Obituary.

Calmly and fearlessly like the hero
that he was, trustfully and hopefully
like the believer in the teaching
of the lowly Nazarene that he was,
Earnest Douglass, Oldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. /. D. Brandon of Prairie,
Miss. met the inyincible messenger
of death.
The end came Saturday evening
July, % at DR.. r. p. Wendel's in
Urinary, caused from the dreaded
desease, appendicitis, consciousness
remained with him until a few
minutes of his death, and to his de
voted father and others gathered
about the bedside he talked ration
ally on the subject that engaged his
vanishing thoughts.
While we know that all who
breathe and tread the earth to-day
must at last share the destiny of
those who have passed over that
bridge which spans the mysterious
river-the dividing line between the
two eternities-still, when the end
comes and our loved ones are car
ried from us, we are wholly unpre-
pared for the sacrifice, and in the
shadow of an overwhelming sorrow
the heart staggers, hope grows dim
for a time and human understand
is turned to confusion. But God has
said 4 am the resurrection and the
life; he that believeth in me though
he were dead, yet shall he live. " Al
though Earnest was only Is years
of age his punctuality in the per-
Torrance of every duty, the interest
he manifested in every relation of
life, com bined with strong intel
lect, ardent affection and courageous
will that he was richly endowed
with, furnishes us example worthy
Of emulation. We extend to the be-
reaved family our sympathy in their
deep affection and pray that they
may receive comfort from the
thought that he has gone to his
heavenly Fathers home. May God
comfort and sustain the family;
May he pour balm on their bleeding
hearts and may the blessed night be
given to meet him safe at home in
heaven where God will wipe away
all tears from our eyes and there
shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor crying, neither will
there be any more pain, for the
former things are passed away
We shall meet, but we shall miss him,
There will be his vacant chair,
Tears may flow affections tribute,
Ger the tomb of him we love,
Murmer not, Gods hand has placed
him
On a throne above.

The clamOr for a constitutional con
vention to change the manner of dis
tributing the State school fund is not
well founded. The present way of
disbursing the fund to the counties
according to educable population is
in line with the idea OF public educa-
ton everywhere, and is entirely for
eign to any claim a civil district might
urge ON a tax basis. Because one
county pays more tax to the State
than another is no reason that county
should receive more school fund than
its poorer neighbor If that were
the purpose of free education, then
the larger the tax payer the more
school he should receive for his chill
dren. Doubtless. inequalities do exist
in assessed property values among
the various counties of the State. If
they do, the remedy does not lie in a
constitutional convention but in the
legislature, or a better understanding
among the county boards of appraise-
ment. 1t were well TO let the best
constitution that Mississippi ever had
alone, and reform the public officials
who have permitted these inequalities,
if such inequalities exist.

EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT.

The development in educational
methods In the last year. while it has
exhibited little of the sensational or
spectacular, has been steady and
definite. On the other hand, the gen.
eral advance in methods and ideals,
though almost unnoticed except by
those Immediately interested, has been
strong and constant. Old ideas have
been more fully worked out, and at
least one new purpose, which until
recently was merely an unconscious
trend, has become, with educational
leaders, a conscious aim.
The principal educational develop
ment in this year, as in several years
past. has been along the line of "edu-
cation for efficiency" and among the
broader educators education for eff
ficient service" The difference be
tween the two, to the teacher, is largely
one of ideal rather than of method, and
- the pupil, of purpose than of train
.-Ig, so that practically those who
worked largely for the training of the
individual machine and those who
worked for the development of a
stronger social factor have found their
immediate aims identical. 1t is in de-

veloping the ideal of efficiency, in all
its amficatldns, that almost all the no.
ticeable changes have been made or
planned in the methods of both higher
and lower schools. The changes have,
perhaps, been on a more general line
in colleges and universities, and have
been concerned more largely with de-
tails in elementary schools.
The development toward education
for efficiency in the higher schools
has been twofold. The most conscious
movement, the one most discussed and
most inteligently acted upon, has been
that toward closer contact between stu
dents and teachers. The other, which
is as yet almost unrecognized by cas-
ual observers, but Is felt and under
stood by those of the widest experience
and deepest insight, has been toward
what might be called, to employ me-
chanical term. "standardizing' of
methods.
New York City has accomplished
more in the last twelve years in en-
larging the scope of its university edu-
cation than any city in the world. In
