The rnfatInr Tendency Of Education.

The Initiating Tendency VI A~NeAS''N
The following from the London Spectator
is so sensibly and truthfully spoken that
we transfer it to our columns, In the nope
that it may do good in this country as
well as in England:
''NOw, we do not scruple to say this
that a Door man who can neither feau
nor write, but who is, nevertheless, up
right in heart and full of sympathy IOr
his fellow-men, whether rich or poor, has
in him far more of the elements OF
sound political Judgment than rich
man. who has taken his degree at one OF
the universities, but who is selfish and
exclusive. can by any possibility possess.
For most of the hOmely purposes OF
life-fOr most of the political pur-
poses of mere vOters-a warm heart ana
power of putting yourself in imagination
into the place of others, whether poor or
rich. is a far better contribution toward
sound Judgment than the full total OF any
little book knowledge that is picked up at
school and college. The bad effectt-We
believe the only bad effect-of education is
its initiating tendency, its tendency to turn
the educated into a clique or caste who
think of those who have no education as
the Pharisees thought of the ''accursed'
people who knew not the Law. Even
a little education is most valuable.

self airs with boy who learns only
English. And yet the knowledge of few
Latin words, at all events while 1t goes
no further, is absolutely without effect on
the conduct of life; though the smallest
excuse for giving ones self airs has
very injurious effect indeed
on the conduct of life. 1t

of history, geography, and even the use

some little good, so long as they are not
overrated. But to know them, and yet so
to mistake the Importance of knowing
them that it 'puffs up mans general
demeanor is very doubtful benefit in

that, on the whole, the effect of an average
university educatiOn-we do not mean
thorough one, which is sure to bring with
it a certain amount of humility, if not Of
directly enlarged sympathies-is to in
spire men with a very dangerous scOrn

often quite falsely thought of as cries due
to ignorance, though they may be really

l.. 4. Falligant
Miss viIIard,> Address Last Night.


The address by Miss Frances +. Willard
at che Wesley Monumental Church last
night was attended by small audience,
owing, no doubt, to the inclemency of the
weather. and was delivered in the lecture
room. the main auditorium not being
opened. The meeting was opened with
music and a brief prayer by the
pastor. Rev. &. G. y. MacDOrell. and
the speaker was introduced by Mrs.
Richard Webb. Miss Willard needs no in
PRODUCTION anywhere in the South, which
she has so earnestly defended against
an unreasonable prejudice. In behalf OF
temperance she has grandly used her high
position as the representative woman OF
the great movement To preach the gospel
OF good will TO all parts Of our great land.
She has declared there is no North. or
south. OF East. or West, but in the
schemes of the mercenary or the visions
at the willfully blind. Her ad-
dress last night was an appeal
i'm behalf of suffering humanity to aid IN
the suppression of the great vice OF intem-
perance. Ii is a matter of regret that the
attendance was so small. This Is the
fourth visit Of Miss Willard to the South.
She goes to Jacksonville. Fla. to-day to
organize the State movement Of the NO-
mans Christian Temperance Union there.

A Card of Thanks.

Editor Morning Nelos: You will please allow
me space in your valuable journal, to make a
few explanatory remarks in reference to my
position in the recent municipal election, as
well as to return thanks to those of my many
friends, who sought to elect me by their bal
lots, Notwithstanding my published declinatiOn
in a city paper. To those good solid friends
of mine, who so complimented me with fiat
tering vote, while it was generally known
that was no candidate, feel most grateful.
On the other hand, for some so -called tenders
of friendship, must say, "save me from my
friends" as some of them were so solicitOus
for my personal well being that they actually,
unsolicited and without my knowledge, incur
red the expense of having placards printed,
announcing that | was no candidate, and had
them consplcuously displayed throughout the
city. This course of action | condemn very
much, as do not approve of any such mode
for gaining nOtoriety. Now, am ever CRATE
full to my friends for any act of kindness, and
| am free to say, at the same time, that | have
no enemies to punish, therefore, if those most
interested friends of mine will send or bring
the bill to me, for the amount expended so
gratuitously on my behalf in the printing of
those placards, will be only too happy to re-
lieve them of any expenses they so unneces-
sariy incurred for their friend and fellow
citizen, JOHN SCHWARZ.

The Citv CoupciI and the asesqui."


Editor Morning NelcS: On the 18th OF
October last the City Council received a
communication from Mr.. VIM. :. Bogart,
Acting Secretary Georgia Historical So
ciety, in reference to a Sesqui-Centennial
celebration on the 18th of February, 1888,
of the settlement of Georgia, and asking
for cooperation. 1t was moved that the
communication be received as informal
ton, and that the Mayor appoint special
committee to confer with the committee
of the Georgia Historical Society, and to
render all aid possible, which was agreed
to.
On the 30th of October the delegates
from the various military companies and
civil societies of Savannah met, by invita-
ton, ''the joint committee of the Georgia
Historical Society and City Council"
General LawtOn was called to the
chair, the roll of delegates was called and
organization perfected. 4 Finance Com
mittee was appointed and other matters
essential to permanent organization
agreed upon, under the auspices, be 1t
borne i'm mind, of the '.jOint committee OF
the Georgia Historical Society and the
City COuncil,' with the evident approval
of the City Council, as no adverse criti-
any time i'm its proceedings. Now, what
did the City Council mean, if not material
aid towards the success of the celebra-
ton: And yet, when asked for pc
cuniary assistance by the General Com
mittee, the Council respectfully declines.
assigning reasons that would be deemed
contemplate in an individual who had by
words and actions held out hopes of ma
terial aid when needed. Why did not the
City Council when first approached exam
inc into its powers, and then have de-
clared them, and not have slumbered in
ignorance until this time, deluding the
General Committee and the citizens of Sa-
vannah with false hopes, not spoken, it is
true, but impressed by fallaciOus actions?
As to the illegality of an appropriation TO
help on the Centennial, there are two
opinions among lawyers on that point.
The transaction has not been credit
able one to either the intelligence or the
straightforward dealing of our late City
Fathers, and we hope the General Com
mittee will make another effort with the
new Board that is to succeed them.
