INFORMATION AND EDUCATION.

1--WE must remember" says Profes-
sor Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton,
'that information is not education. +"
But this is what great many people
have never learned. Their idea is that
education is means for loading up a
storehouse. There are lot of empty
spaces to be filed, and il the work is
properly done large and varied stock
Of goods will be stored away. Later
proud parent may desire sort of
showcase exhibition to prove that his
money has been we'll spent. If the
goods are not produced he is disap-
pointed. But the intormation>system,
like any other system, is inadequate
for the purpose. At best it can give
only poor and ill-assorted stock
which proves the need of concentration.
Hence the storehouse idea should be
repudiated and much better notion OF
what education should be may be gain
ed from muscular training. The OBJ
ject of what we call general educa
tion should, d,be,,mental discipline. A
working bxain is the goods to be pro-
duced. This gives in the first place
an all-around mental athlete, and
specializing can come later.
Possibly the idea may be carried too
far in the classroom. to the exclusion
of much that is fresh and interesting.
But it has been seriously neglected, or
foolishly sGorned, owing to the demand
for that impossible production of
goods. There can be little doubt, how
ever, that its Importance will be reas-
serted because of the demonstrated
futility of the substitutes that have
been suggested. Some of them are
proved failures, and abiect failues,
already. I hey were to be tremendously
useful. but the scraps from them are as
little used as ancient Greek or higher
mathematics.
This is not to say that experiment is
worthless in education and that i'm
provement is out of the question.
There were many flaws in old Systems
as they were applied, since they were
often lacking both in interest and in
discipline. But now, as always, mind
training, not mind loading, is required.
And it would he iudicious not to make
large and fascinating promises for any
scheme. Such promises can lead only
to more disappointments. Chicago

II has haen suggested that town

1t has been suggested that towns ly-
ing along the line of the railroads put
up bulletins at the railroad stations
setting forth the attractions of the
towns, aad their claim on the interest
of the travelling public. If the bIflle-
tins are not so ugly as to dis6gure the
landscape they will serve useful pur-
pose; but when the only bulletin in
sight has been a small, well-trimmed
park about the station and clean and
smooth streets leading to it, many
travellers have had their curiosity
aroused enough to inquire the name of
the town and its leading industries, so
pleasant an impression has the air of
thrift aud good taste made upon them.
Those village Improvement associations
which do not know where to begin
their work might do much worse than
to start with the railroad station sur
roundings.

guages they reply that many Of our
ideals in art and religion have come
down from the Greeks and that we
cannot understand modern life without
studying the language of the nation
which did so much to make modern
life what it is.
Truly we have taken much from the
Greeks. Whether the study of their
language makes us more or less grate-
full for our obligations may be ques-
toned, but the obligations themselves
are indubitable. One ideal which
the Greeks had, however, we have
missed. To them the great end and
aim of human life was beauty and
happiness. To us beauty is a thing of
little consequence and happiness is tri-
vial if it is not sinful.
The old Greek thought of his city
as place where human beings might
lead healthy and happy lives. What
ever interfered with this end he re-
moved. Whatever contributed to it
he buildod up, no matter at what OK
pense of time, money and labor. Noble
men were the highest aim Of the city
and the state. We, on the other hand,
think of the city as a place for making
money and whatever interferes with
that, aim we remove. We think it
worth while to sacrifice human COM
fort and happiness to the ideal of
profit. The Greeks thought no money
profit worth comparing with strong
bodies and blithe hearts.
1t is interesting to see how the diff
ferent ideals have been worked out in
practice. The old cities were clean,
beautiful. spacious; ours are sordid
and ugly, The ancients had to depend
upon slaves for their menial tasks,
while we have machines; but, upon
the whole, there was more leisure for
all men in Greece than there is in
America. Our machines have not
made things easier for the common
man, though they have increased the
relative wealth of the millionaire.
Could we not wisely take lessons from
Greece in other things besides gram

ATHENA. ORE, DEC. II. ..... 1907

The plans which have been decided
upon for an enlarged Whitman college
are worthy of the earnest and favor
able consideration of all persons inter-
ested in the educational growth of the
Pacific northwest. Already the in
stitution at WalIa Walla has gained
enviable distinction. Dating its birth
from the year 1859, when it was
founded to commemorate the name of
Marcus Whitman, the pioneer of
Christian civilization among the In
dians, it has gradually developed and
broadened to its present proportions.
Though the charter for whitman
seminary" as it was first called, was
granted in 1859, the institution was
not open to the public till 1866. In
1882 the courses of study were widen
ed, the standard was raised and in 1883
a new charter was granted, in which
the name was changed to Whitman
college. The plans that have just been
formulated call for an increase of
$1,865, 900 in the endowment, and the
appreciative Endorsement given to the
proposition, the details of which were
outlined by President s. B. l.. Penrose,
justifying an expectation that the
amount will be raised without any
great difficulty. Whitman college is
admirably located for an institution of
this kind. The climate at Walla
Walla is mild and healthful, the city
is easily accessible and the people of
the city and surrounding country are
intelligent and progressive, willingly
doing their part in sustaining the col
lege.

DEPARTED GLORY.
Glen Echo Mourns Loss of Its Town
Marshal

The glory is departed from Glen Echo.
The place which knew Marshal Collins now
knows him no more. The terror of automo-
bile scorchers has packed up his lares and
penates. assembled his wife and children
and vanished. Mayor Garrett said to a
reporter for the Star this morning that. al
though it is not known precisely what day
the former marshal chose for his fitting
the chances are that Friday was the time
for since that day the fire-eater's house has
been locked and nothing has been heard
from the precipitator of threatened inter-
national complications.
1t is believed that Collins has gone to
Philadelphia, for once before, when his
policy did not coincide with that of the ad-
ministration Of the village, he departed to
that abode of peace, ostensibly to take a
Job in a business belonging to his brother.
The one solid fact that protrudes from
the fleecy clouds of rumor which gather
about the removal of this hero OF the Con-
duit road is that he has gone. That is GER
tain. But Automobiles and the Depart
ments of State, War and Navy should not
