This week is to be Educational Week over our entire country. The president of the United States, the National Educational association, and the American Legion are asking that it should be thus observed, and the educators should be glad to con- tribute their share toward educating the people concerning the aims Of our public school education. 1t is a well known fact that the people generally know less about their schools and their teachers than they do about their business, their farm or their profession, and yet the education of tEeir children is the most important business before them.
 It is the purpose of this brief edi- torial to give an outline of the aims of education in the various epochs of history. According to the authority of pr. Cubberly, of Stanforl UniVeI . sity. the aim of our earliest educa- ton in the realm of GreeK culture was that of educating and training the boys for the life of q soldier to serve the State. The Greeks, there fore, made education of the boy com pulsory, and took carge of 1t directly when the child had reached the age of five. The girl of those days was not considered worth educating. but was thrown out iO ulS m Nblt IOIeSl l. GOT be devoured by the wild beasts, or else to be the slave of men. It was Socrates who first tried to turn the Greeks from that path tntc one of considering the life of the individual as worth developing.
 But not until the Christian era did people begin to educate the individual for the sake of the individual. The teachings of the Christ pointed out the importance of the human soul this particularly for the sake of sal mean that the individual was of para mount importance in all the affairs of life, and therefore. to be educated for his own sake. TO be sure. under such a system, education came into possession of a very few. In tho Church. individuals stood out promi- nently as leaders and the masses oi the people were kept in ignorance that the leaders might exert author ity upon the masses. That led tC the Dark Ages.
 Following the Dark Ages, tho Church again took responsibility ot educat ting, not so much for the sak' of the individual but rather for th' sake of the Church. The people therefore that came under the influ' ence of the Church and had thu means for getting an education wer' the ones that received the best tha could be offered to them in that day Il was a return to the classical per iod of the Greeks and Romans.
 This tendency was the one tha was carried over into the American colonies with the immigration of tn
 Puritans, the Pilgrim Fathers, an, various other religious sects. Gu of that system we had our splendi Puritan schools of Ine New Englan
 state and the beginning of our larges universities in the East. but educa ton was made available for the fey who could afford to get it. On tn other hand, the Churches realize l that the peor among them should b

Educational Week in Phoenix

This is Educational Week in the United States. Ali of us, inhabitants of her inlands, coast-lands and archi- pelagoes, are asked by the president to give seven days thought to the business of training the young. How does the matter of education stand in Phoenix.
 To perhaps 10 per cent of our citi- zens the word 'schoor means taxes and nothing more. To the majority, possibly 75 per cent, school means the place where the children go dur ing the day. a vague glorified day nursery invented to help tired and nervous mothers. To yet others, school means a civic institution with buildings. teachers, an increasing en- rollment. and othe- praiseworthy ad juncts of a bit of machinery vital to civiliza tion of which one may boast and be proud
 But some small fraction of one per cent of the population Is stin to be accounted for. There are a few score people to whom "schoof means a standard of educational efficiency That group includes our principals, supertntendents, those teachers who are not hirelings. and some innocent bystanders-the salt of the educa- tionaI system. These folks sweat and plead for those impalpable elements in education without which there would be no schools worth levying one mill on the thousand dollars to support.
 As we rally to the call of Educa- tional Week. let it be to support these idealists-these ardent protagonists of the impalpa bles. Schools are not to be improved merely by raising more money for them and hiring bet ter teachers. Community attitude is the prime factor. No man is made holy by hiring a priest. No man is made wise by hiring experts and specialists So no community can have a school which kindles in its | youth the holy fire of intellectual | curiosity unless 1t shares in some [ measure in that enthusiasm. We | speak not of the rare exception, nor ! of what a Mark Hopkins or a Horace | Mann could do to arouse both pupils ! and parents, but of the average l Phoenix cannot become the Athens 1 of America. nor even a high grade school town" until We believe in l the ideal aims of education.

UNCLE SAM A GOOD SPORT

British people quick to appreciate sports nanshp.
 By all the rules of international opportunisrn, as they have additionally held good, the United States would have justified in driving home her post war advantage. She could have decided to build navy decisive superiority, and to present the world with fait accompli. She could have done it easily, and thereby have transgressed the accepted canons of international form.
 Instead she chose to organize conference with the object of arriving at understanding which would relieve both herself and her possible rivals of the tnsensate burden of competitive armaments. and by the same token would make good sense, and not brute strength, arbiter of the future Such is the true idealism of the United States.-George Glasgow in the New Republic.

Nevertheless, in his role as reporter for London newspaper Brooks one time had been called upon to write of concert critically.

The Herald, in common with many
Dillon county citizens. is glad the Pee
Dee bridge matter is about to be set
tied. The counties of Florence and
Marion have joined hands and will is
sue bonds and build a toll bridge
without government aid. This is the
way the matter should have been han
died from the beginning. Florence and
Marion will derive more benefit from
the bridge than any other two coun-
ties in the Pee Dee section, and they
will find it a profitable investment
Dillon is not very much concerned. A
bridge at any point on Big Pee Dee
from Cashway Ferry down to Brit
tons Neck would have suited Dillon
just as well. Dillon has an outlet to
the central and western part of the
state over the bridge at Cheraw and
bridge at any point down this way
will give us an outlet to the lower
part Of the state and what more
could we wish for?

Cooperative marketing Is one of
the most progressive movements that
has ever been launched in the history
of the agricultural industry. 1t is an
OF ganization Tin which cotton produc-
ers pool their interests and resources
for their own mutual benefit, and
In the states that have tried il out
where 1t is no longer an expert
ment-the results have been extrem-
ely gratifying. The association has
figures to prove that under the CO.
operative marketing plan the mem
hers Of the organization have sold
cotton at higher price than could
be obtained for the same grades un-
der old conditions. The association
has unlimited cash resources at It's
command and Is able to make liberal
advances on cottotn stored in their
warehouses. A farmer who is a mem
Der of the association does not have
to wait for his money. He ships his
cotton, turns the bill of lading over
to his home bank and the advance
payment is turned over to him imme-
diately. There is a short crop in Dill
lon county, and with the boil weeevil
facing us next year it is highly i'm
portant that we get every dollar for
this years crop it will bring. The
speakers will explain the plans at the
meetings to be held tonight and to-
morrow night at the places named
above. There is nothing compulsory
about the organization. Each man can
act for himself and after hearing the
plans explained a person can use his
own Judgment as to whether or not
1t will pay him to join the associa-
tion.

Carolina have earned so far this year
a fraction more than per cent on
their capital and surplus. which is not
a bad showing when one takes into
consideration the fact that banks have
had to pay such excessive rates Of in
terest on borrowed money. The state
ment shows vast improvement over
the last quarterly statement and in
dicates returning prosperity for South
Carolina. at least.

County Shows Heavy Ginnings.

According to the returns of Special
Agent s. w. Jackson there were gin
ned in the county up to September
25th. 1881 bales as against 1920
up to the same period last year. This
is probably the heaviest ginning up
to this date in the history of the
county. The weather has been excel
lent for picking and cotton has been
rushed to the gin as fast as it was
picked. 1t has been estimated that
Dillon county would make 10000
bales this year. but the ginning re-
port lowers this estimate and the
figures have been placed at $4,000
bales. 1t is said that more than half
the crop has been picked.

1t has been two years since the
armistice was signed but yet we have
failed to note any decrease in the
appeals for help from many of the
European nations which suffered
from the war. In fact, if we are to
believe all the reports that come from
over the water nearly the whole =
Europe is bankrupt and there are nc
signs of improvement. Relief agen-
cies continue to work overtime and
our wizards of finance and commerce
are still busy trying to solve foreign
problems. We think it is America S
duty to continue to give and help as
long as there is need for it, but isn't
there a possibility that the longer
we continue to give and help the Ion
ger 1t will take Europe to get on her
feet again? There is danger in being
too generous. Europe, it Is true, suf-
fered from the war, but Europe has
had an opportunity since the armistice
was signed to make two crops and
two crops ought to put any nation on
a self-sustaining basis. At the close
of the civil war the south was pros
trate. There was not food enough in
the south to sustain life. In addition
to the south's other hardships five
million slaves had been converted
from producers into consumers and
had to be fed and clothed, but the
south did not call on the world for
help. 1t would have spurned an offer
OF help from outside sources. The
south went to work and in few years
it was on its feet again. 1t labored un-
der great disadvantages and hard
ships. but the spirit of the southern
people could not be conquered 1t ap-
pears to us that the thing for Europe
to do is to get to work. America is
willing to help when help is neces-
sary, but there are times when mis-
directed charity is likely to do more
harm than good.
