F" The Ledger.
THE EDUCATIONAL IDEAL.

but in the germ Their greatness
suppressed on every side by bar
barIan n i9hbors, there had been
set mp on the distant heights an
Educational Ideal. Later this
ideal found realization in Socrates,
Plato and A 'is,u,le, Cicero and
Dsmestheues, Horace and Lucre-
thus. Every nation has likewise
had its ideal, often amounting to
little more than a dream.
In the 20.h century, so given
to ideals have we been, that we
have erected on every hilltop an
end to be attained, until grown
weary with failures we are read,
to exclaim with the preacher
"vanity of vani,ies, ali is vanity ="
Standing almost alone the educa>
tlonal ideal remains. 1T, With
the Christian faith, seems to be
the only enduring thing. 1t is
complex, vet simple of expression,
for, mark you, 1t is nothing more
nor less than this, the unfolding
of the human self 1T is a process
for whose preparation the mighty
drama of evolution has not been
counted too great, and now that
that drama has become in our
hands concise process we can
scarcely ovsrestimate its unique
significance In day of more
chlldlike faith it is no wonder the
old peiagogue standing in the
presence of such an issue should
have waited fer the working of
the spirit and listened to its utter.
ancc as 70 the oracle of God. We
should not be less revereuti4l TO
SO great cause. Are the people
OF Lancaster county ready to sac
rihcc lesser interest to this greater
interest If not, let us weigh
this subject we'll. Determine the
aim OF education and then turn
every effort to that end.
Though the old faiths have
partly passed away, there is
new faith no less Inspiring and no
less revered. 1t is the belief in
the essential sanity of the human
spirit. The unfolding of this
spirit constitutes the ideal educa-
tion.
1t is that which lifts the soul
from cropping IN darkness and ig-
norance to the light of ETHEREAL
truth and perfection 1t is the
business of the common school to
lay broud catholic foundations for
the successful conduct of life.
What we are utter is culture and
the power and perfection that
comes through culture. The end
in education should be the major
end, the development of man in
his entirety, with all his native
faculties. This may include good
citizenship, wise parenthood, lit
erary or technical skill, but it is
not any one of these things.
How often the parent goes to
the teacher and asks that his child
be taught this and that thing
perhaps it is the three R's-claim-
ing that this is all the child needs.
They would have the teacher cul
tivate the partial man. "Cram q
little knowledge into his head if
necessary by force of authority -
They would reduce education to
the fanatecies of conventional cor
rectness and make tho child, and
finally the full grown child, the
slave of "authority." Confined,
thus, within net work of narrow
ing ideas man becomes tame,

goods are quiet.
COTTON.
New York, Jan. 22-The cotton market
opened steady in tone with prices 2 to 5
points lower. and for time was dis
posed to resist weakness in the English
market and the influence of big port re-
ceipts. Wall Street was large buyer
of May and July and this support prompt
ed bulls 10 stand firmly by their cotton
and not follow their first desire to sell
out All went we'll for q time and the
market seemed in a fair position to
regain the early loss, as bear pressure
was not much of a factor. while the esti-
mate for tomorrow's Houston receipts
fell short of expectations. Liverpool
partially regained the early decline OF
3 to 3la points and sent a few buying or
ders TO this side. Yet beneath the sur
face. the local market seemed to be over
long ana 10 De entitled TO al SndTp ue-
cline under sheer weight of bales at
the Southern ports. Up to midday the
tone remained steady and prices did
not vary points from the opening bids.
May started at soc and stiffened up to
S11. al noon being sos bid. Then came
the New Orleans estimate for t2mor
rows receipts and rush of Southern in
terests to sell. Between $4,000 and 49,
900 bales are expected at the above Gulf
port, as compared with less than 5000
year ago. 1t was fear of tomorrows
Liverpool response TO the big receipts as
much as of the figures themselves, which
disturbed local holders and in the scram-
Bile TO unload, which occurred in the next
hour, Nav broke to 500 and July to $40.
Even during this further break, Wall
Street persistently bought large amounts
of the present crop options. Operations
We're very extensive, taking the day as
a whole with the market in the last
hour weak under active Philadelphia
selling and liquidation of a stop order
sort. The close was barely steady with
prices net to - points lower.
