Some Errors in Education.
We often wonder why it is that
the makers of Text Books do not
make their Readers useful in more
ways than in simply teaching the
child to read.
Why not have these reading les-
sons interest the child about his
body, his brain ; what is nourishing
for the body; what will give it
strength ; in a word hygene and diet¬
ary should be treated in our Readers
so that a child would know what
foods produced fat and what foods
produced strength, what foods were
good for an individual and what
foods were hurtful. We would
call the attention of the school
book companies to this matter and
hope they will take it up. It is
just as well to kill two birds with
one stone, as to kill only one.
Should the child,as many do, leave
school before he reaches a matur-
er age, when “Hygene and Anat¬
omy” is taught him, he knows
nothing about hygene, and less
about foods which he eats.
Hygene as now taught in the
text books is a fraud; it is coupled
on to anatomy, and both so written
that there is no pleasure in studying
either.
Another glaring error that we see
is putting off the teaching of draw¬
ing in our public schools until the
pupil is about ready to graduate.
Drawing is almost as indispens¬
able as writing, and when the lit¬
tle fellow is taught to write, he
should, at the same time, he taught
to draw.
While we educate let us edu¬
cate to the best advantage. One
thing we are glad to note,and that is,
our public schools are adopting
supplementary readers which teach
of nature; this is good, but they
should rather be made the principal
reader, than the secondary reader;
let us make our time as valuable as
possible and the things that we do
let us do them well in school as
well as out of school.
The Sparta Ishmaelite says:
One great trouble is that the South
buys too much and sell too little.
The balance of trade so-called, is
against our section. The necessary
consequence is poverty.
Yes, that’s so; but what are you
going to do aboutit? We can only
suggest one good remedy for this
great evil, and that is to cut the
whiskers offthe pops.
Col. Geo. P. Erwin, of Clarkes
ville, Ga., was in town last Fri¬
day. Mr. Erwin is candidate for
Secretary of Senate and will, in all
probability be elected. His many
friends in Hartwell will be highly
pleased to see him elected to the
position to which he aspires.—

CUBAN DEBT CAUSES HITCH
Peace Commission Strikes a Sna,
On the Question of Cuba’s In-
tiphtptinpcfi
Paris, P. • Oct. n 18. Hie ~ Gaulois . ., to-
day reviews “ yesterday’s session of
thejointpeace ~ commissions, -nmmiccJAnc and,
referring to the delay caused by the
difference in the language spoken
by the commissioners, adds :
-Bu,.according to the Spaniards,
the main cause of the difficulty en-
countered in the negotations comes
from the lack of conciliation in the
attitude of the American commis-
non. Itis known in regard to
•n Porto Rico and J f- Cuba 1 that ., the * ar-
tides of the protocol are absolutely
positive—Spain cedes Porto Rico
to the United States and relin .
quishes (abandons) sovereignty
over Cuba. These two points are
deffnitely sett led and are not open
to discussion.besides the
pulous'lyTde' by the.r 'engage-
ments towards their conquerors.
“The question of the Cuban debt
remains. Upon which power should
the onerous obligation of guarantee-
debt , , . ? „ Here . where , the
mg rest is
two commissions differ in the r
views and neither is inclined to
yie,d The Spaniards agree on the
following lines :
“When a power annexes terri-
tory, it is implied that it assumes
all the obligations previously of
such territory. It is international
law, sanctioned by usage, and
_ .
which has always been complied
with. Thus when France annexed
Savoy, she assumed all the debts
contracted by the latter while still
an Italian province.
“Lastly, they reminded their op-
ponents that Cuba is virtually the
key ^ ie Mexico, and a
strategic position of the first order
to the United States and an im-
mense advantage, which calls for
some sacrifice on the part of the
Americans.
“To this the latter replied at first
that they could not listen to any
discussion of the matter of the debt,
being under formal instructions
from their government. But on
the Spanish commission inssiting,
and in the presence of its very firm
attitude, the Americans have taken
a more conciliatory attitude, not
that they entertain the intention of
yielding to Spain’s injunctions,but
they consent to argue against the
Spanish position. These arguments
may be briefly summed up as fol¬
lows : ‘The Americans insist upon
the fact that the money raised by
the Cuban loans was not applied
to the requirements or interests of
the island, but was chiefly borrow¬
ed to the end of improving the
financial condition of Spain and to
procure funds which she could no
longer raise in the peninsula, and
the debt, therefore, is personal to
Spain.’
“On the other hand, the Ameri
cans say that America has no in¬
tention of annexing Cuba and could
not, therefore, assume such obliga¬
tions.
“Finally, it is held, that, owing
to the fabulous cost of the late war,
the American people would not
concede the right to thus assume
such ohligatious. 9 9
DAY STOPS QUIBBLING.
London, Oct. 18.—A dispatch
from Paris says :
“Monday the conference reached
a crisis for the first time. Judge
Day presented the demands of the
American commission in threaten¬
ing words. He said that delay
was the only possible object attain¬
able by the persistent efforts of the
Spanish commissioners to saddle
the United States with the Cuban
debt, and would be tolerated no
longer, as the United States would
neither assume nor guarantee any
part of the debt.
i 4 The Spaniards replied that this
placed Spain in a position of repu¬
diating or of reducing the face val¬
ue of the Cuban bonds trom 50 to
60 per cent, paying only half the
stipulated interest on the reduced
value. Before they would adopt
either alternative they would surren¬
der to the Unite States the entire
Philippines.
“Judge Day responded that the
surrender of the Philippines would
probably be demanded irrespective
of the Cuban or any other debt.
“This, to the Spaniards, the first
intimation of the United States as
to the Philippines, resulted in a
whispering conference, followed
by a request for an adjournment in
order to communicate with Madrid.
Judge Day said that President Mc¬
Kinley had instructed him to de¬
mand the entire surrender of Porto
Rico.”

streets and formed in the square
opposite the palace.
At ii =40 a.m. General Brooke,
Admiral Schley and General Gor-
don, the United States evacuation
commissioners, came out of the pal-
ace with many officers and formed
on the right side of the square.
The streets behind the soldiers were
thronged with town people, who
stood waiting ” in dead silence. At
last the city clock struck the hour
of twelve, and the crowds, almost
breathless and with eyes fixed upon
the flagpole, watched for develop-
ments.
At the sound of the first gun from
Fort Morro, Major Dean and Lieu-
tenant Castle, of General Brooke’s
staff, hoisted the stars and stripes,
while the band played the “Star
Sprangled Banner. 9 9
All heads were bared and the
crowds cheered. Fort Morro, San
Cristobal and the United States
revenue cutter Manning, lying in
the harbor, fired twenty-one guns
each.
Senor Munoz Rivera, who was
president of the recent autonomist
council of secretaries, and other
officials of the late insular govern¬
ment, were present at the proceed¬
ings.
Congratulations and handshaking
among the American officers fol¬
lowed. Ensign King hoisted the
stars and stripes on the intendencia,
but all other flags on the various
public buildings were hoisted by
military officers. Simultaneously
with the raising of the flag over the
captain general’s palace many
others were hoisted in different
parts of the city.
The work of the United States
evacuation commission is now over
and all the reports will be forward¬
ed to Washington on Thursday
next. The American commission¬
ers worked without the least delay
and in the most thorough and effec¬
tive manner.
Troops Embark For Manilla.
San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 17.—
Troops from CampMerriam, to the
number of eight hundred, marched
through the streets today to embark
on the steamer Senator for Manilla.
They comprised the third battalion
of the Twenty-third infantry, re¬
cruits for the Seeond Oregon and
battery D of the California heavy
artillery. The camp was broken
early, and the men took up their
march to the Pacific street dock,
where they arrived at 11 o’clock.
The Senator is scheduled to put
to sea on the high tide at i o’clock
this afternoon. There are seven
United States transports in port.
The arrival of the Zelandia and
Pennsylvania has made it possible
to send all the remaining troops at
the Presido away in a bunch, and
the chances are that they will be on
the wayb efore next week.
The remains of Chaplin Freeman
of the Baltimore, who committed
suicide at Nagasaki, Japan, and
which were brought over by the
Zealandia, will be shipped to Lo-
gansport, Ind., today.
