was already doomed to failure The spirit of re-

Mrs. Girling did not hesitate She climbed down
INTO that well, gripping the slippery stone sides
with feet and hands and then she climbed out nv
the same wet, dangerous path, but somehow with
her baby boy in her arms Hurrah
That night the other baby was born.
Enthusiastic people in all parts of the country
wrote her letters and sent her kilograms and
flowers and other gifts. Somebody called the
attention of the Carnegie Hero commission to the
case, but that body has calmly ukased that she
is not entitled to the medal of herosm
All right. And all we have to say that Mrs

EDISON TROUBLES THE scHoLAsT1cs-

Some time ago Thomas Alva Edison the great
est experimenter and inventor of ali ages found
that he needed new brains in his huge business
IN which brains are the principle raw material"
In order TO get these brains he prepared LIST of
questions ranging "Where is Mapdalena
bay" to What fabric is used in automobile tires"
and Who was Bolivar" These questions COW
cred all important fields OF knowledge geography
physics, chemistry, photography, literature
group OF college men applied for the positions Of
tered, attempted to answer the questions and
found they knew less than half of them Edison
expressed an opinion that college men "wernt
so much after all and the educators of the ma
ton got their dander up considerably and started
saying lot of unpleasant things about Mr.
Edisons mentality.
The controversy, if it can be called that has
consumed already as much white paper as Elm
TENS theory OF RELATIVELY and the real point
seems to be almost little understood The
magazines and the daily newspapers are carry
ing on the discussion, pro and con- with consid
cradle enthusiasm. 1t makes good reading in
'hese quiet times when nothing is happening
more important than the destruction of civiza-
ton the reconstruction of Mexico, and the col
lapse of industry.
The misunderstanding seems to center around
the object of Mr. Edison's test It was intended
to- discover the intellectual capacity of the appli-
cants rather than the mental ability There is
lot OF difference between intellectually and men
tality The first is rated by the fund of know
ledge; the second by the ability to think Edison
wanted to find out how much those men KNEW.
not how much they capable of learning. He
found that they didn't know much He did not
find, or has he thought he found that those men
were stupid or unintelligent.
The real meat of the thing that most people do
not understand the purpose of education. Edu-
cation is not primarily intended to give fund
OF information and fact Anyone who can read
can amass information, knowledge, without go
ing near a school. Education is purposed to teach
people how to THINK. Its object is to train
minds to use the knowledge and information they
can collect outside of school rooms In teaching
student how to think he is given, incidentally
certain amount of information, pure facts.
knowledge But that is incidental not the
main thing in education

THE WORLD LOVES A GAME LosER-Tt


Leaders editorial columns usually filled with
recitals of the feats of winners and whatever
meager suggestions the Leader can make as to
now fitzgerald and its surrounding section be
made winner. Life is too short to pay much at
tention to defeat and loss Defeat and loss are
the exception. Victory and gain are the rule
Else the world would not progress 1t does pro-
gress. That is prima facie evidence that success
IS the general rule of life
But in building up their is also tearing down;
IN the general trend Of humanity toward success
and achievement there are some who are left bv
the wayside, some losers whose losses make the
gains OF the winners seem more worth the effort
by comparison. Even winners lose sometimes
And It is the losses that really prove the man, or
Z the community or the nation. A game loser is a
winner suffering momentary set back. The world
loves success 1t loves the game loser for the same
y general reason. The game loser is success
In the course of life time it is inevitable that
one must suffer loss well as gain. A little ad-
sversity is the blue fame that tempers the baser
metal OF man into fine steel. The man who can
s take his losses with smile, or even with forced
grin, and can start over again to build success
s cut OF failure will win success and more he will
win the respect of his fellow man.
But the loser who bears his losses with bad
temper, who hates the who has won and
ssekssreyenge against his more able adversary, is
tasuTe. He. is failure matter how much
material gam he may pile up tempo-a-;'.s ~ Zen
n his prosperous moments he is simply a
failure tnioying momentary and undeserved, and
unlastngs success.
There Is all the difference in the world beween
the Never say die" the Never give up" spirit
that has carried thousands through the shoals of
us e safe and quiet harbor of prosperity more
'ierence than can well be said between that
spsrt and thesniean and little spirit of the man,

A BRILLIANT FUTURE FOR BEN HILL

A BRILLIANT FUTURE FOR BEN HILL
COUNTY-ln Mondays Leader there was a
a little story on the front page about the action
OF the boards of trustees Lynnwood and Ash
. ton IN increasing the appropriation for teachers
salaries and voting to make certaihe improvements
IN the school equipment. That was Just another
OF the lamp posts along the route of Ben Hills
road to success, light flashing to show that the
electric current is flowing underneath A few
years ago those lights used to be seldom seen
Now they flash frequently and brightly, forming
verltabe white way along the road of progress,
because Ben Hill county is progressing fast
After Lynnwood and Ashton schools have
operated on eight month basis for one wear
with an improved staff of teachers and the other
better things they going to have this next
year, the good mothers and fathers of other dis
tricts are going to be more ready to fall in the
procession toward better things and consolidate
their schools with better schools and give their
. little Johnny and Mary better chance in life.
The people of Ben Hill county are at heart an
ambitious and progressive people. They want
better things but they have got to be shown. On
I the shoulders of the estimable and able men on
the school boards and at the head of the school
system IS heavy burden of responsibility in
SHOWING the people what can be done and
what good can come of doing it.
There is no more important post that man
can hold than post of responsibility in the
public school system. Civilization is supported
on three man made pillars-the home, the church,
and the school. The church can not be improved
through outside agency. 1t must grow from the
inside A mans home is his castle and can be
changed or improved only by its lord and master
ne school room is the only open field in which
the battles OF civilization can be fought for all
classes and all creeds. The success of the work
in the school room is reflected in church and
home The two are improved by the improve
ment OF the third. The quality of the contribu-
ton made by the home to humanity is improved
by the kind of folks the schools send back to the
homes The quantity of service that the church
can render to humanity is increased by increas-
ing the individual effectiveness of the work of its
members Education and religion, religion and
s education, go hand in hand The soul deveopes
with the mind the mind with the soul
That the people OF school districts in Ben
Hill county had the courage and the ambition to
force through Improvements and to increase their
taxes in these so-called tight times is a wonder
ful evidence of the good work that has already
been done in Ben Hill county 1t is promise of
more good work to come
