were notable for
both numbers and good condition.; the
old cotton fields would have continued
to serve as pastures, but for the fact
that an idle population of irrespon-
sible new citizens were hungry enough
to dare the shotgun for food, and
conditions, legal and political, made
1T impossible to protect food in the
open, waiting to be taken ut night;
also. the phenomenal prices Of cotton
raised hope that even casual labor
could be made profitable.
Today cattle and sheep and hogs
are reasonably safe, and the negro
has very largely deserted the old
black belts. The land is cheap and
the climate is more favorable than
that which threatened the western
pastures with the necessity Of feeding
during the winter and the possibility
of BLIZZARD weather for weeks, The
Improbable fields Of cotton States can
again be transformed into profitable
pastures, and the old plantation be-
comes once more a stock farm pro.

listed in the change. Our European
cotton market has failed, but our

hoods by lack Of transportation facili-
ties.
Instead of begging private capital
and the public treasury to help us in
the businoess Of growing cotton, why
not transform the plantations into
ranches and go to foddering the COWS? :?
The man who can grow two bales Of
cotton can care for a herd of cattle
with less work and more profit pro-
vided order and law has been now
so we'll established that the laborer
thrown out Of employment can be
made to respect the property of an
other. The South can escape the
shame of begging others for help IL
she will but avail herself of the ad-
vantages offered her by nature, and
she needs no help except that she
should find at home in her lands, her
climate and her people.

Dear Fellow Worker: The higf
schools throughout the State are
about to enter upon their years work
l hope for YOU the best of which yor
are capable. the unstinted support OF
your patrons. the responsive efforts
OF your pupils, and the warm CO.
operation Of your teachers. would
not presume to give advice, but beg
the privilege of Offering you encour-
agement and support in what you un.
dertake. Here are a few things il
might be we'll to keep in mind.
1. Before any successful teaching
can be done the teacher must get q
personal hold upon his pupils and his
patrons. Wholesome companionship
between teacher and pupil and re-
spected friendship between teacher
and patron fOreshadow success. Strive
to know your pupis in their daily life,
In their sports. and in their day
dreams. You need to study. but you
must NJ, he q hermit.
2. Give your pupils plenty Of work
and see that they do it. but do not
overload them. A few subjects mas
tered are better than many subjects
skinned over. Five subjects are
enough for any high school class. The
best schools are coming to regard
four major subjects enough. Skim
ming over work is demoralizing. Some
Of the subjects which seem to lend
themselves especially to skimming are
history. literature. physical geography,
and even Latin. Some teachers will
run through a book of the Gallo war
ers, but the latter will get twice as
much out OF the book. Tarr's Ply
steal Geography has in 1t ample work
for ten months with daily recitations,
yet few teachers are unable to find
enough in it for more than three
Iecitations a week for nine months.
Do not work for units. Twelve units
in three-year course are enough.
3. Preserve O. rational balance be-
tween the humanites and the sciences.
Five or six recitations a day in the
languages and but one or two in the
sciences do not suggest well-plan-
ned course. Manual training Is as nee
essary to a good education as mere
academic training. This work is
gradually growing in this State.
4. There are a few things every
high school pupil ought to be able to
do: To spell decently the words max
ing his vocabulary, to write a legible
hand, to read with some expression, to
speak and write everyday English
creditably. to make simple arithmet-
ical calculations readily and accurate
ly, and to have some knowledge of the
history and geography Of his country.
Unit a pupil can do these things it
seems unwise to put him to other
tasks.
o. The school studies are import
ant, but there are more important
things than these. Character build
ing comes first. Manly and wOmanly
virtues come ahead Of academic
studies. Good citizens are needed
more than good scholars.
Cordially,
w. II. Hand.

REVIVAL At POLLS
OF TWO ORPHANS"
Announcement of Famous Old
Play for a Week Here
ArouSeS Great Interest.

Polls Theater announces for this week
a revival of the Kate Claxton version
Of The Two Orphans" a play that
has been an international success for a
quarter of a century, and which has not
been seen in Washington since Miss Cox
ton retired from the stage, number of
years ago. The two big roles OF the
story will be PLAYED tomorrow night by
Miss Frances Nelson and Miss Ger
trude BondhiH.
The story of the play tells the adven-
lures of two helpless girls from the
country who upon their arrival in
Paris, are abducted by unscrupulOus
men. Their thrilling experiences in
the wicked city IN the darkest days Of
French history furnish the plot of a
drama that is absorOlngly interesting.
The action of the play begins at the
Pont Neuf, in Paris on a summer aft
crnoon, just as the coach from Nor
mandy reaches the city. Henriette. the
cider of the OIhpan sisters, falls victim
to a plot arranged by the wicked Young
Marquis de PTesles. Her fearless de-
meanor and undaunted courage in her
perlous situation excite the admlra-
tion Of the young Chevalier Maurice de
VRUdrey. He places his sword al her
and, when resistance is offered,
fights his way from the chateau, taking
the girl with him.
