FOUNDATION OF PROGRESS
So long as a man is unable to
see his own faults, his short-com
ings and his weaknesses, there is
no probability of him mending his
ways or making any improvement.
That is the basis of all progress
and human achievement. When
we are satisfied with our condi
tions and our surroundings, and
can see no need of better things,
we make no progress. It is the
people who are dissatisfied with
existing conditions and can see
and feel the the need of better
things that are due the credit for
the world’s progress.
In this respect Dr. Stephen B.
Weeks, of the United States Bu
reau of Education, pays the peo
ple of Arkansas a very high com
pliment in a bulletin recently is
sued by the government. He
says:
“The people of Arkansas, what
ever shortcomings they may show,
have been thoroughly honest with
themselves; they have never tried
to deceive themselves; they are
not in the habit of claiming that
their school system is better than
it is, or is better than that of
other States; they have boldly and
honestly sought to know the true
situation, regardless of their rel
ative rank; they have never com
forted themselves with the flatter
ing unction that their system was
already the best that could be de
vised and therefore needed no im
provement. On the other hand,
their educational leaders have call
ed things by their true names; they
have recognized their shortcom
ings, their blunders, their failures,
their injnstice to themselves, and
with steadiness of purpose—some
times exceedinly slow, it is true,
but none the less sure—they have
sought to amend the errors of
earlier days and to lay broad and
deep the foundations of a school
system that shall grow and de
velop with the increasing strength
and power of the State.”
It is said that Hon. S. D. Camp
bell of Newport will probably be
an applicant for the appointment
as U. S. District Attorney for the
Eastern District of Arkansas when
the federal plums are passed
around to the Democrats after the
inauguration of Wilson. We don’t
know of a better man for the place
and we hope Mr. Campbell gets
the appointment.
The man who is contented to
float with the stream is always
finding himself at a lower level. It
is only the man who paddles and
paddles hard, that ever reaches
the Upper Country.—Southern Ag
ricult u ri s t ________
A Lawrence county man raised
8,000 bushels of rice this year from
120 acres of land, and sold the
entire crop, except some kept for
the home market, at $1 a bushel.
He says the cost of producing the
crop was about $20 an acre, leav
ing him $50 an acre profit. There
are several hundred acres of land
near Newark that should be pro
ducing $60 or $70 worth of rice
per acre every year, and thereby
making a handsome profit for
some one, instead of lying idle.
