That is discour aging tt> the child with the parents who are'not able to help it. Of course, tlie .’former child was lucky to be born of parents who could show it, while the other is suffering on account of the misfortunes of its parents. If these children were drilled by the teacher there wou^ be no advantag> gained. , We know that there are two s^des to' every question and we are not well enough informed on the subject to Iwn'dle it in an intelligent manner, but ^rsonally we are heartily in favor of the “teachers” doing the teaching even if they have to he paid more money.

IS uiaae at home too many parents do the ,f>ady- ing while the children stand by and enjoy the fun. Every one will admit that pupils should be trained to habits of perseverance, self-reliance and initiative. Actual experience has shown that pupils will study their les sons to better advantage at school than they will at home. The reason for this is easily seen. I^ot all parents are familiar with the principles of pedagogy and the best methods of teaching how to study. The many distractions at home pre sent children from concentrating their minds on their lessons. The home atmosphere is very different from that of the school room. Wherever the method of having pupils do their studying at school has been tried there is a strong senti ment in its favor on the part of pa rents, teachers and pupils them- elves. CHARLE M. STALEY.

The Ob server says if children did all their studying in tl^e school room it would) ‘require 22 years to graduate from high school instead of 11, and the average youth would be ready to en ter college at the age of 28 and grad uate at 36.’ Some teacher trying to dodge work of course gave Col.

He Writes of the Way to Secure Good Fertilizer Cheap—What Can’t be ght Can be M^e at Home. s'c(/frian,lja^onia, 1^. 'C.j" Dear Sir:—I wish to call the atten tion of the farmers of Gaston county, through the columns of your paper, to a few facts regarding fertilizers. The indications now are that the price of all fertilizing material will be unusually high next year. The sup ply of Acid Phosphate will be cut off because Sulphuric Acid is used in man ufacturing it, and the Acid is now I in great demand for making ammu- I nition for the warring nations.' Pot ash cannot be gotten in sufficient quan tities because it comes from Germany chiefly. Ammonia will be consider ably higher than usual because a lot of material from which it is obtained is imported. Cotton Seed Meal is a good source of ammonia, but it will be high because of its value for both fertilizer and feed for livestock, prin cipally cattle. Believing the above to be true, then vjover tne rock lightly to keep it from being washed in piles. 3. On sour land or land that is sub ject to overflow. Those having bot tom land should by all means investi gate and use of Rock Phosphate. Re member that Rock Phosphate is not recommended for hill land that doei not contain decaying vegetable mat ter. And what about the Ammonia and Potash (Nitrogen and Potassium) ? Well, if you have a good crop of clover or vetch to turn under, or a good coat of manure to put over the land, you have plenty of both the above elements. If you have a good crop of oats or rye to turn under as much Nitrogen and more Potassium is available for the next crop than would be supplied by 400 pounds of an 8-3-3 fertilizer. A ton of mixed unleached wood ashes contains on an average 5.5 lbs. of Potassium. But the Potash problem is not a-serious one in Gaston county. The experiment with fertilizers carried on on Mr. C. M. farm ehows that Potas sium gives very little gain. And this on Cecil Sandy loam. The greater part of county is clay and this type of soil is known to contain enough Potassium. AH that is nj 5*^11 and e^a on cl; plowin. Miss Moena Hand, of Lowell, was Gastonia visitor Monday. Mrs. C. C. Armstrong is visiting her mother, Mrs. R. B. Bass, in Semo- ra, N. C. Mr. J.
