Expressions of Divers and Sundry Dis tinguished Men Upon Great Bene fits Education of Greatest Value. Now that education is getting to ibe more and more a study and pas sion with the people of North Carclin and in our county especially, the fol lowing remarks along this line will le interesting reading. Here is what some of the wise ones have said. The Late Chas. D. Mclver. The majority of the schools of the South need and need badly: Bet iter houses and equipment, longer terras, stronger teachers, and more effective supervision. Reducing these oieeds to a common denominator, we 3iave four distinct calls for more mon -ey. Not only is it a call for more now one time but for all time.- Ex-Governor C. B. Aycock. It undoubtedly appears cheaper to Sieglect the aged, the feeble, the n--firm, the defctive, to forget the chil dren of this generation, but the man who does it i. cursed of God, and ihe State that permits it is certain of destruction. There are people on ihe face of the earth who take no are of the weak and infirm, who care naught for their children, and provide only for the gratification of their own desires, but thsee people neither wear clothes nor dwell in 3iouses. They leave God out in their Jife, and are known to us as savages. Governor Blanchard, Louisiana 1 The school house is the fountain Ifaead of happiness prosperity and good government. Education makes ipeople worth more to themselves. It snakes every hand and every eye' auore strong and accurate. Someone lias said it is cheaper to build school houses than jails. The first need of Sthe State is the general diffusion of jpublic education. a Horace Mann. ' Such a thing never didhappen and Clever can happen as that an intelli gent and practical body of men shoul 0e permanently poor. The greatest seer, and the next greatest is to in iof all the arts in political eeoncpy is to change a consumer into a produ crease the producer's productive pow ' ier an end to be directly attained by Increasing his intelligence. (Superintendent Lull, Newport, R. I. An eminent business man of the Empire State has investigated and then publicly declared that a gram mar school education adds fifty per cent to the worth of a man, a high school education a hundred per cent, and a college education three hun jdred, per cent. We cannot select I our ancestors, although Holmes ha : i suggested that such a selection wouiu j be very desirable; but we can do the next best thing and see to it that i the succeeding generations have good ancestors. j Walter H. Page, Editor. ' It is a shining day in any man's growth when he comes to see and to ! reel and to know and freely admit that it is just as important to the world that the ragamuffin child of his worthless neighbor should be trained as it is that his own child should be. Until a man sees this he can not be aworthy democrat, nor get a patriotic conception of educa tion. Thomas Jefferson Said: If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. No other sure foundation can be devised for the preservation a crusade against ignorance. Educate and inform the whole mas: of the people . Editor Poe on Libraries. The need of the rural library must be apparent to all that are familiar with country school methods. Read ing is the magic key to all our store houses of intellectual wealth; it is the basis cf all education. PREVENTION OF TUBERCULOSIS Fraternal Organizations and Labor Unions Unite to Save Members Estimates 50 Per Cent Losses Can Be Saved. Nine fraternal and benefit organi zation, with a membership of nearly 3,000,000, and three international la bor unions with a membership of over 100,000 have joined the ranks of the fighters against consumption within the last year, according to a statement issued to-day by the Na tional association for the study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.. Ayear ago only one fraternal or- ganization, the Royal League, and ! one labor union, the International j Typographical Union, maintained in ; stitutions for the treatment of their ! tuberculous members Since January 1st, 1909, the following fraternal and benefit organizations have taken up the consideration of tuberculosis, and in most instances havedecided to e rect institutions: Brotherhood of A merican Yoemen, Order of Eagles, Improved Order of Red Men, Mod , ern Woodmen of America, Knights of Pythias, Royal Arcanum, Work mens' Circle, Knights of Columbus, and Foresters of America. The inter national labor unions which have i joined the fight against tuberculosis ' are the International Photo-Engra-! vers Union cf North America, the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union, and the Interna tional Boot and Shoe Workers Union. The Modern Woodmen and the Kni ghts of Pythias have already opened sanatoria for their members who hav tuberculosis at Colorado Springs, and East Las Vegas, New Mexico. The Workman's Circle is about to erect a similar institution at Liberty, New York. The Royal League has main tained a . sanitarium at Black Moun tain, N. C. for three years. The oth er fraternal organizations mentioned have either appointed committees to consider the advisability cferecting tuberculosis sanatoria, or are con templating such aciton. The first sanatorium to be erected for the benefit of the laboring men was built by the International Typo graphical Union in connection with its hdme at Colorado Springs. The International Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union have recently de cided to erect a similar sanatorium and steps are now being taken to o pen such an institution. The Inter national Photo Engravers Union while not conducting a sanatorium of its own, pays for the treatment of its tuberculous members in in stitutions in various parts of the com try. The International BoGt and j Shoe Workers Union are recommen ding to their members that they al ly themselves with the various or ganizations united in the fight a gainst tuberculosis. All of these fraternal organizations, and labor unions are also carrying on campaigns of education ajfnong their members, in this way over 3 000,000 men and women are r'eceivin; instruction through lectures, through official papers, and by literature ex pressly prepared showing the dan gers and methods of prevention of tuberculosis. It is a campaign of prevention which will bring to these various millions of dollars in the saving of lives and .the cutting down of pay ments for sickness and death result National Fraternal Congress estimate that 50 per cent of the death loses from tuberculosis could be saved by the various fraternal organizations of the country. The national association for the study and prevention of Tuberculo sis has rendered all assistance pos sible to these various movements a mong the. labor men and the frater nal organizations, and stands ready to co-operate as far as possible with any society of this charactre. ABOUT THE REAL ESKIMOS. Something of the Habits and Cus tdms of the People Who Helped to ' Discover the North Pole. New York Press. I The Eskimos are the filthiest peo ple in the world. They never wash not even the face and hands. The smell cf their fur clothing and secre : tions from the skin causes a stink ; about their persons and especially ' in their ingloos and tents, that is un : bearable to tenderfeet. Living in huts of stone cr in ice ; in winter, in sealskin tents in sum ' mer, Bsquimos never marry in the i sense we use the word, but mate like ; animals. Swapping of mates for in i definite time is common. Furs are used for the common family bed,and j everybody from father to babe strips stark naked before retiring . j Esquimos are all children, content i ed, peaceful, honest and hospitable, without rules and without ambition for fame or power. They live almost entirely on raw animal meat, and this explains the absence of a num ber of diseases which are common to civilization. Salt water contains iodin, and all sea animals as well as all who meat them uncooked ab sorb more or less of this pickle chem ical substance. Scurvy, so common and deadly a mong early Polar explorers, is to tally unknown among Esquimos who eat raw meat. This iodized raw food also explains the absence of enlarg ed tonsils, glands and goiter. Their perfect splendid teeth and strong lower jaws mark thtm compietei carnivorous. The exclusion or vege table food has shortened their intes tines and" indigestion is unknown. On would suppose their pure flesh diet would cause biliousness, etc., but the large percentage of oil in their food acts as a gentle laxative and pro tects against all harm. - They eat with relish old rotten blubber that would stagger a buzzard. Their skin though covered with filth and vermin, is smooth as satin and totally free of disease or blem ish. The very fact that these peo ple fear and hate washing in water may account for their fine "Artie" skins. Exposure of hair to mid night sun for three months of the year favors hair growth. Baldness is unknown, and even time seldcm bleaches the hair to g.ray, and at CO it is still real black. Their special senses are very keen and eyesight seems undiminished with age. Con sumption is unknown, nor is there any skin or bone form of tuberculo sis. Eut when brought to the Uni ted States they contract consump tion in most virulent form. Of six brought to New York all contracted the disease in less than six months. One who returned to his arctic home made a quick cure. It is well known that the long Arctic winter, with its depressing effects on body and mind, often up sets the best balanced nervous sys tem, even of the native. But this hysteria vanishes with the summer. Explorers have suffered the same way, and they have committed sui cide. In summer Eskimos get so very common. fullblooded that nose bleeding is All degenerate diseases that cause i so much suffering and death in civ j ilization are absent from the Esqui j inos. The pure sterile Arctic air con I tains no germs, but Esquimos inva riably take a bad "ship cold' when they go aboard a white m:;n"s ship. More Esquimos are killed every year hunting the walrus than die of natural causes. These people have no doctors and none of the remedies that are common among civilized peo pie are known.

When we march up to reform we want everybody to get in line ahead of us. The greatest blessing is a wife who doesn't want you to go on trips with her. There's hardly anything more com fortable than meditation upon other people's sins. The disadvantage of having a. good reputation is how it makes everybody want to take it away from you.
