When I read In a newspaper a short time ago that by an act of the legisla ture of Georgia that the OLD EL?E-] BACK SPELLER had been ,-estoredj to the public schools of that ?tat? O?U that this old book of blessed' nfc-niorV' was again .coming into its own,. I felt n thrill of Joy as I have seldom felt during rp" whole existence. This Item or r?w? caused me In my mind to go back to my childhood dayB and then to days later In life wu?" ! there were momenta that caused mc, to be glad that I waa living. I well re member with what pride I wore my J first red-top boots, then my school' :!uys when after I had been under the instruction of my teacher a sho rt- time that I went home at eventide and re ported that I "knew all my letters." And still later I had progressed un til I could spell all tho words up to "baker" and in time had gotten to "incomprehensibility," and .finally to tho word "whortleberry," which was the last word in the book. And how my ._Had ---'tl; "ride -"hen 1 ?'*ui boon able to spell down all the-boye and girls of my class and was declar ed the champion speller of tho school. When I arrived at young manhood and school days were-ever I sought tho girl ot my choice, to me tho brightest, tho prettiest and sweetest of the whole country and made-court to her. Then when Bhe was asked to go through Ufo with me she consented and our troth waa plighted, tho^e waa happiness ?that was beyond that ot mortal Ups to express. And when the first born came to bless that humble home there waa joy In tho household, such joy as comes to thousands ot others who are sim ilarly situated. And then again a lit tle over two years ago when news carno from Baltimore where the demo crats were holding a 'convention to nominate a candidate for the presi-1 doney of the United States, that Wood row Wilson, the Princeton schoolmas ter, had boen chosen hy, that party to iiacome tho head of the greatest cdu?-1 try upon which the sun ever shone, I felt that my cup of joy was tull to run ning over. - And n?w tn my older days I ami again made supremely happy In the . thought that my old fr?en':, thc com-1 panton ot my youth, tho OLD BLUE?

'BACK SPEELER that for nearly a| half century had been cast aside, rel egated to the shades of obscurity, thrown into the 'scrap pile" of litera ture, dust-covered BJKI moldering in tho attic, had been resurrected and in at least ono spot of earth was to be restored to tho place of honor from which it had been hurled by the un holy hands. The old spoiler that is to be UBed In Goorgia ls not to bo revised* it nover has needed, or will lt ever need revision-from the very first it has boon perfect and with the hundreds of other spellers that have been print-' od and forced on the schools there ls not ono that is in any way the equal cf the old blue-back of years ago. There ls one Blblo, only one, one isl nil wo need-there has never been In the United States but one speller that I was worthy the name-that is Web- j stor's OLD BLUE-BACK. The Georgia, speller is to have the same old but ever new pictures of thc long ago. How the boys abd girls of the then loved to read of the Farmer who found tho bad boy in his apple tr co and how. ho brought the young thief to terms by throwing stones at the young rascal who was perched oh Uie limbs of tho troe. Then there waa "The Country Maid and Her Milk Pall," and "'Tho Two Dogs,' where Tray got a beating for being caught In bad company. .There waa also tho "Partial Judge,' whose bull gored his neighbor's ox, or others that wero al most as intorestlng, really more so than tho tales of the "Arabian Nights.' The Tri-Weekly Constitution of At lanta, easily tue leading paper of the ?South, holds this book ? in such high esteem' that lt . offers a copy of that speller as a premium with each yearly subscriber to that journal. If I did not already have a copy of the old blue-back spellers and could not get ono otherwise, I would at once for ward my subscrlnticn to the Consti tution in order to secure thai valuable I j)remiu-/.i. other papers might do wtl lo go tt??u ?jr? likewise. Thoro are two books and perhaps only two, Mother's old family Bible and Grandfather's Old Blue-Back Speller that have never as yet been improved by either revision or sub stitution. It was the sacred pages of tho oho that was tho solace and com fort of that mother l'i^n*1?* declining days; lt is from tho pages of the other that Ute millions of boys and girls of d.i. _,_j ...... .... w.,n inuuni iw leau L1IU (lj*OUl iscs ??uialned in Holy writ Tho old blue-back spelling book and the old family Bible have been worth more to the poople of the United States than all the other books, pam phlets and newspapers that have over been issued from the presses of thc nation. Thcso two books are co-exlst ont with tho progress of education in thc United States since, or even before the Declaration of Independence was signed In 1776. Throo-fourths of tho presidents of tho United States, an equal number of our United States senators, perhaps bhe-half of our prosont congressmen, t-wo-thlrds of Gio railroad magnates of the hatton, a great big majority of the men who have modo their names ah financiers, three-fifths of those who are known to thc wo^ld as men of let tors-^-thoio who aro known in thc arts and scioncos. and the millions upon millions of the bone and sinew of this country loamed their A. B. C's from the old blue-back spelling hook while Sitting on rude benches Gist had been vewed out by willing hands. If all tho old blue-back, spelling books that have been printed and used ?ba1 the boys and girls of this country could bo brought together and piled in oho great heap they would - form a pyramid that would reach far up into Gie heavens above and if that lot of books woro set on fire tho blase there 'frcm would light the whole civilised world. Of course I lovo that old spelling ,book. Next to Gie Bible it la to me tho most precious book that has ever boen printed from ?nv of tho thane*** presses of Gie nation. From G-neals to Revelation I read; and ponder Gie bc oks and In a mander try to make my life conform to Ute teachings of that blessed volume. From Gie A, B, C'S on page IS to the word "Whortleberry' at Gie bottom of Gie last page of Gie old spelling book, I find word?, sen ? ton cea and pictures that take ma back ft?my younger days wfc?n as a bare rooted boy in the country school M| I started ont to obtain an education Gist would fit and qualify me for the duties to responsibilities of cltlsen sklp.

(Special).-Tho Cltadel-Clcmson g^mc last Saturday, which resulted in a score, of 14-0 favoring Clemson, was a great exhibition of high class foot ball. . ,The game was intensely excis ing from beginning to end and both teams showed good training and great lighting spirit. Considerable rivalry exists between the two-schools and the Citadel has been trying for years to put out a team that would beat the Tiger aggregation. But regard less of this" there is a general ten dency among the Citadel cadets to| prefer de'feat when such must come at the hands ot the Cleroson team] rathor from other teams in the State. One ot the reaspns for this' "ts (the ad mirable fact that they'win solely up on their strength and tactics and not by any lowly methods. In criticizing our recent conquerors too much pari8o can not be given them for the clean, hard fought game which they put up and for their gentlemanly con duct while in the city. The same may bo said of the Bulldog Warriors, but that of course, ls for otbere to deter mino. Although you beat us, old j Clemson, we wish you success dur ing tho remainder of tho season and I on Thanksgiving, while we are giving (ar lol na a dose we hope that you] will be making it hot for old Tech. A pleasant climax of the day was tho danc?'given in honor of the Clem son team oh Saturday night. The dance was.hold in the Pew gymnasium hall otfvMeetihg street and quite a large ntimber wer? present for th happy occasion. Capt. Louis Knox, professor of chemistry, and the members of .his senior elective class.
