What Is Education.

From a letter in the New York Sun.
 The interesting reports which you are publishing about the educational value of the St. Louis exposition bring out point which seems to be almost universal belief and yet which when examined closely, appears to be a popular mistake
 The use of the word education has be- come so broad that 1t includes anything from 'college education" to a trip to Bergen Beach. Is education so much the absorption of information or knowledge as the manner of requirement? We hear everyone say travelling is the best edu- cation." Rightly they could say 1t ia the best Instructor, but 1t is clearly wrong 10 says that 1t necessarily educates The dictionary makes this plain when 1t says education Is not so much communication Of knowledge as discipline of the intellect establishments of principles and regula- ton of the heart. In this view Is not ed- ucation more the proper organization. classification and presentation of almost any kind of facts that the absorption like a sponge of heterogeneous information ? Tne clear and painstaking scientific artf- Gle which presents facts orderly and sys- tematicslly and finally draws logical con- clusions is more of an educator than A trip with guide through Westminster Abbey with all It's confusing names, dates and events jumbled together
 In a like manner does tho walk through the St. Louis buildings and trip down the Pike do more than give one a bird s eye view of the worlds accomplishments. products and people, which without any further effort on the part of the visitor make him more "educated" except in so far as his mind has been trained to or derly thought and habits? Jumping the mind from soap making to 1gorrote games and then back to the products of Kansas would, In this view be demoralizlng to most minds.
 Therefore in the strict meaning of the word, is not the mere absorption of know ledge an instruction rather than an edu- cations

DALLAS WILL SHOW HEALTHY INCREASE Gain in Taxable Property Val. uation is S364 387. SCHOOL CENSUS FINISHED F. M. Morrow Is Discharged By the Mayor, There Being No EvI
 dence That He Set Fire
 to Store.
SCHOOL CENSUS FINISHED

Selma, August 1s.-tspecial) )-Dallas county will add her more than mite toward increasing the taxable values Of the state. The figures the assessor has sent to the state auditor show healthy increase.
 The total value of taxable property in Dallas for the year 1904 is S9,SSbO6s as compared with 30. 480,S2 the preceding year. This gives an increase of *S64'SSf' and puts into the states coffers nearly 5000 more, while Into the county's treas- ury 1t adds over s15Oo. Of course the special taxes and the soldiers tax Is increased approximately.
 County Superintendent of Education D. M. Galloway has forwarded to the state superintendent the figures in the school census enumeration.
 The School Census.
 This census was taken by the three trustees in each district, and the name of every child between the ages of and 21 are on file in the office of the county superintendent. Under this system padded rolls can be located and properly dealt with. The figures for Dallas are as fol- lows and does not include Selma, which is a separate school district: Total b. S67, of which 1858 are whites and lS,25l are colored. Of the whites 702 are males and 651 females. Of the colored 66G0 are males and 6591 are females. Using the unit of three to one the population outside ot Selma in Dallas county would be about 47,OO0, which Is In the neighborhood or the census figures. and therefore 1t Is thought the Dallas census is practically accurate.
 Married Yesterday Afternoon.
 MT. Erwin E. Cade and Miss Mamie V. Harrison surprised their friends yester- day afternoon by driving out to the home of the Rev. W. T. Waller and getting married. They will make their home in Selma.
 Morrow Was Acquitted.
 F. M. Morrow who was tried yesterday on the charge of arson was acquitted In the mayors court this morning, the may or having rendered hls decision which he held up yesterday morning.
 The alibi established by the young man was complete ana II was pIVNSh to ihc mayors satisfaction that it could not have been he that applied the match to the store MT. Wallis, prominent citizen, testified that not only did young Morrow sleep at his house that night but that he CWalIis) slept in the bed with him, and that he never left the room between p. m. and the next morn ing.
 Crops Have Been Injured.
 Several prominent planters from Dallas Perry and Hale county counties were In Selma today and the Age-Herald's rep- resentative took some pains to question them as to the crop prospects. Without exception their reports are bad R. H. McFadden of Greensboro stated that his crop was almost entirely ruined. He farms a large number of bottom acres and 1t is this class of cotton that has been the most damaged.
 A L. Dozier of Perry county stated that the cotton crop in his county had been dana ged nearly 50 per cent by the rains. The report from the several Dallas coun- ty farmers interviewed was practically the same.

Good Luck for Turtles at Least.
From the Hong Kong Press.

From the Hong Kong Press.
 The Chinese have a peculiar custom with regard to turtles, which they con slider as very good joss. Almost any day one can see these creatures, some of them of huge size, being carried on board the river steamers, not to be taken to Canton for culinary purposes, but to be dumped into the sea and restored to lib- erty and freedom. Good luck is thought to follow.

Saw Chance for Food.


 Hundreds of strikers and sympathizers saw a chance for food and pursued the animals. one of which fell into an ex- cavation in the dark and broke its leg. Three men stood on guard over the ami mad and the other driver pursued the seven steers. Sergeant Mullen and a squad of men who were stationed near the entrance to the yards sought to aid the men who were fighting off the crowd, but were not successful
 Driven back for two blocks, the five policeman managed to send call to the new city police station.
 By that time there were fully 40O0 riot CTS in the street. Officers were hurried from every available source and four squads of fifteen men each in charge of Leutenants Prim. Moore. Crane and Daw- ney rushed the mob on four sides.
 When the fighting began over the steer that had fallen into the excavation, sec- ton of the mob pursued the other anil mals. Late at night the steers had not been found. and dozens of officers were detailed to search the premises of the strikers. The steer which fell into the excavation was torn to pieces and carried away by the rioters.

Panama Currency.

Washington, June 20.-The commits
sion charged with the preparation Of a
currency system for Panama has
reached an agreement which estab-
fishes coin equivalent in fineness and
weight to the dollar OF the United
States as the standard and which also
makes the United States dollar legal
tender in Panama.
Under the terms of the agreement
the Panama government will recon or
convert the Colombian silver into
coins of the size of silver dollar. The
amount of this silver in Panama is
now estimated at S1,500,000.
At the request of Secretary Taft it
was agreed to coin as much more sill
yer until a total OF $4,000. 600 is
reached. In order to retain a parity
with gold there will be deposited in
some reputable bank in New Work fif-
teen per cent. of the amount coined,
and in addition there will be deposited
all the seigniorage which Panama will
make In the coinage to meet the
American governments requirements.
The agreement provides for joint
arrangement between the government
OF Panama and the canal commission
under which, by selling drafts and by
drawing on the funds, exchange can
be kept down to a reasonable figure.
not above two per cent. and thus
avoid large fluctuations OF rates.
