History of the Class of 190a. uary 6th. 6th with fh a T large attendance, Td and each week new pup, e eome The Dorm,tone, are full and still the principal receives letters from other, who are coming. The buildings are not large enough to accommodate the many there and many who wish to come. The school has the largest attendance since the organization, and it is thought that this term will be one of the most brilliant in the his tory of the institution. Now what is needed is money to erect suitable buildings, and if some one will help in this good work they will erect a monument more lasting than brass, and give the boys and girls an opportunity to develop their talent and be, useful men and women.

Books Are of Priceless value, But Poetic Frenzies Not Current At The Grocers. The World a School-Room. By Prof. Wm. P. Fleming. James Anthony Fronde, in his i l Essay on Edue .iion,” recalls that Lord Brougham once express ed the wish that he might live to see the time when every man m England would read Bacon, and that William Cobbett, comment ing upon the lord’s expressed wish, said that lie would himself be re j° iced to seethe day when every man in England would eat bacon, pai<Hor by deserving labor - When one sees so many r * es that witness to the ignorance of t!ieu ' owners, and so many em Pty larders that witness to em P t y stomachs, he is half-die posed to regard Lord Brougham as » visionary and William Cobbett as a practical man who, while may not have been subject to po efcic freQzie8< probably paid his grocery bills. There is still an erroneous no tion tlmt tIie reading of books furnishes the panacea for all the ills tliat fle8h is heir to * Time alone can full v re Y eal whether Mr. - Carnegie's millions are popular izill S the folI y- Certain it is that from a richl y endowed library to relief of the poverty--oppressed and ignorance—blinded mulfci tudes is a far stretch. The philo S0 P hic theories of books have not y et flu8hed the P allid cheek of want, or flashed a ray of hope through the chambers of a de s P airill S hearfc - The dreams of ^ ie bookish man are peopled with spirits and fairies the work-a-day world, with children crying for ^ read * And where there is gnaw °f appetite, there is little cra vin "f° r literature. No man of sense will decry the value of books—they are the treas uries of knowledge—but he may deprecate the folly of him who would over-burden himself with pearls and faint for lack of roast beef. Books are, at best, imper fect transcriptions of a world of truth and beauty and goodness. He is not necessarily a dolt who gets smut on his face at work in a shop. The world cares more for results of skill than for wrinkles of thought. It matters little what diplomas and certificates label a man to be, if he is somewhat and can do something. The man that thinks as he follows the furrow, toils at his trade, or “scrats at his bit o’ garden”, will, under the tu telage of Providence become edu cated beyond the comprehension of ' his companion whose mind, maybe blossoming rank with Greek roots and Latin stems, is nevertheless “out of joint” with the true philosophy of life in its practical phases and requirements. The question as to whether ev ery man should have a library de pends upon the use to which he would put it. It might be best to exchange it for family groceries. It would assuredly not be desira ble that he should so lose himself in it as to shut the gates of sense to things pertaining to “the com mon round, the trivial task .” The “book-worm” lives among the mere shadows of realities. He tramples the flowers under-foot as he goes to study botany; he walks unheeding beneath the stars as he ponders abstruse theories of as tronomy; he delves at political economy, and fails to pay his taxes ; he prys into the mysteries of social science, having a speaking acquaintance with next-door neighbor. He blind to the fact that there lessons not learned from printed pages—that there are “books in running brooks.” Education whether obtained at, college, from application to books, otherwise, or otherwhere, has nev er unfitted a person for the per formance of life’s duties, It is the lop-sided semblance of edu cation that does that. But it does happen that a world of common sense is sometimes exchanged tor imaginary benefits of books. There are many familiar illu.-dra of the fact that, “book-Iearn ing” leads away from the proba bility of success in every-day bus iness. When, for instance, we see a highly cultivated college profes sor “stick” his potatoes with bean we doubt his ever becoming a giant in the marts of trade, and, incidentally, we doubt his being a suitable instructor for our boy. When the professor, upon being reminded that he has vio Jated equestrian proprieties by saddling his horse hind-part be fore, retorts that he knows better than another in what direction he will journey, we are convinced that he is not destined to become a Napoleon of commerce, We question whether he earns his sal ary. An ex-slave, unable to draw a distinction between the alplia bet and the desert of Gobi, could teach liini a thousand things not dreamed of in his philosophy, and beat, him at trial of “hose-sense” two to one. The distinction between ability to descant learnedly about “Heat as a mode of motion” and ability to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before; is not necessarily favorable to the for mer. How helpless is the man that is insulated from the world by books. The first botany was writ ten in the flower-gardens and fields and forests. A thousand valumes lie open on every hill-side and in every woods. Thoreau, a famous French author, upon be ing asked why he did not improve his culture by travel and study abroad, replied that he found something new and wonderful every day about his humble cot tage at Walden Pond. Another distinguished author when re monstrated with for squandering so much of his valuable time wandering through woods and fields and along streams, said: I am studying the things of which books are made.” The first astronomy was written in the sky. The first music was that of the spheres. The first geology was written in the strata of the earth. Each tiny rock-em bedded shell contains, in brief, the history of a thousand years. The first psalms of praise were chanted by the rejoicing hills and the trees that clapped their hands for joy. The first love-poem was an immortelle that unfolded its pure petals to a caressing sun beam on some Ardath field. The first work of art was spread upon the canvas of ether when the god of down painted the emblem of morning. In the university of the world, books may help or hinder That depends.

He was one of the best, known and most, highly respected citizens of Dooly county and leaves a host of relatives and friends to mourn his death.
