BASKET BALL AGAIN.


Basketball practice has begun
again and although the team seems
somewhat out of order, we hope to be
able to win from Graham if we can
get them here Saturday, the 9th.
1t is still rather cool for base ball, but
some of the boys, contemplating
season in the box, have been getting
their arms into shape. The uniforms
have been decided upon, but as yet
the important question of finances
has not been settled, although several
plans for the solution of this prob
lem are being discussed. Heretofore
we have relied chiefly upon the lib
eral generosity of the enthusiastic cit
izens of the town, but in order that
we may not always appear helpless,
we contemplate giving a musical en-
tertainment for the benefit of the ath-
letic association. If this plan is adopt
ed, we trust that it will be success,
and not void of some amusement and
pleasure.
FIRE DRILL.
Professor Gollehon has instituted
fire drill and Judging from our first
attempt, our parents need not fear for
our safety as we succeeded in empty
ing the building in forty-seyen sec
onds. We are expecting this drill
again any day, but If fire should break
out we do not know what would hap
| pen to the teachers, as no provision
has been made for them. But doubt
less in such an emergency the splen-
didly equipped fire department of the
town would arrive in time to safely
effect their rescue.

Choosing Things Worth While.

But, above all. in a policy Of social
construction the educational system
must be successful in planting. water
ing and securing increase in the power
of forming economic judgments, in the
power of estimating values as higher
and lower. of comparing rightly flu
ture pleasures with those of the pres
ent, the permanent with the fleeing,
the spiritual with the material. Right
reasoning about what can be attained
by given effort, and what the Sa It's
faction thus attained is really worth,
as compared with other possible re-
suits from the same effort-this, i take
it, is prime function of social educa-
ton.
One other obvious end of education
may be named along with the impart-
ing of information and the develop
ment of capacity to use the mind and
the body. That is the forming of good
physical. mental and moral habits The
to is a conscious and sometimes a slow
and painful process. But after a while,
If the processes of our reasoning are
sound, particular judgment has
been formed so clearly or SO often. or
is so buttreSsed by authority, that it

obtains an ethical sanction. The con-
scious-reasoning process is no longer
necessary. Time is saved. Effort Is
saved. Wear and tear of tissue and
vital energy are saved.
NO doubt honesty was once the best
policy. There may be borderlands
where it is SO still. But for US and
our children honesty has ceased to be
a policy. 1t is an instinct, a habit of
mind. an economic judgment so often
made. SO clearly established. so author

than helps us to allude to its material
advantages.

Once Travelled on All Fours.

For a million years or so. no doubt,
we Travelled on all fours, as babies still
do, and now nature fails US sometimes
when we try to stand upright. For
million years or so salvation on earth
depended on ability to distinguish
friend from foe at a great distance.
Now, when the objects of our interest
and solicitude are nearly always at
eighteen inches from the eye instead OF
mile, we find ourselves handicapped
by an optical instrument fitted for the
distant but not for the near vision. We
subject ourselves to eye-stra1n, ana
have headaches, curved splnes and III
temper in consequence.
NO other mechanism in the world,
we are often assured, is so continuously
and fiagrantly abused-from ignorance.
from obstinacy, from carelessnesss
from parasitic enemies, from lndul-
gence of it's own eccentricities-as the
human body. Education for efficiency
implies instruction as to these ele-
mentary things-not anatomy and
physiology, though those are useful;
but cleanliness, respect for bodily func-
tons, coordination of muscles. repose
of nerves. Hygiene in all it's branches
is the first element in social education.
But the mind also Is useless save as
we have learned how to use 1t. To i'm
part information is no more to give the
mastery of the mind than to impart
food is to give the mastery of the
body. Certain drills are necessary to
make the mind rapid and accurate.
