Practical Eduoatiop

10 the fond parent whose boy has passed
MS elementary schooling, the question of
practical education is q MON ntous one. and
lew suggestions, based on "reminiscences
OF some of the writer's struggles and "stum-
ohng'ol'cks' in life's battle. will, no doubt
interest the paternal reader. At tho ont
set' the principal consideration is the
parents own social position in life aud, bis
desire to finally sec the son at least as sue
cess!ull as he has been. The educational
course for any boy should be Planned on
these lines. The more certain n bow ia to
oe obliged in the future to create his own
is to be left in any comparatively strohs
business or financial position, the more
thoroughly shau'd he perfect his mind in
the higher and more theoretical branches.
OF course this general rule and cannot be
followed abs lutcly rs there are many ex-
ceptions.
There are boys cui out, o" course, TO be
Presidents and Senators, but it is pretty
good advice, think, to keep this little idea
out of your boys head, for if there is other
than ordinary ability In him It will develop
like spontaneous combustion, and you won't
have 10 do much planning for him. The
higher a mans education is carried the
more susceptible is his mind to that which
is ideal and unwor.dly, and therefore less
fitted for money maklug; hence a man who
aspires to knowledge of this kind should be-
n man of means.
A careful examination of list of twenty
millioniares showed that only one of them
had college education. The essential
characteristics of business man nre so diff
it is rare thing to see wealthy man bioh-
" educated. Of course we occasionally see
wealth and high degree of education COM
oined' hut even in these cases the know
ledge has been gained by contact with otber
men of learning and with the word.
The suggestion I would offer is that all
young men, when starting in life, strive 70
get that knowledge with which thew can
gain wealth, which, after all, is the princi-
pal thing we live for. The tendency now.o.
lays to teach boys geology. botany. rhetoric
philosophy, and the like, before thew can

Prepare for the Election.

We call special attention TO the card NJ
Mr.. John A. Faot. giving his reasons for
not wishing to be considered a candidate
Tor The office of Intcndapt, under the an
nouncement made last week.
We con ider Mr.. Fants reasons sound
and democratic. Heretofore tickets have
alm"st been forced upon the people Of tho
'o"n "y siA Or eight individuaIs, and very
douo otful methods adopted TO elect them.
ohder such circumstances the choice of the
people have not only hoon -oansidApaa
but made subservient to the interests Of n
few individuals.
We think the time has arrived when Ike
citizens at large should take the matter Of
nominating Town Council into their own
hands; and not only nominate, but deter
niue to elect their nominees. We know Of
no special issue to be inv olved in III. COM
ing election, except the general welfare of
the town. That, of course is, or should
he, the paramount obi ct il selccrlng the
town officials and if we are true TO orr
selves, as good citizens Of one Of the health
iest anu most attractive towns in all this
Piedmont region of country, We will see TO
1t that our town government shall be in the
control Of men who viii do all in their
power TO elevate its moral standard and
inspire wholesome spirit of enterprise
among her citizens.
The Marshalship aud erkship should
not be considered in making the nomina-
tions for Intendant and NarIeps. Feet

they will select gosd Marshal AMI a good

Governor was correct-will think with no
that there was no direct evidence from com.
