"It is a well-known fact that one may of ten be too close to the object at which he is Icoking to see it well.

"The idea of education is not a new one: under one name or another, sometimes obscurely, sometimes distinctly, the notion of development develop-ment through educational processes is traceable in the most ancient literatures of the world.

Address, tYBtotf l DE. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. Restores M gent people. The most cultured I nat loo of t he ancient world never so much as dreamed of universal eduea-1 eduea-1 tioti; and that nation's greatest j philosopher, teacher and statesman, j when painting a glowing picture of an ideal republic whose foundations , were to be laid in education, represented repre-sented the common people, the i workers, as the ignorant, untutored puppets of a highly cultured aristocracy. aristoc-racy. Surely, we say, the world has moved a long way since then, and such pagan ideas could find no lodgement lodge-ment in any intelligent mind of our progressive era." j "Universal education in-Germany : dates only from the Napoleonic wars; ! and its object in that country has been to make intelligent soldiers and subjects rather than happy freemen. In England the system of public instruction is only twenty-seven years old. Even in our own country whose foundations stones rest upon the right of every human being to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, happi-ness, and where, from the very inception of our government, education educa-tion has been regarded as the bulwark of our safety, even here it. has too often been looked upon as a sort of material specific to be taken into the system, much as one would iunoculate himself with vaccine virus or ami-toxin, as a prophylactic against business failure, social degeneracy, and the necessity for hard work. That development through education was nature's design for the race, provided for in his organism, as much as his increase in stature or his adaptation to environment, is one of the latest results of social evolution." "It is notunfair to say that in many cases the regulations, rules and laws of the school are not thought of as serving more than a temporary purpose pur-pose or as promoting any end higher than their own successful working. Too often the affairs of schools seem to be managed only for the purpose of exhibiting a beautiful mechanism in which the children serve merely as unsentlnent instruments automatic- . . f, , , iron or inose ciockworK movements which we call orderly administration." administra-tion." "We all need to be reminded daily that the school is a social organism, and that its mission includes not only the training of the native powers and j capabiln ies of our pupil, but also the I giving of needed assistance in discovering discov-ering to them the meaning and pur-j pur-j pose o! those powers and capabilities in the promotion of social ends. It follows, then, that to the degree in which the schools accomplish their benign mission, their regulations, their rules, their laws, their agencies, must embody the needs and aims and spirit of ideal community life. From its very nature the school necessarily connects itself with a degree of social experience and training. The attritions attri-tions resulting from contact of numbers, num-bers, the modifications of rights and duties arising from personal association associa-tion and intercourse all these are influences tending to develop knowledge knowl-edge of community relatious. But this result too often comes about in spite, rather than in consequence of, onr deliberate aim and purpose. Instead In-stead of permitting the regulations of the school to develop naturally, as an outgrowth of the conscious needs of those for whose benefit they exist, we curtail our pupil's opportunities to acquire valuable social experience by ourselves enacting, interpreting and executing all the laws whfch have place on the statute books of the school." . "We have forgotten that the function of education in all its instrumentalities and agencies is utilitarian." util-itarian." . "The interests of genuine genu-ine education demand a removal of all artificial limitat ions which hinder the exercise of powcis granted to childreu, as weil as to adults, for beneficent purposes; and they demand at the same time the establishment of such freedom to use those powers as will permit the social forces inherent in the school to work out their rightful ends; namely, knowledge of community commun-ity relations and training for citizenship." citizen-ship." "Discipline is variously used as a synonym for punishment, for restraint, re-straint, for training, for education, for coercion, and even for worship. Like other synonyms, while sharing the meaning of its counterparts, it Is different from them all. In fact, it cannot be defined by any synonym. It happens to be one of those words a study of whose etymology Is instructive. instruct-ive. Discipline is disclpleshlp. What Is a disciple? A disciple is a person who takes another as his master, his instructor, his model of life. Who is that master, that insructor, that model? That, dear teacher, is you! The discipline of a school, then, is in a very real sense the personality of the teacher intluencing the development develop-ment or her pupils: it is the character of the teacher working to form the characters of future men and women." "From this viewpoint, then, the successful disciplinarian is not he who can compel good deportment from his pupils, whether that compulsion be through the employment of coercive or of persuasive measures; but it js rather he who in his own person embodies em-bodies qualities and characteristics so exemplary so ahuriug and so masterful master-ful as to render their possessor unconsciously un-consciously an inspiration to earnest effort and noble achievement and an example of all that is worthy of imitation imi-tation in private and public life. It cannot be too often or too earnestly repeated that mere repression, mere restraint, seemed without cheerful co-opciation of Hie pupil, for no other purpose than 10 giaiifv the teacher's desire for quiet ness and order, is not only not discipline but that it may be fatally subversive of it. That only is genuine discipline whose motive mo-tive power is subjective, that is, which proceeds from wiibin, and whose end. whet her or notcousciously realized, is seir control." "Are the restraints of the school room such as will help our pupils to control themselves, or are they so ill-devised ill-devised as to produce a hatred of all restraint and hence lead to lawlessness? lawless-ness? Ar ;the decisions of the teacher which involve the personal rights and feelings of pupils so fair and'impar-tial and'impar-tial as to cultivate a spirit of equity in' them, or so biased and one-sided as to outrage justice? Are the penalties inflicted for duty neglected, or wrong perpetrated, natural and fitted to the circumstances of the case and therefore there-fore designed to teach the inevitable consequences of wrong doing: or are they arbitrary, without correspond ence to the faint, and vErtdletively administered, thus servlngvthe direct i , "The only discipline that 1s worthy a place in our schools is the discipline that helps the child to recognize his own tendencies, both good and bail: that leads him to look into his own purposes and to be sincere and true; that enables him to put his resolutions resolu-tions into practice in his own conduct; con-duct; that teaches him to substitute the rules which he gives himself for those given him by his teacher: that makes him find the stimulous of his conduct in his own sense of duty rather than in the impositions of external ex-ternal authority; that gradually habituates him to the safe exercise of that liberty and freedom which are at once the glory and the peril of the American citizen; that teaches him to judge himself and govern himself as he would judge and govern others; that develops in him, finally, correct ideas of social relationships nd the duties which grow out of them. Such are the principles and such the aims of the discipline which will gradually remove the child from control by the school to control by his own reason; which will satisfy the fullest requirements require-ments of utility in education, the realization of robust, stalwart, independent inde-pendent manhood."

Mr. James Waite has this year raised 380 bushels of potatoes from three-fourths of an acre of ground, or at the rate of over .100 bushels to the acre. The entire crop is uniformly uniform-ly large In size, several specimens weighing over 4 pounds each. No extra amount of manure was applied during the growing season, but from the time the tops appeared the crop has been carefully cultivated. The plowing in the first instance was quite deep, and until nearly the time to gather them in, the surface of the ground has been kept in even a dusty condition, which, Mr. Waite claims, reduces the evaporation from below to a minimum, leaving a much larger quantity of moisture below the surface for the growing plants and tubers. The enormous yield certainly proves the gentleman's theory to be correct. WANTED- Trustworthy mid actlvp nontlH-men nontlH-men Htiii Indies to travel for responsible, ex'ubllhlied house In I'tiili.
