PRCGESS OF
THE SOUTH.
The following facts ami figures
from the Manufacturer’s Record
forcefully indicate the progress of the
couth:
“Each setting sun sees the South
richer by over $3,000,000 in actual
wealth, hut even this is not more im
portant than tile accumulation of ex
perience in the utilization of our re
sources which is now in progress and
the awakening of the entire country
to the fact that in the south Is to
center the miglitiest industrial and
commercial forces of the world. This
section can duplicate the coal and
iron and steel industry of the north
and west; it can duplicate the cot
ton-spinning interests of the world:
it can duplicate the lumber and wood
working Ihtereuli of the cntlr* coun
try; It can duplicate the oil trade of
America. If not the world's; It can
continue to monopolize the world's'
cotton production; It can produce all |
the rhe needed in America, nearly
all the tobacco and much of the su
gar; It can duplicate all of the cit-1
rus fruit and trucking industry of
the country; it can double its pres
ent cereal crop 0f 800.000.000 bush- |
els. double and quadruple Its cot
ton crop, duplicate through Its great {
•vers and splendid harbors the
coastwise and foreign trade of the]
country. it can. and will, do all
these things, and even then not have
reached the limit of its develop
rnent."
THE SCHOOLBOY
FRATERNITIES.
Obviously I ho problem Is one of
most concern as affecting the public
schools. Those should be pure dem
ocracies where the youth of the na
tion Is trained t0 do Its part In the
larger democracy; but the boy fra
ternities unquestionably strikes a
blow i(| tho democratic intention of!
(lie schools. They have other evil
aspects but it is chiefly their hostility,
to th»> democracy of the public school
system which must Interest Hie state
;ik a whole. Tho fraternities are not
In the schools in any such sense that
they come under tho control of the
ant lim it i They are of the schools,
and this Is Jus t where plans to stamp
them out break down, .lui Isdirtton
m-h wun tno parents, apparently, ann
if they will not act the education 1
boards generally cannot.
There i« not much to be said in fa
\or 0f the schoolboy fraternities. Tin
boys put up a hot argument for them,
such as It is. but it Is utterly un
convincing except when it is made
by your own boy. In more ways titan

though American fathers lacked ■
good deal of that stiffness of back
bone which commands respect and
quite as often w-lns affection as do
sentimental indulgence and soft
