Possibly there are other trusts tlmt are sitting around on the anx ious seat and wondering who .will be called for next. ■ Tom Lawsou's silence at this juncture, can be accounted for on ly on the ground that he is too full of joy for utterauce. While the douma may not bring Russia a constitutional govern ment, all at once, a Iwgiuning had to be made somewhere. Carter Harrison will breathe easier to learn that the Chicago City Hall is safe. Still he knows that it needs a guardian. Crook County, Oregon, was named after the big laud and tim ber thieves who operated within its borders. The name was a hap py forethought,* Some persou with a great head could fill a long felt want by start ing an insurance company for the insurance of insurance companies against loss. Well, if H. H. Rogers does not like the way the present adminis tration is conducting affairs about Standard Oil, he can run for Pres ident himself next time. A Colorado man says that if you rub a raw onion on your head ev eiy day, it will keep your hair from falling out. It will also keep your frieuds from dropping in. If any one hands you a circular and you accept the same, it is un lawful to throw the pai>er on the. street after you have read it. Take it home to the loved ones and avoid trouble. Sometimes Senator Aldrich and Senator Klkius with a few others meet in an obscure corner and ask themselves if this can be the same Senate that they have l>een at so much trouble to train. Secretary Hitchcock need not suspenned his efforts to get after land tnieves for lack of material to work upon. Utah, Montana, Washington and Oregon can keep him going all summer. v — ~ President Roosevelt will not need to go "broncho busting" in order to get excitement. There is larg er game in the east that needs "bursting" a great deal more than do the wild horses of the plains, Doubtless there are reckless ] young men in liayonne, New* )et sey who will consider It one of the joys of their lives, tobe"pinched" should the town adopt the idea of ' lady policeman, as it threatens to , do. A story is going the rounds that Speaker Cannon has admitted til at he can only see a Republican 111 - ■ jority of fifteen for the next Con gress And John Sharp Williams is sure he is straining his eyes at that. Booker Washington is advising his people to abandon expensive funerals, and spend their money for the liviug. The proper appli cation of this advice is not limited ! to any race, color or previous con dition of servitude. When the Washington and Philadelphia baseball clubs were tied for the leadership, recently, most of the newspapers, generously put Washington ahead so it would have something to talk about for the rest of its life. - » Houston Post. —The Washing-] ton Post alludes to Texas as being out of the corn belt.

Cow- , per for the News and Observer, "A i Plea for More Kfficient Rural Kd- ' ucation " The great masses of the people of the county cannot l>e educated , save through sacrifice. You have got to realize that you are commit ing a gross error when you allow your child's mind to grow up weedy, so to speak; far more so than when you allow your crop to grow up uncultivated. The rural school, you all know, is not so efficient as the graded schools in the towns. We want to see the standard of the rural school rise. We want to give the average country boy and girl the opportu nity of further development, We want to see him go through the gradffl school, go back home and make a still better citt/.en than his father, Ijecause a more efficient tnati. You owe it to your child to make him or her a better man or womaii than yourself. If we do not real ize this there can be no progress and advancement; on the other haud we would have stagnation and decay. Do not tie the dead corpse to the liyiug man; therefore, do not tie our old customs, prejudices • and shortcomings to the embyro may hood. A I'lea For /"lore Efficient Rural Education. The educational tide of North Carolina is at its flood. 'Av cock and others to whom honor is due, have done a great work, and have done it well. They have created with the great mass of people in the State a desire for higher education. This desire has not been bred in fancy, nor is it fleeting. It is deeply rooted in conditions which, instead of abat ing, will continue to nourish it un til desire becomes determination. Indeed with the great majority determination already exists. Now in the realization of this lies the future of the State. The possibilities lie open. With the higher education of the masses North Carolina places herself in the very fore- front of States. , Without it she must be content with medioc rity. We firmly believe the State will cast for the higher lite. As has been said, the first great step has been taken in the creation of a universal desire tor education, but the second and more important step caiinot yet lie said to have been taken. Provision has not been made in the rural district for higher education. How to make this provision is a great problem though I believe it can and should 'be solved. The solution in the , town has l>eeii the establishment >of graded schools. The results are admirable. Now why may the children of the towns enjoy this great blessing ( of the new era, while # those of the cou.ntiy must be content with the 1 old order of things? Is the conn- ' try still too poor to efficiently pre pare its youth for manhood and womanhood ? I l>elieve not. The towns by levying a tax of 35 to 50 ceutsjw the hundred dol lars maintain schools that fairly well lit the children for life. The country people could get almost the same results and on a much smaller percentage. The follow ing plan is humbly submitted for consideration. Let each county establish a high school in one or more centrally located points. These schools to teach only the higher grades and to carry on the work from say the filth grade. The present school could arrange their curriculum to lead directly up to that of the high schools. The ex penses of operating the high schools could be paid out of the genera) fund of the county alter the apportionments had been made to the incorporated districts. The county superintendents of the smaller counties could be employed on the salary basis, and have added to their present duties those of sup erintending the high schools. The two good results of this would lie | obvious (t) It would place the rural schools and the high schools under the same management and thus effect uniform system. (2). It would justify the county in employing au efficient man who would lie expected to devote his entire time and attention to the work. The curriculum in such a school could lie arranged to lead up to the requirents for eutrance at the University and the colleges. The University now boasts of being at the head of the public school sys tem in North Carolina, but it is easy to see how defective the sys tem is, as far as the majority of the children in the State are con cerned. Very few rural schools there ar.e in this State, the course of study in which would prepare one for entering the University. But with the chasm between the public schools and the University bridged across by, county high schools, how perfect the system would be ! Then could it be said that there is a public road leadin" to the higher life. But the objection of cat and s tance nntst be overcome. If towns of less than one thousand inht. 1 >i tants maintain by taxation gra-l-u schools with complete curric. 1«, why, 1 ask, can not each county support one or more high schools with cutric'ulum fitting iietween the ordinary fifth grade :rid Uni versity work. As for distance, people with their present letermi nation will not let that bir th»*m from the higher life. Tlie public roads of the State are being greatly improved and this means that 1 i tances are being shortened. For those who preferred it, board and lodging could be procured at actu al cost. It has often been proved that enterprises can be operated more economically through the ag ency of the government than through that of individuals as the element of profit is eliminated. This would seem to be a great un dertaking. So would it be though I-believe the results would easily justify the expenditure. The iie inands of the time are that sonic thing be done. The people have been awakened. They want high er education. I«et it be provided them ere reaction settle them, vnt isfied without it. B. T. Cow PR k. "Spring Cleaning" Needed.
