In onler to tiuJ out whether it pays a State to Maintain, reforma torita for the cre an-l training of bad boys, a writer in The World To-day took at random eighty name3 from the list of boys paroled to (JhiCHgo trom the Illinois c-tate Ke foruiatory during the last fire years nu toautl their earnings weie Hear ty $40,000 a year. The highest salary was $100 a month nd the lowest $20 and board. Many were earning $80, $70, $G5, $C0, and $52 monthly. The average wages of the more than tix hundred boys who have faithful ly kept their parole during that time can be safely estimated at the verage above given, $500 a year. And as that number are now still steadily employed, so far as is known, their annual productive va! Tie is $300,000. Making a very conservative esti mate, the 05 per cent only of the more than two thousand boys who have been sent back to Chicago have become good citizeu?, and tak ing the average earnings just given, ihese 1,300 young men are annually receiving ij'iioO.OOO for their ervices. Taking the same average of 05 per cent of the 6,000 boys already paroled from the institution, and of the earnings just enumerated, we have $2,000,000 as the amount an nually paid them. Applying tht same low average of reclamations aad earnings to the more than thir teen thousand inmates discharged from the Elmira .Reformatory, we find the annual sum paid them to be more than $4,000,000. Thus the graduates of two out of the ten adult reformatories in the United States are being paid more than $6,000,000 a year. They are earning an amount equal to the entire annual expendi ure of all the reformatories and in Unstrial schools in the United States. Physical Calture Needed By Children Children need physical culture. The very idea eeeme absurd, with all the exercises secured at play, but it is a fact. There comes a time when the natural activity of a child lapses into sedate behavior. We frequently notice and comment npon the child being so lady like or manish. This is dangerous and may permanerjt'v impair the childs health. The first step in this direction is taken at school. The habit unconsciously grows on the child when her mind is engrossed in study. A certain amount of exercise should be re quired each day at school, and also made a duty of the afternoon at home. During the summer daily walks and the use of dumb bells, indian clubs, calesthenics, etc should be regularly indulged in . In this way the beauty and health of youth is .sustained and perpetuated after maturity.

There h ts been organized iu two or three hundred townships, or pre fentt ly in districts containing only twenty-five square lA-.lcs, two or three hundred consolidated rural schools, six to ten isolated rural school - being consolidated into one, an I the pupils are carried to and from school t Dublin exnense. In some of these sc oois the attempt toj introduce instructions m agriculture ami home conomics is being sue eefsfully made. Ii is found that while th? little rv.r.il xchools cannot afford teachers na'to-ii to instruct iu agriculture and home economics, the consolidated school c.iu afford to p tv a piincioil mil an ajs stant princi pal who, t re trained to teach these sub jects a:i I t igivc iuspiritioti in coun try life oMiually to th? rural pupils. It Dai been demonstrated also that the consolidated niral schools can iffonl to build up a simple laborato ry, support a small faun, develop a library, and secure other necessary equipments to use in sujessfully teaching Hgi iculture aiid home econ omic". Further it is found that teachers with specitic t:ii ing for country-life educational work can co-ojierale with the pareuts so that iimnv of the home duties of the ru ral youth may I e made far more ed uciit onal us well as more interesting than heretofore. There is evident ground for the claim that consoli dated rural schools and the work of the home life on the ;avm be so de veloped under co.operatiou between teacher and parent us to provide far better education for our rural youth whiie living in city homes. Iii the primary schools also there is being liitiodiiced much instruction in man ual naming. From "Public Indus trial Education, " by Wi'let M.

Bihlid The chief political task for North Carolina is to bring about effectual means of expressing popular opinion. That is the essential task of every democracy. As we have it now, opinion is agree 1 upon by a few hand ed down in conventions "to the people. We shall not have tnu- democracy until opiuion is formed by the peo" pie and handed down to their serv ants. As we have it now opinion is subsidiary to the office and the office-seeker; as we shall have it opiu ioti' will be paramont to office, ( flice seeker and also heaven defend us to the party! As we have it now the people have no opportunity to foi iu i opinions on matters of concern to! them the subject on which they : must have opinions are arranged, just j like programmes in Baptist union; meetings! As we shall have it, the ; people will think for themselves and will think oil questions vital to them-' selves. They will make the pro grammes, not the politicians. As we have it now the politicians rule, As we have it now politics is a con test for office: as we shall have it politics will be the expression of the common-sense of the Commonwealth.
