To the self-sacrificing labors of faithful teachers in these rural schools many famous men and women owe their early education and in- spiration. But the demands of progress must be met in education, as well as in all other phases of our in- | creasingly complex civilization. The new and large? consolidated school, with its staff of- better prepared teachers, its improved organization and its modern equipment, will mark an advance over the ‘Mittle red school house” which must make for a more enlightened and efficient citizenship. LOCOMOTIVES FOR THE SOUTH (Providence, R. I., Journal) ft is reported that within a short time the Southern Railway will be in the market for no newer than 113 locomotives. We could hardly have a better illustration of the new prosperity of the region below the Mason and Dixon Line. Florida is of course the most conspicuous ex- ample of this prosperity. Volumes have been writ- ten about its marvelous development. So great has been its progress that the ordinary avenues of passenger and freight traffic in its direction have been congested beyond all precedent. and industrial revival. Throughout the South there is new life. North Carolina is a shining instance ef this revivification, Mississippi's shore towns have participated in the boom that has lifted Flor- | ida real estate to fanciful prices. reund place of residence. We hear little of the South's swamps and jungles but a very great deal of its magnificent plains, healthful hills and balm beaches. And so it comes ab that one of the great railroads of the region is compelled to think about buying scores af new engines to draw its heavily laden trains, Who could have foreseen all twenty or even ten years ago?

Whether the effects produced really lend charm to the modern woman is largely a matter of individual opinion. In former times women who employed cun- | ning devices to lure the male sex were sternly frowned upon. A Massachusetts law of 1634 for- | bade the wearing of “any apparel, either woolen, | silke, or Jynnen, with any lace on it, or silver, golde | or silver thread.” The English parliament in 1770 | passed an act providing “that any woman who shali entice into marriage any of His Majest by means of perfume, false hair or fals subjects | hips shall | be condemned as a sorceress and the marriage shall | be declared null and void.” | Since those days customs have changed great- | ly, but human nature has not. | AN UNUSUAL CHINAMAN Popular notions of Chinese inteliigence were given another shock recently, when Dana Yung | Kwai was voted by the senior class at Yale its “most | brilliant member.” He also stood second among | “the most versatile,” “most likely to succeed.” | While a freshman he won prizes in history and | and second among those chemistry; as a sophomore he won prizes in draw- | he won | ing, mechanics, mathematics and phy his “‘Y” as a member of the swimming team. Be- fore entering Yale he distinguished himself as a | student. in a Washington high school and won sf medal as captain of a cadet company. . Yung Kwai is the son of the counselor of the Chinese legation at Washington, who is himself a Yale graduate. Although the accomplishments of this gifted young man are exceptional, his record proves that | there must be latent among China’s millions many | bright minds capable of being trained to high effi- | ciency, and used with mighty effect for the ad- vancement of civilization. “HISTORY” THAT’S FALSE (Ft. Pierce News-Tribune) “ Our statement in these columms yesterday that Paul Revere never made any ride which entitled | him to consideration at the hands of the American people caused more comment than might have been expected. It develops that a large number of persons have been taking Longfellow’s poem rather than history for their facts in that par- ticular case. a t, however, is not surprising when one con- .siders the numerous absurdities which have crept into our school histories. ‘| Not a few of the later text beoks have eli- minated the hoax about George Washington and the cherry tree (which, by the way, appeared in | an English text book 50 years before Washington was born) but they continue to chronicle many things equally as absurd. General Sherman never said«“‘War is Hell.” He denied it vigorously until the day of his death and proved it by producing the officer who did say it. Yet the legend’ persists. General Sheridan was not 20 miles from Win- | chester, despite all the poems and“near-histories to He was eight miles away, and al- the contrary. most rode his horse to death to get to the battle, because he saw a courtmartial staring him in the Wouldn't it be a terrible world if children were as bad as neighbors think children are?
