EDUCATION IN ENGLAND.
Great Progress in Learning Has Bee
Made i'm the Last Fifty
Years.

But what of the mass of the people
| What is education, or what passes for
| such, doing for them? 1t is more than
so years since in England the first
| faint-hearted steps were taken by the
| state toward the instruction of its cit
| izens-a duty up to that time aban-
| doned to private enterprise and the
| strife of religious parties. 1t is nearly
| 80 years since the nation, in the educa-
| ton act of 1870, for the first time set its
hand to manage its own schools and in
augurated partially national system
of education. The schoolrsaster has
since been abroad throughout the
land with the result that al
most everyone can read and write,
and the entry his" or her mark" in
marriag" register. once almost the
rule, is now a rare exception.
BY slow degrees, through many fail
ures and mistakes. in spite of political
and theological obstruction, our edu-
cational authorities have evolved
system Of elementary instruction
which on paper leaves little to be de
sired. We have. in fact, the raw ma
teriaI for first rate system of ma
tional education. and all that is want
ed, in the words Of Il recent writer on
the subject, is 10 make il national and
to make it educational. How this is 10
be done We do not now inquire. BUTT
is worth while to ask what has been or
is being donc-what is the effect of
all this educational activity upon the
inteIlectua! tastes and recreafi3rs Of
the people?

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dltion OF the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
intiamed You have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hetring, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube be restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED for
ever; nine cases out OF ten are caused BY
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces

TRANSMISSION OF MALARIA.
How This Dread Disease of the Sol
diers I'm Cuba Is Trans
mItted.

The Madagascar campaign affords
| striking lesson as regards the i'm
portance of aerial transmission. To
facilitate the transportation of bag
gage into the interior of the island the
French government has supplied It's
troops with metallic wagonettes, so
constructed that they could be float
ed across streams. For one cause or
another it was soon found that they
could not be used, and the construc-
ton of a cross-cOuntry road was de
termined upon. The young soldiers
were put to the task, and bravely
and uncOmplainingly they worked
Soon, however, the sick list increased,
and, by the time the road was fin
ished. the mortality list had become
appalling. Why the military author
titles permitted this when natives could
be had TO do the work ii would be
difficult to explain.
To use the lesson taught by the
holocaust of victims is that under no
circumstances should unaccLimatized
men be employed TO work the soil.
Europeans must not attempt to
work the ground IL the intertro1ical
regions" writes Medical Director Maui
rel, of the French navy; 1t is death to
them, but it does not injure negroes
or other natives, who should be Sc
cured for this purpose"
The Importance Of aerial transmits
sion is further shown by DIT. MaureI's
personal observations. IN Africa he
had spent nights tramTing in the
marshes without suffering the least
inconvenience, while his assistants

Senator Thursion's View.

Washington, d. e., Nov. 25.-
Senator Thurston of Nebraska, after
long conference with the president
talked for publication on the policy
of holding the Philippines on the
prospects OF currency Legislation
and an extra session.
"The west seems to be almost
unanimously for the acquisition of
the Philippines" said Nr. Thurston.
''The sxigeneiss of war took our
flags there, and I don't think we
can or ought to shirk the manifest
duty that our victory brings US"
Senator Thurston indorses the
open door policy, and says there
will be no currency legislation in
the near future. He thinks the cleo
ton showed the silver issue to be
dead past all resurrection, unless
there should come, as now seems
impossible, another period of bust
ness depression. He believes there
will be no call for an extra session
in March.
