EDUCATION OF THE FUTURE.

The education of the past devoted its
attention exclusively'to the mind. The
education of the future is to include with
mental training all the relations Of the
body. The old system forgot that tacul'
ties of mind are but functions of the
BODY. The new must keep this constant.
ly in remembrance. The system of the
future is not wholly of the future. 1t is
already far advanced to its establishment:
The time has gone past when we could
say, as Herbert Spencer did twenty years
ago, that men take an interest in the
rearing of the offspring of all creatures
except themselves, and that the feeding
and training of sanimals are thought
worthy of the consideration of a gentle
man who would think it beneath him to
bestow q thought on the feeding and
training of human beings. The depend
ence of mind on body generally and the
importance of preserving health in the
young in order that they may benefit by
tuition, are now widely understood. 2
It is admitted 5that teachers and pa.
rents ought to know something of the
nature of the human economy and the
laws of health, and that schools should
be conducted on hygienic principles.
Vast Improvements have indeed been
effected in regard to the diet, clothing
and cleanliness of children, whether in
the nursery or the school-room, and the
provisions made for healthful exercise in
play. grounds, gymnasia and swimming
baths betoken an awakening to the truth
that "to be good animal" is the first
condition of success in life.
But Notwithstanding this marked ad.
vance iu educational policy, it must still
be alleged, says DR.. Creighton Brown, in
his Book of Health, that the relations OF
body and mind are very inadequately
understood by educators. Their conYer-
sion to muscular Christianity has been
effected more by the observation OF
cricketers aud oarsmen than by a conyic.
ton Of the intimacy of the union OF
mind with brain. "a 20
While believing thatEsound health is
necessary to sound thinking, they have
not yet grasped the principle that the
brain is the basis of the teachers opera
tious, that there is a constant parallelism
between the development Of the mental
faculties and its growth, and that lungs,
heart, liver, and kidneys-and, indeed,
every organ and tissue in the body-are
in constant communication with it, re.
fleet in it their good or evil fortune, and
are in turn affected by its veal and woe.

Washing the Air.

Those who complain of rainy weather
do not realize that not only does the
earth need washing, but also the air
which we breathe so many times day.
The effect of rain upon the air and the
contents of the rain have been made a
subject of examination by the meteorolo.
gical council of London during the past
two years. Three stations we're used for
collecting the rainfall--one at st. Bar
tholomew's hospital, another at Upper
Hamilton Terrace, in the Northwest por-
tion of London, and third at Hackney.
It was found the rain contained twice as
much impurity RS that which fell at the
suburban stations, and the impurities
gathered at all the stations we're in the
same proportion.
The chief impurities were found to be
sulphates and chloride, and it was discov-
erred that the rain caught at St. Bartho-
lomew's was always contaminated with
scot and disagreeable to the taste. The
summer rain is moreimpure than that OF
winter, and in the mixture of London
rain and SCOT trace of arsenic is found.
In summer the rain was shown to contain
larger quantity of sulphates than chic.
rides, which was supposed to be owing to
the decomposition of animal aud vegeta'
BILE matter during the warm months.
After the rain has been falling for some
time the impurities are found to diminish,
and the satisfaction with which we
breathe in the washed air after good
rainfall is AL evidence that our senses
bear spontaneous testimony to its purifi.

Just hold your breath now and listen,

Board of Examiners will give the Nor.
NAL School to Anderson this year. Judge
Murray is our member Of that Board

to decide that question in three minutes.

Charleston? After session oflaborious
and exhaustive school.room work the
teacher finds it more pleasant generally

the sea. Outside the consideration Of
health and comfort, board can be had at
much cheaper rates in Anderson than in
Charleston. But let it be held wherever
the. most good can be accomplished.

considerable extent by the School |?

that such a thing was. actually in exist.

It's nothing new for them. They have
operas, lectures and entertainments of 80
MANY kinds there that the exercises Of
the Normal School would attract very
little if any attention. Our opinion is
that much more can be accomplished by
holding the School in smaller town
one Just about the size of Anderson.

WORDS MIsUsED.

CURIOUS for strange, unusual, &C.
"Curious" is equivalent to inquisitiye,
and ought to be kept to that meaning.
It is very fashionable of late, however,
to use it in the sense of provoking inqui-
ry, or worthy to. be inquired into. "a
curious child finds curious flower, and
makes curious remark about it," 1t is
a pity to use q word three times in q
short sentence, in three different senses.
DESCRIPTION for kind, sort, &c.-A
description is a setting forth of the pecu.
liar qualities of an object, so that the
object may be recognized thereby. This
is very different thing from sort, or
kind, or class; and yet we sometimes
hear of persons or things of every de.
scriptiop, when the speaker clearly
meant to speak of persons or things OF
every class.
EXAMPLE for problem.-An example
in Arithmetic contains the solution of a
problem. as model for the pupils guild
ance. A problem contains work to be
done by the pupil. Many textbooks
commit thc mistake of calling all their
problems examples.
DECIMAL for fractional.-It is a great
pity that nearly all our text books in
Arithmetic call the figures on the right
of the "units' points" decimal figures, or
simply decimals, to distinguish them
from those on the left, which are deci-
NAL figures also. "Decimal" means re- re-
lated in some way to the. number l0.
The Arabic system, which we use, is is
called the decimal system, because unit
of each order is worth ten of the next
order on its right; and this law operates
exactly alike on both sides Of the point
1t is clearly absurd to select common
characteristic of two things to distinguish
one OF them from the other. Why not
cali the figures on the left of the point
integral, and those on the right fraction .
al? This would state the case OF each
lust as it is.- WILLIAMSON Naidd.

We are grateful to our friend, Prof. J..

We are grateful toiour friend, Prof J..
Avery Finger, of Charleston, for an in.
yitation to visit the Crafts School, OF
which he is principal. He promises to
show us around among all the free
schools of Charleston. That would be
delightful, and we think we could make
visit to the graded schools of Columbia
and the public schools of Charleston
profitable not only to ourself but to the
public schools of Anderson County. A
School Commissioner can not see too
much Of such things-he cannot be too
well posted about every thing pertaining
to his line of business-but here comes
the rub, and here the difficulty: School
Commissioners have to "shave close to
make ends meet" Were we getting.a a
salary that would warrant such trip,
friend -Finger's.inyitation would certain
ly be accepted, and we would spend a
week studying the excellencies of the
public schools of the city by the sea.

- Opposition to slavery WAS very gen
eral among enlightened Southerners fifty
or sixty years ago. The early anti slavery
sentiment in Virginia is well'known:
The planters of the upper Districts OF
South Carolina, held a convention in
1876 10 devise measures for putting an
end 10 the slave trade and for the aboli.
tim of slavery. The preamble and res
olutions passed by this convention were
as emphatic as any ever adopted by a
Northern abolition convention.

He Killed his Father

On the 22d of September, 1880, a far
mer of Springdale, Lafayette County,
Miss, was waylaid and shot through the
side. He managed to reach home and
lived about three days. In his ante NOR
TEN statement he charged the crime on
his son, Isaac Newton Goodwin. He
stated that after he vas shot his son
came up and tried to brain him, but that
by desperate resistance he prevented it.
Isaac N. Goodwin WAS arrested for MUIR
der, but in the face of this evidence was
discharged by the magistrate. He i'm.
mediately fled and went to Texas. His
wife followed him, but was forced by his
ill-treatment to return to her father for
protection. She subsequently, obtained a
divorce. Abont two years ago Goodwin
came to this County and lived with relsr
tives near Paris Postotiice, under the
assumed name of Milton Z. Goodwin.
Last October he married Miss Emua
Ezell Ia niece of Mr. A. G. Ezell,) WHO
is now left worse than a widow, aud is
soon to become mother. His wherea-
bouts recently became known to the
officials OF Lafayette Couity, aLu al
rangements were perfected for his ap-
prehension. On last Thursday night
Deputy Sheriff O. NJ. Gentry surprised
and captured him at his house near
Paris, and lodged him in Jail here.
Deputy Sheriff Shiye. Of Mississippi,
was en- route for this place when the
arrest was made. Goodwin is a man
past 81 years of age, with dark hair and
complexion, and an unprepossessing
countenance. The chain of evidence
against him is a strong one, but he never
,heless confidently asserts that he will be
able 10 establish his innocence. He will
be taken to Oxford, Miss, as soon as the
necessary requisitiou papers arrive, and
will be tried at the Court of Sessions,
which convenes at that place on Monday
next.-Spartanburg He.ald.

Disappointed Partisans.

1t is amusing to watch the course Of
the Republican journals on President
Cleveland $ determination to uphold
the Civil Service Law and the Tenure
of Office Act. They grumble snd com
plain because forsooth he does not
make "elean sweep" We are much
gratifed at the Democratic party. 1t
fully appreciates the situation and is
ppholding the hands Of Grover Cleve-
land in his work Of reform. From the
comparisons of the two lines now pur.
sued by the two parties, it is evident
that TIE true friends Of Civil Service
Reform are the Democrats. It was a
Democratic Senator who got up the
bill and it is Democratic President
who is living up to it. The chagrin Of
the Republicans is not due to ahy pat
riotic motives, but they hoped that
Cleveland would make a s'clean-sweep'
in order to make political capital. It's
q selfish motive and one unworthy of
Americans. Our good friends-tbe
Republicans have SO long asserted
that the Democratic party is very hun.
6 y and very thirsty, that they are sur
prised to see our party use its vietol V
SO sensibly and so patriotically. The
Democratic party was hungry and
thirsty. Hun cry for good government
and thirsty to driak at the fountain OF
governmental reform. The loaves and
fishes will be attended to later-all in
their own good time, and as of old they
will be sufficient to satisfy the multi
tude, which will be another great sur
prise still IN store for our Republican
brethren.
