NATIONAL ADVANCEMENT
THROUGH THE NATIONS
RESOURCES IN THE SOUTH.

In the natural resources of the
Southern States the nation has a
source of almost boundless wealth
creatin potentialities.
No one should for a momentth ink
of the resources of the South In soils,
in minerals, in timber, in WATERPROOF
er, in GRANTEES and marbles, and IN
sulphur, and oil, and gas, and in soil
and climatic advantages as possess
sions simply of the South, or the
people of the South. These resources
are a part, and very large proper
ton of the nations resources.
Nearly third continental United
States is in the South. Three-fifths
of it's coast line is in the South.
Practically all of the cotton pro-
ducing capacity of the country is in
the South; and cotton, unlike every
other crop, is so largely exported that
in our international trade balance it
becomes far more important than
wheat or corn or other agricultural
products.
No one should think of the coal re-
sources of the Southern States as
purely a Southern asset. They are
national assets, and their fullest de-
velopment means the increase on a
large scale of the financial strength
and power of tais country.
The South has five times as much
coal area as all of Europe, excepting
Russia, and twice as much even in
GLIDING Russia. The coal area of
Europe outside of Russia is about
1900 square miles, to which Russia
adds $4,000 square miles. The coal
area of the South is about $4,000
square miles. West Virginia and
Kentucky each have twice as large
a coal area as England. Alabama
has almost as large a coal area as
England.
Every ton of coal that can be
mined, every iron-ore property that
can be proftably developed, every
water-power utilized or to be utilized,
every acre of timber land, every acre
of soil which can produce cotton or
foodstuffs, wherever to be found in
the South, is part of the nation S
assets, and must be inventoried in
summing up the nations resources
and the nations capacity for expan-
sion.
During the war this country de-
pended wholly upon the South for
for its sulphur supply, without which
we could not have produced explos-
ives. 1t depended entirely upon the
cotton of the South for all the varied
ramifications of trade into which
cotton enters, whether for the tented
tattlefields, for explosives, in the
hospital or for clothing.
In the natural advantages of the
Southern States the United States
has resources of dazzling potentiali-
ties for the creation of employment
and wealth, and for the strengthen
ing of this country in any time of
stress, that every patriotic American
should look with full appreciation up
on these national assets and rejoice
IN their utilization.
Every coal mine opened in the
South adds to the nations coal sup
ply; every acre added to the produc-
ton of foodstuffs or to the raising
of livestock increases our ability to
feed ourselves.
Every water-power developed is q
source of new wealth to the country.
Every furnace fire lighted enlarges

Some people are never able to see
the beam in their own eyes. But that
probably is due to the fact that it is
so large it obscures the sight.

Not Enough Money to Pay Teachers.

There has been a tie-up in the A.
nances of all the State educational in.
situations in West Virginia for next
year. The State Board Of Control,
which has authority over the paving
oil all the expenses of the State schools,
mas declined to approve the schedule
OF salaries proposed BY the State
Board of Education for the coming
year.
The Board of Control has taken the
position that it can not pay the pro-
posed salaries because they aggregate
sum for the year which is greatly
IN excess of the Legislative appropria-
ton for that purpose.
The State Board Of Education, on
the other hand, says il will be inn
possible TO provide professors and
teachers in the institutions unless the
schedule of salaries they have fixed
can be offered to candidates for the
positions.
The problem has been under con-
Sideration BY both boards, both in sep
arate and joint conferences for sew
eral weeks, and Official letters have
passed back and forth between them
setting forth the situation from both
standpoints.
The State Board OF Education, al
a recent meeting fixed a schedule of
salaries for the employees of the State
schools, which in its judgment repre-
scented the minimum salaries at which
the faculty members could be secured
for the ensuing year.
After adopting this schedule OF
salaries, it presented the list to the
State Board of Control for approval,
Though it was known the proposed
salaries would aggregate sum in eX-
cess Of the legislative appropriation.
the position was taken BY the Board of
Education that these salaries could be
paid out of the appropriation avail
able up TO the time the Legislature
meets next January, and the Legis-
lature could be trusted to provide for
additional funds needed for the rest of
the year.
The Bord of Control, on the OTHER
hand, has taken the position that il
has no authority to pay any salaries
in excess of the appropriation made
by the Legislature. 1t has gone so far
as to say it believes the next Legis-
lature will provide for the extra money
if it has the revenues from which to
make the appropriation. but the mem
bers of this board feel that they can
not overstep their authority simply
on the belief that they would be re-
lieved by the Legislature.
