FIRST HUNTER UNDER NEW

Hunter, first hunter to be appointed
under the new state law doing away
with state bcunties on predatory ami
mails and appropriating $4,000 for
hiring of hunters, has been assigned

Louis Knowles of Rapid City, who has
charge of the work, according to an
announcement issued here. Coyotes
and bobcats are quite mero I'm
the region and at times of heavy
snowfall the coyotes kill many deer.
Hunter will devote his time ia trap
ping chiefly. "The attorney general
OF the state" said MIR. Knowles. has
declared the new law constitutional
and we are going right ahead with II.
Slow, though at first because / want
to get real hunters, not men who
merely want a pleasant outing AZ the
expense Of the state"

SOCIAL SALVATION
THROUGH EDUCATION

Nothing we hear reiterated with
more frequency, more emphatic in
sistence and more complacent assur-
ance in our days than education will
infallibly cure the many social ills
from which we are suffering and
which so far have baffled all the eff
forts of mankind. Education, ii is
confidently asserted, will bring about
the much desired reconciliation be-
tween capital and labor; 1t will free
us from political corruption and put
an end to violence; IL will punish
crime and reduce the number OF
divorces; 1t will stop wars and usher
In a reign of uniyersal-co-operation
1t will decrease the recurrence of ac-
cidents and conquer disease. 1t will
launch us on the road to progress and
achieve most marvellous results.
There Is nothing education might not
accomplish. IL Is the cure-all, the
wonderful panacea. All we need is
more education. At last we have dis
covered the great remedy!
We speak Of education as IL IL were
some magic power that transformed
everything by its mere touch; that
NSasa aSNNAipiiSh tuiu6S III 6Dutt uiyS-
FERROUS, unaccountable manner; that
exercised some superhuman, miracu-
lcus potency. Some speak of II with
a certain breathless awe as a savage
speaks of his fetish, which he believes
endowed with preternatural powers
and possessed of unknown forces. To
hear some educators talk, one would
imagine hat education was a creative
agency that could bring forth order
out OF chaos, light out of darkness,
beauty out of ashes and good out of
evil. II Is extolled as the great dy-
manic that will renew the face of the
earth and regenerate the human race.
Truly, strange powers arc at~tribuated
to this subtle entity. II is hailed az
the source of our redemption, from
which everything good comes
This is one Of the many instances
of. the confusion of modern thought
and the ~1ooseness of modern terminv
clogy. When we write a word with
a capital letter, we fancy that by this
easy process we convert 1t into a
magic force that can do things; we
think that we have given it a life OF
it's w and that now we a sit
down and watch II perform miracles
for our benefit. II Is just that attitude
which cur modern generation has as
sumed towards education. We may
look calmly to the future and leave
our troubles ito education; 1t will
solve all our problems.
But here is the fallacy: we fiatter
ourselves that by education we can
give to others something which we
do not have. The real fact Is that
by education we can only put into the
heads and hearts Of the coming gem

CARS WITHOUT
LIGHTS COLLIDE
Two Fords Smash Together on Mid.
State Trail Friday Evening.

Merle Campbell was seriously in
jured and three others suffered minor
injuries In a collision ON the Mid
State Highway Oil Friday evening.
when two Ford touring cars, both
travelling without lights. coli'ded
about two miles north Of town.
Campbell in company with his
brother, was coming to town from his
home several miles north. The other
car which was occupied by a young
man named Richards and two COM
panions, was going north, the party
being On their way to a dance.
According to Campbell's story he
saw the other car approaching, but,
being on the right side of the road
himself, did not turn out, thinking
that the other car would do SO. In
stead, the car continued to come
straight on, and the two rammed head
on, throwing young Campbell through
the windshield, cutting a severe cash
in his throat, and just missing his
jugular vein. His bother, who was
driving, suffered bad bruises about his
knees.
The occupants of the other car
were badly bruised from the impact
and n of them suffered a severe
on the cheek from flying glass.
Young Campbell was in a very
weak condition from loss OF blood.
and was taken to the local hospital
for attention. He was recovered
in several days to leave
there and is now staying with friends
in this city until he is completely
recovered.

BY E d. J. QUILI.AN

hearts. Education makes no new be-
ginnings; 1t merely transmits what
already exists. Through II, we com
municate TO posterity the truth which
we possess and the ideals which we
have cultivated. Unless, therefore,
we have truths to impart and ideals
to inculcate, education will remain
empty and barren. II can effect
nothing; IL will correct no abuses and
remedy no evils. II will leave things
precisely rs they are. IL will not ad-
vance mankind, but will leave IL toll
ing iaboriously in a treadmill. And
that is exactly the indictment that
has been made against modern educa-
ton; 1t has been charged with bar
renness and futility.
In education, IL Is not the process,
but the content, that counts. You
get out of education only what you
put into it. III you have no solid and
sound truths and no exalted ideals
of duty to put into II, you will vainIy
strive to get anything out of It; you
will be beating the air and threshing
empty straw. The latter occupation
may produce much noise and create
the o-tward appearance OF vigorous
activity, but for all that IL gets NJ
results. In vain do we pin our faith
and hopes to education, IL we do not
give 1t a substantial and sound on
tent. Now, unfortunately, our times
have rejected those very truths and
~repudiated those very ideals that
could, and would, make education a
mighty influence for good and a pot
ent lever for the uplift of mankind.
III we wish to do something for the
coming generation and prepare the
reconstruction of human society, we
will have to give education again q
full, rich and inspiring content and
save 1t from degenerating into an
empty process and becoming a mere
form without a soul.
We are the last to belittle the tre-
mendousxr possibilities of education
and its inaerent power to cure human
ills; bue we are also aware that its
power for good Is proportionate to
the amount of truth which IL conveys
and nowise dependent on some mys-
terious and mystical quality which 1t
possesses. BY all means, therefore.
more education; but education with q
definite and dogmatic content: educa-
ton that illumines the mind by b
truths which tt impatts: that In
spires the will by the lofty ideals
which 1t proposes; that stirs the
heart by the powerful motives to
which 1t appeals. Education with
God and Christianity In it--that is the
! kind or education which we need. OF
that education too much cannot be
said. In that education we may put
our trust; for 1t will prove the saliva
ton of mankind, bring back decency
and respect OF law. check the spread
