" The New Yoik Sun editorial ! ) calls at tention to a significant southern movement as fallows : The News and Courier of Charleston , In South Carolina , hus provoked a discussion concerning the text books In United States hlbtory proper for use In southern schools , which Indicates a desho and n detcrmltm tlon to provide southern children with In- stiuctlon In the history of their couutrv that Khali be specially adapted to the prujiidlif-a of that part of the union The dt-nnnd e\ prestc'd Is for histories that shall treat the war of the rebellion from the southern point of view , and for those only. Tint Charleston jouinal started the dis cussion by "deploring the npp.ircn' Indiffer ence of our people to the ovll of allowIni ; perverted histories to bo emplojed In the education of our children " Its nit-iencc Is to the standard text books In l/nlti-d Stalra liUtory , which deal with the civil war In a national rather than n pup'ly sortlonal spirit. All such histories It would drl.-u out of southern brhools , tmbstilutlng for them distinctively southern histories by southern VMltcrs. and to that nul It Is seeking to stir up the Confederate , Veteran asjociatlom to a united effort to Iniluco legislators and school authorities to exclude the "obnoxious books" and replace them with books whose treatment of the rebellious attempt to bierJw up the American union is southern in tone and color. Hcprcbcntatlvcti of these associations how ever , write to the South Carolina paper that th"y need no such piovocatlon , but that the task of keeping alive the old accession spirit has been assumed by them of their own vo lition aiid vigorously performed. U seems that the United ConfederateVcteians' His torical committee- unanimously adopted a re port In May of last ) car "which describes tlu > evil fully and strongly , and urges that active striKj be taken for Its correction " The steps It urgia are Hie exclusion of the "objectionable hooks" In favor of "histories that are true and Just to both sides ' The H-port gives a list of eleven text books which It iccomniends "without hesitation" as "HUllablc for present , If not for perma nent , lite. " They are all by southern writ- ere exclusively It also announces with giat- Illcatlon that "other sihool hlatoilcs aio In pieparatlon by hoiithern authors , which glvo piomlse ot great excellence. " Finally. It calls upon the Veterans' associations to provide for carrying Into effect the recom mendations of this committee.

It Is a chetne to keep alive the spirit of the "lost cause , " and Intensify the sectionalism and provincialism of the south by Inculcating In each succeeding generation as It grows up , a sentiment that Is distinctively south ern , nnd therefore hostile to the feeling of nationality which Is csientlal to the perpe tuity of the republic. It Is accordingly ti wholly pernicious movement. Instead of persisting In Its steps backward from elvlllratlon , the old Confederate south , mole than any other part of the Amerlcin union , needs to get In line with the progress cJ clvlll/atlon.

Of students of dentistry there are 5,347 , an Increase of 1 19" In thn past ( ho > cars In the same tlmo the number of law stu dents has nearly doubled , . Dr Millet says tile probable leasou for this is In the fact that when joung iricn begin thcatiuh uf law they ar > ] not content with the old-fashioned dcsulto'-y ' Instiuctlnn of a private olllce.

The new dairy building is a two- story frnme structure , 40x41 feet U Is sit uated near the road running south of the faun , a short distance to the southeast of the other buildings. On the ground floor there Is a laigo room , 25x41 feet , with cement floor This Is the room that will be used for the practical dairy work In It are sev eral separators , churns , buttervvorkers an I other appliances , most of which have either been loaned or donated by the manufactur ers. thus saving a largo expense to the school. Opening off from this largo room are an he house , cooling room , ofllco and hall way , which includes all the lower floor. The second Door Is divided Into two large rooms , only one of which Is finished This one will bo used for a class room and the other ono for mill ; testing Tlio building Is flnlsbel throughout In ) ellow pine , and Is In every way admirably adapted to the purpose for which It Is to be used. Iho main object of the dairy school will bo to glvo to the students such practical In structions as will bo of benefit to them when they icturn to the farm.

Mr Abe gave some very Interesting particulars concerning his own country , and also of his Impressions of America lln stated that the average Jap felt very much bewildered upon first entering tlu > United States ; 1 1m customs , clothing and buildings of this country were so at variance with these In his own country According to | Japanrso methods those who read books j started nt the last page In the volume mid Instead of reading airoas the lines read , down , commencing with the Inner margin i In building a hous.i the Jap placed four up rights in position and completed the roof before ho began to erect the walls of his habitation. As to clothing , ho was of the opinion that the American modes were much the best IJvery Japincsc who sees for the first lime the trousers , coat and vest of the American Is Immediately Impressed with the fact that they allow greater freedom of movement than their own habiliments The American and Hurcpcan stjles of dress are fast becoming Introduced In Japan , and the speaker prophesied that the time waa near at hand when the far easiern Yankee would dress himself from the plates of New York ] haberdashers As to the progress made In oth r lines I Hev Mr. Abe said that within the cjcle of his own observation Japan had made wonder ful strtdis Previous to the Japan-China war thu majority of the people of the Island wcro content to bollevo themselves sultl- clcntly proficient In the arts and sciences without further effort to Improve thenm'lves The national pride , however , was aroused by the victory over the Celestials and then the fact becime evident that the country was in need ot improvement in order to pace with countries of the first class. When Rev Mr. Abe Itft his homo eight yeara ago there wcro but sixteen nil'cs ' of railroad , the telephone was unknown and the commerce with other nations was compara tively small. During his last visit , taken n short tlmo ago , ho found thousands of mllea of railroad completely grldlronlng the Island from coast to coast. Every largo city had Its telephone sjstem and Iho strldca made lu sanitation of the big centers wcro almost bcjond belief. In religious work there had also been much accomplished , eighty young men who had been educated In various colleges abroad , principally In America , cich had a largo parish , over which ho exercised a steadily Increasing poner for good Re ligious schools had been established and the joiing were being educated In them.
