cV MODERN EDUCATION IrfP The direction of all education throughout the United States is towards a more practical and useful education without sacrificing anything of the old literary and scholastic education. To this end, private schools are more or less giving way to public schools, and the curriculums of public schools are being augmented to carry extension schools in industrial, vocational, domestic science and agricultural teaching. By this means young men and young women are educated to participate in the activities of the communi* ties in which they live, thus saving their going away to some distant country in which they may find opportunity. It is found that the practical education and training helps to show up the opportunity of any community. A practical industrial and agricultural education qualifies young men and young women to help out the community, instead of their education being a burden on a community. This is made manifest by the fact that the A. & M. Colleges throughout the country are surpassing in numbers and in the extent of their curriculiums, tne old literary and scholastic institutions. These modern schools sacrifice nothing of the old education. The practical training and instruction is over and above what has heretofore been received. Clemson College, although only 20 years old, has far outstripped the university in the number of its students. This is true of all A. & M. colleges, as compared with any of the old i scholastic and literary institutions. The Winthrop Normal School, with its army of girls,1 is doing work that was hereto- j fore entirely omitted. The! modern boy or girl, not only re- j quires a practical education, but! hey themselves realize it and j insist upon it. The school at: Edgefield may be made preparatory to any of the state institutions for practical as well as the scholastic and literary education.?Charlotte Observer. Mr Tsift's rnnf'?>wiitn My sin is an indisposition to labor a3 hard as 1 might; a disposition to procrastinate and a k disposition to enjoy the fellowship of others more than I ougnt.?Confession by President Taft. The frankness of this is inimitable, coming as it does from v a President of the United States jr in the last days of his power. Now that Mr. Taft has himself confessed it, there are others who may be inclined to say that they had observed this fault in him before he became President. Whether he has suffered from it politically is a question difficult to answer; but possibly the strongest evidence to show that he has may be found in that all-starred Winona speech, after the enactment of the Payne-Aldrich tariff. Mr. Taft put off the composition of it so long that he finally had to dictate it between railroad stations on the way to the Minnesota fair. When he did begin a real hustle in the primary light with Mr. Roosevelt, the reservoir of energy he drew on and used so lavishly was of no avail to save him. But it would, of course, be beside the mark to place much emphasis upon what Mr. Taft calls his sin. He has done an enormous amount of work first and last.?The Springfield Republican.
