MORAL TRAINING IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. I
. BY w. D. Hedieston, Professor of Q
. Philosophy and Ethics. .
. q . q q q q q . ~ , .

This question is confused in the
training in the public schools. There
is room for difference of opinion as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of giving religious
training by an institution of the state
or by any agency not under the direc-
ton of the church. But there should
be no difference of opinion as TO the
ACCESSIBILITY of giving moral training
by any and every agency We have for
training the mind. The same reasons
hold good for giving moral training
in the public schools which NAV be
given for such training in the Sunday
Schools.
The division of our people into re-
ligious parties or sects. is along re-
ligious or theological lines of cleavage
and have no reference to moral ideas.
The question is not whether moral
training shall be given in the public
schools. but whether il shah be given
systematic ally and under intelligent A.,
supervision. Moral training is given
by all activities and experiences of
life. The public school is where most
children acquire their notions of things
and of conduct: or at least, is where
their notions are modified and fixed.
They are being trained morally, but the
training is not satisfactory II should
be given Systematically and under
proper supervision.
This article is written primarily to
call the attention of the public. and
especially of school trustee. to lucid
and eminently practical plan for such
instruction given in the Hand Book
for Mississippi Teachers. 1912-l9199G.
on pages 1921. This book is in the
hands of the teachers of the State. and
every school trustee should read these
pages.

tly different from that Of Senator Sink
Ter. Under the Manning -Swearangen
measure the State will have Statewide
compulsory education, but upon petit
ion Of the majority Of the qualified vot-
ers, the statute would be imperative
for definite period, thereby bringing
about what is known as local option.
The ages in the bills are practically
the same, requiring school attendance
for certain period between the ages
Of and II years.
Farm on Easy Terms
There have been various propositions
from time to time looking to the own
ership Of small farms by the people of
the State. Mr.. Graydon, has prepared a
bill which he thinks means much
along this line and is going to press
it at this session. The principal idea
Of his suggestion Is that land COM
mission should be selected and that
this commission should acquire desir-
able farm lands and dispose Of the
lands on easy terms to people who
really wish to become owners Of their
farms.
The campaingn this summer was
largely Snapped, prior to the outbreak
Of the war, which brought about ma
terially changed conditions for many
interests. at the outset OF the session
2-cent peaaenger rate bill was intro
duced, the Senate committee yesterday
decided that it would not consider the
measure at this session, which Is taken
to mean that there will be no effort
to press legislation along this line at
this time, because Of the realization
that the railroads in common with
practically all other business interests
have had a rather rough time Of it
on account Of war conditions.
The ways and means committee Of
the House has been pushing its hear
ings so that it can report the general
Appropriation bill at the earliest pos
sible moment and there will he no de-
lay in final adjournment on account OF
this particular bill.

600 were, with single exception, the
largest ever recorded for the month,
points out the New York Void I'm
ports at Sill. 4O2, 900 were the smallest
for the month in six years. The export
excess at $131, ,So3, 900 is far the largest
ever had for the season.
This excess Of exports means more
net gain to the country than the COM
narrative figures indicate. A smaller
amount is needed to pay interest and
dividends on foreign investments here,
because those investments have been
greatly reduced on account Of the war.
4 smaller amounts needed to pay ocean
freightS in foreign ships, because Amer
lean ownership of ships in the overseas
trade has largely increased. A much
smaller amount is needed t. meet Amer
iacan travelling expenses abroad, be-
cause such expenditures have been re-
duced to next to nothing by the war.
For years heretofore our merchan-
disc export excess has averaged little
or no more than the sum of this invi-
SibIe indebtcneSS to Europe. We
have been paying off old debts against
us at Il notable rate. We are pilling
up debt against Europe at an even more
notable rate. These are the fOunda-
tionS of new era OF industrial pros
pcrity which are laid on solid rock"

PERKINS AND GUGGENHEIM GIVE
THEIR VIEWS

New York. Jan. 21.-George w.
Perkins, director Of many large cor
porations; Daniel Guggenheim OF
worldwide mining interest and
president Of the American Smelling
& Refining Co., and Z. ]. Berwind,
fed today before the Federal Com
mission on Industrial Relations in
vestigation into great philanthropie
organizations and the cause of in
dustrial unrest.
Mr.. Perkins testified he believed
the Sherman law had retarded
American Industrial developement
that legislation bringing labor or
ganizations under control Of the
Federal Government was needed ;
that cooperation and not compe-
,tition was the life Of trade; and that
big business could do more for the
country's workers than could small
units.
Mr.. Perkins did not believe the
Government would improve on pres
ent methods of administration Of the
funds Of the philanthrOpfc founda-
tions, but that at regular intervals 1t
should require statements concerning
their administration. He favored
organized labor, providing honest,
efficient men were at the head Of 1t.
Mr.. Guggenheim advocated taxa
ton of large fortunes on the death
Of their owners as a means OF aid
ing the poor; establishment Of Gov
drnment employment agencies; pro-.
vision for care Of aged workers, and
industrial democracy" wherein the
workers receive part Of the profits
derived from the production Of their
labor. 1t should be the business OF

DISBA NDMENT
ORDER ILLEGAL
Declares Governor Manning
Proclamation Automatically Restore,
Companies to Former Condition

General order No. 2, issued by a
former governor of South Carolina
purporting to disband the organized
militia of this State was declared
void and of no effect" by a proc
lamation signed yesterday by Gov.
Richard I. Manning. The proclama-
tion was issued after the governor had
considered the question for several
days. The National Guard associa-
ton had filed a petition with .dae gov
ernor asking that the disbanding or
der be rescinded. The order of Gov.
Manning will automatically restore all
of the 81 companies to their former
condition.
The proclamation by Gov. Manning
follows:
"Whereas, general order No.2
heretofore issued on the 18th day Of
January, 1915, by the governor and
commander-in-chief of the organized
forces of the state of South Carolina
purported to dissolve, muster out and
disband all of the militia of the State
of South Carolina, and all of the vol
unteer militia of the said State, and
Whereas, under the constitutions
Of the United States and Of the State
of South Carolina, and under the gen.
eral statutes of south Carolina, the
governor and commander-in- chief has
no authority to dissolve, disband and
muster out the entire militia; but
Whereas, the said purported order
has created an element of uncertainty
in the minds of officers and men of
the National Guards and Of the public

and efficiency of the National Guard;

vides that women might be elected OF
appointed to positions on school boards
and serve as notaries public. His bill
does not carry with it the right Of suf'
frage. Mr.. Mccullough, Of Greenville
has a straight woman suffrage bill
which would submit to voters OF
the State a constitutional amendment
permitting women to vote. Mr.. Nc,
Mahan, of Columbia, proposes consti-
tutional amendment, but limits the
right Of suffrage to white women, and
claims that this is an additional right
and that it would be constitutional.
There has been no discussion yet in
either branch upon any Of these bills
and whether the opposition to woman
suffrage is going to assert itself open
ly has not yet developed.
The prohibition organization is pre-
senting series of bills locking to-
wards Statewide prohibition in South
Carolina, one Of them provides for
Statewide prohibition right off the
reel; another provides fcr a referen-
dunn, by which the people are to vote
on the Statewide prohibition next
September. Then there is a bill to
make effective the Webb law, and 9th
er measures relative to penalties. 1t
appears that there was not going to
be much Of fight on the referendum
or Statewide prohibition bills, but
within the last few days, and after
the; Inauguration of Governor Man
ming, there has been more talk Of op-
position and the opponents Of State
wide prohibition have taken courage
and believe that they can prevent the
prohibition fight next summer. The
opponents Of the referendum pl; n think
that the State is inclined to balk at
stirring up the liquor question at this
time and letting well enough alone.
Compulsory Education
The compulsory education forces are.
in the majority and the only issue now
is whether the Evans Statewide plan,
is to adept or the ManningSwearingen
county option is to prevail. The Senate
has reported favorably on the Sinkler
local option plan Of introducing COM
pulsory education, and unfayorably on
the Carlisle bill, which embodies the
ideas prepared by Superintendent
Evans. There Is another bill BY MFR

IMPORTANT BILLS
BEFORE ASSEMBLY
$50 BILLS IN BOTH HOUSES
Primary Reform, Compulsory Edu
cation, Medical Inspection and
Tax Revision Leaders.

Columbia, January 24.-After tw'
weeks of preliminary work the Gene
raj Assembly of South Carolina hal
gotten down to work. There are al
ready as many as three hundred ant
fifty bills under consideration by
both House and Senate, and the in
fux of new propositions will from
no on, be quite small, as the most Of
the undertakings have been covered
There have been thus far very few
freak bills, the only measure Of this
kind that is not confined to South Car,
olina is a proposition to prevent by
statue the giving of tips.
Primary reform, compulsory educa-
ton, medical inspection and tax revi-
sion are the most important matters
that will be considered; they have all
been provided for in pending bills and
the chances are that they will be en-
acted in the laws. There seems to be a
general spirit Of compromise and the
outlook now Is that the session will be
quite harmonious and come within the
forty day limit. OF course, all OF the
measures that are proposed cannot be
disposed of within this time, but as this
is continuous session it Is agreed,
unless some complication arises, that
the session can be adjourned by the
time that the small boys deliver their
Washington Birthday speeches.
Acreage Reduction.
Perhaps the most unexpected deVei-
Iopment is in connection with the con-
.certed effort to repeal the cotton acre
age reduction law enacted at the recent
extraordinary session of the General
Assembly. There are quite number
50 bulls along these Lines, but the indi-
Mons Just now are that the fight VIII

be made on the House side on the
Moore bill, which proposes direct and
absolute repeal of the bill passed sew
eral months ago. On the Senate side
there are two bills, one by Senator
Williams that is similar TO that OF Mr..
Moore, and another by Senator Stuckey
that is in the nature of a compromise,
and proposes to amend the present law
and permit so per cent cotton acreage
instead of a one-third cotton acreage
as provided in the outstanding statue.
The up-country seems to be more op-
posed to the acreage bill than the bal
ance of the State, and at the moment
if n ballot we're taken, the chief work
of the extraordinary session would be
smashed to smithereens. 1t is quite
common talk that no attention is to be
paid to the law whether it stands or
does net stand, and there is no occa-
sion for the South Carolina farmers to
be penalized to the advantage of every
other cotton growing State, none of
them having enacted legislation along
this line.
Woman Suffrage
The woman suffrage movement has
evidently gained considerable headway
in this State. There are number Of
propositions pending. represented by
three schools of thought; Senator Car
Isle has a. ropostion that is in the
nature of an entering wedge, and pro-
