During thle day fromtt nine until three, for a period of 7 or 9 months, the child is placed Itn111de'r tie teacler's CIre. During this 1time the teacher has a good chance, while in classes, to detect the child's hearing, speech, and eye-sight. The teacher comes in much closer relation for such a purpose than do many par ents. When the boy or girl goes home in the afternoon he finds his mother doing her household work, shopping, or visiting; his father, on his fari, in his store, or at: his profession. The child is left to do his studying, i noticed, perhaps, by his parents.

For tle last tweinty-flve years tile people and thle agricultural papers of tle sotth have )e4en advocating rota tion and diversification of vrops. We I'ave had "'A llaners" and "Farmer's lnions" anti all other kinds of or'gani izatiolls in the way of pledges whicl Pavte ne'ver' yet ailullnted to much. We'er a few woulb comply with the 1'edge, tlerie would hi be s'veveraI break :11d try to make tip the shoLtaige of the few. Now what I want to get at is this: Ini oir last called session of oilr gen - eral assembly our i law iakier's passed a law--just, the very thing thia our farmers have been trying to get thsi many years, and Just as soon as we get what we have beeln working for all this time, hel' Comiies a Certain fac tion or element that wants this law abolished. I haven'1 a doitt but that some of our newly elected legislators have al ready had reiluests from iany to work in tile next session to repeal 11his law. Now as for imyself, I am inl favor of the new law. and will be against anly 111:111 or body of Imen who oppose It. Our government. for the last five years has had its investigations trying to find tie (ause of high living.. Now to my mind there would have been no need of this If the South had been raising her food supplies. Take for Instance the large land owner; you find him to a large extent against this new law. Why Is this? Is it becauso lie really thinks it against the average farmer, or is It because there Is not so much labor in growing grain as In growing cotton? To some extent the latter Is true. He wants his tenants to plant the crop that will re quire as nearly as possible all his time to cultivate. Ills excuse Is that lie can't afford to riu the hand on the one-third acre age system. Tf every farmer would have his tenants sow three acres of wheat on good land well prepared. give him hlis garden, and see that he planted plenty of corn, the people of this co11ntr3 would live after all. We all very well know that if ti'i war conditions.- couitinnle Ovwelve. )months -ogr, and anoihler full] cotton' crop prodlic'd Ord' would bw ie, sl1 for1 if:it an rs .and only thw il-it \%hot cld 1 g lt li'l id I 'colid pruld :hr11(i Ond teSmall farmer) would have to hire for wvages and b at t he mercy of tle few.
