SCHOOL CHILDREN
By Prof. W. H. Hand.
The writer is a devoted friend
to the public schools, feelingly
sympathizes with the teachers in
their problems and has unbounded
faith in the merits of modern
education. However, he is not
blind to the faults of the schools
or to the shortcomings of the
teachers. Perhaps the grayest
fault of the present-day public
school is its overloaded course of
study. The school is overloading
the pupils with subjects and with
books. New subjects are constantly
being introduced into the
schools; almost every subject is
being, from year to year, subdivided.
and each division calls for
a book and is given a place in
the schedule of school studies.
Not only the tendency, but the
actual practice, is to give to the
pupils a mere smattering of many
things and a mastery of very few.
To see school children from 8
to 14 years of age struggling
through each yea? with six, seven
and eight school studies, exclusive
of writing, drawing and
music, ought to cause teachers,
school boards and parents to consider
the end of it all. The mentally
strong and physically robust,
and the mentally weak and
physically weak, are all given
practically the same tasks within
the same time.
The law protects the child from
overwork in the mill and the
mine; the overloaded horse and
the underfed mule have some protection
at the hands of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. Who is protecting the
overloaded and underfed child in
the schools? Recently much attention
has very properly been
directed to the sanitation of
school houses and the general
?1 1 -t:u r_
nvciitii ui dcuuui cuuureu. is it |
not time to turn some attention
to another phase of the children's
welfare?
The conditions under discussion
are not the fruits of a morbid
imagination. To see them one
has but to look about him. The
schools throughout the State have
just opened or are about to open.
Look at the book lists of your
children; look at the load of books
the children lug to and from
school each day. Can the normal
child master and assimilate what
he is given each year? Is it any
wonder that examinations in all
these books give children nightmares?
Would it not be far better,
more sane, to give four or
five subjects at a time, and to
master these, than to browse
over seven or eight?
Loved Stonewall Jackson.
At a meeting of Confederate
veterans held in Norfolk, Va.,
Friday, Jefferson Shields, the
aged negro cook of Gen. Stonewall
Jackson, made a little speech
about Gen. Jackson in which he
said:
"I love young men because
t.hf?V nrf> strnnnr T Mown

Jackson because he was a strong
man. He was a strong Presbyterian
and didn't mean no foolishness.
Marse Jackson always
laughed and shook hands with
me whenever he met me on de
road and said: 'Jefferson, don't
you go to the front; I want you
to keep out of danger,' Love
such a man as that? How could
I help it? T'want no danger I
wouldn't have faced for him."

Origin of Cottonseed Oil.
It has recently been discovered
that the Chinese were the first
to discover the uses of cottonseed
oil. These ingenious people,
centuries ago, learned to crush
the seed and burned the oil obtained
in their crude hand lamps.
The phlegmatic celestial, however,
makes little of inventions and
discoveries, and is not. so ontror
to let the world know of his accomplishments
as he might be,
so, for a great many years after
cotton raising had become a great
world industry, the seed was
considered worthless, except to
reproduce its kind. In fact, it
was considered injurious, both to
feed animals and to scatter upon
the land. This shown by some ;
of the early laws in many of the
Southern States. The natural
result of these laws and super-'
stitions was the piling up of huge
mounds of seed on tracts of
worthless land, surrounded by
fences, which were house high, !
bull strong and pig tight, as it
was against the law to run the
seed into the streams, for it was
considered injurious to the fishes
i even. The goat was exempted.
Nothing could injure the goat,
and he was allowed to winter at
his pleasure on cotton seed. So
i it happened the "Billy" became
the discoverer of the wonderful
feeding value of cotton seed as a
flesh and fat producer. It was
also discovered that cotton seed
was a most valuable fertilizing
agent, equal to the best Peruvian
guano and the dump heaps soon
disappeared, as the knowledge
became current among the cotton
planters. The beginning of the
oil industry may be said to date
in the year 1851, when cotton
seed oil was awarded a prize at
an exhibition that year and people
began to look into its uses.
From that time the growth was
rapid until now, according to
latest statistics, there are nearly
1,000 cotton seed mills in the
United States alone, and there is
a demand for every pound of cotton
seed meal produced by these
mills.
