In the recent death of Herbert Spen-
Ger, the great English author, thinker
and scientist, the world of Letters has
lost one of the brightest lights that
has illuminated it for years. Herbert
Spencer did not fash across the intel.
lectual sky as literary meteor, but
for years he gave the student who goes
beneath tho surface of things, who
seeks for the intellectual kernel,
rather than the chaff, store house OF
thought that will not soon te repro
duced. On memorable occasion
General. Wolfe said he would rather
be the author of Gray's "Elegy it
a Country Churchyard' than accom-
plish daring military feat that
made lis name noble tribute to the
merit Of intellect. The death oil
Spencer has hardly caused comment
in the press of today, so beut is the
present generation on considering only
that which is starting or sensational.
Yet for centuries, the most cultured
minds of the world will pay tribute
at his shrine. Fershell, and BAG OF
and Locke were great as thinkers, blu,
in time Spencer will be recognize d al
the greatest of them all.

FRIDAY, DEC. Is 1908.

The news columns of the Inter-
Ocean last week gave report of the
winning of the second prize by the
Devils Lake high school in competi
ton with the high schools Of South
Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
North Dakota. The contest was in
English composition, and the merit
of these compositions were passed
upon by literary critics. So that it
can readily be seen that the high
school of this city are far advanced
in literary ability. The Inter Ocean
takes pride in this standing of our
public educational institution, as
does every good citizen. the only
trouble is that the majority of people
do not appreciate the work of. this In
stitution, and especially in the line
of work tested by the recent contest.
1t is sad commentary on many of the
educational institutions today that
they are turning out educational auto
nations who know books as the parrot
knows language, but who are as de-
void of brain ability and the power to
think as the parrot. This is rue of
the higher educational institutions as

Graduates are sont out from th ese in
situations with the latter's certificate
of ability in the form of diploma,
but who, when outside the class room,
possess not one toto of indepenent
ability. The contest has required
two accomplishments from those who
Z were competing. One is the ability
to use the English language in such a
manner as to convey thought. The
other, and far more important one
is the ability to discuss a subject
in an int lligent manner, to give ideas
other than those conned insthe class
room, in a word, to possess large
measure of brain power. The sub.
jects we're giveu by the journal which
offered the prizes, and it is reasonable
to suppose that in contest in which
the schoolsof four states were engaged,
the thought required must have been
considerable The young man OF

lity will never be "A unlettered

GET RID OF THE SCALE.
is No Time to Lose in Spraying
Trees

Evidently ONE fruit growers do not
realize that there is only about three
weeks left in whish they can spray for
the San Jose scale. The SPRAYS cannot
be applied with safety or efficiency af-
ter the buds burst and that means that
there is only a short time remaining
i'll which this most important work
"a be done. Some fruit growers have
been very tardy in getting their SPRAY
ing outfits and if they do not hustle
from now on they will not get the
work done. There is always more or
less unavoidable delay in getting start
ed and getting everything in working
order. even after the outfit is pur-
chased. The only safe way is to begin
right now. Don't wait another day.
1t will be money in your pocket to be
fore-handed in this work. This San
Jose scale situation is a serious thing
to Berkeley county in general and to
every individual fruit grower in Berk-
elev County. United and thorough
spraying will get this pest under con
troll this year. Don't procrastinate on
this business any longer. Get done
