EDUCATION OF THE UNFIT.

Too Much Attempted in the Present
scheme of Learning.
The education of the unfit Is another
problem which has come up to bother
our pedagogues and it is one which is
bound up also in the great problem of
underfeeding, says American Medicine.
There are so many men writing on this
topic as to give the impression that we
are attempting too much In our exten-
sive educational schemes. n Is now
known that every brain has limit be-
yond which 1t cannot be educated-a
law as applicable to types of men as to
types of dogs. Children, naturally,
drop out of school at certain grades
and those who are continued beyond
their proper limit are merely injured
thereby. Many a splendid mechanic
has thus been educated into a poor
preacher who half starves the rest of
his life
1t is now even hinted that many of
our new types of immigrants are mere
hewers Of wood and drawers of water
as their ancestors have been from time
immemorial, and that any education
merely units them for the battle Of life.
If all these surmises are true they are
bound to shake the very foundation of
our present order of things.
The theory that there are minds now
migrating to our shores which cannot
possibly be trained into condition fit
for citizenship will naturally be re-
sented by those who have built up our
present school system to train men to
equality. Yet 1t is time to stop and
think a little.
Every autumn the papers of the
larger cities are much concerned over
the inadequate school facilities and
publish dreadful statistics Of the thou.
sands Of pupils who must be placed on
half-time, yet it has long been known
that in London schools the half-timers
who work half of each day really
progress faster than those who go to
school all day.
Have we not upset nature too quick.
ly in our schools also? The mothers
who cannot care for their children send
them to school not to be educated, but
to get rid Of them. In admitting them
are we not already far on the way
toward that socialism with it's free
lunches, which is so repugnant to
American family independence? Wheth-
er or not we are educating the unfit,
it Is quite evident that our lower
grade schools are taking the place Of
the family. The feeding of the hungry
among them Is but little step beyond
The dreadful physical condition OF
some of them must be remedied some
how and prevented In the future.
Stewart Patton In his text book on Psy-
chiatry says it Is the duty of physl-
clans to warn against educating those
unfit for it-most timely advice to
which it would be well to give heed.

The sale bill Is all right as far as 1t
goes, but it does not go far enough
Advertising in the newspaper beats it
two to one. A Nebraska farmer tried
the first plan, but was not satisfied
with results. Attendance at the sale
was not up to expectations, and it was
postponed for a season. Then a new
date was set and an advertisement
placed in the local paper. This time
people came from all dlrections-even
from adjoining States-and the crowd
was so great that the sheriff of the
county thought he ought to be present
to keep the peace. 1t developed, how
ever that that official was In attend
ance because his county town had been
deserted and he felt lonesome to re-
main there alone. If you don't be-
lieve advertising pays try to have a
public sale without telling the public
about 1t through the public paper.-Ex-

STA.
The lesson of the hour, therefore,
as expounded by Mr.. Hill in his ad-
dress to the farmers and business
men of Minnesota at theSstate fair last
week, is-study and practice soil til
lage and every branch. Of thorough
agriculture. We must do that if we
would fulfill our mission as world
power and as the world-refuge for the
oppressed and needy: Mr.. Hill would
have the government establish a
model farm in every congressional
district, and, if need be, have the
states follow up the program with a
model farm in every county. He
would reclaim the arid lands, drain
the swamps, practice scientific fores-
| try and establish good roads in
every hamlet. He would call a halt
on the wild career of waste and ex-
haustion which marks the country
and the times and put our house in
order for an enduring and prosperous
| future.-COmmercia West.

Schmahl Endorses Mark.

julius A. Schmahl, chief clerk of
the house in the last three sessions of
the legislature and at present the re-
publican candidate for secretary OF
state, writes to Hon. Emmett Mark un-
der date of Sept. 9:
1.-The most important fight Of the
last session of the legislature was that
for the Nolan reciprocal demurrage
bill. You not only voted for the
minority report of the railroad COM
mittee, which recommended the bill
for passage, but you voted against
the reconsideration of that vote which
recommended the bill for a special
order, and then you voted for the bill
on it's final passage. You can run
on that record alone, and I would use
it very prominently and always.
1.-THE mere fact that you were not
always present to vote, or even half
the time we're not recorded as voting,
ought not to be used against you. It
is where important bills are up for
consideration that votes count and
you were generally there then. You
can say that committee work, after
all, is the most important, and fire.
quently members are attending to that
work when minor or unimportant bills
are being voted on, and people &C.
quainted with legislation know this
to be fact.''

Mr.. Hills Warning.

It is a good thing for a nation to
have few men with courage enough
to go against the current of popular
fallacy and nationalistic jingoism
and point out once in while the
dangers that threaten. In the midst
of the general prosperity shouting
Mr.. Hill has the courage and fore
sight to point a warning in emphatic
terms, even to the point of showing
US that many of the very factors of
our so-called prosperity are, in fact,
simply methods of exhausting our
heritage of natural resources. .-..
The great American forest re-
sources, except small patch on our
Pacific coast, are practically gone.
Forty years at the present rate prom
Use to use up the remnant of our iron
and coal, already long On the road
to bankruptcy. Our wheat fields,
which in the days of virgin fertility
yielded twenty-five to forty bushels
per- acre, have dropped through ,ex-
haustion of native fertility to a
twelve-bushel average. The farms of
the Atlantic coast and of the middle
states have lost, in both fertility and
market value because we have neg
lected the study of thorough-going
agriculture such as today is practi-
ced in all Europe, except only Russia
and possibly Turkey. ,..
In the meantime our population
continues to swell both by native
gains at the rate of Is per cent every
decade and by immigration at the
rate of a million people per annum.
Even with only three-quarters of a
million of new immigrants year
the United States will have 2O0,O 00,-
900 people in 1850; while, if immigra-
ton ceases entirely, we shall have by
natural increase 10000, 900 in 1850.
Whether we have l50,000,OOO or 2OO,-
600, 900, the problem is, what shall we
do with them? How shall we house
and feed them; with forests going and
practically gone, and with the wheat
crop nearing the point of no surplus
for export?
Of course, the meat in the cocoanut,
as extracted for us by Mr.. Hill, is
this-that the reliance of this nation.
as of all others, is the soil, and that

prosper and endure, must speedily

The administration of the sheriff's office, under Stewart Hunt. has been one of the best in the history of Co chise county. Every duty devolving on Sheriff Hunt has been performed promptly without partiality; the peo- pie have been served faithfully; the records of the office will show that there has been no favoritism in the matter of license collection. The office has been economically administered in every department; the jail manage ment has been a model. prisoners have been we'll cared for and the jail is a model of cleanliness and se dgilant has been the watch over it that no escapes have occurred. Stewart Hunt has earned the respect and confidence of every citizen of the county and he is deserving to receive every vote cast at the coming election whether he gets 1t or not. Those who are opposing

Let the people remember when con- sidering for whom they should vote at the approaching election that the democratic party is fighting the trusts which have been built up and protect ed by the republican party; let them remember that the democratic candi- dates in this election represent the party that has remained a solid unit from the senate of the United States to the precinct primaries in Arizona against joint statehood which is today a pet measure of the national syepub- lican leaders. including Roosevelt, Cannon, Beyeridge and others. Don't forget that the republicans of Cochise county in their platform endorsed Roosevelt and don't forget that Roose- welt is the father of joint statehood which would make Arizona a province of New Mexico.

 It is understood the protest was made upon the claim that three out lying precincts did not hold their primaries between the hours specified by law.
