Defining Education.

It seems to be about time that we had a
restatement of Our definition of education. We
are demanding things of the person we call
educated which We may have no right to de-
mand of him The tendency to look on the
educated as a superintendent seems to be a
hangover from the days when Oliver Gold
smith modestly confessed to yearning amidst
the SWANS to show my book-learned skill;
when he pictured the rustics ranged around
the village schoolmaster discoursing in words
Of learned length and laundering sound and
stH they gaze, and still the wonder grew that
one small head could carry all he knew"
The sum total of Ahings to be known has
Increased many hundredfold since those days,
so that even Goldsmith's village tastes might
be considered nothing remarkable From
this great store of knowledge the schools Sc
lect out certain things which are worth know
ing and attempt 10 impart them to boys and
girls. We can remember only small part of
what is thus learned and the chances are that
when we meet some one who has remembered
the same things which we have remembered
VIC call him educated. This, OF course is wrong
Some OF us may know things which We did
not learn in school, 1t is conceivable that a
man may be most excellent teacher in some
line without having heard OF Eli whitney. and
1t also is conceivable that one may be able to
answer all OF the Edison questions and still
be a failure as teacher.

Children Need Clothing.

The fall term of the public schools is soon
to open, and it has been learned that there are
scores of little folks who will be compelled to
remain at home unless they are provided with
wearing apparel by others than those to whom
they would be expected to look for those
necessities. Facts are in possession of officers
OF the Rock Island Welfare association estab-
fishing an unusually distressing state of affairs
in the city. The association is making an an

Davenport today acknowledges that the big

school was pointed out by the majority Of the
people there as a freak institution, the hobby

But Palmer knew his oil, as the auto driver

port is virtually at his feet
This week the Palmer school alumni re-
union is on in Davenport There are several
thousand graduates of the school in attend

With the students present at the school, the
convention represents the biggest gathering
ever entertained in the history of the city.

head Of the parade, and the homage of the

Southern states have been having their
troubles lately, Georgia among the rest But
everybody who thinks the Cotton Belt is sunk
in encouragement and apathy should consider
Cobb county. Two years ago that enterprising
county started systematic advertising cam
paign. It's main idea, apparently, was to ad-
vertise Cobb county-to itself and to the rest
Of the state, and to the world beyond All
of the towns engaged in the campaign. When
there seemed nothing especially to advertise
they just advertised themselves in general
But nearly always there was something par
ticularly timely to blaze forth, revealing their
superiority over all other towns. Their mer
chants chimed in with their ads, BOOSTING their
business with unprecedented vigor.
That was boom time. The point now is
that Cobb county has kept it up in dull times
and is reaping its reward, and will reap more.
These towns are presenting themselves through
the pages OF the county press, telling of their
development, news and prospects, while mer-
chants in well written advertisements appeal
for the trade of their territory 1t is all an
indication of real life that exists in the towns
in the county and about its edges-it serves
to bring them all closer together. The same
initiative on the part of the merchants in these
various towns indicates that things are not
dead in Cobb county, but that all around there
is pulsing, breathing ufe-that there are
good things ahead. There are good things
ahead for any community where all work to-
gether to boost intellgently for the common
good and keep plugging along just the same
in prosperity in adversely.

MigraiRe.
Periodic attacks of "migraine" or
sick headache are frequently q feat
ure in the family history. Deep stu
dents of the subject have called
migraine the "sensory equivalent"
Of epilepsy; that is to say, one
member of family has epileptic
seizures Of one type or another,
while some other member OF the
family will suffer with periodic
migraine seizures. Both diseases
seem to present no visible patholo-
gy; nothing to explain the disease
is discoverable post mortem. Both
diseases have an laura" or warm
ing; some peculiar sensation or feel
ing by which the victim knows a
seizure is imminent.
A few years ago one of the fore
most American abdominal surgeons
announced the discovery of what
he believed the cause of epilepsy,
namely, a bacillus which normally
inhabits the intestinal tract of man
and animals, and which is forced"
into the blood by the increased
pressure in the intestine which
happens to be partly obstructed by
some kink, or adhesion or other
condition causing stasis. In short,
the surgeon believed that intestinal
stasis was a usual cause of cpl
leptic seizures, and this belief was
the result of several incidents. In
operating for the relief of such
cases of intestinal stasis he dis
covered that a considerable num-
Der of the patients who happened
to suffer from epilepsy were great

sis was overcome by surgery.

theoretical explanations and theo-
retical remedies for sick headache.
am speaking now of actual treat
ment of the disease, and not mere
relief OF the attack. X-ray obser-
walton OF the digestion of a bismuth
test meal has demonstrated the
presence of a stasis in a goodly ma
jority of all cases of migraine or
sick headache. An incompetent
ileo-cecal valve is often found, and
this condition permits the residue

Thet way high school girls ought to dress
is worrying lot OF folks, mostly teachers But
the parents association of Indiana recently
pointed out where reform should commence,
namely, in the home. Misguided pride on the
part OF parents is responsible for the evil of
extravagant dressing among school girls. Mrs.
Smith wants her daughter to look a little bit
better than Mrs. Jones, and the result has
been a competition ruinous to the ideals for
which schools exist.
