A Liberal Education.

= Il
1t may be admitted that a liberal
education olnbodies three distinct
phases. viz:
l. A knowledge of past and cur
rent events in the worlds progress.
q An intimate acquaintance with
some part of the store of human
knowledge.
3. A development of the magma
ton and the power to discover truth.
and the ability to clearly express
thoughts and emotions.
Under what conditions can the
foundations of such an education be
most advantageously laid?
At the present time there seems
to be disposition in certain quar-
te,rs. to decry the rural school, where
the same teacher in the same room,
hears numerous recitations, covering
practically all the grades of common
school work
1t may be conceded that the pupils
ficm these rural schools When they
first become tuition scholars in the
high schools of the towns and cities,
as many of them do, are not quite as
proficient as those who have passed
regularly through the different ROBINS
of graded school. This ws-@ay may
be true when these county boys and
girls commence tbeir high school
work with, their>city cousins, but ii
is not true the finish. We ven
ture to assert, without fear of con
tradi,tfon, that the tuition scholars
frsm the rural schools carry off fal
more than their proportionate share
of the honors bestowed by the higf
schools of the country.
Is. it not probable that the rura
school has its advantages as well as
= some disadvantages?
May not the young children, in The
primary classes Of the rural schools
get beneficial ideas from the retita
tons in their presence and hearing
OF the classes in grammar. histor,
and written arithmetic? And ma.
not these ideas, thus early obtained
help them later on when they cons
to that part of their school work?

A general caause VIII be made in

residing along the road viii not have
a coEFeneu, schelGla 20 ana from
this city which, il IS expeetes. w.ll
ring forth q k.ck
The schedule. al advance copy Of
winch has b en- received in the city,
shows that the only train from Bruins
wick viii leave the city at p. m,
arriving in Atlanta at 7.35 the follow
ing morning. The only train from At
lanta and intermediate points for
Brunswick, win leave Atlanta at $50
p. m, arriving at Brunswick at $50
the following morning
The train which now leaves this city
at a. m. viii be discontinued alto
gether, while the train which has here
tofore arrived in the city at $40 D. m.
will likewise be discontinued
The discontinuance of these two
trains means another serious blow TO
this city At present people at Dou-
glas, Fitzgerald, Cordele, and in fact
all stations this side of Cordele, can
come to Brunswick on the morning
train. spend the entire day here. and
return to their homes at night while
Brunswick people who have any bus
mess at stations on the line can leave
the city at 6 a. m, spend the day on
the road and return that night.
With only one train each way how
ever it viii take two full days to go
even to Fendig, 25 miles cu.
and return
Brunswick merchants have built up
quite good business with stations
on the A., B. & A., between here and
Douglas, but this new schedule will
probably cause them to lose it, as the
travelling statesmen from the city will
be greatly handicapped by the very
inconvenient schedule.
1t will also play havoc with the
summer travel to the city from A, b.
& A. points st. Simon is a popular
resort for people along the line and
they have been coming down in large
numbers for the past two or three
summers, but, with only one train q
day, they will. no doubt, seek some
other resort.
1t is noticed in the schedule, how
ever, that Waycross and other points
will still have two trains day to and
from Atlanta. Thus Brunswick is dealt
another blow by its pet railroad sys-

Prefer Suicide 10
Loss of Home

Chatellon- sur-S Seine, France, April
30.-A pathetic story of poverty comes
from nearby village In a little
cottage there resided three old people,
two brothers and sister, named Pi-
mel, aged 6S, 20 and "a. They were
all single, and they had lived together
for years, the brothers being employed
as repairers of antique furniture AS
the brothers advanced in years. taer
hands lost their cunning; besides, their
general health failed. AS a conse-
quence work was not brought to them.
The landlord of the house pressed
them for rent, and the tradesmen be
came clamorous. Finally an execution
was put in. The furniture was seized
and the aaetioneer turned up at the
cottage to take an inventory for the
sale. He received no assistance from
the aged brothers and sister, for he
found all three dead in the same room.
They had committed brothers by suf-
location rather than see their little
home broken up.

Not to Create Any Such Demon

New York. April 3Q.-rhornton
Hams, brother Of Peter c. Hams. who
himself was few months ago ac-
quilted of being an accompl.ce in the
murder Of William Annis, was among
the Witnesses placed on the stand by
the defense today in the trial Of his
brother.
He startled the court by screaming
at the top of his voice in initiating
the cries OF Peter Iiains when Ae
heard Of his wifes inhdelity. So loud
We're the cries OF the witness that sew
eral people on the outside of the court
room came rushing into the court
room, fearing that some one had peen
killed or seriously injured.
Justice Garrettson cautioned Hains
against repeating such demonstrations
He described in every detail his
brothers action when he heard that
his wife had made a confession of
being intimate with Annis
Counsel for the defense greatly
surprised the state today when at the
end of the examination of Thornton
Hans, they permitted him to tell in
detail OF how Annis was shot by his
brother. Just why the attorneys for
the defense did this was not conceiy
able but they doubtless had some
good reason.
