STUDIES OF PAST AND PRESENT

Old Herbert Spencer was evidently a hard-headed old fogy in some respects. One of his peculiarities was the belief that our children had much better study the present. than the distant past if one or the other must be neglected This is better expressed in the following some what lengthy paragraph from his auto biography:
 To think that after these thousands of years of civilization the prevailing belief should still be that while knowledge of his own nature, bodily and mental. and of the world physical and social in which he has to live, is of no moment to a man. 1t is of great moment that he should master the languages of two ex- tinct peoples and become familiar with their legends, battles and superstitions as well as the achievements, mostly san guinary, of their men. and the crimes of their gods! Two local groups of facts and Actions filling a relatively minute space in the genesis of a world which is itself but an infinitesimal part Of the universe, so occupy students that they leave the world and the universe un- studied! Had Greece and Rome never existed, human life. and the right con duct of it, would have been in their essentials exactly what they now are: survival or death, ! health or disease,
 
 misery. would have been just in the same ways determined by the adjustment or non-adJustment of actions to require ments. And yet knowledge subserving the adjustment which so profoundly con cerns men from hour to hour is con- temptuously neglected; while the best preparation for complete living Is sup posed to be familiarity with the words and thoughts, successes and disasters, folles, vices and atrocities of two peo- pies whose intelligence was certainly not above ours, whose moral standard was unquestionably lower, and whose ac- quaintance with the nature of things, in- ternal and external, was relatively small. That the old philosopher was inclined to be cynical is true enough, but was he very far wrong? We have no dis position to decry the study of the dead languages. or to underrate the advant- ages of knowledge of Latin and Greek, but is it not a fact that the study of the ever living present is neglected for the dim and distant past? We may learn much that is both interesting and use ful by studying and learning of
 The glory that was Greece
 And the grandeur that was Rome, put we mlght learn more that Is use- ful, if opportunities for study are limited, if We leave out some of the ancient and put in more of the modern. As Spencer says, if there had been no Greece or Rome. the world would go on just the same and the sum of human happiness not be materially lessened. In short, more study of the present and less of the past. if one must be neglected, might be the better plan.

It is refreshing to find a man who knows when he has had enough and Is willing to admit it. One of this kind is w. M. Reedy. editor of The St. Louis Mirror. For some reason he has been bitterly fighting the Folk boom in Mis- souri. but he sees the handwriting and in recent announcement he gives it up, ending wit hthe words.

Public school Matters.
The County Board of Ed"ca,ion
was in session Saturday the Goth, 10
decide noon the question of holding
a County Institute this Summer.
President Nenable Of the State Uni
versity submitted q proposition to
the Board through Prot. M. G. S
Noble offering to admit all the
teachers of Orange County to the
University Simmer School for four
weeks beginning June 18th, for a
very reasonable sum. The Board
accepted the proposition and de
cided to pay the fees of'all the teach
ers at Chapel Hill this summer.
They felt that a Summer School OF
tour weeks would be OF much more
value than an Institute of one week
The only cos: to the teachers will
be $40 for board and room. This
covers all the expenses.
TIE Board also submitted the fol-
lowing proposition to the teachers
looking TO a permanent lnci ease o.
salary for FIRST grade teachers TIC
every teacher who will attend the
Sommer School for four weeks and
take a public examination in July
aud make an average of IS per cent
shall have S35 next year. To every
teacher who will attend the Summer
| School four weeks aud take the ex
animation aud make an average o.
90 per cent, shall have $40 Tor the
next year.
