the mind, by coming into contact with
facts. grows strong in its power to
grasp yet other facts. In short the boy
or the girl is learning to think. and In
that thinking the boy becomes a man
and the girl becomes woman.
Now, in accordance with these dis
tinctions,< we have two classes OF
schools. First, the educational schools
proper, which begin with the common
school and end with the college; AMI
second, the training, or technical, o.
professional schools of various name
and purpose. Now, someone has de-
fined the college as the place where
nothing useful is taught Possibly the
same cyfic would define school of the
second class as a place where only
useful things are taught. Now, will
not quarrel with the definition If. by
usefulness, you mean simply a COM
mercial usefulness, that is, the learn
ing to do certain things, or the getting
possessed Of certain knowledge that
has market value. that can be trans
lated into food and clothing or bank
account. But are these the only use
full things that we have to live for? If
so, then our current ideas of life are
all wrong. and the rich fool in the
Bible wasn't SO much of a fool after
all.
Rather let us put the two classes
of institutions not as rivals-the one
for the training Of theorists, and the
other for the training OF practical men,
but as mutually supplementing each
other, the one, the educational group,
where the boy or girl first tarries until
they have gained that maturitas, where
they have entered into the full possess
sion of native powers; and the second
the technical group, where the boy or
girl In possession of their powers learn
to do certain things or get possession
OF certain knowledge which they may
put to the service Of their fellow men"
Ip reply to the self-made man. who
has an idea that an education is not
necessary, Professor Terry cited sta
tistics to show that present conditions
are very different from those OF forty
years ago. and that the young man
who goes into life without the proper
equipment Is laboring under a handi
cap such as the fathers knew nothing
about. Then college-bred men were
comparatively rare. but today there is
not calling wherein young man will
not find himself in vigorous competie
ton with college-bred men. There IS
also an increasing number of posi-
tions from which the man without
college education is absolutely de-
barred.
But beyond the merely. commercial
value of an education Mr.. Terry In
sisted upon the purely cultural value
which alone makes an education worth
while;s that by it the young man or
woman may rise above the beaten
track where the countless millions toll
so YEARLY, and enter into that upper
sphere. where all life Is blessing, and
the present moment is always the
best"

Unreasonable Weather, Planters
Say, Has Caused the Seed to
Rot in Ground
HOLDING FOR FIFTY CENTS
Estimate for the County is From one-
half to Two-thirds Of the Average
crop-Many Farmers Of the County
Are Holding Their Old Corn for a
Higher Price.

Fl. 4
One half to two-thirds Of the aver
age corn crop for Marshall and Tan1a
counties, and fifty cents soon for old
corn, is the prediction being made for
this season by well known farmers.
Unreasonable weather during, and fell
lowing planting time. 1t is said, will
cause a big shrfnkage in the crop. and
the prospects will cause rise for the
old corn.
Farmers in both counties say the
stand is poor, and many are busy re-
tremely dry weather during the weeks
when most Of the corn was being
planted prevented 1t from terminating.
Following this dry weather the heavy
rains and cold came, which caused
much of the planted corn to rot in the
ground. The more pessimistic Of the
farmers estimate the probable crop at
not more than one- half of the average
OF former years.
At this time there is much old corn
in the hands ,of farmers. Large guam
titles Of 1t are being shelled as rapidly,
as possible and marketed, but much
Of it is being held In the hope Of the
market advancing to. SO cents At one
time at Green Mountain Wednesday,
there were eighteen wagon loaded with
corn waiting at the elevator to unload.
In Gilman and it's vicinity 1t is esti-
mated that there is in the hands Of the
farmers 100000 bushels OF corn being
held for so cents. 2.

Mr.. w. N. Dickerson, Of St Anthony.
who owns farm near Melbourne was
in the city Friday evening on his way
home from a visit to the Melbourne
farm, situated three and one-quarter
miles southwest of Melbourne. Mr..
Dickerson says that he has ordered
the replanting of twenty Of his forty
acres already in corn, which will be
done as soon as the ground will permit.
Mr.. Dickerson estimates that in the
forty acres he will not have more than
The growth has been very slow owing
to the dry weather, and the cold wet
weather has caused some OF the seed to
rot.

Dis not the only thing that is hurting
the corn. He found by examination
that black ants were working on the
seed in large numbers, and that cut
worms We're doing considerable dam
age.
Mr.. Dickerson is not pessimistic
enough to think that Marshall county
is going to have corn crop failure
but he does believe that we will rot
have a bumper crop this year.
On the Dan Iwilling farm, just west
Of Melbourne, and some Of it within
the corporation limits, fifty acres of
corn will be replanted. The conditions

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the disease dportion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition Of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal >condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever: nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

SCHHAB DIVORCE
RUNOR CONF IRMED
Brother of Steel Magnate
to Charge Young Wife
With DeSertion.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 16.-Relatives ad-
Hitted today the truth OF recent rumors
that Joseph z. Schwab, younger brother
Of Charles NJ. Schwab has separated
from his wife, with whom he eloped
twelve years ago, when she was Esther
Munhah. a high school girl, and he a
superintendent in the Carnegie Steel
Mills. II Is said that she has not lived
with him for n year and that n divorce
will be ssked for on the ground Of de-
sertiou, tho wife acquiescing.
Mrs. Schwab's father was rich coal
operator for whom the town OF Nun
hall, Pa, was named. Her family were
opposed 20 her marrying Schwab. Esther
was attending the Homestead High
School when she and Schwab elOped.
SChwab acquired enough United States
Steel stock TO earn him $4,000 a year,
and in recent years he has made much
money with his brother. For several
years he was president OF the American
Steel FOundTies Company. When he
moved to New York he took the Pitts
burg millionaire pace, living in a &c.
600 apartment with his handsome young
wife. The Schwabs have two children,
a boy of nine and a girl OF three.
II is rumOred here that Mr.. Schwab
will emulate bis friend, William Ellis
Corey. president of United States Steel,
b. marrying celebrated stage beauty.
