WORK THE ROADS.

TNo
country districts at this season is the working
of the neighborhood roads. Usually the main
thoroughfares are taken care of by the county or
township authorities, but there are many cross
county and neighborhood roads that never Sc
the road overseer and his crew. These are up to
the people themselves to keep in passahle con-
dition.
In years past our people were possessed with
a notion that the care of the public thorough
fares was a matter for the state or county entire
ly, and that personally we need not concern our
selves further than to pay our taxes or contri-
butte our assessed quota of labor.
Of late, however, we are awaking to the fact
that the roads are in fact OUR roads, and that
neglect of them is neglect of our own property.
They are one Of our greatest assets, more espec-
cially if they be GOOD roads. They are doubly
important just at this time, when the item of
transportation is one of the greatest questions
confronting the country.
The urge has gone out from Washington that
the American people use their best endeavors that
their every effort be made to count to the full,
that no effort be wasted. From one end of the
land to the other the crops will soon be moving
over the country roads. If these roads are what
they should be, motive power will be expended to
the best advantage; if these crops are dragged
through mud, gullies, and over rocks and stumps,
much of the motive will be wasted-and waste"
is the one word we are urged to eliminate from
' our vocabulary.

BLAZING THE WRONG PATH.

One of the leading farm journals of the soutl
is authority for the statement that in the rura
high schools of North Carolina seven Thousand
children are studying Latin, while only seven hun
bred are studying agriculture.
The significance of these figures are not grasp
ed until we learn that of the pupils attending high
school in this country not more than one per cent
ever reach the college or university.
When we assimilate the further fact that the
high schools do not and can not impart a work
ing knowledge of the Latin language, we begin
to appreciate the utter foolishness of an education.
al system that forces upon children the study of
a dead language from which not one in 1000 will
ever benefit?
The above figures may vary in other states
we hope they do. But they serve to call forcibly
to our attention a glazing fault in the school sys-
tenn of the United States.
Any system that requires boys and girls (who
in many cases can ill afford the time and means
to attend even a high sclooD to waste from a
quarter to a fifth of their school life on a study
that will never benefit them in life's struggle, is
not a blunder-it is a CRIME.
Consider again. Of the 1000 studying Latin,
there are only 700 studying agriculture. These
figures also may vary in other states, but still
any one familiar with the school system of this
country knows that the proportion of our rural
boys and girls who secure a competent education
in agriculture is lamentably small.
And what is the conclusion? Why, that we are
welded in our schools to a f~ossilized, petrifled and
Anticipated system that ordains that in order to
acquire an Education one must be conversant
with a language that is so everlastingly dead it has
not been generally spoken on earth in the last
thousand years. And this while the crying, burn
ing needs of the hour are sidetracked as of minor
Importance.
1t is time for the rural population of our coun-
try to arise in their might and DEMAND that the
schools cease educating their children away from
the farm.
The professions are ov~ercrowded, and the
trades are in even worse condition. The farmers
job is the only one in this land that promises a
career without the paralyzing competition to be
met in other lines. Yet instead of being trained
for efficiency in this great calling our youths are
compelled to fritter away their time on a course of
study that, to be in any sense beneficial, must
be followed through the college or university
which the very smallest per cent. of them ever
reach.
The day Of the antiquarian, the dreamer, the
mummy, is past in this country. The age demands
ACTION, and the mind that is not trained to it
in capital letters is doomed to be left at the start
ing wire.

who is at home in this city until Con-

the rumors from Washington in re-

the mint bureaus of Great Britain and

which is also the opinion of A. ]. Bal
four, the British statesman, no success
will attend any price-fixing plan so

quotation will gradually increase until
it reaches the old parity of 16 TO

enthusiastic efforts toward directing
the play to prove n success. The play
ers all did exceptionally well and much
honor is due each and every one for
the individual enthusiasm shown. In all
the play was a very fine success even
