Educational Scouting Again.

A few days ago The ournal
joined in the general discussion of the
question whether the educational insti-
buttons Of the country are alive to the
demands of the hour and prepared to
give the young men and women Of the
country training along lines which will
best fit them to take advantage of the
opportunities which commercial and in
dustrial changes create. The thought
there expressed seems to have been en-
tertained already by some of the lead
ing educators of the state, for we find
that it is the purpose of the Minnesota
Educational association to give serious
consideration to the phase Of the ques-
ton then presented at the approaching
meeting in December. Men Of promi-
hence in various lines of commercial
and professional activity will be invited
to discuss before the association what
the signs Of the times indicate will be
required of the educated young man
Of the near future and to suggest to
professional educators from the field
Of experience and observation what will
best fit the young men and women of
tomorrow for the opportunities which
are likely to be presented to them.
This educational scouting, so to
speak-this dispatching Of men to the
front to discover what are to be the
special demands Of the future upon ed
ucated men and women, and to discover
what opportunities are about to be
opened to them in, professional life, in
politics, in industry and in commerce
commends itself to the leaders of the
state educational association as means
OF making education more practical
more effective, more serviceable in the
work-aday world.
This thought does not necessarily an.
tagonize those theories of education
which insist that broad general culture
is the proper function Of an educational
system. 1t seeks no conflict with the
advocate of the theory that education
is mental training solely and is willing
to leave to all those who have the taste
and the leisure for it the pursuit Of edu
cation along those lines. It justifes its
claim to consideration on the grounc
that the great majority neither desire

acter, but require and are entitled tt

A Tough Hide.

1t is customary to eXcoriate the brib-
ers, but the fellows who take the money
are fully as contemplate. Last Sun
day the Rev. R. A. Elwood, pastor Of
Olivet Presbyterian church of Whining
ton, Del, referred to j. Edward Ad-
dicks and loudly denounced that poll
tician for his methods. Then he went
on to say:
"The human leeches that have hung
to the money bags Of Addicks since his
advent into Delaware are as much to
blame for the reproach Of Delaware as
their master, and when the history of
this state's present decade is written,
the greatest contempt Of posterity will
be heaped upon those native-born citi
zens Of Delaware who for greed and
gain sullied the honor of their state.'
You might think Addicks would sue
for libel some of these excoriators like
Tom Lawson or the Wilmington preach:
CT. But no. His hide is too tough: l.
feel such little punctures as these. But
take away his special privileges and
give them to their real owner, the pub
lie, and you would hear his "squeal.'

Congressman McCleary has one constit-
uent who does not understand the garden
seed game. He received a package last
spring from the agricultural department,
by special recommendation of Mr.. Nc
Cleary, but noted on the outside of the
envelope the precaution: Penalty for
private use, 5000" T. He Immediately
wrote the congressman as follows:
Dear Mr. McCleary: I don't know
what to do about those garden seeds you
sent me. l notice it is $500 fine for pri-
vate use. I don't want to plant them In
my private garden. I can't afford to pay
$500 for privilege. Won't you see if you
can fix it so I can use them privately,
for am a law-abiding citizen and do not
want to commit any =crime?"
Mr.. McCleary's reply is not given, but
probably he explained that the private
use" applied to the use Of the mails, as
the congressmans frank is only allowed
to be used on his personal correspond
ence and campaign material, the same
constituting a public purpose.

Alderman Schoonmaker's proposition tc
submit the water filtration proposition tc
the people at the November election is all
right. 1t will no doubt be approved al
the polls, and the sooner the popular will
is expressed the better. The filtration OF
our water supply will necessitate a con-
siderable bond issue-probably million
dollars-but we have got to have good
water. In view Of the conditions that now
obtain, where large portion of the pop
ulation feel compelled to buy pure water
for drinking and domestic uses, it would
no doubt be cheaper to filter the water
for the whole city. leaving out of con-
sideration the other and more Weighty
reasons for filtration.

ANCIENT MEDICAL ADVICE

More than 1000 years ago, Rhazes, an
Arabian physician, gave this advice to, his
patients with reference to the selection of
physician: Study carefully the ante
cedents of the man to whose care you pro-
pose to confde all YOU have most dear in
the world, that is, your life and the lives
Of your wife and children. If the man is
dissipated, is given to frivolous pleasures,
cultivates with too much zeal the arts
foreign to his profession, still more SO if
he be addicted to wine and debauchery,
refrain from committing into such hands
lives so precious ''st5 ~

doubtless desirable, but it seems to us
they can be put off until Nicollet avenue
is put in shape to such bridge.
The new senginehouse and East Side po-
lice station are doubtless desirable, but
are not essential at present, and should
be left to a future time.
This is also the situation with regard
to the proposed bridge on Eighth avenue
N, the proposed paving yard and the bath
houses.
The improvement of leading avenues
connecting with country roads, begun this
year, should continue, but we believe the
amount expended this year. $25, 600, is as
much as ought to be allowed annually,
1nasmuch as city property Is now taxed
thru the county revenue fund over $50 900
each year, which is expended upon roads
outside the city limits.
The item OF $4,000 for payment of re-
bates is open to question There are MANY
who contend that the city is not legally
bound to pay these rebates and that the
question should be tested We submit
that the city could not suffer by a test
Of its liability in the courts, and that
1t should not continue to pay out this
money without knowing that it is Obliged
to do so.
We do not think the moral obligation
strong, for the money was paid without
protest under system which proved sat-
1sfactory for many years.

the following items:
