Editor The Sea Coast Ech
Ishas been truthfuIly sasa that the
perscn who Understands the position
among professions that sching oecu-
pies is unworthy to enter the school
room as an instructor Of the young. y
He is not only unworths 0f entering
the school room as an instructor OF the
young, but he should not be regarded
officially as man to represent US in
legislative department. Of our govern
ment.
There are some people with satis-
fed conscience who seem to regard
school teachers as a set Of indolent and
lazy people who viii do nothing else.
I challenge anyone 10 meet me upon
this subject.
The fact that ali whe are teaching
have sacrificed from six Aeight hun
drea dollars and some sTen more, to
say nothing of the time spent in order
to equip themselves for their profession
is enough to prove to any one that they
are interested in the Welfare OF our
country. One public life has recently
said, ''Cut their salaries and LET them
get out and HUSTLE In response I do
hereby declare thot every ambitious
and energetic teacher, no matter where
he or she may be, is stF-Sing tor the
weliare of their country in general
The school teachers are the least paid
and the greatest accorded of any other
set of people, yetwhile they are getting
the little and insignificantsam OF thirty
to sevenay-hYe dollars pr month, men
who are supposed to look after the well
fare of the future generation are shout
ing ''out their salaries"
No other set OF people, save the pa
rents, have 80 much to DO with the
forming of the characters of the boys
and girls as the teachers. Let US not
ignore our rights, respectB and respon-
sibilities.
The responsibility Of the teacher now
is greater than ever before. Ethical cul-
ture is expected of him, our industrial
system is so complex that it tends to
separate parents from children, employ
er from employee, and the sacred and
benign influence Of the freside is
thing Of the past.
Let US believe in the boys and girls of
today, the men and women OF a great
tomorrow, that whatsoever the boy SOW
eth the man shall reap.
Let US believe in the efficiency OF
schools, and in the ecstaey of love,
laughter, in all the distant hopes that
lure US on. II we have. no. in the past,
lot Us resolve e ossr -ta retain
and to maintain the spirit Of eo-onera-
ton; let US exist between parents and
children, teachers and pupils, and
teachers and patrons as well.

Mobile Register.

Mobile Register.
One seldom picks up one of the big
weekly publications OF this country
without seeing some artile about Florida
some advertisement OF Florida's re-
sources, or some picture Of beautiful
scene in Florida in it. There is more
of this sort of publicity going on this
year than usual, fer the reason that q
bid is being made for the wealthy
tourist travel that hitherto has gone to
the Mediterranean Rivera It's winter
diversions.
Why can't Mobile and the whole Gulf
eoasto OF Alabama and Mississippi get in
on this campaign Of publicity Why
not let the Country Genteleman"k know
that we have an orange that is the
sweetest and most delicious OF all or
ange that is the sweetest and most
deliciouss Of all oranges, climate that
is perfection in winter and agricultural
possibilities that are just as good as
those of Florida?
The last Issue of the Manufacturers
Record contains a-number Of page ad-
vertimements paid for by railroads ad
vertising Florida az winter resort and
Florida's resources. We don't begrudge
our sister state any OF this publicity,
but we do begrudge the fact that our
own state and Mississippi are not gett-
ing it.
There should be some sort ofconcerted
action looking to the developing Of our
section as winter and summer resort
and also OF our lands and what they will
do when intelligently farmed.

Farming Up To Date

| remember, | remember.
The house where | was born;
The little window where the sun
Came creeping in at morn.
You'd hardly know the old place
now,
For dad is up to date.
And the farm is scientific
From the back lot to the gate,
The house and barn are lighted
With bright acetylene
The engine in the laundry
Is run by gasoline,
We have si'os, we have autos,
We have dynamos and things:
A telephone for gossip,
And a photograph that sings.
The hired man has left US,
We miss his homely face;
A lot of college graduates
Are working in his place.
There's an engineer and fireman,
A chauffeur and a vet,
Electrician and mechanic.
Oh. the farms run right, you be,
The little window where the sun
Came peepine in at morn
Now brishtens up a bathroom
That cost dad a car of corn.
Our mi!kmaid is pneumatic
And she's sanitary, too;
But dad gets Is cents a quart
For milk that once brought 2.

How Many Men Enlisted In the
Union Army?

OF the $4,000 men first called out by
Lincoln large number majority,
indeed enlisted under the first call
for three year men. Each such rc-en-
listed man appears on the war depart.
ment rolls twice. In 1868 a majority
of the three year men re-enllsted and
We're designa ted by the war depart
ment az veteran volunteers" Each
one of these was reported as two diff
ferent enlistments unless he had also
served in the three months service of
April. 1865, in which case the soldier
would figure three times. Then to-
ward the close of the war majority
of the officers of many regiments were
men who were promoted from the
ranks or from noncommissiOned rank,
from which they were discharged "to
accept commissions" as the war de-
partment phrased it. Under such con
ditions some men figured as three men
during the war; some figured as four
men, and a few figured as five men
1t would be exceedingly interesting If
a correct answer could he given as to
how many individual soldiers enlisted
in the armies of the north.

The Lessons of OILS For the
Children Of Today.

The children of those days saw their
fathers 20 forth to battle amid the
strains of martial music They joined
in the sorrow of those who saw them
depart. They shared the anxiety ana
uncertainty after news of great bat
tie They formed part Of the group
around the reader of tie telegram on
that terrible sunday after Gettysburg.
They saw the father as he came
home upon his furlough They heard
the bells and saw the honfires that eel
ebrated Richmonds fall They saw
the sun bronzed veterans return and
realized again the presence of father
whom they had almost forgotten
They became burden bearers in taking
up the work of one who would never
return. Plans for college life were
gladly given up. They realized from
experience the full measure of devo-
ton which war meant.
Is there danger that their children's
children forget? Not while parents
and teachers magnify these sacrifices
Teachers of history today must vivify
the narrative of history until the chill
dren of today feel and resolve with
those of CIV. IT. Cheever

Millions Fought On Both Sides
In The Civil War.

The following estimate Of three year
enlistments is quoted from George
Cary Eggleston's 'IIlstory of the Con-
federate War; THE north was able
to enlist an aggregate Of 2,77s,304, or,
if we reduce this to basis of three
years service for each man, the Union
enlistments' for three full years num-
bered no less than 2326,1GS-or nearly
four times the total eulistments in the
Confederate army. Yet the Confederate
armies included practically every white
man in the south who was able to
bear arms" The following quotation
is from recent compilation:
THE great war between the states
brought into action on the Union side
approximately 2.772,o00 men. while
those who fought for the Confederacy
have been yariously estimated to have
totaled between 100000 and 100000
and by some authorities at an even
higher figure than the last given. 1t
is certain that more than 3.5OO.00O
Americans We're called to arms in the
great struggle"

In bed two or three days.
At such times I would be so nervous

l tried lot Of different medicines,
but nothing l ever tried did me so
much good as Cardui, the woman's
tonic.

suffered any pain at all, and | do not
have those awful nervous spells.
Had only known Of this wonderful

The Debt We Owe

[From Memorial address delivered by
George b Nelson at Amherst, Wis,
May 80, 1901
NO we today fully realize as we
scatter flowers upon the graves
of soldiers dead the debt we owe
these men who sleep beneath the sod?
l trust we do and that in some small
way each one of us each year we live
may do some service which will make
our institutions better and our great
republic true,
To the Union soldiers, to the mem.
bers of the Grand Army of the Re
public, is due the credit for carrying
our country triumphantly through her
greatest crisis. Other trying times
have been. but they are all incom-
parable with the one they saw ana
met. Secession was the deadliest foe
that reared its head above the horizon
of our nation, To have permitted sep
aration then would have resulted in
our utter annihilation To have allow
ed the southern states to 90 in peace
would nave been to blast our every ma
tional hope and place destruction in
our path. Their valor ana the lives
of their dead comrades preserved to
their posterity and the world the mani
fold blessings of a great free republic.
The debt posterity owes them can be
paid only by thousand years of al
most sacred devotion to their country.
