WASHINGTON AND EDUCATION.
While the "father of his country.'
whose birthday we are again eelebrat-in-
was art a man of great seholar-
kin;.. he had a very clear and compre-
heiisive Idea of the function of popular
education in a nation where every citi-
zen is a sovereign.
Iu the lat analysis ignorance is the
root of social Ills. "My people have
gone into captivity because they have

prophet. Knowledge of truth in all
its fullness dissipate tlie foiocs of
darkness and make men free Indeed
end there can never be rempleto frecv
do.n without it.
In chbratiriK the uniiiver.-ary of
Washington's birthday we might draw
upon his life for nur.iy inspiring lea-
sons but iiossibly we e.i i call atten-
tion to no morn vital message than in
contained In his utterances with refer-
ence to the public ejucation. We
therefore quote as follows:
"Knowledge Is in every country the
' i-urest basis of public happiness."
Speech to congress January 8. 17'JO.
"Promote then as an obj'-ct of pri-
mary importance Institutions for the

drifs September IT lT'.'ti.

there is so ample a field for every mer-

"It (education) contributes to the se-
curity of a free constitution in various
ways: By convincing those who are
intrusted with the public administra-
tion that every valuable end of govern-
ment is auswered by the enllght

teaching the people . themselves to
know and value their own rights: to
di-scern and provide against invasions

pression and the necessary exemse of
lawful authority between burdens pro-r.-edinc
from a disregard to their con

inevitable exigencies of society; to dis-
criminate the spirit of liberty from Uia;

recoid of 2-8. " which went to Jerry
Moore of South Carolina. And it beats
it in two ways; for while the former
high yield cost the gr wing cen's

great yield at a cost of only 10.9 cents
a bushel. 1 his is n wonderful triumph j
And it may well be studied by cottou!

in the north. Where Is the future corn
belt to be heated anyhow?

COLONY HAD ITS DARK DAYS
Prosperous Sierra Leon Cava L'l
Promis of Being a Success Whit -
It Was Started.
The first settlement la Sierra Leooa
the prosperous British colony on the
west coa6t of Africa wa made In
17S6. At that period lndon swarmed
with free negroee living in poverty
and on the verge of starvation and Dr.
Siueathman's scheme for sending them
to Africa to found a colony was ac-
cepted as the best solution of the diffi-
culty. The first shipload of colonists
consisted of 400 negroes and sixty
whites the latter principally women
of bad character. Although land for the
eolony had been purchased from the
native king the Africaos were not
friendly and a hostile attack together
with the shlftlessness of the colonists.
almost brought the venture to ruin.
In 171 the survivors were removed to
a new settlement and in 1T93 the pop-
ulation of the colony was Increased by
the Introduction of 1.200 negroes from
Nova Scotia and the Bahamas. In
1794 the settlement was again trans-
ferred to Freetown now the capital of
the colony and the greatest seaport
on the west coast of Africa. In the
oriv rtuve the aovernment of the idle
blacks was no sinecure and Sydney
Smith remarked not without truin
that 3ierra L-eone always had two
itovernors one just srriving snd the
lust leavine. The soil of Sierra
I.eone is exceedingly fertile but few
white men sre able to live there.

Making the Best of a Pest.
A farmer in the parish of Maitland
K-m-a rerftiitv came across a
skunk's nest that had three tiny young I
ones in it. The liHle skunks were
only a day or two old. and Instead of
ruthlessly destroying them the farmer
nicked them up and carried tnera
home.
The family cat had been raising a lit-
ter of four kittens three of whom the
farmer had drowned and after a few
suspicious sniffs she consented to
adopt the little skunks in place of tbe
lost kittens. The skunks did not suck-
le lu quite the same way as the kit-
ten and it was interesting to watch
Tabby push and box them Into posi-
tion. She soon got them in excellent
order and pussy and her quaint fam-
ily afford lots of amusement for the
children of the neighborhood. The far-
mer Intends to make his find the nu
cleus of a skunk farm and when the
success of the fox farms of the mari-

the venture porflfable. Skunk la at
