ONE VIEW OF EDUCATION.

At the National German American Teachers
convention, held in New York City, June 80 Rep
resentative Richard Bartholdt of Missouri adj
dressing the assembly, said "The brains of our
school children should not be weighed down with
unnecessary ballast" As an illustration he pointed
to the instruction on physiology, which he de-
nounced as indecent and Objectionable, and de-
plored the 'lack of moral training in our public
schools"
When and where are the educators of our coun-
try going to stop? Nearly every year they seem
to add new study to the curriculum which is al
ready topheavy. The minds of our children are
crammed as tight as the straps are drawn which
hold their many books Their heads just like their
arms, are weary of the burden forced upon them.
The public schools of this country press upon
the scholars, even of the infant grade, a number
of useless studies. The effect upon their young
minds is like unto a crop Of densely sown corn
The plants crowd and kill one another, or prevent
growth beyond an immature development which
yields no fruit So little time is given to any one
subject that the impression created in the pupils
mind is so slight as to be totally unable to pre-
vent erasion by the succeeding lesson. A few min
utes of grammar wipes out the previous few min
utes of history. And so throughout the day. There
is nothing taught thoroughly. Too many things
are attempted and too little is done
Six months after finishing the twelve years
course, very few, even Of those who are able to
complete it. boast of any satisfactory knowl-
edge any subject. Even their knowledge
of the simple elements of education is affected by
the examining process, and becomes Indifferent
About half the time spent in the primary and
high schools of country is dead waste There
are some things that can be learned by child.
some things which can be learned by youth, and
some things which be mastered only by man.
A child may learn to write as well as a person of
maturer years. A child may also become an agree
able reader. The process in each case is merely
mechanical The child may learn the elementary
use of figures for this involves only the easiest
mental process. Geography also may be studied.
but the rules of grammar, repeated by the child
cannot but be the utterance of parrot When the

HoNORS.

The great American people have for many
years looked upon the custom in England of be-
slowing honors upon the distinguished sons of the
empire as a good deal of farce. There is pretty
well founded belief that about half of these hon
ors-perhaps more than half-are bestowed prirci-
pally account of the recipients wealth. which
makes for social leadership and that in some eases.
at least, the honor and title are bought outright.
We don't know that there is any sound reason for
ths lelief, but that it is pretty well established
in the minds of the American people Cor some Of
them) is beyond question. The fact of the matter
is, the recognitions bestowed by the king are very
similar tc those bestowed by the American colleges
and universities and probably with as fine dis
elimination.
There is only this difference between the Ameri-
can and British honors: Whereas, in England
peerages, baronetcies and knighthoods are be-
slowed by the crown in America the honorary de-
gree of doctor of laws or sciences is bestowed by
the schools. II in England some honors are be-
slowed because of political distinction the same is
true in America, where it is unusual for president
to serve out term without having some distnc-
ton thrust upon his willing shoulders.
The bestowal of these honors. either in Eng
land or the United States. is really happy way
of recognizing superior mental attainments or
achievements In both countries the roll contains
the names of those who have achieved fame in lit
erature, music, the drama, the arts and sciences,
and in most cases the honors have been worthily
bestowed There is not much difference between an
English knight of this day and an American titled
by unversity-only that the average Britisher
feels more important about his distinction than
does the American.

accept the certainty that shame, disgrace and sor
row will sooner or later enter their home. How
ever harsh the prophecy may sound it is only
question of time when the daughter or daughters
will not be manageable. If it be not in Novem-
Der, 1909 it will be in June, 1910-not longer.
The drunken who sleeps on hot Goals must
nurse his bGsters and the father who is blind to
his daughters danger welcomes broken heart
With the Scotch poet he may "wave the quantum
of the SIM" but he and his family may not escape
the memorable fate of public opinion.
Let the parents who love their daughters keep
them at home o nights; or, if young men be per-
mitted to escort them to places of amusement. let
the parents know something of the character of
the young men.
For the birds of prey who lie in ambush for
the fedgelings as they leave their home for the
first time there ought to be no room in society
These night-hawks threaten the social fabric at
its foundation. The man who will entice young
girl from the path of duty and virtue, who will
ply her with liquor to more easily accomplish her
ruin, is devil. There is no apology which he can
make; reparation, apology, no remorse is
expected from his devil nature If he pleads in
extenuation that the girl tempted him, he should
know that she tempted him to play the basest role
assumed by Hindoo thug or Corsican assassin.
Innocent or guilty. according to his own can
of conduct he is still a monster feeding on
female prey and living at the dire expense of So
cial peace.

SUPERSTITIOUS CURES.

The Los Angeles Times last week enjoyed a
loud laugh over the credulity of Mexican peon
who asked his priest for few drops of the olive
oil which burned before the Blessed Sacrament.
He suffering from bad sprain and believed
the sanctuary oil would help him. The Times in
dulges in a loud gufaw and hints that only among
ignorant Roman Catholics may be found examples
of such gross superstition. The Los Angeles paper
Is advertising its own ignorance and had better
ego slow"
The Anglican Bishop of Bedford-Protestant
England-is quite at home among his own people
and knows them in sickness and health. In an ar
tcle he contributes to the Church Times he gives
some curious examples of the still prevalent super
stition as to charms against sickness, among the
rural and village population of his diocese For
many years he labored in a country parish in
Shropshire and the remedies believed to be eff
cacious in many complaints were as wonderful as
the hoodoos of African fetichism, and absolutely
surprised him.
In case of whooping cough for instance,
mother would send her coughing child to a tow
path of canal to wait for a certain boat and
ask the captain of the boat-who was seventh
son--to cure her. Another popular remedy was to
pass an ailing child over and under briar branch
seven times; another horrible thing was to draw
three yards Of black ribbon through the body of
a frog and wear it around sore throat and an
other cure for the whooping cough was to make
the child breathe into frogs mouth 1t was also
supposed that riding piebald horse would charm
away skin disease The Bishop had seen woman
of his congregation protesting to charm away
tumor the lip of another woman with elder
pith which was gathered at night under full
moon making at the time of some words
which taught her by witch A farmer who
had the toothache killed gander and applied its
liver to his cheek. These, the Bishop tells u.s. are
only few of the supersttions that had come under
his notice in the comparatively small parish of
Shropshire alone. Unless the Los Angeles Times
man be atheist he can't afford to throw stones
at Catholic Mexico. If he be of the Protestant
Episcopal church let him now take his medicine
like little man.

THE WAGES OF SIN.

A young girl, born here and educated in our
schools, with her parents consent frequented night
after night, the pleasure resorts and dancing plat
forms of our summer attractions. At one of these
resorts she met a young man who accomplished her
ruin Each party to the pitiable affair assumes
all the good manners, the politeness and virtues
of young Americans, and the public is RECALLED
with long and prurient accounts recording the
girls shame and downfall. The girl in public
court unblushingly enters into the details of her
seduction, and the scoundrely young man with
GOODNESS and delberation gives his side of the
wretched story, declaring that the young woman
was to blame.
Only few days ago another young girl made
an attempt on her own life in a Satair bathing
stall, unwilling to face the shame of her condi-
ton, and last Thursday girl, is years of age.
attempted suicide for the same reason.
Well what are you going to do about it?
Nothing. Only it occurs to us to point moral.

THE TYPHOID FLY.

People generally should cooperate with the To-
cal and state health authorities in the enforcement
of the regulations looking to the determination OF
the deadly typhoid fly, and should lend every pos
sibe assistance to the doctors in their efforts to
prevent the spread of contagious diseases through
this most fruitful agency of disease dissemination
It is known now beyond the possibility of doubt
that the fly is product of filth 1t lives in filth
is born in filth and remains in filth throughout It's
normal existence. It cannot be separated from its
18th, for the dirt sticks to it, and wherever it
crawls it leaves a trail of vileness in its wake
According to a newspaper article, microscopic
examinations of number of these typhoid flies,
the erstwhile innocent house fly showed that they
carried with them from $50 to 100000 (you may
count them if you wish germs of various diseases,
Of which the germs of typhoid fever predominated.
At the medical convention at Atlantic City the
opinion was expressed and accepted by most of
the doctors present that impure water is the most
potent cause of typhoid fever. After water comes
milk, and after the milk, the principal cause OF
contagion is the insects, of which the fly is the
most common. From this, it is apparent that these
three things should be looked after most assidu-
ousy.
The tests of our state chemist show our water
supply to be good; among the best in the coun-
try The diaries are looked after by officials of
the state and there is no reason why the milk sup
ply of the city should not be clean and wholesome.
if the laws are enforced and the regulations lived
up to. And now that the effort is being made to
put check on the typhoid fy's activities, every
encouragement should be given to the leaders IN
the fight by the people of the city.
F'v paper costs little money and fly poison
sufficient for season can be bought for a mere
trife though the use of poison in households
where there children imposes a responsibility
that should in case be overlooked But the great
est assistance can be rendered by little work of
cleaning up, and this should be done by all means
voluntarily, by everybody, and if not voluntarily,
then compulsion should be exercised by the health
authorities.
