E. D. Cameron, who escaped from North Carolina sev eral years ago."'. " , . r . . There' is much being done to' stimulate the, teachers in .the way of teachers associations." The Ok- ahoma State Teachers Association, which convened daring-Christmas holidays in the magnificent city of Oklahoma with 4,500. teachers present, .was an example of the enthusiasm which b being jncula- ted. - The-association was in session three, days for which time the t - . . teachers were allowed their, ex penses and salaries also. .;;-. The program "was nicely arrang ed, and one of the features was the Merit System "or Civil "Service for teachers. Two of the. most prom inent citizens of the nation; Hon. Chas. : B. Aycock, : Ed ucational Governor of North Carolina, "and the Hon. Jas. R. "Garfield, Presi dent Roosevelt's Secretary of the Interior, both men who have stood for high educational ideals, deliver ed addresses upon this subject.- The . merit system can easily be established in any.stato if the teachers "will but show the people how much superior it is to the sys- tem. or rather lack of system, that now prevails in most of the states. Mr. Aycock being a college mate of.Mr. Cameron was placed on the program, and his oratorical address made a beautiful climax to the con clusion and was appreciated by all, although he said that the Old North State was to be remembered as the grandest and most patriotic state, but notwithstanding the' belief of the teachers concerning: this, new state.: v, ;' ' - - -: The St&teof Oklahoma is main taining, six normal .schools," one university, - one -A; - &M."

Palma, Island of Majorca, Feb. 11. rDriven helplessly from her course, in one of tne wildest storms that has swept the Medi terranean sea in forty years, the French Trans-atlan tic Steamship Company's steamer General Chan zy crashed 'at full speed, in the dead of night, on the treacherous reefs near the island of Minorca and all but one of the 157 souls on board perished. , : The solo survivor is an Algerian customs '.. official, Marcel Kodet, who was rescued by a fisherman and who lies tonight in the hos pital at Ci a dad el a, j raving as a result of the tortures through which he passed and unable to give account of the disaster.' - ' The passengers of the Chanxy were mostly French officers and officials returning to their post in Algeria, accompanied by their wives and children, a few soldiers. some Italians and Turks, and one priest. The only Anglo-Saxon names on the passenger -list were Green and Stakely. - There were members of an opera troupe of eleven' which had been engaged to sing at the Casino in Algiers. - Education and Training. Cbarlocu OUemr. The old-fashioned .first, honor which colleges used to give, , has gone out entirely. : It has not only gone out-by acquiescence, but the first honor men were so almost uniformly failures that .the col leges could hardly - givei a first honor today to any wide awake boy. The only . purpose the first honor was ever served was to show how valueless scholastic ed ucation is . by itself. There may have been an exception here and there occasionally, but the rule holds, all the same. By exhibit ing the small value of a purely technical or ; scholastic training, stress is laid upon the great value of practical education and train ing.. By this is meant the value of practical training along with scholastic and technical training. The importance of practical train ing is further erapbrsized.-by the fact that many of the greatest men were never college men at all. George Washington, for example never had a college education. Neither did George Washington, and the list could be continued in definably. The modem A. & M. colleges of the south are giving much attention to the correction of this deficancy. The college and its training is of indefinite impor tance, but it should not eliminate from the education of a boy that practical training which is neces sary to. making - his technical and scholastic training of value to the world. We all recall the student who was being reproached for not knowing bis . lesson on surreying br a professor . The professor said, "You ought to be ashamed; at your age: George Washington had survejed the best tmrt of western Virginia." The. boy promptly answered, les, and at your age he was President of the United States. The practical. technical and scholastic training should all go hand and hand. In talking of a practical train ing, it does not necessarily mean an apprenticeship , in a machine shop; on the cogtrary, traininiDg in any vocation at which people make a liviny is what is meant Clerkships in stores, working in a newspaper office, work on the farm, or coything of that kind which has any contact with mak ing a living, is practical. Indeed it is generally recognized that the bringing up on the farm is gencr ally, in itself a line practical train ing and the human was to if "city life is mad good by drafts upou the farm for its practical and in telligent young mn.
