A Crowing Evil.
There is a growing evil in the if meu would only give to the
schools of our country to advance living some of that which they

other words, there seems to be a fcrent world this would be'
disposition to cram. When we 1 Even a little of that which is
find children working in frac- sculpercd on the cold marble,
tions that cannot repeat the
multiplication tables, and hear of
them studying grammar before
they know the proper pronuncia-
tion of words; when we find them
working problems in algebra be-
fore they know thoroughly their
weights meauure tables; it is
clear that there is something
wrong in our educational system.
It should be remembered that a
I very large proportion of the
[children never get beyond the
public school, and the average age
of quitting school is about 16
years.
We should seek to have them
perfect in, as they say of old,
the three "It's"—reading, Yit-
ing and 'rithmetic as these are
the essentials, or rather, the
foundation for further and high

lips, have made many a one hap-:
pv for life. One of the super-
stitions of the >*eneca Indian is,
that they se"d their love b>' a
bird to their dead ones. When
a muiden dies, they imprison >* *
bird until it first begins to sin;;.
Then tliev load it with kisses
and caresses and set it at liberty
over the crave of the maiden wli.i
had died, believing that it will
not close its eyes nor fold its
wings until it has flown to the
spirit land and deliverd its pr>-

between the two oceans we
raise one-fifth of the world s
wh^at. four-fifths of its corn,
one-fourth of its oats and four-
fifth ? of its cotton. This harvest
is the foundation of our prosperi-
ty. Agriculture this year will
add about $4,000,000,000 to the
country's wealth, and foreign
customers will pay us not far
from $900,000,0-JO lor our agri-
cultural products, shipped to
them over the sea. All the gold
in America—the greatest hoard
of the yellow metal ever gather-
ed in any country—could not buy
one year's harvest of our corn
and wheat. To buy one season's
wheat crop would take all the
gold mined in this country in six
years. In the past seven years
all the gold mines have only pro-
duced eavugii to buy one year's
yield of our six leading cereals.

child is in a position to pa« to
higher schools and higher
branches of education, tho.ough
knowledge of these things will
be a great saving to them; and
to those who have no such oppor-
tunity they will be a fitting edu-
cation to enable them to transact
the ordinary business eneoun
tered in life.

By the time this issue of the
Sentinel reaches it* readers the
great battle of ballots will have
been fought and won, as we write
this just one day before the
election day. Both the two
dominate, political parties are
claiming to be the party for the
people, and both profess to have
hope of being put in national
control; but now before either
party is honored by the endorse-
ment of the people, we as in- j
dividual^ and as journalists, are j
willing to bow in submission to
the will of the people and will j
strive strive no matter which
party is successful to continue I
good citizens. We should re-;
member that should either Roose-
velt or Parker be election he is
only the exponent; the figure-
head of the government, for four
years. The government is itself, j
tnc best we have any knowledge
of, remains the heritage of the
American people. The impor-
tance of the presidential oflicer
is not to be questioned, yet in
this dav of constitutional limita-
tion, the President, even if a
viscious man, could not destroy 1
our institutions. Let us as pa- j
triots who love our country; as
philanthopiats whose affections
go out to all suffering mankind
as citizens of this greatest re-
public, aquiesce and submit not
to the imperial dictates of a
conqueror, but to the calm judge j

An exchange referring to the
recent rains says:
Backward roll backward. 0.
clouds, in the sky; give us a
touch of the old-fashioned dry.
The crops are now floating, the
earth is awash, bullheads are
feasting on turnips and squash.
The sun is seen rarely, the moon
doesn t beam- this damp wet
weather s worse t 'twould seem.
The beet from its home is jerked
hence by the flood, where once
was alfalfa is an ocean of mud.
Men wear hip waders, the wom-
en must uwim while children
ai.d cats perch alike on a limb.
Like sea-kelp (he cornstalks
float with the tide; spring chick-
ens will never, no never, bo
fried. Cows moo sadly from
the flood-furrowed hills; min-
nows drown clinging to big
j fishes' gills. The straight, nar-
! row trail is obstructed by slime,
! and methinks, the fires of per-
dition are quenched by this
i time."

Alabaman's First Introduction to the

A mar. was discovered In Coosa

never seen the American llag. What
la more, he had not the least percep-
tion of what It meant and waa much

der Franklin W. Reed, was encamped
In the woods beside the rocd. A
lurue liag tied to a sapling pine an-
nounced the site as a government
camp. One evening a little old man
came down the road driving a yoke
of steers and stopped to Inquire
whether the party would like to buy
some pork. He got out of his csrt,
sat down on a stump and after a mo-
ment's conversation his eye caught
sight of the Aug ou the sapling He
looked at It In a i <^zled way, then
asked what it whs Ihe men thought
at first he was joking, but it was soon
apparent tha question was in good
faith.

Haven't you ever seen the Hag be-

No, he had never seen a flag of any
kind beiore. He had heard thero
were such things, and once he had
seen a picture of a flag on a poster,
but that was a long time ago. and ha i
had almost forgotten It. He had lived :
In the woods all his life and had
never been more than IS miles from !

did not know how to read or write,
