In 1900 the average caHd outside North J^arollna bad Just twice as long a school term, had just twice aa good a chance for an education, as the average child in North Caroli na—and South Carotins was not much better. Under the leaderabip of Mclver and Aycock and Alderman and Joyner, we have pulled mightily forward, in North Carolina, and South Cardliha under a great number of leaders had also pulled forward, un til the average child outside the Car-> olinas how has bniy a i>0 per cent better chance than the average boy or girl in the Caroltnas—a 60 per cent better chance Instead of twice aa good a chance aa in 1900—and yet, as we said last week, we are still at the foot of th4 ladder. North Carolina and South Carolina nfust wake up. Some have fancied lately that vve might rest upon our laurels when in fact we nave no laur els to rest upon. a six-months' school term for all our farm boys and girls—even If it means an in crease from 20 to 2i cents in the general' school levy in North Caroli na and a corresponding increase in South Carolina—mus: :»e had. For one thing, school funds raised by general levy througnout a State .ould be paid into and out of the State Treaaury so as to equalize the term—for the child on the sand dunes of the Atlantic or the coves of e Blue Ridge ia as much a child if the State and nas as much of ita hope and its promise wrapped up in his, bosom as any city cnnd in Ral- !gh or Charleston.

The oldest living tilings in the world, says a Washington dispatch, are the sequoia trees In the General Grant and Sequoia national parks. The government has just Issued a bulletin telling all about them and how to get to them. These trees are also the tallest trees anown. Within the two parks there are thirteen groves containing over 12,000 trees larger than ten feet in diameter. It Is estimated that some of these trees were growing 4,000 years ago. In fact, annual wood rings have been counted on one of the fallen giants in the Sequoia park showing that it had reached that age. The great pinea of the Pacific coast, 400 and 600 years old have reached old age, but the sequoia trees several times as old as great pines, are still in the bloom of youth. pines, are still in the bloom of beauty before they are 1,600 years old, and are In their prime when 2,000 years old, not becoming old In less than 3,000 years.
