Which Way are we Fducating?
To the careful observer and en
thusiast for a higher and higher
life ou the farm, there comes a
thought true and forcible,—are we
educating toward the farm or n
way from it? We look at our pri
mary schools, our high schools,
nud do we not seethe tendency al
most wholly agaiust the farm?
There is a remarkable develope-
meut and interest iu agricultural
education in Europe, where it is
common for agriculture to be
taught in every grade, from the
primary school through the col
lege. What is the tendency iu this
agricultural nation of ours? Too
often, we fear, away from the
farm. The common school recruits
the nendemy, the college, the uni
versity; but does it recruit the
agricultural and mechanical col
lege, or do what it ought to re
cruit the ranks of good farmers?
May we not hope the timo is near
at hand when agriculture will be

EPVV0RTH LEAGUE
CONFERENCE GOOD
Good Work Accomplished in a Year-
Credit Largely Due Its President.
The Epworth League Conference
held at Americas last week was
perhaps the best, ever held in
Georgia.
The success of the meeting was
largely due to the efforts of Mr.
E. P. Peabody, president of the
body. lie had a splendid program
prepared nnd it was carried
through without a hitch.
The conference was composed of
all the leagues in the State until
hist year, when they divided and
the South Georgia Conference met
for its first time in Americas.
Tho attendance nt Americas was
considered large, two hundred and
fifteen delegates being present.
A new constitution and new by
laws were adopted. The chief
change in them was that the
president of the conference may
he elected for morn than one term
This was made so that the confer
ence might show thoir anprecia-
tion of Mr. Peabody’s services.
He mis unanimously elected for
the second term.
The conference promised to
furnish the now hov's dormitory
at the Orphans Homo in Macon ;
for this purpose $500 in cash with
assurances for about $260 more
were raised during the year. Tho
league nt the First Methodist
church of this place raised $121.60,
the largest amount paid by any
league in the conference.
Miss Annie McDonald, matron
of (lie Home, led the services Sun
day afternoon. She said tho
leagues and Home Mission socie
ties of tho churches throughout
the conference chose one of the
orphans nnd provided its clothing
after being furnished with the
sizes nnd wants. At the close
of her talk she stated that thore,
were ninotceu chi id ron not pro
vided for, and two morn expocted
at tho Homo next day. Almost
before tho names could ho taken
down, nil twenty one wore provid-
ee for, and many leagues asked
for the next children admitted.
The Waycross district wns well
represented and led in all the re
ports to tho body. This splendid
showing was lurgely duo to tho
ellorts of Mrs. I). M. Clark, of
Jesup, the district secretary.

Mr. Editor;—I am thin day

tol city’s paper, tlm Dawson
"Weekly News." You will see
about limv tilings goon hero from
it, better Ilian I could write it,
nud also prices of provisions on
tlie market now. Compared to
what they were in 1808-01), 1000,-
'01, they are 100 per cent, cheaper,
hut wages ale 100 per cent, less
than then, too, so there is no re
lief to tlie consumer really.
Weather now is very mild and
snow is thawing fust. Another
month will see the river on tlie
flow once more, and by June 1st.
wo shall hear tlie steamboats’
w histles. You can well guess how
welcome after eight months of
monotonous ice. Olio gets so de
pressed by Spring that, it takes nil
tlie short four months’summer to
recover and get rendy for the next
winter.
Though I do not grumble nt
being here and enjoy tho hoaltli-
giving air, tho uucxcolled gran
deur of scenery and nature's arctic
wonders in the skies, and all the
mauy advantages of life here, tho
pleasantnesslof tlie work and all
else, yet I foel so stagnated in
mind from Hie monotony and
lonoly feeling enusod hy long
nights anil days and ever glisten
ing ice and snow, and being shut
out from all civilizing inllucncns
of quick mail and tho daily press
that I feel half dead more of ton
than not. Throe long years of it
tho sure prospect of a fourth is
enough and plenty, and if it he
God’s will, I shall surely endeavor
to get back to tho dear old south
land next year in the fall, if it lie
at all possible. I would Ira far
more content in charge of country
school with $200 or $800 a year,
than here with $2000.
New gold fields are being struck
nenr here every duy almost and
dozens are coming in from all
parts daily to stake claims. Last
Sunday it was Announced that a
new strike had been made on a
creek, fifty miles from hore, and
there was u regular stampede to
take, trom this iown ami every
where, You see a man lias to
stake in person, and then coino
back to town to record tho fact
before a Gold Commissioner and
pay $15 down for a year’s right to
mine. A claim in Canada is 250
hy 2(i00 feet. In Aluska it is 1870
by 000 feet. Iu Cunuda one has
to record before 17 duys after
staking. In Alaska one is allowed
00 days oil account of distances
from claims to record office.
Where tlie United has only about
five or six places to record, Canada
has an office at every field. Stak
ing consists in putting n post at
each corner of the claim. In Can-

a chance. In AJaska a man can
take the whole country if he likes.
In Canadn a man must work (or
have worked) his claim, and can
not sell, and must record every
year. Iu Alaska a man need not
work bis ground at all till he
