RALEIGH, MAY 25. 1890.
Brother Kingsbury of the Wil
mington Messenger very aptly says
that ' this country is to celebrate the
discovery of the American continent.
by a man who never discovered it or
so much as saw it after it was dis
covered." This is all so, and yet
nothing is more common than to hear
the expression that "Columbus dis
covered America." He discovered one
of the West India Islands and then
returned to Spain. Every school
boy ought to know it. His expedi
tions however did lead to the dis
covery of the Continent by Araericus
Vespucius, from whom it takes its
name, and, for this, Columbus de
serves the great share of praise.
Enjoyable Picnic
Correspondence Evkning Visitor
On Saturday, May 24, the Mt Moriah
Sunday school, spent a very pleasant
day on the banks of Neuse river, at
Battle's bridge.
About 9 o'clock the school gathered
under the cooling branches of the
large oaks which formed a dense
ehade near the water, and the little
children enjoyed themselves in the
Beveral good rope swings which were
provided by their superintendent, R
H Gower, who is always ready and
willing to afford pleasure to his school.
They also had several nice boats on
ii at l - .3 : nAniiA.
wmcu me young lameo ttuu geuuo-
men enjoyed themselves rowing up
and down the river. When the hour
for dinner was announced the large
crowd, increased by friends and visi
tors from Raleigh, Clayton and other
places, repaired to the tables which
where set in a beautiful shade about
fifty yards from the river and within
30 feet of one of the best springs of
coolest and purest water.
I know it is sometimes thought that
people exaggerate in speaking of a pic
nic table, but we certainly never saw
one better filled with all that was
necessary to satisfy the ' inner man."
In fact theie was enough on this oc
casion to tickle the eye, heart and
palate of the most fastidious epicure.
After the dinner had been thoroughly
enjoyed the children repaired to their
swings, and we noticed several young
couples gliding leisurely in the boats,
and some would accidentally (inten
tionally perhaps) let their boats run
on the sand-bar or some large rock,
both get on the same seat and talk
for an hour or so probably ,about
how to get the boat off. The whole
day was enlivened by sweet music
from violin, guitar, etc, rendered by
Messrs Pool, Harris and Robertson.
When the hour for separation came,
the superintendent of the school gath
ered the crowd on the banks, when
they joined heartily and devoutly in
singing, "Shall we Gather at the
River," which brought tears to many
eyes.
The company then dispered to their
several homes feeling that the day
had been well spent and hoping that
they may bepermitted to enjoy many
such occasions. N R P.
Wake Forest Items.
Correspondence Evening Visitor.
Wake Forest, May 23
The grass is being mowed in the
campus and with two or three good
rains will be very pretty indeed by
commeneement.
Mr J H Mills, of the Thomasvillo
Orphanage passed through here to
day and seemed to be in his usual
joyjal spirits, creating a great deal of
laughter by hii Jokes. Be It one the
alumni of Wake Forest, and of whom
she may well feel proud.
The cloeine exercises of Wake Forest
Academy of which Misses 'Simmon
and Fort are the Principals will be
held next Friday. The program will
consist of recitations, dialogues,
speeches, orations, etc.
Workmen are engaged iu cutting
double d-wrs between the library and
Bociety halls, thus facilitating to a
very great extent the passage to and
from the same, which heretofore has
been a matter of extreme difficulty.
The new chandaliers for the Euze
lian Society have arriyed and been
placed in position. The faculty very
kindly consented to furnish gas for
the halls and the oil oil lamps will be
dispensed with.
Mrs Claude Kitchin, of Scotland
Neck, arrived on the hill today and
will spend commencement with her
parentsj Professor and Mrs L P Mills.

A CRUEL SCHOOL LAW.
Illinois is not the Only State In
Which it is Iu Force.
Chicago Herald.
Dr David Booth, of Sparta, 111, has
recently called attention in the Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa
tion to a rule common in our schools
that all children going out in school
hours are kept in during one third of
the corresponding play hours. While
it is true that children are likely to
make the necessities of nature an ex
cuse for gettinga few minutes holiday
during school hours, this rule is both
cruel and injurious in practice. Chil
dren dislike beiDg kept from play,
and in schools where this rule is in
force they overcome so far as possible
the temporary desire to obey the
calls of nature. With older children
this may not be so injurious, and
tends to train them to regular habits.
But there can be no doubt that the
rule involves the torture of very many
obedient and studious, and the more
they obey the rule the more they
must damage their health. Dr Booth
describes two cases of illness due to
this barbarous rule, and a St Louis
paper has recently described a case of
a boy of 6 years dying of brain fever
brought on by irritation consequent
upon the enforcement of this silly
law. The teacher's repeatel refusals
to let the child leave the room during
school hours so preyed upon the lit
tle sufferers mind that he made ap
peals daring his delirium to be al
lowed to "go out."
it is almost beyond beuet tnat sucn
a rule exists iu a civilized country;
but it is a fact.
Africa's Snow-Crowned Moun
tain.
When the scientific world laughed
at the humble missionary Rebmann,
who reported over forty years ago
that he had found a snow-crowned
mountain under the equator, he
merely replied: "I was brought up
in Switzerland, and I ought to know
a snow capped peak when I see one."
That was the first event in the his
tory of modern discovery in Central
Africa, and it is only within the past
few weeks that we have had the de -
tails of Dr. Hans Meyer's final tri
umph over Kilima-Njaro, whose
snowy, Kibo dome had defeated the
efforts of a number of explorers.
Rebmann vould have felt repaid
for all the ridicule that was show ered
upon him if he could have seen Dra
Meyer's companion, a practised Al
pine climber, with his ice axe and
rope and snow spectacles cutting
steps up the steep ice slope. Both
climbers paused to rest every ten
minutes, because the rarity of the
air made continuous effort impossi
ble. In these periods of rest they
could dimly see the far-distant plains
through the openings in the clouds
telow them. ' Then, when on their
second attempt, three dayB after
their first effort, they' reached the
highest point in Africa, about 19,680
feet above the sea, they found them
selves on the edge of a greatorater over
a mile across and., 650 deep, the icy
mantle sinking in , terraces from the
edge of the crater to the floor, wh'le
through a great can in the west Wall
a mighty glacier, about a mile: and a
