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.

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. Learning
by Doing. * i
