MODERN EDUCATION.
It Falla to Instruct Upon Practical
and Vital Questions.
The most important thing in onr
modern life is completely left ont of the
ordinary education and only lightly
touched in any of our educational in
stitutions. It is the subject of econom
ics. When this subject is presented in
our advanced colleges, it is treated in
an abstract way—a “faraway” sort of
way—without application to practical
needs and with due regard for existing
institutions. The philosophy of money,
the principles involved in the transpor
tation question and the many questions
concerning land titles, land tenure, tax
ation, etc., are not taught. Yet these
questions enter into the daily lives of
us all, and they should be a part of the
common school education of every
American boy. One objection is that
they are too difficult. They are not
half as difficult as algebra or Greek. It
seems that “the powers that be” wish
a veil of mystery to shroud these ques
tions, just as the Indian medicine man
wishes to be protected in the monopoly
of the incantation business. The people
are made to believe that these questions
are “too deep” for the ordinary mind,
yet every college student and almost
every schoolboy solves more difficult
problems every day. I now have in
Blind a man who kept a fish stall in a
market house who has become immense
ly wealthy by giving some plain, every
day business attention to the economics
of street car transportation. And the
people are foolish enough to allow the
companies of this man to use the public
streets, which belong to the people, and
they pay 5 cent fares while the cost is
less than 2 cents. Even school children
are charged this exorbitant fare. The
city has spent millions for a magnificent
park, hut the poor, even the children
°f the poor, must pay a tribute to*tbe
street car company in order to go to the
park. The city would better have spent
less for the park and owned the means
for the people to get to it to enjoy it
£ut this need not be an expense, for a
Blight profit could be made at 2 cent
fares.
The general study of economics would
rapidly bring better conditions to the
masses. The farmer is the original pro
ducer and consequently the foundation
°f society. He has to contend against
two things—uncertain crops and un
stable prices. A proper solution of the
money question would render prices
comparatively stabla Yet the average
farmer is caught by “jingoism” and
cares more about the American flag
floating over distant islands than for
J* 8 Pressing and legitimate interests at
home.
A proper solution of the railroad
Question would not force coal miners in
ennsylvania to starve while the farm
ers of Nebraska are burning their corn
keep warm. A rational arrangement
°* DubMc transportation would bring
producers and consumers closer together,
to the great advantage of both. Yet the
attention of voters is kept on questions
of far less importance to them, and our
educational institutions continue miss
ing the mark by “pottering about” on
branches of little practical everyday
valne.
We pride ourselves on our schools
and colleges, on the universality of edu
cation in this country, on our newspa
pers and magazines and on the un
usually high intelligence of our people
as a whole, yet we do not apply the
same to our most vital interests. Public
utilities, such as transportation, the
telegraph, banking, etc., are left to the
management of private coteries, and,
of course, the management is in the in
terest of these private coteries, and, lo
cally, street car transportation, tele
phones and usually the water supply,
gas, electric lights, etc., are left to pri
vate ownership and operation, of course,
in the interest of the owners instead of
the public, though the streets belong to
the public. When will the people waken
np to these facts and cease to waste the
precious schooltime of youth on im
practical subjects and put that time on
subjects which involve the general good
of all? When will voter's cease to allow
their attention to be occupied by “flap
doodle,” to the neglect of the most vi
tal public interests, a proper manage
ment of which would vastly improve
the condition of all? —Dr. C. F. Taylor

Augusta, Ga., April 18.— A special
eleotion to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Mayor Patriok Walsh was
held here with only Charles A Robbe
la the field. The voting waa very light,
and unless one chanced to pass a voting
precinct he would never have known a
mayoralty election was in progtecs.
Robbe received 1,894 votes, about 2.000
lest than the white registration, and
864 blank votes were east by negroes as
a pretest against the white primary.
MORE AMERICANS TAKEN?
Rebel# Claim to Hot# Captured Over
a Hundred of Lawton's Men.
London, April 19.—The Filipino Eu
ropean junta claim* to have received a
cablegram from General Luna, “com
manding the Manila district,” direct
from Manila on Friday, declaring that
General Lawton, “whose object was to
proceed to Baler and effect a junction
with the Yorktown,” was inveigled by
the Filipino tactics into “perilously ex
tending his line with the result that a
column consisting of 140 officers and
men, on reaching a place called Binau
gonam, was ambushed by a large Fili
pino force, communication with the
main force was severed, and the entire
column was caplured. ”
The Filipino advices further assert
that General Lawton, who was at La
guna de Bay, on hearing the news, “re
tired to Manila, stating that he had
been recalled by Major General Otis on
the ground that a native rising in Ma
nila was imminent.” V
The foregoing is said to be a separate
affair from the disappearance of the
boat’s crew of the Yorktown in the vi
cinity of Baler.
The Filipinos also claim that they
have occupied the town of Zamboanga,
in the southern part of the island of
Mindanao, which was recently evacu
ated by the Spaniards, only a few of the
latter remaining to hand over the place
to the Americans.
The Filipinos are also said to have se
cured 7,000 Mauser rifles, all the ammu
nition and several Spanish gunboats,
which the rebels say they have navi
gated np the Rio Grande and out of
reach of the Americans.
THREE ORPHANS PERISHED.
Indiana Home Conducted by German
Mennonlt.es Destroyed.
Portland, Ind., April 19.—The or
phans’ home at Berne, in Adams county,
burned early this morning. A terrible
panic was caused among the 57 inmates
by the blaze. All were rescued, with
the exception of three, who were burned
to death.
The victims include:
Katie Dibbellaker, 14 years old, of
Cleveland, O.
Mamie Braddick, 15 years old, of Chi
cago, Ills.
Della Taylox, 7 years old, of Linn
Grove, Ills.
The fire started from a stove on the
third floor, and swept through the
building with great intensity. Many
of those sleeping on the third floor were
rescued by passing them from the win
dow to a portico on the second floor and
then to the ground.
The firemen worked for several hours
on the flames. The damage to the home
is estimated at $5,000. The home con
tained inmates from nearly all of the
central states. The institution is con
ducted by German Mennonites.
BURGLAR SHOOTS HIS PAL.
Bullet Intended Fora Policeman Who
Caught Them at Work.
New York, April 19.—1n trying to
shoot a policeman, early today, a burg
lar shot his partner in the neck, inflict*
a wound that is likely to prove fatal.
The wounded man is Charles Thom, 24
years of age, who lived with his parents,
respectable people, in a tenement over
the store which he and the other burg
lar were trying to rob when discovered
by a policeman. The man who did the
shooting escaped and Thom professes
not to know who he is.
Policeman Forster detected the burg
lars at work with auger and saw in the
hallway of the tenement trying to cut
their way into E. M. Berger’s cigar and
tobacco stores. As the policeman en
tered the hall one of the burglars ran to
the rear of the hall. The officer grap
pled with the other, who called to his
companion. “Charley,” to help him.
“Charley” returned and while the
officer and Thom were struggling fired
two shots at the policeman, missing
him, but striking Thom with one of the
bullets, which passed completely through
the neck, lodging under the skin on the
right side. Thom did not give up the
fight, however, until the polioeman
choked him into submission, and mean
time the other burglar escaped.
Thom was able, when brought to the
police station, to tell his story. He de
nied that he was engaged in burglary,
but alleged that he had started upstairs
to his father’s tenement when he was
seized by the policeman, who, in the
darkness, he did not recognize as an offi
cer. He fought and was shot, but by
whom, he says, he does not know.
Thom’s father says the young man is a
“bad egg.” __
FARMER CRUELLY WHIPPED.
He Traces Hie Asautlaats and Has
Them Placed Aider Arrest.
Unadilla, Ga., April 18. Henry
Olewis, a farmer living 7 miles west of
here, was taken from his home by a
crowd of men and badly whipped. Af
ter the mob had beaten Clewis unmer
cifully the men gave him instructions
to leave the country and departed for
their homes.
Clewis, determined to learn who the
men were, crept behind them until they
reached home.
Olewis, who is a peaceable citizen,
came upon the Boys, who were operating
a blind tiger, and they fearing he would
report them, sought to rid the country
of him.
Warrants were sworn out for seven or
eight. Three of the men were arrested,
two of whom turned state's evidence
and the ether was triad by Judge Fore
hand and found guilty and plaoed under
S4BO bond. ~
