Ercesslyn Diversity.

A college professor made the remark
to one OF his classes in the summer
school at Ohio State University the
other day that he notices n marked
deterioration in the mental capacity
Of young people Of college-student ago
since he first began to come in con-
tact with them some twenty-five years
ago. He said they seem unable to
concentrate their minds as theyNlsod
to. What they seem to learn now, he
said, they acquire parrotlike. In short,
they do not think.
The Ohio State Journal asked a
high school teacher Of long and sue
cessful experience if this is true, She
asid 1t undoubtedly is Both sho and
the college professor attribute the UNI
promising status Of the present gener-
alton Of college boys and girls to too
much scattering OF interests. There
are too many different things for them
to do. their attention Is constantly be-
ing diverted from one thing to anolh-
err, and the result is they cannot fix
their minds on anything, and, cOnsc-
Quently. do nothing we'll Not only do
they have a wide diversity Of amusc-
ments, but the school curriculum it
self is given over in large measure
to a very wide variety Of so-called
studies which by the farthest stretch
of the Imagination cannot be consid-
cred vital or fundamental.
A return to simpler courses in
school and to simpler living outside
is needed, in the view of our college
professor and our high school teacher,

Revision Needed.

Those portions of H. X. 1886,
commonly called the shipping bill.
which relate to the merchant marine
and to overseas commerce have
been both widely and warmly dis
cussed, but the fact has been almost
entirely overlooked that other por-
tions Of this bill contain what Is
probably the most drastic and far
reaching legislation concerning COM
mon carriers by water in coastal and
inland trade that was ever enacted
by the United States or any other ma
ton.
1t proposes to put everything from
a coastwise steamship to n canal boat,
from giant lake carrier to a row
boat ferry, under regulations as
complete and comprehensive as those
provided for railways by the inter
state commerce act, including the Tx
ing of maximum rates. the printing
and filing Of classlfcations, rules and
tariffs, the making of detailed re-
ports, etc In fact, many boat lines
will be doubly regulated, being under
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for one part Of their business and under
the proposed shipping board for an
other. The bill has already passed
the House and will soon come up for
consideration by the Senate.
1t is the conviction of the national
rivers and harbors congress that the
bill in its present form would have
results that are serious, If not disas-
trous, to all common carriers by
water in interstate commerce and it
is earnestly requesting help in secur-
ing the needed changes therein.

OF the Democratic ticket it need only
be said that il could not be different
this year, since Mr.. Wilson and his
party have put behind them the one
Term pledge made four years ago. The
mess in which the country finds itself
is of Mr.. Wilson'S making, says the
Plttsburg Gazette-Times. He alone
must bear the displeasure of the ma

Boy Scouts Organized.

Rev H D Bull and Mr. Sidney M
Carter have recently interested
themselves in the organization of
boy scout patrol i'll Kingstree, and
it appears that their efforts in this
direction have been successful. At
a meeting last rrluay siier.vuA the
tenderfoot examination was given
and seven charter scouts enrolled.
These will meet again at Thorn S
mill next Friday, when the oath of
"allegiance" will be administered.
Another patrol will be organized
some time IN June, when the boys
will bc free from school duties. A
similar movement was started here
some months ago and number of
boys became interested in the organ
izstion under the leadership of a
man whose name is withheld, but
which, by the way, will be recalled
here by those he succeeded in VIC
tilnizing, but this mans organiza-
ton. like himself, was a failure in
Kingstree. In the present under
taking we have much faith and hope
to see a large per cent of King
stree's boys enrolling in the organi-
zation this summer.
