Columbus (Ga.,) EnquirerrSun. It is quite probable thut within the past four or five years the ques tion of school teaching lots been discussed more than within any pe riod of a dozen years prior to that time. Within the lust few weeks it has been dismissed at con siderable length right here in this community. All this discussion has a tendency for good. There has been an evolution in the manner ot instructing children, a&d from our point of view every innovation upon old methods have bcbn'an improve rnent. The people are rapidly adapting themselves to the changed condition of things. While great strides have been made in that di rection, a great deal more still re mains to be accomplished. And it is from the public schools of the country that much of this is to comp. A perfect school system established throughout the south would make it the greatest and grandest country on God’s green earth. It is surprisingly strange, yet none the less a truth, that many ob jections have been raised against the introduction of manual training in the public schools. The learned Professor Thomas Davidson has an article in the current issue of the Forum m which it is claimed that he meets and conclusively answers all these objections. We have not read the article in full, but the New York World contains extracts from it that are interesting. In referring to this the Wot Id says that to the plea that the state cannot with jus tice be asked to instruct children in the rudiments of arts or trades, he replies that, "if the state is to edu cate at all, it must not give to any the superfluous while any lack the necessary.’’ For a very large portion of our children manual training is one of the first of educa tional necessaries, and the professor takes the unassailable position that "tto state or community has a moral right to pay out money for the higher branches of education, such as are taught in our high schools and colleges, while any portion of the population requiring manual training is deprived of it.” la other words, the state has no right to teach one boy how to handle Greek roots and refuse to teach an other boy* how to handle a hammer. Professor Davidson believes that the state may and should undertake the whole business of education in cverv grade. But be holds that, if any community can not support both high schools and manual train ing schools, it is bound to give pre cedenec to the latter, on the princi ple of "the greatest good to the greatest number." The objection that the children are already overworked, Professor Davidson replies that this is not so as a rule : but where it is, “let us do away with what is nonsensical and hurtful in our present courses, and plenty of time will be left tor all the manual training that i> desirable.” It is high time that the course of public school instruction were made to conform to the practical needs of the pupils. The hand, the eye, the muscle and the judgment should be trained, as well as the memory. Put the "whole boy" and the entire girl to school. The Great Evangelist Penn Writes. Mr. A. Iv.

Washington, March 30.—The chemists of the department ot‘ agri culture under the direction of the commissioner, have for a year or more been investigating the extent and manner of footl adulteration practiced in tins country, and a re port covering several branches of the work is in progress of prepara tion. That portion relating to spices and condiments, prepared by Clif ford Richardson, is already comple ted. Mr. Richardson's investiga tions show that no other kinds of human food are adulterated to so great an extent. Of eight samples of ground cloves examined but two were pure. Others had suffered ex traction of their essential oils and had been adulterated by the addi tion of clove stems, alspice and husks of various kinds. Of eiglu samples o f cayenne pepper only one was pure. Of ten samples of mustard none were pure, unchanged must ard, though several had only suf fered the loss of their fixed oil. Others contained quantities of wheat flour, the spurious matter being in some cases two-thirds of the com pound. This made it necessary to add tamenic acid (harmless) to re store the mustard color. Ten sam ples of alspices were examined, eight of which were pure. Four samples of cassia were all pure. Of ten samples of ginger four were pure. Only one out of thirteen samples of black pepper was found to be what it purported to he A specimen sent from Baltimore to a man who had an army contract was almost entirely spurious. Cayenne pepper, black pc per husks and mustard bulls were used to give flavor and pungency, while the “body” was supplied by ground beans and rice, and the color by charcoal. Two samples of white pepper out of five were pure. Two samples of mace out of five were pure, and of three samples of nutmeg examined ail were pure. Undisputed Merit. The grate success of the Royal Bait ing Powder, is due to the extreme care exorcised by its manfacturers to make it entirely pure, uniform in quality, and of the highest leavening Power. All the scientific knowledge, care and skill, attained by a twenty years' practical experience, are con tributed toward this end, and no pharmaceutical preparation can be dispensed with a greater accuracy, precision and exactness. Every ar ticle used is absolutely pure. A number of chemists are employed to test the strength of each ingredient, so that its exact power and effect in combination with its eo-ingreai ents, is definitely known. [Nothing is trusted to ylmnce, and no person is employed in the preparation of the materials used or the manufac ture of the powder, who is notan ex pert in his particular branch of the buisness. Asa consequence, the Royal Baking Powder is of the high est grade of excellence, always pure, wholesome and uniform in quality. Each box is exactly like every other, and will retain its powers and produce the same and the highest leavening offtet in any climate, at any time. The Government Chem ists, after having analyzed all the principal brands in the market, in their reports placed the Royal Bak ing Powder at the head of tfie list for strength, purity’, and wholesome ness, and thousands of tests all over the country have further demonstra ted the fact that its qualities are. in every respect, unrivaled. The Need of a Good Collection Law. Albany News and Advertiser. When the Georgia legislature meet3 in July next there is nothing that it could do that would bo of more certain and lasting benefit to the people of the state than to en act a good straightforward collection law. Such a law would remove tho great barrier that now stands be tween the people of the state and foreign capital, and would not only make money easier to obtain, but would reduce the rate of interest. It is the man of limited means who has to borrow, and not the money lender, who stands most in need of a good, healthy collection law. The man who lias money to loan in Georgia can, with the exer cise of an abundance ot caution, find reasonably sate investment tor it at a high rate of interest. If lie loans it at ail he will, nine times out ot ten, exact usurious interest, tor the reason that, under the operation ot our de fective and uncertain collection sys tem, capital is timid and the de mands of the borrowing class are al ways in excess of tho supply’ of money’ that the limited number of lenders have on hand or are willing to invest in view of the uncertainties and delays of the law. A majority of tho farmers and buisness men of Georgia are money borrowers. Any law that would have a tendency to increase the sup ply of money and reduce the rate of interest would, therefore, be greatly to their benefit. A good collec tion law would accomplish this for them just as certainly’ as cause pro duces effect. Whenever it became known that the laws ot the state re quired the payment of just debts and made the debtor’s property liable for bis debt, then capital would come here for investment, and a man could borrow money to the extent of the value of his property, at a reas onable rate of interest. ♦ All io ScrupiHjj. Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111., say’s: “Having received so much benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my’ duty to let suffering hu manity’ know it. Have bad a run ning soro on my leg for eight years ; my doctors told me 1 would have to have the hone scraped or leg ampu tated. 1 used, instead, three botl'es ot Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well.” Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklen’s Arnica Salve at 25e. per box by’ Ponder & Hill. “Poorer as the Years Roil By/’ Savoyard, in a recent communiea to Louisville Courier Journal says: We have booms and booms in the south. We hear of the new south in the newspapers; we hear of it on the street, and 1 suppose there are booms in the sunny land, and I sup pose there is new south there. But the boom I want to see, and the new south that 1 hope to sec, have not arrived. The boom we hear of is for the many. It is for the capitalist not for the people. It is for the city, not the country’ —the protected man ufacturers, the ironmasters. The boom l want to see must spread itself over the cotton-field, the tobacco patch and acres of golden grain. Let it come to the farm house ar.d not tarry’ and perch itself upon tho smoke stacks of Birming ham and Chattanooga. When that boom comes the south will laugh as Sarah laughed and become the home', f America’s favored. For twenty long years the farmers of tiie south have been awaiting the advent of a Doom that would distribute prosperity, and during all that time the sun has made hisanaal round from the vernal equi nox to the summer solstice, from the summer soistiee to the autumnal equinox, from the autumnal equinox to the winter solstice, and from the winter solstice to the vernal equinox again, but no boom lias come to them. Their brethren of the northwest have been more fortunate, for the simple and only reason that their crops are sowed and reaped with the aid of labor-saving machinery, but no machine lias been invented to plant and gather a crop of tobacco: consequently' the burden that lias been imposed upon the southern planter, by which he pays tribute to the more favored manufacturer has kept him poor and is making Lirn poorer as llie years roll by.
