Springfield, Ill, Dec 29.-Oscar L.
Triggs, of Chicago, today proposed
and advocated before the Illinois
State Teachers Association a radical
revolution of our educational system.
Professor Triggs spoke on the
Philosophy of Play" and in the
course of his long discourse held that
the culture in books of a library is a
culture that tends to separate men and
to erect barriers between the wise
and not wise.
The cultured man, he said, is pre-
pared to live in an aristocracy and not
in democracy. Democracy demands
a man of generous sympathies with
imaginative, if not actual, community
in every experience.
"Avoid all ceremonial" he said.
Educate for freedom, self-control,
ideal action and creative character. I"
Speaking of Lincoln, Prof Triggs
said that he was tn very embodiment
of the democratic idea He had a
culture as broad as life and as gener-
Gus as love.
''The college might have instructed
him, but it would have dstroyed him, y
| he said.
Taking Lincoln and Douglass, Pro-
fessor Triggs said that the education
al problem presented by those two
men is profound
The watchword of the present sys-
tenn is observation. Might not the fu-
ture take for its watchword play?
"Our education today" he said, SIS
too formal and objective-too much
concerned with machinery and knowl-
edge, and not enough with character.
The ideal of our educational centre is
that of the cultured gentleman, cul-
| ture possible only to few"

Death of Charles H. Reeve.

To the death roll of Indiana's dis
tinguished citizens was added Tues
day afternoon, the name of Charles
A. Reeve, for perhaps more than a
half century an honored resident oi
Plymouth. The approach of the end
of his eventful career has been visible
for some time. 1t has not been mat
ter of years; simply question oi
weeks or months For half a decade
r.. was almost helpless, but his nature
was such as to impel him to keep or
moving about as long as his frail
limb were at all responsive to his iron
will.
Charlie Reeve was an extraordinary
man. Few Just like him have been
seen on the stage of human activity
In his makeup were embodied genius
originality, frmness, fearlessness, &C.
centricity and popularity. His mind
was ever active From his very boy
hood days he was striking illustra-
ton of energy. Only during the hours
of sleep did he permit his vigorous
mind to be given over to rest.
Gruff at times, imperious and Inn
petuous at intervals, he was yet q
man of considerateness, of gentleness
and always of high-mindedness. Mere
cunning he despised with all the in.
tensity of his nature. Cupidity he held
in utter contempt. Dishonesty he
loathed and condemned with unspar
ing severity.
1t was always treat to spend few
hours with Charlie Reeve He wa:
so interesting, so unique, so alive tc
everything that pertained to human
activity and achievement, that hour!
spent with him seemed like mere min
utes.
How strange it will seem, for :
long time, to think of Pl5 5mouth with

To Help Rural Carriers.

Congressman Cromer, of Indiana
will make an effort at this session
of congress to increase the pay of the
rural carrier He says: MY view is
that the rural carriers should receive
a salary of $3.50 year. | think they
should be allowed also a vacation oi
fifteen days year on pay and that
the method of selecting their substi-
tutes should be changed so as to be
identical with the method of choosing
substitutes for city carriers. Now
each rural carrier selects his own sub
stitute as there is very little work
for a substitute under such circum-
stances it is hard to get men to act
in that capacity"

Father and Son.

The Sabbath was spent by father
and his son in the same Jail, both
being taken up for intoxication OF
a very offensive sort Both were
brought before the local cadi this
morning and fines and costs assessed
and as usual the heaviest punishment
will fall upon those who have a right
to depend upon the father and this
son for protection 1t isn't the first
time that either of these individuals
has been arrested, and the press will
be forgiven for expressing a fear that
it is not the last time. The laws oi
Indiana, generally speaking, are Sc
good that there is usually very little
cause for a prolonged meeting ofsthe
Legislature, but regarding this par
ticular class of wrong doing there is
an opportunity for the lawmakers to
display some wisdom this winter
which will make Indiana a good deal
better state.
You can't legislate morality into
any man or woman. No law will give
strength of character to any of the
people. But there could be an enact
ment which would protect wives and
children and give them environments
that are sober and removed from the
unwholesome examples that weak
characters impose upon US. The An
ng of these men will take the bread
|out-of the mouths of chiIdren, If the
fines are paid. Long Imprisonment
would deprive them of the chance to
support those whom it is their duty
to support. Yet if men are permitted
to violate the law without being ar
rested the lapses from sober industry
would be more frequent and more
prolonged. The officers have their
duty to do. They must enforce the
law.
