Now, it is not in my mind to condemn this view of education oi
to oppose it; but | do urge that we enlarge our views to include that
other idea, that education has for its aim a preparation for a life OF
comfort and honor in every walk of life. 1t is to furnish Our youth
with culture Of mind and heart that will make them noble men and
women, and with the necessary skill of hand that will make home a
place Of refinement and health, and the shop a place of intelligent
and remunerahve industry. 1t is to make all industry of cultivated
lie honorable, to encourage every young man and woman to seek
and to occupy the largest place of usefulness to which he is by
nature adapted, to avoid none as if it were mental, and to make home
life the center to which art, science and wealth make their final and
choicest contribution.
1t is not only that education should prepare. for a better living
but it should teach what a better living is. Next to living, the great
est problem of life is, what is good living? And the greatest obstacle
to a good system of education lies in the misconcepton of society
respecting the kind OF a living that is most worthy of our seeking
NO one can object that mans first effort is for bread for himself and
his children; and until this demand is satisfied it is useless to interest
him in anything else. But having bread, he should learn that the
delights of life do not increase with the accumulations of bread in
the forms of money and bonds. Our schools and our learned men
have also to learr, what the proper service of education is, and wha,
the final end OF its acquisitions in use. Explorers and searchers fol-
things new, whether it be for new continents, new laws of science
or new PHILOSOPHERS of life, are great contributors, and deserve great
honor, but these do not rank highest. They are but the forerunners
OF those who apply thing new to the better living OF the people those
VINO coonize the new worlds and establish governments of freedom
OF the oppressed; those who utilize science for the improvement o.
social conditions to make more people happier and better, and who
multiply happy homes with happy children.
Humanity has no use for cart for arts sake" for culture as a,
end IN ITSELF nor for a science that disappears with its votaries in the
realm OF the abstract. The supreme test Of educational values is.

BETTER INTERPRETATION OF LIVING DO THEY CIVEi

Practical Application Of Education
BY DAVID L. KIEHLE,
Professor of Pedagogy, University of Minnesota.

1E educating policy OF continental Europe has
been to improve the intelligence of the people
in order to make them more efficient in their
respective spheres of life, and thereby to increase
their usefulness to society above them, as well
as to add to their own happiness, but without
disturbing the traditional class distinctions as
they exist. In America the opposite idea has
largely prevailed; those in humber life have been
taught that education is the avenue of escape
from the sphere of life into which they have been
born, and with which the evils of life have been
associated. Under this impulse our educational
system has fostered a general migration from
domestic and industrial life. Our daughters are
headed away from the home freside, and are
strung along the way from the merchants coun,
ter and stenographer's table up to the practice

Keeping a Rooster Quiet.

An English artist recently was sum-
moned to appear in court for allowing
"a rooster to crow in the morning to
the annoyance of his neighbors. The
case was amicably settled. A London
newspaper thereupon printed the fol-
lowing: at is quite possible to keep
fowls and prevent them from crow
ing. All that is needed is slight
string over the neck and fastened to
the foot. 1t is the habit of chanticleer
to throw back his head when growing,
and he will not crow if prevented, is ne
may be, by the string from doing so.
The contrivance has the great merit
of infiicting no pain whatever. The
bird scarcely knows of the pressure
of the string until he tries to crow,
and harmless jerk brings him to or

RUIN is ENORMOUS.
Twenty Lives Lost and Property
Worth s1,5OO,OOO Destroyed by
the Forest Fires.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 16.--Twenty
lives have been lost and it is roughly
estimated that S1,50O,0O0 worth of
property has been destroyed during
the past week by forest fires in Oregon
and Washington. Many more people
are missing, but it will not be known
how many are dead until reports from
remote districts come in. The esti-
mate of the property loss does not in
clude standing timber, but covers saw
mills. houses, barns, shops, cordwood
and farm implements. Thousands of
acres of timber have been burned over,
but the destruction of great timber
has not been heavy. Relief is being
hurried from this city, Tacoma, Seattle
and Vancouver, Wash, to those who
have lost their homes and crops. The
districts where the greatest destruc-
tion occurred are Lents, Springwater
and Bridal Veil, in Oregon, and Fifty
Plain, Lewis River and Elma, Wash. In
all the places it is estimated there are
about 500 people without food and
shelter.

POISON FOUND IN POTATOES.
solnnine, 1t Is Called, ana 1t Causes
Illness and Sometimes Brings
On Death.

Potatoes sontain a poisonous aka.
loid known as solanine. Little of this
poison is found in the new potatoes,
but even fresh potatoes which have
grown above the surface of the soil
and have green skin are generally
known to be poisonous, says scien-
tific authority. When potatoes are
kept a long time they contain large
amount of this poison, and many cases
of serious poisoning have occurred in
late summer from eating old potatoes.
About ten years ago many soldiers in
the German army were i'll from an un-
known cause. They suffered with head
ache, collie, diarrhea, vomiting. weak
ness, and slight stupor, and in some
cases dilatation of the pupils. The
matter was investigated and it was dis
covered that the men had been eating
potatoes which had been kept for
long time in damp place until they
had begun to sprout. Chemical eX-
animation revealed the fact that these
potatoes contained "a times as much
solanine as is found in new potatoes.

COAL BEING MINED.
Some oolmerics in Panther Creek
valley Resume Operations
Under Heavy Guard.

Ta1naqua, Pa, Sept. 16.-Monday
morning the Greenwood colliery, sit
uated at the western end of the
Panther Creek valley, resumed oper-
ations. 1t is impossible to learn ex-
actly how many men are at work,
as the place is very heavily guarded
and the operators, the Doddal
Brothers, will give out no definite
statement. They say, however, that
they expect to wash about 300 tons
of coal day.
Monday the Lehigh Coal & Naviga-
tion company claims gains in the
Panther Creek valley. An official of
this company said that it was ex-
pected that the daily output from
the No. 4 and No. 12 collieries would
now be increased from 1,40O to 1900
tons day. The leaders of the mine
workers ridicule the claims of the
company. They say there are no
more men at work Monday than
there were last week.

patton of trouble occurring at some Of

Terrible Result of Explosion of Gas

mine of the Algoma Coal and Coke COM
pany by an explosion of gas and gum
powder Monday morning. Eleven bod
les have been taken from the mine, and
six more have been located, and will be
removed as soon as the mine clears a

escaped are all that were in the work.

The explosion is said to have been
caused by an accumulation of gas
catching on fire from the lamp of a
miner who was going to work, and this
in turn fired six kegs of blasting pow
der that had been stored back in the
mines. The explosion knocked down
all of the bratticss for a quarter of a
mile back towards the mine entrance.

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE needlessly Of
fensive illusions to Italy, Germany
and Great Britain made by NJ. Pelle-
tan, the marine minister, in speech
at Ajaccio, Corsica, and Monday in
a speech at BiZerta have caused con-
siderable surprise here and are gem
orally deprecated. The only explana-
tion offered by Frenchmen is that
NJ. Pelletan has forgotten that he is
now minister and that he has been
speaking as a journalist.
He said: "With Corsica and Tou-
lon we can hold the open door be-
tween the two halves of the Medit er-
ranean in spite of Malta and Gibral-
tar. Certainly do not desire a con-
tiict of peoples against England any
more than against Italy, but as we
do not know what others are doing
it is part of our duty to prepare
for the holy war; for the French
fatherland against it's enemies, who
ever they may be. Security hardly
exists any more for the civilized
world. At the end of the nineteenth
century, after the defeat of France
by the barbarianism of old Germany,
we saw an offensive return of the
law of brute force"

VOLTAGE OF LIGHTNING.
II Exceeds the Carrying Power of an
Electric Plant of 10000 Volts
Ten Times Over.

Few people have any understanding
of the disruptive power of a severe
bolt of lightning. The figures quoted
convey little, even when one is told
that at the present time the limit of
carrying power of an electric plant is
electricity at 10000 volts, one-tenth
of that of heavy lightning bolt, says
an electrical authority.
Perhaps truer conception is to be
gained from the story of an old Long
Island resident, who admits being
very fond of squirrel hunting, and
says: "In piece of clear woods near
where L lived several years ago was
an enormous white oak tree several
feet through at the stump, and spread
ing over half an acre of ground. Under
certain conditions 1 could always
count on finding fox squirrel in that
tree, and l knew every limb of it,
"One morning, after a tremendous
thunder storm, in which we all had no.
ticed mighty thunder bolt, visited
this tree. Only pile of broken brush
wood and thousands of little splinters
scattered all over the ground for the
distance of several hundred feet all
around marked where this giant of the
forest had stood. Some explosive
force had torn the roots out until there
was hole in the ground eight feet
deep and ten feet across.
"That one bolt of electricity had
torn that tree to pieces in a way that
ten woodsmen working an entire
week could not have accomplished.
