miss CAREY'S DAY
Popular Garden Street School
Teacher in the Lead.
Vote For Central Falls Fav0rites
Was Rather Light Yesterday.
Closing Days Of the Contest Promise to Be
Exceedingly Lively.

Up to date about 5000 votes have been
cast for favorite teachers. From remarks
dropped by the workers for the various
contestants when they come to deposit
votes it is apparent that many packages
are being retained for the closing days of
the contest, which promise to be un-
usually lively. o ,.
The workers for the success of Miss
Carey, the most enthusiastic one probably
being Thomas A. O'Brien, rolled into the
TRIBUNE Office yesterday afternoon with
their visages aglow and large package of
votes for the popular teacher at the Gar
den street school. Ars
They left the inaugural editor with an
air of confidence that the large number left
would certainly place Miss Carey in the
lead. Other coupons came in for Miss
Carey before 8 p. m, with the result that
she takes first position today. a
The friends of the Central Falls teachers
are taking brief respite, but will proba-
bly, be heard from In day or two.

TALLY commercial study, not . one that ought to liberalrze the mind by re-
moving ignorance in regard to foreign countries, and creating a sense ofkn-
ship OF the whole human race.
Even In our higher seats Of learning the utra.practcal or technical
view Of the use OF education more or less prevails. In an excellent article
by Mr.. Irving Rabbit, In a recent number OF The Atlantic Monthly, we read
that pne OF the first things that struck NJ. Brunetiere on coming into con-
tact with our university life was the predomnance Of purely analytical
scholarships Rredominance which he attributes to an excessive imitation
of German models. He even agreed with the opinion expressed by one Of
the Harvard professors, that several Of our great universities are in danger
old humanistic ideal
"The humanistic ideal Is founded on the old truth which. in a manner,
We still profess to believe, that the life is more than meat, and the body
than raiment' According to that ideal, the business OF education is to en-
able a human being to enter on full possession of all his faculties, in order
that, so far as possible, he may be perfect as a human being. A man or wo-
man who has been trul, educated according to this ideal is not dependent
for his ,r her enjoyment Of life on coarsep pleasures or childish excncmcnts.
and the well trained physical organism that are not exhausted eyen with ad-
yancing years. The question which cducatiOnists havct to consider is whether
it is not possible, without sacrificing in any degree whatever the just claims
Of practical life, still to uphold and make manifest the higher conception Of
education which existed in past times, and which is still cherished wherever
liberal views Of life prevail If arithmetic, geography, grammar, the sci
ences, and languages are consciously used with Il view to intellectual and
moral results, that surely will not interfere with a subsequent practical
use OF the knowledge gained by the pursuit OF those studies. If we are not
mistaken, we zee indications of u growing feeling that education in Tho
higher sense to which we refer Is not democratic. That is a point on which
VIC are not prepared to pronounce an opinion; but certainly the education we
should desire for any one in whom VIC felt an interest would not be one
which left his whole hi cher nature out Of The account"
