EDUCATIONAL GHOSTS.

NO man to-day can practice any of the
higher arts to the best effect, unless he
knows the history of that art. Our life
becomes eXtemporized and fragmentary
unless each man, taking up his work in
the world, not merely attaches his work
to- the work of those who went before
him and begins where they left off, but
also knows something of the way in
which his art came to reach the point at
which he finds it, and so is able to make
the labor which he adds a part of one
consistent and intSlligible progress,
wrote Phillips Brooks in one of his
a6lest literary essays, reprinted in the
New England Magazine for May. We
want to know the blunders men have
made, that we may not make them over
again; we want to know the grounds of
the partial successes they have achieved,
That we may help to carry forward their
successes towards their full result. Let
me remind you what are some of the
values that belong to the study of the
history of education. First, there is the
great general value of experience. To
know what other men have done in the
department where you have been set TO
work VIII make it unnecessary that you
should go over again what they have al
ready done. The student of the history
of education finds, to his great surprise,
that many of the educational ideas of
his own time, which seem TO him all
fresh and new, were found out long ago.
were used awhile, and then were lost
again, only to be re-discovered at this
later day. A wise study of educational
history would have made this e-discov-
cry unnecessary, and so saved time and
strength. If every generation has to be
gin and prove over again that two times
two is four, what generation will ever
get beyond the proof that ten times ten
is one hundred? And then, again, to
know how different studies came to be
introduced would often throw great
light upon the values of those studies.
There can be no doubt that many studies
have been introduced legitimately, for
reasons. which were verv strong, but
which were temporary, and then have
remained like ghosts haunting our
schools long after their living necessity
had died away. 1t is always hard to get
any study out of our schools when it is
once in. Each teacher learning it as a
boy is naturally ready to teach it as
man. AS John Locke says, ut is no
wonder if those who make the fashion
suit 1T to what they have and not to what
their pupils want" Here surely is the
key to a great deal of the conservatism
and traditionalism of our teaching; and
the surest way to break it down and to
get rid of it would be such a wise study
of the history of education, by those who
are to teach, as should show them how
the studies which they find in school
came there, and so help them to Judge
those studies are to be dropped
as temporary necessities which have
been outgrOwn, or to be kept forever be-
cause they are forever useful.

CHANGES IN THE WOODY WEST.

CHANCES IN The WOOL1 WEST.
1t has not been many years since it
was considered that the man who crossed
the Missouri river to westward had en-
tered into the valley of the shadow, and
that whatever might happen to him, the
fault of its occurrence was his. "Road
agents." whatever those be, were sup
posed to loiter at every handy place in
the way, and the reckless conduct of the
red-shirted plainsmen was then sufficient
for many luri1 page of the dime novel
of our earlier days. Mr.. Beadle, who,
by the way, is now Congressman Beadle,
made millions by depicting in attractive
ly cheap form the manner of life in the
far West, and there was enough blood
and immortality in it to start a new
Sodom.
Only see what years have done. In
Kansas, where the bushwhacker held
high carnival and shot holes into the
persons who questioned his capacity to
drink the entire output of the whiskey
trust, the drinking or sale of liquor is
prohibited by statute. Kansas is robbed
of that which has advertised her in the
minds of countless millions of messen-
ger boys and hired men. The heel
shooting bad man of her literature is
thus given no chance to exist, for how
can bad man live where there is a
coarse and brutal constable ready to
yank him across town to the lookup
when he indicates that he even knows
where whiskey is to be obtained? Pro-
hibition has spoiled the literature of
Kansas.
And here is another change. How
our Young hearts beat the faster when
we read in the other days of the wild
gambling holes of the Indian Territory.
How much they lent to the history of
the West as studied in the lazy fields
and along the river banks when we ran
away from school. And now see what
has happened! An iconoclastic legisla-
ture in Oklahoma has passed law max
ing it an offense to even play at pro-
gressive euchre for rag baby as BOBBY
prize. Verify, the years are filed with
bitterness and memory grows sad.
And this is the wild and woody Westl
This is the land of which eastern people
read with dread. What has the East to
offer to balance our holy temples, in the
land of the sunhOwer and the sooner"
What about you, Congressman Beadle,
and your lurid histories, which sell for
five cents apiece, and are returnable at
any news stand? What are you going to
do now?
In truth, the land of the West is the
land of the truly good. We have ceased
to lynch people because they wear silk
hats. We are thoughtful and prudent,
and earnest and pure. We do not per-
init the sale of liquor; we do not permit
games of chance, and we regulate the
character of the clothing which the
women may wear. In every conceivable
respect morality is on the hump with us,
and we only wonder what the dime novel
man is going to do to earn his bread and
the butter which shall accompany it,

ALDERMANIC TIMBER.
A Good Selection-A Candidate Sug-
gested For Successor to
General Russ,

No better person could possibly be
selected to succeed General G.. W. Russ as
alderman of the Third ward than Charles
- King and | am therefore induced by
the following good and sufficient reasons
for suggesting him for that position:
First: because Mr.. King is a
native of this city. and well known
to all of our people and especially
and favorabIy TO her business men.
Second; because Mr.. King is in favor Of
and has always paid good wages TO his
'workmoa. and believes in working men
;Getrfng good wages. Third: because he
&; in favor of improvements Fourth:
because he is in favor OF improving his
own ward and can be relied on to work
indefatigably to that end. Fifth; because
he is not the candidate of any COM
bination and will not incur the OPP
position of any faction being popular
with all. Sixth: because Mr.. King is
active, progressive. liberal. and at the
same time conservative o. and is unQneS-
tlonably man who will look first after
the interests of his own ward. and next
after those of the city in general. All OF
these qualifications eminently tit him TO
be worthy successor of the justly
popular gentleman who is retiring from
the position. Mr. King is built of the
very best timber that COuld be selected
for alderman of the Third ward, and
have no doubt but that the voters OF
ward No. Three will agree with me on
election day.

The Roll Presented.

Yesterday County Assessor
Huth, Deputy Lindner, Mrs. Louis
HUH, Mrs. Max Lindner and Mrs.
II. a. HUH, spent the day in Aus
tin. The object of the assessors
visit was to present the assessment
roll of ReXar county, as approved
by the county com missiOners, to
the state comptroller, who was
well pleased, not only with the
total results, but the excellent
way in which the returns were
made.
The BeXar county assessment
rolls show an increase of $2,OOO,OOO,
mainly gained by the proper as
sessment of acreage property in
the city, and assessments not hith-
erto properly rated and assessed.
Tarrant cOunty's report shows a
deficit Of $I,5O0,0OO and a decrease
is general. There are yet thirty
counties to report assessments.

JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT.
Maria QuIntana Wants it Set Aside
And Has Entered SUIT.


On February 20, 1898, James Nc.
Donald filed suit in the Thirty.
seventh district court against c.
Shacklett and Maria Quintana, for
trespass to try title to a tract of
land known as lot 4 and part of lot
3, having a front of about thirty
five feet on the east side Of North
Laredo street. A judgment of de-
fault was rendered in favor of Nc
Donald.
Maria Quintana now complains
that a gross injustice was done her
by the Judgment rendered by the
court. She claims that she
was the owner in fee simple
of the property and that Mcdonald
had no title or claim thereto what
ever. She shows that the title of
the property was vested in Eugenio
Medina and that by a warranty
deed the property was convey
ed to her by Medina in .considera-
ton of $4,000 and of the assumption
of a $4,000 mortgage upon the pro-
perty.
On December y, 1892, the court
issued an order of sale to the
sheriff to sell the property of
Eugenio and wife. The sheriff in
obedience to the order, sold the
property of Maria Quintana as the
property of Eugenio Medina and
wife to James Mcdonald for 500.
The complainant AYERS that she
was not party to the suit of Jas.
Mcdonald against Eugenio Medi-
ma and wife, and was not in any
manner affected by the Judgment
rendered therein, and long before
the institution of that suit she pur,
chased the property from Eugenio
Medina in good faith.
Maria Quintana is a Mexican
woman and does not read nor I'M
derstand the English language. |
She asks that the judgment by de-
fault of March 10 be set aside and
reversed, and also prays for writ
of Injunction restraining James
Mcdonald from dispOsing of the
property until the title shall be
by the court.
