The City Beautiful.

A one-eime mayor of New. York,
George B. Mcclellan, said: "In a
seif-governing community. the III
innate object of the government is the
happiness of the governed. Something
more Is needed to make the happy
sity than health and. 0ealth and wis
dom. The city healthy, the city
wealthy, and the city wise, may excite
satisfaction, complaisance and pride,
out it is the city beautiful that CON-
pels and retains the love Of people"
When last the tree men of the South
met at Riverside, in the music room
Of the famous Glenwood Mission inn.
an Illuminated sign stretched across
the stage, which read: MAKE your
city beautiful and you viii learn to
love it."

wassaae and the Consumer.

Oyersupply cuts prices, especially
when the product is perishable. But
the Cutting of city markets with
country produce does not lower the
cost of living. On the contrary. the
consumer pays for the necessary vast
age. Cooperation among farmers and
coordination In distribution Is there
fore as much TO the advantage of the
city dweller as Of the producer. This
is the moral pointed by Doctor Meeker
before the American Economic associ-
alton. The unorganized condition OF
the farming industry is one of the
causes of the high cost of living. The
agricultural departments of nation apd
state arc busy teaching the farmer
how to raise bigger crops, how to Sc
cure better yields of garden truck.
This alone is teaching him how to lose
more money and how TO increase the
cost of living in the city. When these
governmental agencies teach the farm
ers how to market their crops we will
have the apparent contradiction OF
higher profits for the farmer and lower
cost Of living for the city folk.-New
York Evening Mail.

Although the most intelligent lead

lore songs as the rhythmic cry of the

ashamed of them because they bark
back to the days OF ignorance, super
stition and childlike trust. Doctor Du-
Bots says OF them: They are the
music OF unhappy people, OF the chill
dren OF disappointment; they tell Of
the death and sufferings and unvoiced
longings toward truer world Of misty
wanderings and hidden ways. They
are the most beautiful expression OF

One of the very important phases OF
the work of the Manassas Industrial
School for Colored Youth is a summer
school, held for the rural school teach
ers during July of each year To this
come about a hundred teachers from
the rural districts, men and women,
who are heart and soul In the work.
Same of these teachers are well
trained and competent, but the greater
number are wholly unfit 10 teach.
Many have had no training above fifth
grade. and often can only read and
write with great difficulty. During
the winter of teaching. they often have
TO travel many miles to their school
houses, which are usually meager di-
lapidated frame buildings. neither wind
nor rain-proof. where they are COM
PEELED to teach all grades and ages
In one room. For this they receive
pitifully small salaries, and II they
want to add any special work over the
regular curriculum, the pennies OF the
children. with a share Of their own
small income. are forced to meet the
added expense.
They must find enough inspiration
during this one short month at the
summer school to carry them through
their trying winter The state of vir-
ginia contributes to the work. Be
sides this summer school. there Is held
for these rural teachers Of northern
Virginia. a Teachers institute during
the Christmas holidays. where all
questions relating to school life and
work are discussed By prominent
/ speakers. az well as general discus

and teaching methods.
