WHAT IS KIM < ATIO.N
What doi s < iii]i ai inn moan? Thc
Latin derivation ts "duco" to load ami

to lead them ont of themselves.nnii

I hoir lives. Unir Fouls.
We educate our lands. It is bul
; necessary io look around us to so? Hie
truth of lilis statement. Lauds Hail
sometimes are consider "worn mit"
arc by drilling and fcrt.ii/.utioil, e?lu
I ruted in a Ililli slate of usefulness.
Once there was a prevailing idea thal
i it did lands good tn let (hem "lie mit"
for a crop y?*ar or so to regain some
lol Ui?' strength leeched from them.
! Hut our progressiv?' tuen of today tan
! tell us from experience that this is
worse than a waste for il is hut giv
ing* the soil over to tile Weeds aile] the
I tares, whereas hy varying the kind nf
, crops, we may be able to put into Hie
soil, by means of certain root crops
or legumes Hie identical things re
moved by years of digging.
Wo educate our farm stock. First,
we break them In and then we cure
i for them lo make them useful for Hie
longest period of time. The principle
of education is as natural as life it
self. And tliis leads to a brief dis
cussion of the mutter of compulsory
ed ucut ion.
Tile mind of thc child is the soil
iii which will grow thoughts, idle und
vicious, or fruitful and productive of
of the beauly of a well spent life. The
Idle mind ls the devil's workshop, ami
the idle brain, even If ll does not pro
gress in Hie wrong direction will
gradually become narrow in its per
spective and limited in its vision and
the child that is idle lu its mind, no
mutter how useful it may be with itu
nimble fingers will become dwarfed,
that is the word. We look with sad
ness upon the afflicted person whose
body has not been permitted its full
development. How mach more should
we have cause to grieve over the
stunted minds of the country
Education is not merely the me
chanical process of going t^school.
The mind ls not developed by guiing
blankly upon printed pages or staring
without understanding at the black
boards or listening with deuf ears tu
wbut the teacher says. Education is
training, discipline and application.
The responsibility of the parent
does not end when the child is
.turned over to the,:teacher. The pa
rent should know every day or every
week if the child Is making progress.
The child should not be .allowed to be
out of school, or to be Idle when
school ls not in session.
jp i
The bid Idea that the child's mind
needs a rest is about in keeping with
the belief that the land should He idle
Thu child's mind is improved With
ligut exercise. Let the child have a
little reading to do through the va
cation months, and occasionally peep
into their school books. Try to get
the child to love books, not to look
upon school as a time ot servitude.
It seems to us that no person can
with any justice argue that compul
pulsory attendance upon school ls
wrong. There is no need for such
a law in some communities Tho
good people realize too clearly the ad
vantages of sending their children to
school. Hut there are some trifling,
lazy men in the warld who would
make tblr children slave thnt they
may drone. A compulsory ati?ndanse
law is not in any way repulsive to mw
abiding citizens. It would exempt
children who are required to work for
the support of widowed mothers.
It does not Interfere with, the person,
al liberty of any one. But it does give
liberty and protection to the child
whose male parent has not enough of
manhood, or christianity and ot love
in hts heart to wish to see the mind
of his little one expand under (he
kindly influences of good teachers as
the rose hud expands under the be
neficent stimulus of the spring sun
shine.
We believe there ls no man who
would seriously say that thc state has
no right to help bis child. Why, of
course it has. If that child were to
commit a crime the state hus a right
to take lt and send it to the reforma
tory. The state makes thc parent
clothe thu '-bibi's body, shall its soul
he naked? The child has rights in
the keeping of the slate as well as
the purent and If the "sorry" parent
will not yield to the child its rights,
the state may step in and protect the
child. This IS the .-ase with inheri
tance of property from a deceased pa-,
l ent who might have felt that the Sur
viving parent would squander {tbs
little estate.' Why'should not the
state then have: the' fight to protect
the child from that other great infamy
-Ignorance, which is ?worse Oven
than poverty, for.In ignorance tho soul
ts affected.
The soul of the child is God's. Why,
even their bodies are the temples of
souls, and they too are God's. Man
is not the master of himself. Me too,
is God's. And as surely as God plac
ed his disfavor on the slothful anrvant
who would not educate his talent, In
the parable In Matthew, Just so surely
will He hold to accountlblllty' that
man who dares to take from the call
Iren their right tu have their miad?
lovelopud, I heir souls educated.
Il may liol he expedient or possible
from u liiinin-inl Htaiidpolnl to have
compulsory education for the whole
state, hut Mw local option form In
troduced hy Mr. MeCrnvy of Bickens,
is harmless. The people now have
u local option form of operating their
special school district. Does thal mean
that their trust?es are compelled to
lill up your schools with negroes?
Not u hit of it. To our own shame, be
it said that.in some sections of the
state tlie negroes are leaving nothing
undone to get an education and thoir
white neighbors seem asleep. '
This local option law would ;^low
the whole people to Vote on the ques
tion.,would allow every school district
lo decide it for itself, lt would not be
a boon for the negroes, hut could .be
handled, as our funds are handled, en
tirely to the advantage of the white
people io whom this great country be
longs and hy whom it will be gov
erned as bing as a church spire points
Its linger to the Seat of All Wisdom
and ns long as one school house re
mains in Hie country.
Compulsory attendance strikes at
no man's liberties, it will affect no
proud, ambitious, proud working peo
ple, but will drive the drones to work
and strike the shackles from the
arms of the little ones, bound to a
grinding labor when they should be
learning the lessons of school with
which to be equipped to better meet
the battles of life.
A BABY'S HOSPITAL
We have received from Mr. Chas.
I loaron editor of the Spartanburg Her
ald., a commutation to the follow
ing effect:
"1 want to ask you to call attention
to the effort to cstublish at Saluda. N.
C.. a baby's hospital. Now this insti
tution is going to he maintained this
year by the people of Snarl an burg.
I think, but next year we want lt to
serve every town in the state of nny
considerable population. The idea is
to build at Suluda, a baby's hospital
to take care of all sick children whose
parents are unable to send them to
the mountains, or have th ni given
proper care.
The hospital authorities want to be
in touch with the district nurses in
each city and that district nurse may
bvfng about the admission of chil
dren to this institution. It strikes
me that this is a very worthy charity
and the beginning that we are mak
ing promises its success. I want tu
usk you to help the cause along in
any way possible.
We would be pleased if any perBons
who are interested would communi
cate with Mr. Hearon on this subject.
In an editorial M,r. Hearon says:
"There is a reason for the estab
lishment of a baby hospital at Saluda,
N. C., through the efforts of the peo
ple of this section of South Carolina.
That we have within thirty miles of
this populous . region an altitude of
2.250 feet, where the climatic condit
ions are absolutely Ideal for the re
covery of sick children ls most unus
ual, i This section of South Carolina
is becoming more and more thickly
inhabited and that means that with
the increased population there is to
be a steady increase in the number of
ill children each year, and many of
them may be served in the years to
come, if there is on top of the moun
tain an institution that will give them
the care and attention they should
have.
"This baby hospital at Saluda is
destined to become one of the great
institutions of the region, and that
it should have been established by the
people of this city will be to them
a great satisfaction in the years to.
come.
"The fund grew yesterday by a
fuud of $150 which is the beginning of
a rum that will enable those Interest
ed In this movement to go ahead with
their plans without delay."
Commends Lewis Parker.
As the bead of 18 southern cotton
mills the words of Lewis W. Parker
who spoke on Frlduy evening at a
banquet In the Manufacturers' club,
should carry especial weight concern
ing the present condition of the cot
ton textile Industry and the outlook
for lt. These remarks are especially
commended to those who may have
been misled by partisans who. for po
litical reasons, are Interested In mis
representing the present situation:
"A period of pruiitable business ls
right at hand; foreign competition
under the new tariff Is not going tc
injure the textile Industry, and the
outlook for all business the country

"Notwithstanding the fact that we
have heard of depression, the market
is upon a profitable basis. I am an

LIBERTY AND JUSTICE
By Savoyard. ?
Your congressional jingo is * in a
rage because the President of thc Uni
ted States refuses to manage the Mex
ican problem as the Jingo would have
it done. Every devil of 'em is on Ids
bead to have Huerta kept in place and
power, and all of them are horrified
at the suggestion of a recognition of
Carranza. Huerta does not conceal
the fact that his policy is to keep 90
per cent, of the Mexican people in a
state of hopeless and abject peonuge
that is infinitely worse than African
slavery ever was In any of our' south
ern states. According to. Huerta the
most of the labor in Mexicb has no
mission in this life but to'delve in the
mine for the profit of a few men who
own the country and have made "con
cessions" to adventurous foreign capi
tal from which has been spawned a
hundred "revolutions" . in Latin
America, and this good day Mexico
would enjoy political tranquility if the
dirty money freon our country and. Eu
rope had nota been ventured to reap
dividend from revolutiqn, war, rapine,
murder and ?Aavery., yvwiJ "
May iii John Sharp Williams read
in the' United, States senate and, bad
pr i it eu' in the Congressional Record a
lefter from an ofllclal of (he "United
States stationed in Mexico lb which
the writer says that it would cost
1200,000 American lives and occasion
an expenditure of $10,000,000,000 to
overrun, conquer and subjugate tko
I country. Here is his close:
"lt would be' cheaper to take every
refugee out ot here, pay him every
dollar due -him, pension him for life
and let his blatant mouth be heard at
home, as insufferable as that would
be, uher than engage In war."
Mi. William Kent, a member of
congress from California, expressed
an admirable sentiment in relation to
Mexico. He said he had money in
vested in a mine down there, that be
had abandoned lt till quiet is restored,
and that as he would not willingly
shed a drop of his own blood to make
his property profitable, be would feel
himself a coward to ask that the blood
of one single American soldier be
[spilled in the affair.
There is a man, a patriot and his
are the sentiments of a good Chris
tian. If all the money ventured In
Mexico were as clean as his there
would be no revolution down there.
Carranza and Villa may be very bad
men; but neither is as bad as Huerta
und both asserted . that their mission
in politics and In war is the abolition
of peonage in their unhappy country.
They are agrarian, certainly, and they
may be visionary, but anarchy will
keep its state in Mexico until their
dream ls realized. Land for the
landless and letters for the ignorant
are their war cry. It ought to ap
peal to every American.
Centuries ago Hernando Cortez with
his cruel band, invaded Mexico and if
there was any Jue tice there then it
sloped to the uttermost ends bf the
earth at hts approach and has never
returned. Why .not try a little Jus

Washington, June 1.
CARRANZA'? WAY TO FIX IT.
^Proclaim Himself President, Sainte 1
Onr Flag, Tell Us to Go.
(Washington Dispatch to New York |
Times.)
One queer rumor of a day full of I
rumors about the Mexican situation;
was that when G?n?ral Carranza pro
claimed himself Provisional President I
of Mexico at Saltillo, he would at one |
stroke remove the casus belli be
tween the United State and Mexico
by running up the American flag and
giving it. a salute ot 21 guns. With
the insult to the American flag thus
atoned for and a ' Provisional Presi
dent in power espousing constitutional,
government, the supreme'chief is said
to feel that all reason for American
intervention will be removed.
This report goes on to say that I
Carranza would then ask the United !
states to withdraw its troops from
Vera Cruz. To observers in Wash
ington this has a humorous sound, I
but lt ls In line with the position !
General Carranza ?as assumed. He]
has airead said bluntly-that the Uni
ted States waa stultify lug Itself lb
demanding reparation for.a national'
affront from the individual, Huerta, I
whose official position he has always
denied.
The demand for apology should j
have been made to him, he said, and ;
General Gonzales, following the cap
ture of Tampico, intimated strongly
to Admiral Mayo that he hoped the
"Verb Cruz incident" would end with
honor to his country. '
Mow such a'reparation for the al
most' forgotten insult to the flag" at !
Tampico would be received in Wash-1
lngton can scarcely be called doubt
ful. President Wilson has let lt bo
known that he thought the Tampico
incident merely afforded the psycho
