Moat Wake Up.
We have done much educationally
in theCarolinas in the last ten years.
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. Minimum term
of six months must ue provided for

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. Not only do
these trees stand In a clasa by them
selves because of their long life, but
they are classed among the wonder*
of the earth because of their giant
•ixe.

feet high and 31 feet in diameter,
and the tallest/ is the William Mc

diameter.
In the General Grant Park the
