Educational ideas.

The Chicago Globe takes issue
with Mrs. Charles Henrotin, when
she says that 1.-THE Anglo Saxon
idea of education has been a
stunning Of the growth Of the in
dividual.' Our cotemporary
points to our own people as an
example Of what can be achieved
under this system Of education,
and says:
II is about time our would be

lean education means something
more than the veneer of manners
and the gloss of words; mere
than the babble of tongues and
the chatter Of isms, ologies and
ologists. 1t means the advance
ment of justice. liberty and
knowledge, and. above all. the
emancipation of American men
and women from the worship of
foreignism.
Anglo.Saxon education never
stunted a Shakespeare. a Milton
or a Tennyson; q Bacon, q Locke
or a Darwin, a Cromwell, a
Chatham or a Gladstone; a Frank
lin, Washington or Lincoln.
Anglo Saxon education is another
name for N; MOOD, progress and
freedom. TO it belong times
noblest works in literature,
philosophy and government.
And yet in Illinois and in other
States a system Of education is
completely crushed. The State
takes charge of the whole bust.

tions in life. There will be no

Chathams, Gladstones, Franklins
and Lincolns among the people

mill.
An educational system that
smashes individuality is hope
lessly in the wrong, and this is
precisely what is the matter with
our modern system. Mrs. Hen,

the Chicago paper is more than
half wrong.-Er.

Proust, inhis work on hygiefe,
regards as Utopian any attempt
to exterminate the germs of
cholera in India, but with this
pessimissic view DR.. TelyaIus
takes exception. He says 'at
the plague has been stamped ut
in the Nile delta, and he thinks
that similar or more energ tic
measures would be equally EN- b;
tual on the banks OF the Cam IS.
Formerly the fellaheen Of Egypt
Inferred their dead on the be ID

bodies were then washed out into
the stream during the annual
overflow of the river. and were
carried down to spread disease
throughout the delta. Since an
end has been put TO this custom,
the plague no longer harnesses
the country.
1t would doubtless be difficult
if not impossible, to restrain the
natives of India, inhabiting the
region of the Ganges, from cast
ing their dead into the waters
of the sacred streams; but the
author thinks this difficulty
might be obviated by compelling
the people to cremate their dead
and then throw the ashes on the
bosom Of the river. He would
also erdeavor to improve the
sanitary condition of the delta
by planting extensive eucalyptus
groves. as has been done on a
large scale in Algiers. In the
latter country there were a com
paratively few years ago, large
areas Of almost uninhabitable
marshes which are now settled
and extensively cultivated by a
numerous and Industrious popu
lation. The change has been eff
fected by drainage and the plant
ing of eucalyptus trees. The
same measures, the author be-
lieves, would result in transform
ing the delta of the Ganges, INFO

work would, of course, be enor-

Russian Officers Think the United States
 and Russia Will Possess 1t
SOME DAY.
Talk of Wild Scheme For Uniting thu Two Coustries--We May Some
 Dny be NeIghb0rs.

NEW YORK, July IT, Almost to unit the Russian officers a-ee sie- lighta5 itti aita. .he news that Russia will have permanent station here, though it is remarked by several, the information is in no wise a sur prise. From what is to be gleaned officers of Russian vessels regard the permanent maintenance of fleet of their own ships in Ameri- can waters as the most certain way to accentuate the feeling of com. radeship between the officera of the United States navy and that of Rus sia. The Russian officers now here, when in conversation with the United States officers, pointed out that En- gland Is the greatest enemy of the United States of America. They refer to history in their arguments to prove this assertion, and declare no late events have demonstrated the sincerity of the friendly regard on the part of the British government for that of the United States. Inasmuch as they declare England is the natural enemy of the United States and tue greatest enemy Russia possesses, then the United States of America and Russia are by the very nature of things bound to friendship against their common foe.. Russian officers here argue that from geographical reasons and the extent of the territory of the two countries the signs all point to Russia and the United States as finally possess ing the entire world. You have, " said one prominent officer in the Russian fleet within the last few days to reporter, Hyour wild West. We have our wild East. You are settling up and developing the wild West. We are doing likewise with our wild East. Soon as your wild West and our wild East will meet. The meeting be to your westward and our eastward. Who knows but some day our two tries may be neighbors and meet, save for the intervening At lantic to your eastward and our westward.'' An American off cer discussing the announcement proposed by the Russian government said, speaking for himself and know ing the opinion of a majority of his own particular coterie of brother officers, there existed, though per haps through a sense of gratitude alone, strong liking for the Rus sians, and the more the Russian and American officers were thrown to- gether the more they appeared to recognize the prevailing strong feel ing of comrades.
