THE LANDER MURDER.
Further Particulars of the Tragedy Near Bat
tie Mountain.

The sheepherder who was fatally stab
bed at the Bailey goat ranch, eighteen
miles south of Battle Mountain, last Tues
day, was Swiss named Charlie Leon.
A Basque herder named Silbestre Au-
tenechea did the stabbing. The Central
Nevadan gives the following particulars
of the affray
The two men, 1t seems, have not been
on the best of terms for some time past,
and during the last few days had fre-
quent quarrels. Monday night they had
some words and finally came to blows
and were separated by Frank Capdeville.
That night before Leon and Aurteuechea
retired, they made up friends and con-
versed together as though they had neve
had any trouble. The next morning
CTuesday) it is said that Leon went out
of the house to see the goats, and on re-
turning was about to wash when Aurten-
echea attacked him with knife. We are
unable to state whether the men had any
words previous to the cutting or not
The Basque stabbed Leon in the abdo-
men, making a frightful cash. The
wounded man gave a scream and start
ed to run, followed by his assailant, who
stabbed again and again. The last stab
was a deep one just below the left
shoulder blade. lie wound is very jag
ged, which no doubt was caused by the
blade of the kniIe being turned in. He
also received severe cut several inches
In length on the point of the left shoulder
The knife with which the cutting was
done is an ordinary pocket knife, such
as is generally used by stockmen. The
blade was three inches In length.

The Reg. Gen. Report for

Nevertheless it has been shown
that suicide increases in all coun-

and writing increases.

Mr.. Albert Leifingwell, NJ. D.,
in his work ON LEGITIMACY, p.
36, says:
Districts or countries where a
high standard of elementary edu-
cations prevails, do not appear to
maintain any marked pre-emin-
ence of morals above their more
ignorant neighbors. If the
theory were true which ascribes u
moral influence to secular learn
ing, then in every land where the
ability to read and write is most
widely possessed, We should ex-
pect to find II decreased rate of
illegitimacy as compared with
nations where popular education
has made no Roadway. But the
facts generally are most abso-
lutely opposed to this hypothesis.
If we study the map of Europe,
we find that many countries
where popular education is widely
diffused among all classes, such
as Denmark, Norway and Sweden,
Prussia, Saxony and Scotland,
show high rate of illegitimacy,
while in some others, such as
Russia and Ireland, the rate il

ed skill and taste, have not made
better citizens, have not accelera-
ted the growth of sobriety and
public morality. Whether or not
this view of efficiency of the edu-
cation which the public schools
have been doing is correct, the
article is interesting as another
indication that some thoughtful
writers are beginning to see that
too great expectations have been
laid in the last half century on
mere schooling as means of So
cial betterment.
1t would be easy to multiply
examples, and produce thinkers,
physicians and educators who
find reasons for dissension from
ordinary school methods. My
only surprise is that in the course
of fairly extensive reading, it
was comparatively late before 1
became aware of the existence of
people SO opposed to established
usage; who doubted that educa-
ton was entirely necessary; who
went so far as to call time spent
in school wasted; perhaps even as
to hold that our educational mill
crushed not only individuality,
but sturdy manhood.ss
Why Are People Dissatisfiedp
TO me, it seems as if dissatis-
faction has crept in for two rea-
sons. In the first place our edu-
cational methods does not seem
to have accomplished anything
i'll the way of improving the
moral standard of the human
race considered as a whole. In
the second, the teacher does not
seem to have trained the mind.
a number of i'll assorted facts
and totally irrelevant branches of
learning have been crowded into
each young brain, generally to be
dropped as soon as the child has
left school, but the reasoning fac
ulty has not been developed in a
way to allow the variations of en-
dowment which each individual
shows to bear it's ripest fruit.
This individuality seems to be
crushed. ! say "seems to be" adj
vised!y for really it is more often
dwarfed. To my thinking that is
the greatest evil in the public
school system. Individual or
Variational Psychology is not re-
garded. 1t is sad to think that
the boy or girl possessing an UNI
usual equipment of capacity, in
dustry and energy is really treat
ed somewhat like pariah
amongst its fellows. Observe
even the sweet child, Emmy
Lou, lost all her wide eyed wonder
ment, and became very ordina-
ny creature in the end. She had

The Bearing of Education on Social
Life.
Fifty years ago, the advocates
of education prophesied that
crime would become almost ex-
tinct, and immortality thing of
the past with national system
of instruction. Enlightened men,
, it was supposed, would forsake
the dark paths of physical force"
nations would feel no more the
lust of conquest, the rich would
cease to grind the faces of the
poor, and Marcus Aurelius would
be the type of ruler rather than

OF all the communications
that that article has brought

mind the most extraordinary.
Whilst my turn for philosophical
and historical reading had left
me in full possession of the belief

Introduction to a large number
of people advocating, not reform,
but the total abolition of the
public school system. Now truth
does not rest with the extremes,
and whilst my own sympathies
lie with those who recognize the
evil in the public school system,
think that there is a better way
out than abolition, even were it
possible. Our school teachers are
in most cases honest minded,
men and women, and, as class,
more prone to do faithful work
than the teachers of private
schools. Our pupils are boys and
girls as they always were, and
our parents of all sorts and con-
ditions. even as in the beginning,
yet there is immense dissatisfac-
ton and remedy proposed in
total abolition. The conserva-
tive folk, on the other hand,
make for a policy of laisses-faire.
Neither is right. Let us examine.

In his volume, Facts and Com
ments, Herbert Spencer says:
everywhere the cry is-Edu-
cate, Educate, Educate! Every
where the belief is that by such
culture as schools furnish, child
rem, and therefore adults, can be
nodded into desired shapes. 1t is
assumed that when men are
taught what is right they will do
what is right-that n proposition
intellectually accepted will be
morally operative. And yet
this conviction, colltradicted by
every day experience, is at vari-
ance with an every day axiom
the axiom that each faculty is
strengthened by exercise of it
intellectual power by intellectual
action, and moral power by

"If ignorance be the mother OF
