EDUCATION.
Copyrighted 1907 by Charles +
Lnkens.

Education in general sense, is
the development of the whole nature
of man, physically, intellectually,
morally and spiritually. through ac-
ton and reaction with every phase
.of one Is surroundings.
Plato said; Good education is
that which gives TO the body and to
the soul all perfection of which
they are capable. I"
Unfortunately, a system based
upon "a narrower view has been i'll
vogue and still continues to- be up
pei1nost in the minds Of the ma
iority.
Education is now generally re-
oardcd as d specific training or
drill Of the mind in early childhood
and youth for some specific pur-
pose in view.
Many are being trained for some
definite aim of the parents regard
less Of the natural trend CT the
child's mind, wholly ignoring the
capabilities and possibilities OF the
child.
If the education Of our youth
were mere general and in the
spirit of freedom, far greater re-
snlts would he obtained. The
Greeks were the first to work oni
n theory and practice of education
based upon scientific principles
rather than upon religious beliefs
and ecclesiastical ceremonies.
Elementary schools, were establish
ed in Athens in the seventh cen

These schools were Of iwo-fold
eharacter: One taught music, read
ing and writing; the other, gymnas
ties for the purpose of development
of the body by various exercises
such as running, Jumping, wrest
ling, javelin throwing and lill'
sports.
There was no direct militar,
training. "Gymnasiics for the bod,
and music for the soul" was Pla
to's summary Of the powers of edu
cation,
l Charles Nordhoff says: "It is t
the interest Cd all citizens that ev
cry child in the state shall have S
much education as shall enabl

still the gas seemed TO escape.
She went to the landlord of the house
Abraham Greusten, of 225 West Kinney

leak. He went to the house and the odoi
of gas seemed to be strongest on the TOT
floor. He burst open the door of Bury'i

found the young man dead in bed.
The one window of the room was CLOSED
and gas was flowing from a leak in a rub

PHILADELPHIA MAN DOESN'T
LIKE JERSEY WAYS.
Objects to Manner in Which States
Automobile Department Is Conducted,
Including Use of Red Ink.

TRENTON. Oct. 1a-Dr. Lewis H.. Adj
Ter, jr of 1910 Arch street, Philadelphia,
doesn't like red ink used on his New Jer-
sey automobile certificate. He has told the
State so-told it rather testify, that red is
not his ~favorite color for such purposes.
He failed to specify which he preferred In
ink-violet, purple or %pink-but he accom-
plished one of the results he was seeking.
He attracted the attention of Commissioner
]. 2. r. Smith and the whole automobile
d, partment to the fact that he was dis
pleased. Incidentally he stirred up con-
siderable trouble for himself and may lose
altogether his right to go a~utomobiling in
this State.
DIR. Adler's complaint began a few days
ago, when he received an automobile Ii
cense dated October 10, instead of october
is. He sent 1t back for correction, asking
that it be made good until October 10, 1908.
/ The correction was made in red ink, as is
the custom of the office. and the card was
returned. This brought from the doctor a
letter in part as follows:
Your courteous reply, so characteristic
of Jersey, was received this morning in
the shape of a card dated as previously
objected to by me and without a scrap OF
paper in reply to my communication to
| you. l return the cara herewith, reluSlnE
to accept 1t, demanding either a written
letter stating that this card will be good
flor one year from the date of my present
card, October Is, or a new card dated
October 10.
Unless this can be done kindly return
ny So and keep your card. Unless this car
he done within a few days l shall commun.
icate with two or three of our leading pa
pers and give them an interview regarding
this matter that will add to the light re-
Gently thrown upon your actions regard
ing the holding up OF so many motor cars
within the ~racincts of New Jersey.
Commissioner Smith Immediately dictated
a reply declaring that he failed to see why
a letter OF explanation was necessary
when the card was properly corrected
even in red ink, and stating that motor
agents throughout the State had been or
dered not to reissue the card until an in
vestigation mad been made. Mr.. Smitl
took especial exception to the threat ant
decided that DR.. Adler must show Gauss
In this city Friday, October 25, why hi
drivers license should not be revoked, al
we'll as his auto license refused. This ex
PLANTATION must be made by the doctor be
fore he can run his motor here after mex
