Education and Crime.

Correspondence of the Democrat.
On the 9th of December, while
attending the Masonic Installation
exercises which were held in the
school building, / noticed, among
other wise and pertinent sentences
written on the blackboard by the
wide awake teacher to stimulate in
tellectual industry on the part OF the
pupils, this one; Educate, and you
stop crime" -The meaning, and, by
consequence, the truth Of this prop
osition hinges upon what is meant
by the word, Educate" IL educate
is confined or limited exclusively to
the training and developing Of the
purely intellectual faculties, should
most certainly and respectfully beg
leave TO differ. However, | believe
from my observation that the above
is the commonly received opinion.
The school teacher and the parent
both speak of the education of chill
dren when they mean nothing more
than teaching them to read, write
and cipher, also advanced training,
a classical training.
Man is not merely an intellectual
being, having power to anylize, de
termine the relation of subjects and
classify them, he is also moral be
ing. Man, because of his religious
instinct, is called religious ami
NAL" The training of the moral
nature is as certainly a part of any
system of education looking to the
highest interest of man as is purely
intellectual training. The intellect
ual training is necessary to make
scientists, statesmen, architects, DC,
&c, out after proper mental drill has
been given, sufficient amount OF
facts and experience acquired which
to operate, the mind brought TO a
high state of acuteness and activity,
still there may be but a villain, a
man without any REVENGE for God
and religion. Without reverence.
there can be no morality, and this
purely intellectual training fails to
implant IN the moral nature this We
ry essential part of any system Of
culture that takes in and supplies
the entire demands OF mans com
pleK nature.
| have said that man has "relig
oius instinct" by which ! mean that
he naturally is inclined to worship.
He may not and does not naturally
worship the christians God, but
still the fact remains that he wor-
ships. Find, will you, nation or a
tribe of people that have no sort Of
worship. The countless gods Of the
ancient Greek and Roman nations,
the bleeding sacrifices of the hea-
then, the Great Spirit among the
savage Indians, indeed all ranks of
people. tbe educated and the unedu-
Gated, the civilized and the savage
have some forms of worship. end
bear witness to what say. Hence
it is said that "man is religious
SQimal."

The Globe Democrat contends
that there can be no other construc-
ton put upon Blaine's declination
than that it Is real and final, while
many otter papers, and many of the
leading republicans, regard it as an
ingenious bid for the nomination.
1t seems there is some sort of bid,
a sort of "you can't do without me"
lying in the background. He por-
trays the success, the glorious
achievements of his party aud indi-
Gates course that he has previous
ly pointed out, as the one to be pur-
sued in order to future success. On
this account it is thought that he is
making an ingenious bid for the
nomination. The democrats would
be glad to have him nominated be.
cause he would be so easily beaten.

A NEW farmers association has
been organized in Scott and Sebas.
tan counties, to be known as the
Farmers cooperative Alliance of
the State of Arkansas" 1t starts
out with r. II. Mcconnell as presl-
dent and asserts itself to be entirely
non political. Among its declara
tons OF principles is the following
dts imperative demands are to visit
the homes where lacerated hearts
are bleeding; to assuage the suffer
ing of brother or sister; TO bury
the dead; care for the widows and
educate the orphans; to exercise
charity toward offenders; to construe
words and deeds In their most ia
vorable light, granting honesty OF
purpose and good intention to others,
and to protect the principles OF the
Farmers Co operative Alliance"
Thus it may be seen that the ALI
ance does not intend to engender i'll
will and stir up strife. 1t proposes
to let alone political and social ques
tions and endevor to promote 'peace
on earth and good will toward men. "
We see no reason why such an in
stituton should not be encouraged.

TnE Little Rock Press in a recent

strength to which they are justly en-.
titled Among the number is Pope
