There is hardly a 1'air.i in this coun try that has not some waste land. If there is, ic isn't in rool old New Kng ltnd. By waste land is meant laud practically useless to the farmer? ?nd that is looked upon as worth lit tle or nothing. In almost all eases it could be and should be made a aonree of revenue. To tiny that laud is useless, practi cally valueless. Seeded to pine, fortv /ears from now, when some son, vet to be born, may be twenty years'of aire, it may be covered with timber and worth approximately from two land red to tu\> hundred and llftv dol lars an acre. #This estimate of value j oil the returns from pines forty years old ami harvested uow ;*? while, if the recent tremendous in* arease in timber prices continues thro' four more decades, the returns from ?eeds planted at this time will be something enormously greater. TV?re are scientific ways of start ing a pine wood and there are easy* ways. Roth begin along the same course, the gathering of the seed. If takes two years for white pine seeds to grow. They must be gathered from the trees jusf before the cones open in their second year. In New Kng hmtL this is from the end of August to the middle of Sep!ember.

SCHOOLS By Pmor. WiLijiM H. Haicd. University of South Carolina. Paper Number Two. Beggarly Salaries for Teachers. The services ?f n bank cashier, of a bookkeeper, of a carpenter, and of a school teacher have a market value. 0 market value of these services is base,I upon what the employer teds that the employed is worth to the business. What value have the I>rople of South Carolina put upon the services of a white school teach er/ Last year the State paid an average of $2(>7. ? year, or $-lo.S7 a month lor a little less than six school months in the year.' This sul try is lower even by the month than tlie wages of an experienced drv geods salesmen, or a ? competent stenographer. By the year, the sal ary et the teaeber does not c*>mp:irc with t.iat ol the unskilled eaipouter, or plasterer, or bricklaver. Almost every town of J.000 people in the ? ? tate pays, by ihe ino:itli. hlj?h?r v.a^es to its polinniv.n titan to its women School teachers. Men teach ers are paid a litiL- better, but beg parlv salaries have nui almost all the men out iii | he school room.

Ihe real explanation is hard to ad mit: These salaries represent the valuation our people place upon edu cation. 1' Bv their fiuits ye shall know then:."^ Our people rate the cuucatiea of their children when they employ teachers, somewhat as thev rate their land when they visit the tax lister. Our people are well able to pav bet let salaries, and they will pay better salaries only after thev have come to appreciate the value of better teachers and better schools. Many of the praises of good schools are mere lip-service. Incompetent Teachers.?To discuss this feature of onr schools is very distasteful, but it must be done, anil done fearlessly. Kvery well-inform ed person knows that onr schools are burdened with a host of incompetent teachers, persons titled neither l?v nature nor by training. Such teach ers waste-the money of the children, milt Ihe children themselves, and discredit teaching itself. They know nothing about what to teach, and even less ahout how to teach. Time and again I have sat in schoolrooms watching the blind bluiiderings of teachers pl.idding through recitations without ever getting hold of a teach ing fact or a teaching principle, un til my very heart ached in sympathv for the children who had to endure it all. ^ et I have gone out from just such scenes to be toll within three hours by some patron that in that school thev had a fine teacher. The travesty of such teaching is bad enough, but when the patrons are pleased with it, it becomes pathetic. I enn put mv linger on the mimes of dozens of white school teachers who could not today pass au examination in tin* eighth grade in the Columbia city schools. ^ ot to these incom petents are entrusted the education of children, and the people are satis fled, and are paying to them the children 's money. 1 know ?teachers by name who go to their schoolrooms day after day without having studied a single les son they are supp-ned to tench. Some of them do not own a single book that they are attempting to (each. How can such teacher succeed ? If he has in him nothing of the student, how can he expect to inspire a pupil with the /.enI of the student / To such a teacher the names of Speicer and Artiol 1 and Mann are but sound ing hi ass and l inkling c,ipbals. Some teachers and some patrons bank hugely on the teacher's ex perience. Kxperience is an excellent thing when coupled with other quali fications, hut when divorced from them, experience is lo teaching pre cisely what it is to this practice of medicine?it kills as often as it ? urc*. Scholarship, studiousness, training, and energy are all necessary to the highest success in teaching, but there is another qualification which far ? outweighs all these combined?man Tiood! womanhood! The personality of the teacher is the first considera tion. N the tcncher able to take hold of the life of a child and guide him upward to the limit of the child's capacity? Is the teacher's life worthy of being reflected in the life of every child he tenches? If rot, he is incompetent. Will your teacher measure up to this standard ? Why aie so manv incompetent I teachers employed f There are Bev el nl icason.--., Ihe one most obvious is, that such teachers can be had cheap. Most people wish to keep open 11 "ir schools a reasonable length of lime, and the pittance in the sc'ioo' treasury will not employ a competent teacher for long. Hence, a plug, as the horse-iockev would sav, is put in charge of the school. When ever a school boai'd goes ouf* to find a cheap teacher, it succeeds in get ring a cheap one in wry sense. If a man go** on the market with sev entv-Ave cents with which to pur chase a dollar article he ueed not be surprised to get shoddy. A school board need not expect to get a $750 teacher for #267. Why will not a $1,000 man teach school for $500. Simply because he ha# sense enough to teach a school. Today in South Cavo. m any competent man teacher of two years' experience can..get a nine-months school at from $75 to $100 a month. School beards are ad vertising for such. Why should 1 oe willing to teach your school for $50 or $01) a mouth for less than nine months f When corn is selling ii^ the open market at one dollar a bushel, will I offer mine at sixty cents?if it is marketablef Docs the school board hunting u cheap teacher catch the mailing 1 However, there are other a:ul more serious reasons why we have so many incompetent teachers. There is the daughter of* the local trustee who must have so:nc of the school fund with which to buy her riot lies. -What difference dors it make if she has had no other education than that which she received in the very school she is going I?? try to tench"? What dif ference d:?c:* it maki if she knows no noie than some of her most ad vanced pupils? What difference does it make if she never saw an educa tional journal er a book on tuc ait of teaching? What difference dors it make if she is hut eighteen years old. and without a particle of ex perience in teaching or in life itself? Then there is poor widow Smith's dauj.ht or. The mother is poor, and the daughter is in poor health, per haps. Hcally the community owes both something, and the distrirt school is the easiest charily to be stow. The uneducated daughter can somehow drag through the recitations and manage to keep the big boys in side the school house. Siie gets the school, and the people solace them selves by thinking that they have done "a mighty good thing." Then again, there is Mrs. Brown. TO years old. No one ever accuse 1 her of br ing" educated, or in any other, way of being fitted to teach sttligol, but she taught school just hrfft^e the war. or just after the war. Some enemy to competence advocates her elect ion. remarking that "She is a mighty good teacher; I went to school to her forty years ago; in fact, she larnt me about all I ever was hunt." Mrs. Brown kreps the school house open most of the time for six months, draws $!.">(> of the defense less children's money, and the com munity feels tranquil over its act of pious gratitude. I hope that I, am not misunderstood in this last ex ample. I am glad to know that some teachers at seventy years of age, ed ucated and vigorous, are able to do effective work, even in the common schools. Old age and . misfortune should be gratefully remembered and cared for, but not at the expense of the education of our children. Pen sions should he paid outside |hc school house, not inside. There is vet a more serious rea son for the presence of so many in coivpotent teachers?more serious, be cause they are under the sanction of law. Hundreds of incompetent teach ers are in our schools because of the vicious system by which certificates are granted and renewed. I disclaim any intention whatever of casting any reflection against any set of per sons. hut under the present system we need not hope to get rid of in cHie'ency among our teachers of the common schools. Let us face the facts; Teachers' certificates are granted by the county boards of edu cation. composed of the county super intendent and two lay members ap pointed by the State superintendent upon the recommendation of the county superintendent. The county superintendents must go every two years to ask the people to vote for them. Many of the people who help to elect the superintendents expect a return of favors. These superin tendents must sit in judgment upon the efficiency of applicants to tench school. Who are some of these ap plicants? Sons and daughters, broth ers and sisters, of the men who help ed to elect the county superintendent. Now, it would he an insult to inti mate that any honest county super intendent would violate his honor bv granting intentionally an unmerited certificate, hut it requires sagacity to sec the unenviable situation of the superintendent in such contingency, lie ought to be relieved of any such embarrassment. Many claim that good teachers are assured by accepting the diplomas of reputable colleges in lieu of ex aminations. This plan is faulty. In our section of the country the term college has no definite meaning; there is nothing by which one college can be legally differentiated from an other. Therefore, all college gradu ates are accepted in the schools on equal terms, it is a fact well known to all educators that a person mav in the course of ten years not only fail to improve as teaching grows better, but actually grow inferior. Besides, seme college courses offer teacher training, some claim to do so. while others make no claim at all. Yet another defect must be taken into account: A stud'Mit with very poor preparation may go through a fairly n put able college, taking onlv academic work, onlv to find himself lamentably ignorant of the common school subjects which he is required fo teach. The best colleges and the pupils from the best colleges are the most willing to submit to examina tions for teachers' certificates. The certificates of teachers ought to be in the hands of a competent State Board, appointed to that office, and with certain wdl-dcfined quali fications. Still, a man or woman may pass an excellent examination, but prove a dismal failure in the school room. Such can be eliminated only through a responsible and competent supervisor. l'i:!il some such plan is adopted we may make up our minds fo having our schools tilled with in ferior teachers. Sup'.

In October, when leaves and flowers are dying, when Nature is closing her eyes for her long sleep, it is only those of experience who cry: "This is the best time to start a garden." There is always a setback to a gar den started in the spring, because it is not lohg enough l'roin tli?? *?me growth begins until the hour of bioum to give many plants their lull chance to expand bclorc sending forth their (lowers. A plant must almost reach maturity before it blooms, which in deed it only does that il may form seed and thus peipetuate itself to poster ity. To start a garden early is often the secret of success. Hv preparing the beds and borders in the autumn, di?r,ring tliem out about two feet deep, placing inverted sod in the bottom and linallv filling them up with layers of manure, light soil and top-dressing, much time is saved in the spring, when the irresistible not-a-minute-io-lose feeling is in the air. Besides, there is something about a well-settled bed that flowers like better than one that is quite new. If in the spring these autumn-prepared beds require extra mulcl^ig or ferti lizing, it is a matter that is very eas ily attended t?>. When the beds and borders are made, .the garden should be cleared of all sutylus material. The roots of strong weeds should be lifted, and a light dressing of manure spread over the places that are destined to be lawn the following spring.?Tip* October Delineator.
