INTELLIGENCE AND EDUCATION

Some public school systems substituting in
tegence tests for the old-fashoned examinations. In
Detroit the Intelligence test is applied to ali teach
eIs, by order of the school board.
There is a difference between book knowledge and
intelligence the intelligence is recognition
of that difference. An unschooed may be, and
often is an intelligent as Well educated because
BE picks up aud absorbs and makes part Of his
scousness every lesson Of experience everything he
reads and everything of value that he hears.
On the other hand. what is called education,
schooling Is too often merely piling Of facts in
brain like furniture n q storage house or fire.
cuently it is only pouring in Of facts. ike water
through q sieve. That is education.
The furniture OF the intelligent mans mind is
ranged It is not crowded or jumbed The inteni-
gent man often Knows more Of what's going in the
world that what's in books The exceptionally edu-
Gated man knows both books and life and book know

Aledo, Oct. 10.-Walter NJ. David
son, a farmer residing southwest If
Eliza, was accidentally burned to
death Saturday night about Z
o'clock while burning brush on his
farm.
Mr.. Davidson had been burning
brush all day Saturday and after
supper told Edward, his oldest sou,
who was preparing TO take the fam
lily to Aledo, that he intended to
finish the last pile of brush.
The family returned home after
midnight and it was not noticed
that the father was not at home
because Arthur, another son, slept
with his father and had stayed in
Aledo Saturday night. He was
missed, however at breakfast time
Sunday morning. Not being in his
room, members of the family look
ed in the barn to see if his pony,
which he always rode, was there.
Failing to find the pony, Edward
set out for the timber, where he
found his father burned almost be
yOnd recognition. He had been
able TO get most of his clothes of
in his struggle with the flames and
the rest had been burned off with
the exception of his shoes, which
were still on the body. Edward
Immediately returned to the home,

with him his brother-in-law, Louis

in which Mr.. Davidson's clothing
took fire, but Sheriff Fleming, who
visited the scene Of the tragedy,
yesterday stated he thought gaso-
line had been used in starting the
fire. However, it was a very windy
Saturday night, so that it would
have been an easy matter for his
clothing to take fire. The body was
found about fifteen yards from the
brush that he was burning and
garments were strewn along the
path, showing that he was fighting
to get his clothes off.
Coroner, A NJ. Mackey of AIedo

Davidson came to his death Ey
