A Cruel Joke I rather like what was said about a park, ' remarked a gen tleman, a day or so ago. "Rock ingham needs a-park, as well as many ther things, but it is out of the question for the town to buy the land and open up one Now, Shaw's woods would make an ideal one if there was enough land, and was not quite so rough. Then . there is the Leak woods, just south of the town, that could be made into a pretty park. But you see it takes money to buy land, and people are not willing to contribute their land for such purposes unless they can see some money in sight, although a park upon Pee 4 Dee pond would enhance the value of . the land east and south of it.'? "Speaking about the many im provements, " said another gen tleman, rtI "see the Seaboard has got a move on itself too. Why, they have put down a lot of new cross ties "around the depot yprd here. And I think they are pre paring to put iri a new trestle over tne pona. . I hey have al ready "put ih nev timber on the upper" trestle.

It shot EDUCATIONAL :: ; AND iRELIGIOUS Edited by Rev. TV; ; R. Coppedge, A. M.; County Superintend X dent of Schools - ,What does it "cost to keep a chifd away from school a single day?- This is la question that is perhaps not often considered, and probably never considered as se riously. as it ought to be.' We often consider what it wiH cost to send him,"and as that cost con fronts us right at the time and the cost of keeping him at home is something that we may not have to pay for years," or that we shall pay without knowing When we do it, we areso short-sighted and foolish as to let the future take care' of itself. -The cost is probably something fearful nev ertheless. While it is impossi ble to get the exact figures the following, suggested by an ar ticle in a recent number of the North Carolina Educational Jour nal, wijl - give us some idea of what our children lose by stay ing away from school; that is, how much a day. A man or woman with a col legiate or professional education can make on an average $1,500 a year. Such a training can usu ally be obtained by fifteen years of school work a school year being rekconed at nine months or one hundred and eighty days. If we exclude the probable holi days, the school year "will be re duced to one hundred and sixty fiy e ;ay s The eritire school pe riod of the college graduate, counting from the time he' first enters school, will be about fif teenfiuh'dreof days or; lessrand if tler elis ho mte'rjrijtptidii he will finish! his course byjthe .time he f eacHes his mihoriiy.

One with a collegiate, or professional education, .wjlleaman average of not less than -fifteen hundred dollars a year j or "for thirty-five years;a't6tal of $52;500.The uned ueatebj man .or ' woman will do well to earn $300 a year "which in 35 years would amount to $1Q, 6001 The - educated man-or wo man.w:aili!:a:iife' time. $42, bob in ore than the one" who doe's not go to schbpl.;; Fifteen hun dred. days at school wilt be worth in actual ch $42,00. ,Theschool. ing then is wcrth $28 a day. , S uppoF. we ; make ? the calcula tion for. half of 'the period cover ed by the preparatory and - col lege courses. One who has gone to th'e half way point, -br;. who has attended school, 750 i days would probably ''- be able to earn $900 a year, or $31,500 in the 35 years of the working period of an average life. This would be $21,000 more than the uneducat ed man or woman could earn. The 750 days would be worth to him in money $21,000, or $28 a day. -. -:: ; Something like the same pro portion will hold good if we take ia,;shorter perioj(LWe see then that every, day a child lose&from Ichooicts'hitf of them do 28 cents worth of work the days they are kept at home ?

But as great as is the money value of an education let no one think that its greatest value can be reckoned in dollars and cents. : The time vtaken,.bya wood chopper to sharpen his ax is not lost, ; neither is the dime spent for turning the grindstone.

RELIGIOUS Paying the Preacher . ; There are many people who think Jhat what is paid to the preacher is a matte of charity, but the self -respecting. , pastor wouia oe slow to accept money that was contributed with . any such idea. The preacher works for the - interests of the church, and' the church should give him a fair remuneration for his ser vices. - If the pastor does his work well the church does not GIVE , HIM ANYTHING IT PAYS him. And it ought to pay him somethipg like what he could make by. devoting the same amount of Jlabor to other work. This is according to the scrip tures. Paul, in. First Corinthi ans, 9:14, says: Do ye not know that; "chey which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the ajtar are par takers with .the altar? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preacjh: the gospel should live of the gospel:!' -The mem ber of : the church "who ' fails to contribute according to his finan cial ability to the expeses of the !hurclrought to be-"asnSmeaoTl himself. - t .
