Weekly Letter
Spanish in the High Schools.
BY j. G. FAINT. Professor of
Secondary Education.

II would seem that the occa-
sion is opportune to suggest the
introduction of Spanish into the
High Schools of the South. The
European War has served to cut
off communication with the old
world and to bring us into a state
OF mind in which we naturally
contemplate the possibilities of
close intercourse amoung all ne
peoples of the western world. OF
the modern languages, therefore,
Spanish males the strongest APP

practicgt service, and an eousl
one in a literary way ard for

For all America, Spanish ranks
next in Importance to English.
For these and other reasons
the U. s. Burean of Education

CARNATIONS are advocating and
urging the teaching of Spanish
in the schools of the people.
The chief obstacle in the way
of our high schools taking IN

of our teachers. To meet this
deficiency, the SuE1mer School

For the past several weeks the
interest of the voters of Lafayette
has been centered on the Joint
debate announced to take place
in Oxford on June 4th. All were
anxious to hear these speeches

disappointed when the debate
was called off, many returning 10
their homes before the hour

Senator Russell addressed a
good crowd in the court house
which was well filed and who
evidenced their appreciation by
hearty applause. His audience
was composed mostly of voters
OF the county with a lair repre-
sentation of ladies.
At the same hour Gov. Brewer
addressed a well filed house at
the Lyric Theatre, composed of
many OF the friends of Senator
Russell and by actual count 324
ladies and children. The full.
seating capacity of this auditor
ium is about 500. The speeches
were along the usual lines of the
former speeches of each over the
state and instead of iniuring the
cause of Bilbo and Russell, az
was ardentiy hoped by some, il
has only intensified feeling here
and will result in an overwnelm
ing victory in this comfy for the
Bilbo faction in the August pri
maries.

R. F. D. AUTOS

The automobile is crowding the
horse off the highway faster than
ever. Its adoption on rural postal
routes is not only new conquest
for the motor car, but is likely to
lead to a far more general use of
such machines throughout the coun-
try.
Experiments have convinced the
postoffice department of the utility
of the automobile for routes wher-
ever the roads are fairly good. More
than 500 motor routes have been
authorized and over 800 of them are
already in operation. The depart
ment is now inaugurating plan by
which the carrier is required to pro-
vide his own car and pay its running
expenses.
They won't be high-priced cars, OF
course. The expense is estimated in
most cases at less than horse-drawn
vehicles would cost. A carrier on q
typical route driving light car OF
a type recommended by the depart
ment, fifures his expenses, including
oil, gasoline, tires, and depreciation
at about IL cents mile, enabling
him to serve his 80 1-2 mile route a.
a cost of $1.02 a day. Most of The
automobile carriers figure that b!
driving cars instead of horses, the.
can make 500 or $500 more yea,

allowed them.

Moore Wilson, of Florida, who has
been spending the summer in New
York city. The story of her work is
interesting and fascinating in the
extreme. Twenty years ago, she,
with her husband, settled in Florida,
where they had been left an estate.
In the course of time they became
interested in the Seminole Indian
whose lot in Florida has been ex-
tremely hard. Backward, they have
ever been driven into the deep and
mysterious Everglades. AS fast as
with persistent labor and indefatiga-
BILE perseverance they have been
driven from it by the white man I'M
til at the present time, the tribe,
numbering about six hundred souls,
has hardly place in which to grow
it's sweet potatoes or even solid
ground on which to place Its tepees.
"For twenty years Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson have been doing for these In
dams. They have opened their home
to the leaders of the tribe, they have
accomplished much in the way of
sending them food and clothing and
Mrs. Wilson has besieged the state
Legislature to grant them a tract of
land which they might call their
own. She has written book on the
tribe and devoted the proceeds to her
work and with facile pen she has
knocked at the doors Of the press OF
Florida, educating the public slowly
but surely. concerning the justice
which should be accorded to this
tribe of red men, women and chill
dren.

All Money Good In Canada.

There is no place in the world where
money Is under less supervision than
In Canada. The coins In circulation
there are not confined to the Dominion.
British halfpennies and pennies cir
culate as freely as the cents, and Unit
ed States coins Of all descriptions are
accepted as equal in value to the Ca
madam coins, though the United States
refuses to handle the coins of the
Dominion on its own side Of the Dor
der. In the course of busy day In
Canada you are not surprised to meet
coinage of many nations. Sometimes
you get finds. A correspondent who
is an amateur coin collector tells me
he got among his change beautiful
specimen Of farthing Of the reign OF
George I'LL, and an hour or two after
ward he became the possessor Of an
old Irish halfpenny over 100 years old,
with the harp on one side. Probably
these two coins had been carefully
preserved, but poverty induced the pro-
prietors to part with them.-London
