In every neighborhood , relates lie Chicago
Peat It la possible that h'.s parents might
taw been able to do something with him
If thay had tried , but they ssver tried.
The man was long-Suffering and patient ,
but there was a limit to hla patience. The
boy ' never went In or oat of the flat building
that he did not press the button of the electric
bell for the flit In which the man lived , and
usually for ell the other" flats In the building

The man made a complaint , but the boy's
father laughed him to scorn. Jamie wouldn t
do , such a thing , and even If he would It was
a pretty small thing for a grown man. to bo
Interfering with hta childish sport and bear
ing -talcs about him.
Another ofthe neighbors mad * a complaint ! -
plaint , and the boy'a mother retorted that
the little darling didn't mean any harm and
eho ' certainly could not think of punishing
him for such a trifling thlig as that.
It Is apt to be a pretty serious matter to
Inflict ccrporal punishment upon a nslgh-
bor's child , and consequently the man under ,
took to think up tome other scheme. Ho [
w successful , and the next evening , which
"happened " to be Saturday , 'he brought home
a llttlo cell of Insulated wire.
Tlot night he worked late around the en
trance to the building.
Sunday morning the oweet little darling
started dowrstalre two stcpa at a tlrao while
his father and mother were still sipping
their bnakfast coffee , It made an awful
racket , but It was his regular way of going
doun stairs , and all the occupants of the
building were used to U.
In 'tho vestibule the little darling paused to
give bis usual serenade. It was such sport ,
you know , to ring all the Ulls Just at the
brcakfsst hour Sunday * morning. He began
at tlio top and went < Jown ode row of but-

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH
Developmsntoftho Pnllio School Syitem
in the Last Twenty Years.
MARKED PROGRESS UNDER DIFFICULTIES
SclioolH for the ninck * nnd the Whltm
Tenchlnjc theXer nor o
Mnnlpnlflte the tfcedlo Kd-
i acatlonal
An Interesting- feature of the educational
exhibit at tha Atlanta exposition , aaya 'tho
New York Independent , waa the charts show.
Ing the status and progress ot the systems
of different countries and of the several
states ot our owe country. Of these none
attracted more attention than that relating
to the progresa of education In the south for
the- two decades 1875 to 1895. The mere facb
of an Increase In the enrollment of publto
schools signifies little , for this kj sure lo
take place under ordinary conditions ; but
the relative Increase Is Impressive. In 1875
the enrollment was equal to 16.11 per coat of
the population , In 1885 It was 19.51 per cent
and In 1695 U had risen to 21.09. Tbe aver
age attendance varied but little , being for the
respective years 62.34 per cent , 61 per cent
and C3.77 per cent of the enrollment. It must
bo remembered that few of the southern
states have a compulsory law , and they suf
fer further the usual drawbacks of agricul
tural regions. The Kicreaso In expenditure
has more tban doubled In the twenty years ,
rising from $13,021,514 In 1875 to $29,372,990
In 1895 , or an Incrcasa In expenditure per
capita of population from 81 cents to $1.21.
The two Items of chief moment In the showIng -
Ing are tbo increase In tbo number of school
houses and the average number of school
days In the year. The lack of school houseo
was s > no of "tho greatest obstacles to the
planting of public school systems In these
states after the civil war. The table shows
that as against 49,447 such buildings In 1875 ,
In 1895 there were 91,288. Meanwhile the
average school year has Increased from
ninety-three to 108 days.
This showing was , end Is , a just cause of
prldo to the states of tbe group ; but. like all
summaries , It conceals Inequalities that cast
dark shadows over the picture.
In the last official report for Louisiana the
state superintendent wrote :
"Notwithstanding the numerous educa
tional agencies , public and private , there Is
yet a largo mass ot untaught children , "
GEGROIA SOHOOLHOUSES.
The state sur jrlntendent ot Georgia stated
not long ago to the state legislature :
"I have been going up and down In our
state and I have been taking an Inventory
of the kind of school houses you arc build
ing In the country for the children to go to
school In , and I find that all the school-
housm In the average counties of Georgia ,
outside of the cities aud towns , are worth
lees than $2,000. The average number of
houses Is about sixty , and your commission
ers report that all sixty are worth only
$2,000 or less , nut let mo tell you , Rcntle-
men , you are building another kind of house
you have already built another kind of
house In eighty out of ninety counties I
have visited this year. In eighty out of
ninety counties you have been building fine
jails.
"All the schoolhouecs In your counties are
worth less than $2,000 , nnd yet you are
building those fine jails all over Georgia In
which to put those black boys and those
whlto boys when they are grown up In Ig
norance and get Into trouble. Then cornea
this vision of 200,000 ot pale-faced and sable-
faced children that are appealing to the
people In Georgia to be lifted over the dark
stream of Ignorance which lice between them
and the place of safety. Thcso 200,000 chil
dren are lifting up their hands to this
Georgia legislature and asking. What are
you going to do about It ? Are you going
on building jails that cost $ G,000 to $10,000 ,
thcso great , Iron-barred prisons tn which to
confine tbe children of Georgia ? Are you
going to keep that up ? I appeal to you , gen
tlemen , that the time has come In Georgia
to change the kind of buildings you are
erecting ; . If the Germans are correct , that
what you put into the life of the nation you
put Into the children at school , then the
time in Georgia has come when wo should
have better schoolhousea planted ell over
the state than wo bave now. And I tell you ,
If you will put better and more schools and
make a longer school term , and par the
right salaries to teachers , my friend , the
principal keeper of the penitentiary , will
have a better report than he now has. "
PROGRESS IN MISSISSIPPI.
In bis last report as state superintendent ,
Hon. J. R. Preston of Mississippi made a
brief review of progress from 1885 to 1895.
It U a history ot efforts to overcome in
equalities ; but ho did not fall to dwell oa
those that remain. Chief among thcoe la the
unequal school Income ot tbe different coun
ties. On account of the peculiar distribu
tion of the people the showing illustrate !
In a striking manner the special difficulties
of the southern school Bjatema. Of the
twenty counties In Uie state ten ore clashed
aa white and ten as black. From the gen
eral summary ot the school revenues It ap
pears "that tbe white counties receive $1,652
apiece more than they pay , and that the
black counties pay on an average $256 mcce
than they receive. " It appears further that
"tho black counties have 40 per cent Icager
terms and pay 37 % per cent better average
aalarlea than tbe whlto counties ; but tbey en
rolled sixty-four pupils to each school , while
the white counties enrolled fifty-two pupils. "
A further sitting of tbo data explains this
surprising result : In the black counties one-
fl.'th of the population are whites , and It 1 *
easily tliown that tbe main advantage gained
by the black counties accrues to the white
children ; a result chiefly from the fact that
the ochools for the blacks are rural schools ,
consequently cheap and Inferior.
Mr. Preston peada ! In the report for a more
equable system of raising and distributing
school money , the surrender ot the district
system and , slnco the weakness of tha rural
schools U In the want ot skilled teaching ,
(10 urgec above all that the state should
toke every possible- means of bringing nor
mal training "to the doors of the teachers"
In order that It may be possible to require
some degree of special preparation from
every one who attempts to teach and trata
a future citizen of the United States.
It U candid statements like these that
make the most hopeful proralso for the fu
ture. They come from earnest men who
bave caught something of the earnestness of
Horace Mann , and who are repeating la the
south Uio kind of effort that Massachusetts
required in his day.
EDUCATION OP THE NEW UOY.
Now that ao much Is going forward , or
Imagined. In the production ot new types
of humanity , the question naturally arlics
If anything can be done with boys. They
are such unquestioned specimens ot nature
In the original package , says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat , that the mature mind
would bo apt to dismiss 'tho ' subject with the
venerable remark that boys will be boys. '
liut It the boy , In a general sense , remains
the same from age to age , ho undoubtedly
shows some variations , according to his
training arid surroundings. The American
fcoy , for example , was never more ardently
devoted to athletics than now and he has
made the pace very hot. While the youth
of England spen-i two afternoons in a game
ot cricket , our young gladiators compress the
fun Into two hours of base ball ; and , us for
foot ball , It to no longer In order to speak orof
the piping times of poice. Its victories , In tca-
dcmlo circles , are more renowned than -var
and Its casualties , from their alloverlsh d .n-
ago , rather more serious than those of a
warm brush between two army skirmish
lines.
But tbere are reformers devoted to tbe
Idea that boys can be Improved In other
than what are called masculine accompllih-
mentr. These sanguine persons are usually
connected wltb schools and experiment wltb
theories backed up by authority. In Har
lem , N. Y , , a tow weeki ago the school l
board 'decreed that tbo boy pupils , i well
as the girls , should be instructed In needle
work. Tbe * ltu tlon was accepted by the
boys , who seem to bave been willing to find
out what there was ( or them In a sewing
circle wltb maidens ot their own age. To be J
sure , tbe garmcntf they produced looked :
like gr a * ducking suit , which la eut out >
with a scythe and lapped together wltb cot
ton twine , but they stuck to their lestoni
and tome even lnil Ud on itudylug tt night.
This made mischief. Their parents lookoJ
i them uneasily. M If they were not root !
bom. ] The parents finally rose < ln revolt and
needlework la no longer taught the boys of
Harlem.
In 1 ono of the high schools of Cincinnati
ten toys bare been enrolled to study cook
lot under * young womam who l a profes
sional teacher ot this noble form of cheoUs'
tri , utlllied thrco times a day. The ctosa
meets recularlr In the basement ot the high
rohool , attlrcl In the rogiilatlon cap and
_ anron. Their first lesion was poached eggs ,
showflaR a high degree of confidence- their
talent , for the safest start for a boy In cul
inary practice li egga hard boiled. Next
they were taught to react potatoes , toast
bread and provide & jtr of the ever iisefuJ
bread < crumbs. At the end ot thr lejion the
bo wcro permitted , not compelled , to eat
th , articles they had prepare . Perhaps
this new branch will succeed If resttlete4
todll a soldier's , hunter's , fisherman's or Ktca-
dlko menu. A boy would glory In cooking
army flapjacks and In learning how to glvo
them < , when brown on one side , that grace
ful twirl lu the air which , when fully mas
tered , makes a soldier an ornament of hli
mesa. In rough times and rough work mcu
* re necessarily cooks and therefore * boy

ADVAMJIXG THE 1MUCI2 OF COU.V.
Producers In Every Community Are to
UP OrKUiilsciI ,
CHICAGO , April 3. B , W. Snow , secre
tary , has Issued the following address to
the corn growers of America :
The corn convention , which met In Chicago
cage February 16 to consider the agi ( cul i-
tural situation In general and the Interest
of corn In particular , organized the American
maize propaganda. The central object ot the
organization Is an International effort to
permanently and legitimately advance the
price of America's greatest crop by promo
ting a larger use of Indian corn at homo and
abroad. Coming changes In dietary habits
of the -world make the present an opportune
time to advertise abroad the virtues atid
relative cheapness of corn as food. The offi
cers of the propiganda have already laid be.
fore congress the necessity for making e.a e.J.
comprehensive showing of corn and Its pro-
ucts at the Paris exposition of 1900 In such
a shape as to demonstrate practically Its
virtues as food. In order to sccuro this
recognition for corn we must have the active
backing of Individual corn growers. It pro
poses to follow up the beginning then made
by a continued effort under private auspices.
The organization also has a field for ac
tivity at home. It proposes to educate our
own people to a better appreciation of our
great crop. In addition it will bo alert to
represent the Interests of agriculture In gen '
eral and corn In particular In matters of
legislation and In urging effective efforts
on 'tho part of tbe government to combat
unjust restrictions upon American trade In
any and all foreign countries. In such mat
ters the pressure which such an organiza
tion can bring la .bear through its local
membership will be very great.
The organization Is In no sense a secret
order , but a plain business proposition. In
order to reach the highest possible effl.
ctency In the work1 undertaken U Is dcalred
to bave local branches established In every >
community where "King Corn" rules. No
expense will attach to these local branches ,
but raeh one established will glvo strength
to the central organization by enlisting
the active sympathy ot the corn producers.
It U dealrcd to have local farmers' clubs i !
of all kinds affiliate with us by constitut
ing themselves a local branch and where
no organization now exists Individual farm ,
ers are asked to unite In forming such a
local branch.
I desire to urge upon corn growers the
neceMlty of aiding In this bualnera effort
for tha general good of all and I will .ue
pleased to furnish necessary blanks and Information
formation to any who desire to enter
actively in too work by organizing local
brtocbct. I
