The larger meaning of education is

The papers everywhere throughout
the civilized world note with regret the
death Saturday of Louis Pasteur, the
distinguished chemist and bacteriolo
gist: the world of science has suffered
a great loss. His discoveries were al.
most revolutionary in their nature, al
though in some respects he simply
demonstrated the existence of condi-
tiOns which had been indicated but not
ascertained. At the presented day,
thanks to the teachings OF NJ. Pasteur,
scientists know how to solve germ
problems. and new lines of investiga-
tion are opening up in every direction.
His inOeulation to prevent hydropho-
bia was the forerunner of all serum
treatments which occupy the attention
of the medical circles the world over.
This has been Pasteur's contribution
to his age, and even he who runs many
see that it is monumental in character.

The Dover Inder starts out in an
editorial on the Teachers Institute OF
Kent County by stating that the "The
Smyrna TIMES appears to lie somewhat
previous in stating that the Teachers
Institute this fall will be held in
Smyrna" It then continues 10 sav
that superintendent Tindal has not vet
definitely settled on a place. tba,
dover is the most desirable place
more central and more attractive TO
the average teacher" 1t does not ap-
pear that any ofthe teachers delegated
the editor to be their spokesman, and
we must assume that such commenda.
tions had their origin in the sanctum
of that paper.
We have nothing to say against the
capital: it may be all the Inder
claims for it in centrality, desirability
etc, and then measure very far short

time the Kent County Teachers In.
stitute was held there, Notwithstanding
it offered unusually fine evening at
fractions it was left for want of proper
patronage nearly 500 in debt, Prof.
Tindal decided to hold the next one
IN Smyrna, when it not only met its
own expenses but about made up to
che superintendent the losses incurred
in Dover the year before. Last year
all three of the cOuhtiss combining in

held in Dover.

facts does not any considerable part of
