LARGE PARTY AT PINEHURST Hopkins Men Will Tiy to Solve Many of the Sun's PrcuVcnu. Special to Baltimore Sun. Pinehiiist. X. ('., May 20. The .lohns Hopkins I'niversity party, which is here to observe the eclipse of the sun May 2S. has ..received a visit from Professor YN'illson. of Curle toiv College. Xorthfield, Minn., who has established an eclipse station a few miles east of Pinchurst. near Southern Pines, lie has in hand some problems which are occupying also the attention of the Pinehiirst party. The party from the Johns Hopkins is the largest of any in the whole path of the eclipse's totality, nunilier ing Professors Skinner and Kichel hergefi'of the navy; Mr. King, assist ant. Hsfroiiollier of the Xaval Obser vatory; Dr. Chase, of Yale I'niversity: Messrs. Lawtou, Col ton and Clcve. of the Xaval Observatory,, mid six mem bers. of the .lohns Hopkins I'niversi ty 's-physical department.' In addi tion to these several more Hopkins professors and students are expected to come this week, and one or two more from the Xaval Observatory. Some five or ten others have been pressed into service as assistants or ohservers. Prof. Bauer, 'of the I'nited 'States Coast and Geodetic Survey, has 'prom ised to establish V magnetic observa tory here, and Professor Wood, of the I'niversity of Wisconsin, a former Johns Hopkins mail, is expected Monday. When completed .-'the. ob serving party at Pinehiirst will num ber nearly thirty. , ' . An attempt is to be made to solve many interesting questions which have never heeu satisfactorily answer ed by. the observations at previous eclipses. The two most , iniirtant. problems to deal with is the nature and constitution of the corona and chromosphere of the sun. .. As is gen erally known, the sun consists of an extremely large, spherical mass, pro bably, nolid, which Is surrounded Iri an atmosphere, just as the earth has an atmosphere of air; but that of the sun consists of vapors of metals such ns Iron, calcium and silver, together with many ordinary gases, such as hydrogen and oxygen. This atmos tyliere is called the.-, chromosphere.

Mebane's Letter to Com. missioner Lacy TAKES 'ADVANCE GROUNDS FOR THIS STATE Favors Laeal Option Laws Rather tban a General Statute Supt. Motes of Raleigh Accord With This Idea. . The report of the" Labor Statisti cian, by oniinissioncr Lacy and As sistant liaison, was issued last even ing and is considered most excellent. The subject, of compulsory educa tion is discussed, and the following letter from Superintendent of Public Instruction C. II. Mebnue given: Hon, B. If. Lucy. Commissioner of La bor and Printing, lialeigh, X. ('.: ' My Dear Sir: I take pleasure in complying with your request for an opinion from me iikii th? subject of Compulsory Kducation." In the first, place, I will-say that the character of Our public schools and the quality of file teaching done, taken lis a whole, has been and is such that. I Jiave been slow to favor a compulsory attendance law for this State. According to my Educational Re port, for the year 1K!)S. the percentage of white school population in attend ance on schools was only .14 7-10 per cent; of colored population, ::2 :t-J(l per cent. ... ' ; ,t The figures are enough to inuke every man in Xorth Carolina, pause, and consider what is the cause and what is the remedy from my point of view: First, and that which is the most alarming is careless, indifferent par ents. It is wonderful how ' many fathers and mothers we have in this State who do not realize the awful responsibility that rests upon them as to the future welfare of their children. Second- Poor 'teachers in the public schools. Teachers whose work and lives have hrid very little effect Inside the; school rooiri and no effect on so ciety ami ihe community at large for the cause of public ediicalioii. Third Hud iniinagenieiit on the part of school officials. Merit Iff; had very little encouragement- in so many instances. The powers that be have been more concerned for the continuance of said powers than ihey h'ave been for the .'progress and ad vancement or the. schools. ' The remedy that has been and is used to reach I In- children in :tl States is the strong arm of the law. All of the Xew England States have compulsory attendance laws. All of the Middle Atlantic States, except Virginia, have compulsory' attendance laws. All of the Central States, ex cept Missouri, have compulsory at tendance laws. All of the liockv Mountain and Pacific States am.l Ter ritories... except .Xew Mexico. ! have compulsory attendance laws. Let each reader examine the follow ing list of States carefully. Compare the illiteracy of those States which have a. compusory attendance , law with the illiteracy of ihose States which have 110 compulsory iiftcndance law. .. ' List of States which'' have compul sory attendance laws, showing the tier cent of illiteracy of whole popu lation, according to the Census of I Mill, is lis follows: Ohio. .1 per cent; Connecticut. .'!: Xcbraska. :i; Montana. 5: Wisconsin. 7: Minnesota, ti: New Hampshire. 7; Kentucky. 22: Massachusetts, (i; In diana.

( Xow I sk what are' the people of North Carolina going to do aliout if.' It is weli to note that in the list of State having compulsory attendance laws, not n single Southern State is to be found. I have heard those who are opHised to compulsory education say that it is contrary to the American' spirit. If this statement, be true. then the American spirit is rapidly disappear ing in the Cnited States, since all the States have such laws, except fifteen, and then fifteen, bear in mind, have the most illiterafe population. v This large number of States which has enacted compulsory attendance laws shows very clearly to inv mind that the way to reach the children is by legislation.
