There is enough of 1 ich placer and latent quartz mining in Alas ka to employ 500,000 miters for the next quarter of a century. There is enough coal, copper, and other minerals to employ anoth er 500,000. But a purely mining population dres not build country hrmes. macadamized highways, anri rwuuitiful cities. Alaska must look to its seed growing soil for these things. It must look to the fertility of its plains to help suDDortits fast steam. ng rail wavs and to found a high civiliza tion for its hardy pioneers. What ground is there for the prophesy that this cold northern empire has in gestation three or four great States like Iowa, Minne sota, and Michigan ? It has three magnificent valleys, much of which is covered with lumber bearing forests of spruce, birch, poplar and cottonwood. All of its great interior has a splendid summer of continuous daylight. Nearly all kinds of tamperature zone vegetables flourish there. Prom actual figures the value of the product from truck farms around the city of Fairbanks last year was 50,000. Next year will show a big increase, as many more persons are going into the business. Wheat, oats, and bar ley have matured at Rampart, not far from the Arctic Circle, r- rom this point in the far north, down through all the valleys to the southern coast, whore the climate is tempered by the Japan cur rent, many of the field and gard en crops of the Northern States will grow with profit. The United States Government has distributed large quantities of farm and garden seed to set tlers in these valleys with excel lent results. At Copper Centre is a Government agricultural sta tion, where wheat, oats, and bar lev, and nearly all the garden vegetables, grow to wonderful nnr faction. 1 have seen vast areas of blue grass equal in qual lty and as luxuriant as that in Kentucky. Central Alaska must attract the stockgrower and farm er as soon as the railroad gets there. The next great home stead rush on this continent will oe to its plains and valleys. Once it is opened to the sea it will grow faster than Northwestern Oana da. for here is room for 500,000 prosperous farms and homes un der the American flag From "Alaska's Railroad Develop ment," by Frederick H. Chase, m the American Review of Re views for December. Be Up to Date or Fall. A physician tells me that he goes through his medical library every year aud throws out a lot of books which hav-i become use Jess to him because the new, up-to-date, the more progressive, are pushing out the old. We all know that some of the scientific books published are useless a year after they appear in print. There never was a time in the history of the world when the new in every line of endeavor crowded out the old as it does to day. If you examine your business thoroughly you will probably find old-fogy methods, obsolete ideas, and cumbersome ways of doing things; a lot of red tape in your method. Remember that nothing else is improving faster than busiuess methods. If yon are keeping books as they were kept a quar ter of a century ago, it you are using the same business system, you will find that you are way be bind the times. From Success MsfMtoe. (Continued from first page-) noon was spent by Professors Gordinier and Deatrick the for mer discussing the "The Rule of Three" and the latter, "What Reading Is." Both were practi cal, and only lack tf space pre vents our giving the talks in de tail, Tuesday Evening. The entertainment given by the Mau le Willis Company tn the Court House, was one of the best ever given here. As an imper sonator and i eciter Maude has no superiors, and the violin solo by Miss Townsend were well worth the price of admission, if nothing else had been given. Wednesday Morning. The devotional exercises Wed uesday morning were conducted by Rev. C. W. Bryner, jf the M. E. church. The following report of the committee on Professional Read ing was read and adopted; Unsolved. That we. the committee on Professional Heading, recommend to the teacher s of Fulton county the adoption of the following books, namely, "The Educational Process,' and TSWSlnf a Country School. Resolved, That, since the object of our Reading Course is to bring about a class of professional teachers, that oir County Superintendant has the right to examine teachers in the above named books at his next examination. Resolved, That, since each teacher is expected to peruse carefully, at least one or more educational pa pers, we recommend that the teach ers of Fulton County become subscri bers to "Educational Foundation."

Among the addresses given Wednesday morning was one on Mythology, by Dr. Gordinier He said in part : "Mythology, as I understand it, arose in answer to a question. Away back in some distant age, man asked himself these three Questions : Whence came I whither am 1 going? and what are the causes of the things 1 see in nature? The educator takes advantage of this natural curiosi ty as the basis of thought. Myth ology was the first great inven tion of the human mind formed in answer to the question "What?" All people like to ask these questions what? when? and why ? Children are full of these questions they stick out in all directions. The early Ath enian, looking about himself, asks the question, what causes the sun to pass across the sky and darkness to follow ? What gives to the trees and the flowers their beautiful hues, and as for myself, who gives me my physical being? Who gives me pain and suffering and death ? and the heathen Greek brought to his aid imagination. The Greek was a beauty loving man. He loved beauty in all of its forms. Whatever power he did not have over nature, he as cribed that po ver so that when wo boil it right down, we find that the gods and goddesses were invented to answer the question, "How?" The king on earth had a queen; so Juno was invented as the queen. He thought of the great waves, and knowing that he had no control over them, he invented Neptune, the God of the storms. Then, there must be some God of war; so he invented Mars as the god of war. On earth, the king and all ol his courts had to have a messenger; so he invented Mercury, with his winged caps flying back and forth. Then, when the gratvol cano was in eruption, he said that Jupiter was blowing his bellows These gods and goddesses lived very much the same as we do to day; they had their quarrels; and at one time, Vulcan, the son of Jupiter and Juno, interfered in one of these quarrels, and Jupi ter picked him up and threw him out of the Heavens, and after fall ing all day, dropped on the Ae gean Isle. This Isle was ever after held sacred. As time went on, the number of gods aud goddesses increased, and often we Und them in threes the three Kates the three Graces, the three Beauties, &c. Later on, we had the nymphs the sea nymphs, the water nymphs, and the wood nymphs. Sacrifices were offered to them because they wanted thulr health. Tbous nuds of animals were sacrificed each yearonly a small part of which was burnt on the altars tad the rsst oi wbtob was used for food. On Venus the goddess of love, no blood was ever shed, and only offerings of flowers and per fu in os were ' offered. The question comes up, did they be lieve in gods and goddesses; and I suppose they did, but as time went on and man began to think more for himself, there came the age of doubt. The middle class believed uto some extent and the upper classes affected to believe it. It is the same way with the great Greeks and Romans. It is hard to believe that Caesar be lieved in the gods and yet he did. We find Socrates openly express ing his disbelief in them. So crates, Plato and Anatotle af fected the belief in these gods, yet it did not receive its death blow until somewhat later. A great many of these myths might, be interesting but we need not go on. In addition to the address of Dr. Gordinier, addresses were made by Prof. Holsopple and Dr. Deatrick. Wednesday Afternoon. The following is part of what Dr. Deatrick said in an address on the ' Second Stage in Teach ing to Read." "Enthusiasm begets enthusi asm" was used as the basi9 of this discussion. We teachers should be very, very careful to note that the child reproduces exactly what we give to the child Unless you have thought about this, you will be surprised to find that the child gets nothing but absolute nonsense from what we eive him. We must be careful when we introduce new words to him. As I said this morning, there are two stages in teaching to read. In the first stage, the chi'd merely associates the symbol of thought with the thought with which he is already lamillar. He is shown the symbol on the blackboard, and he is taught that that symbol is the same as the symbol of the sound with which he is perfectly familiar. The child knows the spoken word; he can pronounce it; he uses it in conversation or, at least, under stands it when it is spoken to him but he does not know that those in convention in his race have agreed upon that. Now, we come to the second stage which is practically this i It is not pos sible for me to tell you when the child passes from the one stage to the other. The mind works with the brain; the brain moves the muscles which are the organs of the mind. Now we teachers are not enough of mind readers in that sense. Sometimes just a little quiver in the voice, sometimes a move meu in the face, will indicate to observant teacher that the child does not understand the words which he uses. Then it is nec essary to spend one or two weeks, if necessary, for him to master those words In the second stage, the child is taught to use new words of which pre viously he knew nothing -either as to their form or content. He comes upon words that were not known before, either as m syllables or sounds or the meaninc which they Intend to set forth. There are two kinds of aim or purpose always before the worker, and what are these two kinds of alms? They are known as the ultimate aim or the immediate aim. Now, that teach er is best who has the best knowledge of ultimate aims and who always has in view the ultimate purpose "Enthusiasm begets enthusiasm. So our immediate aim is to get the pu pil to Interpret, under the guidance of the teacher, what was previously uu known as to the form and context. You must remember that these two stages are not separated by a line, they are somewhat like the shingles on a roof, they overlap." NOTES. Of the eighty-two teachers in the county, forty-six are female and thirty-six male. Ayr town ship has but one male teacher and eight female teachers, while rbompson employs but one fe male, and six male teachers. The singing in the institute this week is unusually good. Miss Gertrude 3ipes is the pianist, and Prof Yoder is the vocal instruc tor, and both are exceptionally fine in their line. Prof. Shaffer, of the Tri-State Business College, Cumberland, Md., was here as usual to give a free scholarship to the teacher receiving the most votes.
