A Word in Season to Planters. J It would be wall for cotton growers earcfu'ly to consider the war question in preparing acreage for planting this season. Another bumper crop on top of the one now being marketed, with every prospect of a general upheaval in Kurope at any moment, would certainly seil for even lower prices than those which have ruled this year. As prices this season have been upprotitable, it is hard to redize what even lower prices next season would mean for the South. ?New Orleans Picayune. I Teaching Patriotism at 'School. It is well to have a care that the oultureof patriotism in our schools docs not descend to a perfunctory observance of empty forms, lte spect for the government, and knowledge of its functions, are more important than sentimental cheering of the Hag or the repeti tion of high sounding patriotic pledges. Let the child know what government has done for him and is doing for him. Try to make him feel what he would lose were the government overthrown. Contrast the present liberty which wo enjoy, with the cruelties of modern and ancient despotisms. Bring the lesson home by practical illustrations, drawn from the fruitful pages of history. Improve every opportunity to let the child see the practical utility and beneficence of popular government The general carrying out of this program in all our schools is necessary if we would train up citizens * who shall be beyond the baleful inlluencc of both the anarchist and the political partisan.
