The Second Article on This Important Sub ject From Prof. Hendricks. In my first article on this sub ject, I found I could not do more than give a definition of Educa tion and merely suggest an idea or two as to who the chi dren really are. In this article I pro pose to go at once into the rea son that answer my question. It would be manifestly the height of folly to undertake to educate beings not susceptible of development. If human beings possessed mere instinct alone as do the lower orders of animals, our systems of schools might as well be abandoned. But won derful faculties capable of al most infinite development are our heritage. The design of the great creator is most manifest in us. In as much as our ex istence here is to be one con tinuous struggle for mastery over the forces, of nature and the things about us, according to God’s great first decree, it is most fit and proper that this struggle should begin with birth and end only in death. We are not like the birds, beasts or fishes. Nearly ail of them are as wise on the first day of their existence as they shall ever be. The young bird may n n away from the nest with the egg shell on his back. His muscles respond just as readily then as they ever do. The young lambs spend their first days skipping and frisking on the hill side in the beautiful sunshine. Like wise the others of the brute creation. But not so with man, absolutely helpless, he must kick ten thousand kicks before he develops strength and control The Douglas Enterprise. sufficient to st; nd upon his feet, after or u r less falls, numerous bumps and thumps, he passe.- the control of his locomotior over to various, secondary nervt centers that the brain may bi free to look after more import ant matters. Now I wish t< suggest that the development oi the mental and moral faculties of man is no more rapid than ir that of his physical being Therefore, on account of the fact that so much time and effort are required for anything like a proper development of our be ings, because we are required bj the creator to subdue and havt dominion over all other created things on our earth, and because we can not successfully ac complish in the uncultured state my of the high purposes mani fest in our creation, it is our bounden duty to begin early this all important work and continue it unremittingly so long as op portunity will allow if we are to fulfil even in a slight degree th< high destiny of the race, I hav ( given my strongest reason first Will give some more practica ones in my next. Very truly, J. Walter Hendricks. It Is Dangerous to [Neglect a cold. llow often do we heat it re marked: “It’s only a cold,” and i few days later learn that the man is on his back with pneumoni.
