The Value of a Mechanic.
The South has more raw mate
rial of a diversified character than I
any other portion of the globe, j
Besides, it grows every crop need- j
ed for the sustenance of man or j
beast. It stands at the opening l
doors of the world’s commerce,
and can supply at low rates al
most every necessity for the hu
man family. There never was such
a theatre for intelligent human en
deavor as the South presents. It
is the high duty of the state gov
ermnentsof the South, of its mun
icipalities and of its public spirit
ed citizens, to provide the means
to educate that portion of the
population that gives the great
est promise of the most fruitful
outcome to the country. A train
ed, educated mechanic is the
t most powerful factor in the prog
ress of nations. Such a man
thinks, provides for the unexpect
ed, multiplies his forces and dar
es the world to meet him. South
ern boys would make such leaders
if educated in industrial schools.
