The Daily Kennebec Journal,
Augusta, Maine
There is a great deal written on
the subject of abandoned farms, how
to keep the boys and girls on the
farm. the decline of rural population,
how to check the movement from the
country to the city. Many causes
have been mentioned as contributing
to this movement, from the desire OF
the people to move in crowds ana
attend moving pictures, lonesomeness
OF country life, to the difficulty of
making a living on the farm. All
these causes may have some weight,
but most of them are many times
outweighed by the advantages. The
last, that of making a living, is very
real problem with the present COM
parative prices of farm produce, but
did it ever occur to any of the rural
"up!ifters" that the present cduca-
tional system of the country districts
was one of the chief causes of the
decline of the rural population, es-
pecially among the better class?
Time was when pupils in rural
schools could very nearly, If not
quite, prepare for college. Now the
rural schools leave the pupil four
long years from college. Those living
a distance from the high schools. TOO
far to walk, find 1t increasingly dim
cult 10 attend, as the expense OF
TRANSFORMATION is often more than the
farmer can meet, especially in large
families.
Those towns which are furnishing
TRANSPORTATION for their high school
scholars are doing a great deal to-
ward making farm life attractive ana
building up the community. In farm
ing. as in everything else, an educa-
ton that includes at least hlsh
school course is very desirable, IL
not absolutely necessary asset.

King Cotton, the pride of the rural
South, is arraigned on severe
charges and is found guilty In each
case, the court record being handed
down to the public by Frank Tan
nenbaum in an interesting article en-
titled "The Single Crop" contained
in the October Century Magazine.
Indeed, the writer goes so far as to
term cotton "a plague" and point
out that instead of being blessing,
a beneficent, fortunate thing in the
South, 1t is almost curse. He de-
clares that cotton is not only king,
it is a tyrant. and to it he charges
the poverty Of the rural community.
much of the difficulty of the race
problem, the spoilation of one of the
richest soils of America. farm
tenancy, and the low standards OF
living in the agricultural South.

Tilden Tennis
(New York Tribune)


Mountain climbers aspire still to
scale Everest and lawn tennis play
ers to win matches from William
T. Tilden Cd. Tennis is supposed
to be highly competitive game.
Mr. Tilden, who has won with case
his fourth national championship in
succession, takes away the element
of suspense He robs tournaments
of all speculative interest. How
ever the plot may seem to be
working out in preliminary chap
tiers, it holds the inevitable happy
ending for Mr.. Tilden.
1t is safe to say-at any rate
critical experts who have watched
the Dohertys and all the great
players since are saying it-taat
the American champion has had no
equal. His game is unique COM
bination OF power and sUhtlety. a
perfect blending of force and
finesse, of muscle and mind. of dex-
terity and art. In no other depart
ment of sport does an individual so
Enthusiastically tower above the field
Tilden is perhaps the first of the
tennis classics whose relative eN-
cellences will be debated by future
generations. He produces his pot
boilers, it is true. but every set
which he chooses TO embelllSh is q
masterpiece.
If one were to have constructed
from Imagination the ideal tennis
player he doubtless would not have
been Tildenesque. The champion s
physique, so very unusual. SO mar
velously adapted to the use. of the
racquet, is q stroke OF genius on
natures part. AS though to prove
the prodigality of his endowment. his
game has actually risen to greater
heights after the manning of a finger
on his racquet hand.
Tilden has further hallmarks OF
genius in his vagaries of tempera
ment, his whimsical moods that
sometimes puzzle and pique the gal
lery. These double faults of dis
position are offset by many service
aces of personality that shoots
off at As sharp an angle from the
commonplace as does the wonderful
tennis to which it imparts color.

the Star Maiden in a low, sweet

Just then the Evening Breeze

lance, the vesper bells began to

only to find that the colonel had
fooled them again. They had made
a similar trip here few months ago
in fruitless hope of seeing Col. Har-
neighbors. and that time had
sworn a mighty oath that they would
not come here again until the elusive
ambassador was actually here, knee
breecheS, waiStcOat and all.
They were sorry when they arrived
here Thursday that they. had not
clung to their good resolutions. For
all they. got out of the trip was an

provided them by a hospitable farm

how, and hence was not at all diSap-
pointed. His brother Charles, the
painter and former New York jour-
naliSt, likewise refused to evidence
any excitement at the failure of
George to come back to the town he
had made famous.
But these, and all the rest Of

George was talking through his hat

the world at large that his home

glad hand when he does come back.
For Peacham folk are proud of their

of Thaddeus Stevens, and though
his visits be few and far between,
they are always red letter days for
Peacham.
