Now in, what school.-1 or .colleges is morality made paramount or of i . . i . ; equal imp iriance 10 bcibucb i Ill how many is it taught at all?' How many professors deem it a duty to impress upon their pupils obedience to "parents, obedience to law, honesty, truth,, temperance, 'chastity, industry, and' to do 'unto others as they would have 'others do unto them? - If you say that these things should be taught at home, the answer is they, are not taught : at home. Some fathers try to, and more mothers,, but when a boy in his teens is tent olE to co'llege the home restraint isrl;oue. The bridle is taken off before he has formed his habits, and he joins in with the vicious, 'and after three or Tour years comes home with a rHriatterinc of science and pome bad. .habits that will stick through life. . If the col lege is at home "where the par ents live the peril is in a great measure avoided. But with the average boy it is better for him to finish his education in nis kaway to here are manv exreDiioiis io xuis, lor F 1 there are many noble boys who can be trusted anywhere, dome influence is a wonderful safe guard for young and old. I have known men of mature age men of families who. were exemp'ary at home to go to New York un business 'and frequent the: saloons by day, and go to see the ballet girls kick around in the theater uy night. ' The objection that I have to the whole public school system is its lack of heart, its coldness, its machinery: The first thing is to banish the Bile and morn ing prayer. The Roman Catho lics have forced the 'Bible out of the schools in Wisconsin. The Jews and others oppose it everywhere. They will not be taxed to support a system that disagrees with their faith., f thij a Pliri-itiah coiintrv ? Have we a' Christian civiliza tion ?

Ten bad boys in school will lower the average morality My friHDfi Webb asks me it ident is very great it ne more than twenty good ones will raise it. Every school makes its own average from the individuality of its schol ars. The bad will g'bt Detter and the good 'will get. worse. Friction and assimlaftiou are going on all the.time, and hence the teacher must throw himself in the breach and raise the standard of good behavior and good morals. It will JUke par ents, and teachers, and. preach ers and the Sunday school all together to make good citizens out of boys naturally depraved. There is some thing toidue stock and blood of course, tnt not as much as there used to be. Mankind are assimilating. John Smith is nearly as good John Breckenridge or John Randolph, and Wanamaker is better than ,either, for he has moire money. Education is like a sharp ; knife or two edged tool in a child's hand.

How many of our boys have such a mother: Now,;under ou svstem of Public educatin, it is a sore trial upon Ithe paren to send a good obedient, kind liwarted bov to mix with half a dozen unprincipled, ! maliciou rascals who fear not God nor regard man, but we hjive. accept Pf"! the .situation and ust do it and hence the greater- re SDonsibility upon the teacher Tli time was when the bad bovs who could- not be con trolled at home were sent to Beman or Fouche or Isham t be civilized, but that day has passed.

Tom was telling his uncle a big yarn an awfully big yarn, and after he was through. the old man said : "Tom, how many colleges did you say you went to ?" " ."Three," said Tom. ""What a -pity what a pity you didn't go to one more, and then you mout have been the biggest liar in the state." An Israelite friend said to me not long ago : "Vat kiud of a thing ish dis ? I send my son Jacob to dat fine college where de boys wear da military close, and now he come pack wid a leetle guuin his hind pocket, and he wear heem all de time. Ish dat de law ?" But we have some nobler, earnest alumni from our col leges in every town. Some who do honor .to their alma mater. ' We would have mauy more if the standard of morali ty was raised , higher.- The standard of scholarship is high enough. Colleges are grand institutions for those boys who appreciate them and realize what they are sent there for. But only one in nf ly can go, for their fathers are not able to send them, and hence the greater importance of our pub lic schools that educate the masses.

All the indications are that Eastern Carolina is on the move to successful progress and rapid development.

Wilmington Messenger. A I passed Mr. Henry C. -De Mille on the street yesterday. A tall, slender man, with a face devoid of mustache or whisk ers, and, wearing a cape over- oat and soft felt hat, he has a decided ministerial air. Few would take him to be a writer of successful plays aud on6 of the directors of a school of act- ng, fiora his appearance, as he walks the street, carrying his head high, as if he lived iu a and of dreams. Id fact, Mr. De Mille did contemplate counng a clergyman ana tudy for the ministry, but fore the day of ordination rived he discovered that vocation was to. write plays to teach people how to .play them.

I could see tLcir bright reflection, in the waters undt r me, aud I experienced a, feeliue of wonder and great curiosity. If only one had b there, I would not have bee:. boubt, but what two uu. were doing, I could not w make out.

But to-night I was hot and restless.imy mind was ful of care, and the walk that lay before me, was more than could bear. I had no latch-ey with me, and locked would be the door, and I would have to sit in the door -way, as oft have done before. I'd have to sit in the door-way, in agony ar.d fear, till a voice said from the window, "Did the lodge hold late, my dear?" So to night I stood there dreaming, and watshed the restless tide, till a cop came along with a wagon, and invited me to ride. Exchange. education contributes to the increase of crime. 1 answer, yes; emphatically yes. The statistic'.-; prove it beyond all question. 'The mure education the more crime, in proportion to population. It is natural that therd should be. The boys f fourteeu commit more crimes 'than thfc hoys of four. They know more ways of doing devilment.-Their desires are inceas- lad the passioivs developed a their wits are sharpened, 'i'lie more knowledge the more opacity, and as capacity is in creased restraint must be in Teased.

This Is all well enough, if it suited Miss Pauline and the fellow, and tlfey were bound to do this way or die but the rear ia that thousands of giddy and thought less young girls throughout the country, having this high social example as a guide, will take to themselves wings and runoff with fellows, some of whom may be thriftless and no ac count, and may bring upon the girls sorrow, shame and trouble It is a deplorable necessity that coiiipels any girl to run away from the roof of her par ents to get married. It is equal ly a matter of regret that fath ers are often unreasonable in their thoughts of their dangh ter's choice, but nine times out of ten it is better for the gir to conform to her parent' wishes ia a matter of such deep concern as marriage. That these young people have not done well we shall not presume to say, bnt it would have look ed much better if the young lady had been married under her father's roof and with all the dignity aud refinement be fitting his biVh, exalted po sition.
