A Busy Morning.

I 1t was almost noon when I awoke
Monday, the day after our little chaf-

For a moment could not separate
the real events of the ngiht before from
the troubled dreams which had filled
the hours since went to bed. had
dreamed OF babies, all mint long. grue-
some visions of dead battes. terrifying
dreams Of trying to save dying chill

"Dicky!" called his name as loudly
as I could. To my surprise he rose
from a chair at the front of my bed

THE souTH's OBLIGATION.

Nearly half a century ago General
Grant said to his son that he did not
look upon heavy immigration as an
unmixed good, but he feared that the
time would come. with its large native
population of Anglo Saxons. that the
responsibility of saving the nation
from the foreign immigration crowd
ing into this country must fall upoa
the South.
The evils of too heavy immigration
has already been felt in this country.
1t Is a fact that in the south lies the
great hope Of the nation.
The other day when the census re-
turns were made in New York city it
was found that the great majority Of
the population was foreign born or OF
foreign extraction. Here in the South
We have large negro population, but
the percentage Of other races other
than Anglo Saxon is small compared
to the north. the east and the west
. In New York at the noon hour when
the great nav of the business district
elects its workers. for several blocks in
the thirties, along Fifth Avenue. the
congestion is so great that enc can
scarcely keep footing. And yet look
ing to those thousands of faces, say
from the vantage point of Fifth Ave-
nue. bus. one can discern few counte-
nances that are Anglo Saxon in feature.
In New England, the cradle of the
nation. today the population is largely
foreign: on the Pacific Coast it is the
same. with the Monaghan races pre-.
dominating; in the great northwest the
Scandinavians have their stronghold;
in the middle west. the, Germans. In
every part of the country. the foreign
Immigrant has taken root.
. But here in the South the Anglo
Saxon stin rules. In the coast towns
there is "a large admixture of foreign
races but in the interior towns the
people are largely, native to the soil.
1t is to the South then, as General
Grant said more than forty years ago,
that this nation must look for recourse
against this invading host. The Sons
of the American Revolution and the
Daughters Of the Revolution are giving
much attention to the education OF the
foreigner in order that he may be fit
ted to become a good citizen OF this
republic. But the South has another
duty which strikes more closely home.
This is the education Of the white
youth of the South.
The educational facilities Of the
South are far from what they should
be. Teachers are badly paid. buildings
ara inadequate. equipment is meagre.
And this. state Of things will continue
until the South comes to the realiza-
ton of the great need OF the nation for
the intelligent service Of the young
people.
South. in Kentucky. and Virginia. and
Tennessee and North Carolina. there

these people. In the backwoods and
hamlets. in every rural community Of
the South. there are young men and
young women who are the best Ameri-
can material. Yet how few are their
advantages. How little are we doing
to mold them into good citizens; to
give to them those advantages which
they need, to become the backbone OF
the nation.
But it is not alone in the rural COM
munities: In the cities of the South the
education of youth is no less neglected.
This is a great responsibility which
rest upon the South. And it is one
which may not be met without educa
ton. II the young men and young
women of the South are to take their
place as leaders In the affairs OF the
nation they, must be. educated and
trained to meet those needs. They
must have the best that this nation
has to offer. And they must be inn
pressed with THE obligation to their
country which rests upon them.
Education is the greatest power in
the world: 1t II the most potent in
fluence upon the life Of any nation;
it is the hope of any section. Let US
then determine to be content only
with the best. To demand for the An
glo- Saxon children of the South as
much, certainly. as is allowed in edu-
cationaI advantages to the foreigner
who comes to our shores. And, most
of all, let us impress upon our boys
and girls not only the opportunities
that are theirs in this free country. but
the obligation which rests upon them
to seize these opportunities and use
them for their own development and
growth.

cause you have ceased to improve

yet your business may be infinitely
larger than it was then. You may have
shriveled in your social life. and in

GOOD a husband, as good a homemaker
as you were You may be very

lars And when money piles up and by
comparison dwarfs the man who makes

These words are minted truth. There
are men in every community who are
piling up dollars and dwarfing their
lives. A dollar is not worth a penny
unless it is put to use. The dollar
mark Is no longer taken as the meas
ure of success. It is not how much
money is he WORTH" but what is he
worth" that counts. in summing up.
That man is rich who is the best
friend to his own family, to his wife
and his children: the best friend to
his community: the best friend to the
needy: the best friend to the friend

no man could succeed and isolate him
absolutely true. No man is a success
unless he gives something Of himself to
others. No man is a success unless he
works with and for others. No man
can isolate himself from his commun-
ity and, succeed.
No man is successful unless he lives
well-rounded life: unless he has the
love and respect of his family, the re-
spect Of his community and the love OF
God in his heart.
A very practical business man of the
great Northwest who used to spend
his winters in West Florida, once said
that sooner or later men would come
to the realization that the Golden
Rule was the only successful rule of
business. Men cannot live by bread
alone. We need the things of the spirit
as we'll as the body, for real success
and happiness.
When men fully realize that each of
us. in a measure, is his bother's keeper;
that each Of US must take our share Of
responsibility for one another In the
great human family. then and then
only will we come into any real success
as the heads of families, the members
of communities or the people Of ma
ton: then and then only shall we know
the true measure of riches.
