Education, Liberal and
Technical.

tinctlOn which too many overlook,
between liberal and a technical
education. The object of liberal
education is the mind itself that
is educated. Its aim is not 30
much to impart instruction on any
given subject as to develop that
minds capacity of receiving in
struction on any subject to broad
den it and deepen it and sharpen
it. Technical education, on the
other hand, has instruction for its
sole object. It aims to give the
student as much information as
possible. It is the difference be-
tween grinding an ak and using
it; between making a basket and
filling it; between training in the
quarters and fighting in the ring.
Where the mind is properly deve-
loped by a liberal education, tech
nical education can be acquired
easily and rapidly, whereas in the
absence of the former, the latter
is almost impossible.
We often hear colleges and COL
lege education sneered at in these
days. "Why," men say, "your
college-bred man cannot make his
own living" and it is true enough.
But he can learn to make his own
living If hs has protited by his
cole 7eeding, much more rap
idly and effectually, other things
being equal, than the man who
has not had the same advantage.
The real trouble with most col.
lege-bred men, is that they come
out of college at an age when
other young men, by a long ap'
premiership in the Office, the
store or the field, have already &C
quired the technical education ne
cessary for a successful career il
life; and imagining that they
know it all, having been to col
lege, they are unwilling to begil
at the bottom of tho ladder ant
thoroughly learn the calling b.
which they are to live. Still thei
liberal education is most valua
bic possession, even if they canno
eat it.
To give such an education, o
its rudiments, is the proper wor
of the ordinary school. Of cours
they must teach what will be o
use in after life, but always wit
the chief end in view of disciplir
ling the pupils mental power

A little child in fearful agony was found
on piece of property owned by the
Landers estate this afternoon. A boy with
whom he had been playing told some
people of the child's suffering, and he was
quickly recognized as Eddie, the two
year-old son of Captain Johnson OF
Roberts Landing.
A doctor was sent for, and Dr.. Rey-
nolds, who responded, saw at once that
the child had swallowed cal bolic acid and
proceeded to treat it accordingly.
Eddie's face and throat were fearfully
burned ami SO was the outside OF his face,
out it is stated tonight that he will re-
cover. The doctor saws The child swal-
lowed teaspoonful of the poison.
A search was made for the purpose of
finding out how the child got hold of the
bottle. 1t was found near where the lad
was discovered in agony, and was half-iull
wnen picked up. Little Eddie, although
too burned 10 speak, made them under
stand that he had found the bottle of
poison while playing.
There is no ciew to indicate who was
careless enough TO throw away such stuff
where children could get it. and there was
a regular indignation meeting among the
parents at San Leandro this evening.
No one believes that any one willingly
put the carbolc acid in the baby's way,
but there is general feeling that such
carelessness as throwing acid away is
almost criminal.
