Our readers who study the receipts of the A. M. A. as they appear every month in the MISSIONARY, will notice this month a frequent item, "Sale of Bullets." A good moral is pointed by what that phrase means. Atlanta, Ga., was, during the war, a fortified city. Sherman's army in its triumphant march to the sea occupied it. Some fighting was done in and around the city. The leaden missiles sunk into the earth-works and fell into the clayey soil, where they still remain in great numbers. Our Storrs school at Atlanta needed a kindergarten attachment. We had no money to appropriate for this worthy object, and so we said to the missionaries, We cannot help you, but perhaps you can interest friends to come to your relief. The plan of digging up these bullets and selling them was hit upon. An appeal was quietly made, and as a result there have been received $621.46. These bullets were once used by Uncle Sam's soldiers to help save the country; resurrected from the earth, they have been used a second time for the same purpose. When first used they represented the gospel of force; as now used they represent the gospel of love. Love will conquer, and in its conquest there will be neither pain nor death. We congratulate our Atlanta workers in so successfully turning these instruments of war into messengers of peace. * * * * * THE NEW EDUCATION IN THE NEW SOUTH. Hon. A. D. Mayo, that sterling friend of education, has prepared a paper with the above heading, embodying the results of his observations and experiences during the past five years, as he has journeyed through fifteen of the Southern States. He was most profoundly impressed with the dense ignorance of the region. Of the four million white and two million colored children and youth of school age, "not one-third can be said to be in any effective school." But he finds many things to encourage a hopeful outlook for the future. The people of the South are roused to see that the children must be educated. The native Southern stock of white people is good. The colored people show by the advancement made that they "are in nowise a discouraging material for the schoolmaster." Southern young women, daughters of the best families, are becoming school teachers. He sees in these facts omens of good. But he feels that the problem is too great for the South to solve alone. The North must help, and now more than ever is the time. He says:
