Five hundred school girls of Cleveland, Ohio, have begun the study of infant hygene. Japan has accepted in principle the proposed plan advanced by the United States for universal peace. A Chicago minister is charged with havincr nine wives. The wives should form a missionary society and endeavor to save the wretch. If the recommendation of the Senate Finance Sub-committee is accepted meats and flour will not go the free list in the Democratic tariff law. After all Teddy Roosevelt only got a verdict for six cents from that Michigan editor. That will leave tha editor the larger part of his 30 cents to pay cost. A resolution to amend the Con stitution so as to empower Congress to prevent polygamy in all States and Territories was introduced by Representat i veG i 1 lette, of Massachu setts. Chattanooga, one of the Stmth's leading industrial centers, recently opened a permanent"Made-a-home" exhibition, and that fact alone is getting wide publicity for the en terprising Tennessee city. The fact that it is to remain open perma nently indicates that Chattanooga must be quite an important manu facturing city. Advance figures of forthcoming In surance Commissioners report shows that the 131 Building and Loan As sociations of the State are in a highly prosperous condition. Re ceipts of the past fiscal year were nearly seven million dollars, an in crease of fifteen hundred thousand The assets are nine and a half mil lions, an increase of twelve hundred thousand. Shares in force 243,544 an increase of 46,339. White shareholders 22,308, colored 2,752. Seventeen associations were formed. Memorial at Chapel Hill. Those students who left the State University during the civil war were memoralizedJune 2 at Chapel Hill when Gov. Craig presented for the State the monument erected in their honor. Gov. Craig described the entrance of Sherman's army and the prayer meetings held for protection by the desolate families who had sent their sons to war to never re turn. "The University was con sumed by the war," he said, "only one member of the class of 1865 graduating." He said that every member, 84 of the 1860 class, went to the army without conscription, and that more than a fourth of the graduates of the war period died in battle. Describing the bronze stat ue he said a new "generation will read its meaning and we dedicate the monument as a covenant that we, too, will do our tasks with courage and fidelity." Few students were buried in the University cemetery, but 400 are commemorated by this monument unveiled. A Southern Farmers Thrift. The New York Times says, the circular of the National City Bank, contains an account of a farmers' meeting in Mississippi at which a member testified that in 1907 he owed $900 on his 160 acre farm; he had two ponies, small plows and a wagon. He added: "The merchant in my town would not credit me for five cents because they thought it impossible for me to make a living for my family and seven children and pay my debts.' But the "Demonstration work' begun by the late Dr. S. A. Knapp of the Department of Agriculture reached this farm; Dr. Knapp's lo cal agent urged him to cultivate one acre of cotton under the Gov ernment's instruction. He was asked to break the land 8-inches deep. To do this he had to borrow a team from his neighbors, and the full bale of cotton which he gath ered from that one acre he had previously cultivated 12-acres with a combined yield never over three bales opened his eyes. He pro duced 6 bales of cotton on the 12 acres in 1908, nine bales in 1909, and he is now in a way to grow 2 bales of cotton for every acre that he cultivates. His financial status has. of course, changed : "Merchants now run after me to sell me goods. I have paid the debt on my place, have four fine mules, and future looks bright. I have one son and one daughter in college this year, and believe that I am go ing to be able to give all my child ren a college education." At the e!os of the farmer's talk a merchant arose and said that, whereas in 1907 he would not have credited this man "for a plug of tobacco," he would now give him credit "for $500 any time that he wants it." The fact that practi cally all the Southern States are co operating in this demonstration work, and that they are reaching many thousands of farmers like the one who recited his experience, seems significant, in the opinion of this very influential bank. - - . Plan for State Board of Edu cation. Dr. H. Q. Alexander, of Char lotte, a member of the State Con stitutional Amendment Commission will propose a change in the Con stitution for the appointment of the State Board of Education. In stead of the Governor and council of State comprising the Board as at present, Dr. Alexander propose a board ot five men to be appointed by the Governor, regardless of their political affiliations, the men to be chosen for their peculiar fitness for the position. The plan contem plates the appointment of one mem ber for two years, one for four years, one for six years and two for eight years. Afterward each one would be appointed for a term of four years. This arrangement would prevent any one Governor appoint ing the whole board or even a ma jority of it, an' in this way Dr. Alexander believes the board could be kept out of politics entirely. He would also have this ooard consti tuted the board of directors of all the State's educational institutions. including the University and the A. & M. College, the State Normal College, the Institutions for the Blind, etc. He would make the State Superintendent of Public In struction secretary of the board and would have the salaries of members of the board fixed by the General Assembly as are the salaries of the other officials of the State. The board would also constitute the State text book commission. Any plan that will take the schools away from politics, that will put in charge of the State's Educational interests men fitted for the work rather than men considered from the viewpoint of politics, is to be commended. Too often is it the case that men are selected to serve on boards who, besides not possess- Ling a, high school education, are not fitted for shaping the destinies of the schools of the land.
