* The Press and Banner ABBEVILLE, 8. C. Published Every Wednesday by The Press and Banner Company w w Bradlev. W R. Bradl?y. President. Vice-President w. T. Walker, Secretary and Manager Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1912 AS TO EDUCATION. Mr. \V. E. Hreazeale, writing from Rutirors College, X. J., in the Lau rens Advertiser, sets out sonic truths that were uppermost in the mind ot this writer but were imperfectly stated in this paper last week. But Mr. Breafceale has apparently over fm't that the schools of an hundred years ago (and one does not have to go so far back to find the same condition) were mainly for the education of the few, generally de signed to occupy the higher posi tions, while those of, today are con fronted with the problem 01 edu cating the many for the occupations rather than for the professions. To be sure there is much claptrap and buncombe in the cry for indus trial or manual training in the public schools, and it is too often true that the work of teaching in such branches is entrusted to men of little practical training; but it does not follow that the teaching of the scientific princi ples which underlie success in agri culture is a fad or is in any manner a chimerical scheme. To have a proper grasp of the sit uation, one must not lose sight of the Iaci mai agriuuiuuf is nut ? im.tv, but a science which calls for ex act scientific knowledge if one is to attain the full measure of success. Without doubt it would seem to Ik* the height of folly to taken promis cuous lot of boys and attempt, for in stance, to teach them wood-workiuj;, a purely manual trade, when many of them possessed not an iota of llu natural dexterity necessary for suc cess in, and no inclination to follow, such a vocation. So, too, it might seem folly to oc cupy the time of a boy in the coun try schools with the manual work of the farm, of which he can and gener ally does get enough under the tutel age of his father. But the study of botany, of chem istry and kindred subject* related to plant and animal life, if properly handled, can not fail to prove inter esting, and are so intimate in their relation to agriculture inai a inur ough knowledge of them will ?io a great deal to improve the standard of fanning. Because it is sought to place within the reach of the youth in the rural districts an opportunity to provide themselves with knowledge that will help them to cultivate the soil in a more intelligent manner it does not mean that they are to he kept on the farm regardless of their own will. It does mean, however, that some patriotic men are endeav oring to provide means for the uplift of the boys in the country, to de velop a race of farmers who will out strip their ancestors and, themselves prosperous in things material, will be able to afford their posterity better opportunities than they themselves enjoyed. ; By all means teach the boys and girls the classics, inculcate in them ilm 1 ncunna nf fnaorifl r%f VI r HIV IVCiJVtiO Vi iv?uvi>;uvvju "? ? * tue and purity to be found in the lives of the ancients, but, along with these, teach them some of the ele ments of the sciences that have a close bearing upon many of the pursuits in which they will engage. To do less will be to neglect a plain duty and will tend to retard our progress. It is of course true that a high school course would not produce a finished farmer, but a desire for scien tific knowledge could be stimulated and a way pointed out for increasing that knowledge, even after school days are over, and applying it prac tically, which would afford a wonder ful impetus to improved methods in agriculture and in other lines. Mr. Breazeale is right when he says that all of life is not embraced in the material side, and that to teach "the finer things is the great task, the fundamental duty." It is, to be sure, better to be taught that truth and honesty are the first considera tions than to have the head crammed full of scientific knowledge; but there is no good reason why the teaching of h?art and mind can not go along hand in hand. As was stated in these columns last week, there was much of merit in the schools of ante-bellum fame, and, as Mr. Breazeale says, the men produced by these schools stand as a refutation of any suggestion that they were unsuccessful. It is a fact, however, that the pupils of these old time schools were recruited more largely from a class in which culture had obtained for some time,~ whereas the schools of today draw their pu pils from a more promiscuous popu lation. There is, too, a difference in the teachers of the old tiiue and those of today. That old schoolmaster who ruled with a rod of iron and spared not the rod lest he spoil the child, and who, by reason of the smallness of hia classes, was enabled to exercise an immediate censorship over the entire enrollment of his school, has given way to others, many of whom are only temporarily interested in the calling which they pursue. The problem of education is the greatest and most many-sided that confronts our people today and too much discussion can hot be accorded it. The Press and Ban ner will welcome a discussion of all nhast* of the subiect. and invites all I * - / who feel an interest to speak through its columns. THE FAIR AND THE CITY. Sntne time ago the business men of Abbeville undertook an advertising tour to Calhoun Falls, down the Sa vannah Valley ltailroad to McCor mick and return. A full write-up of this section followed in both the.pa pers, with photographs of points of interest taken en route. The names of all residents along the route were printed and write-ups of the towns passed. The purpose of this trip was to cultivate closer social and business relations with the people. in about a month we are to have a county fair. The prime purpose of the lair is to bring together the peo ple of the entire county. If we fail in this we fail in the first essential. Is this, then, ntit an opportune time to combine advertisement of the fair and advertisement of the resources of the city. We should carry the invi tation to the homes of our friends, and seek their cooperation to make a bigger and better fair than ever. Abbeville spends thousands of dol lars on her fair annually. Some of this should be spent in advertising the event. We should visit Lowndes ville, Antreville, Due West, Donalds and intervening communities, the work of about two days, and give an account of the trip. If only ten automobiles could be Imd for this trip thfcy would suffice, though double that number would be better. We trust that the Mayor will at once call a meeting of the city ti> work out the details of an ad vertising tour. The time and tlieoc ca-ion could not be more propitious. THE HUMAN BODY AS AN ELECTRICAL MACH IN E. One does not fancy the human body as an electric dynamo, hut it the heat and muscular energy ex pended by an average man of aedon tary habits^vere converted intoelec tricid units, he would tind ciniself in possession of quite a valuable asset. It is proved that a man n-**.? up about two and one-half kilowatt hours <>i electrical energy in a working day. A pprox i inately one-half of this amount is used to keep the tempera ture of the body constant, while the other half is expended in muscular energy. This amount of electricity may not seem great, but an interesting article in the October Popular Mechanics Magazine says that it is sufficient to maintain four 25-watt tungsten lamps of 20 candle power each for 2.? hours; or heat an electric flatiron for 6 hours; run a sewing-machine motor for UK) hours; heat an electric toaster for 4 hours; an electric heatef for 2 hours; an electric curling irontfor 100 hours; run a large fan for 32 hours, or warm a chafing dish for 6 hours. CITY SPEEDWAY, There are two bumps on the'speed way, up Greenville Street, thatshould be removed. One in front of M. T. Coleman's and the other in front of Mrs. L. \V. Perrin's. Some of the auto-drivers are afraid to make over fifty miles an hour up this street, on account of the aforesaid bumps. A "plain clothes man" could see some real scorching if he would saunter occasionally up Greenville Street. COTTON CONSUMPTION. An article is printed in this issue of the Pi-ess and Banner which sheds new light on the consumption of cot ton. It is taken from the New York Sun, and it is safe to say does not err on the side of the bear element. . | While the Press and Banner would not undertake to advise anybody to , hold or to sell eotton, we make the prediction that much of the present j crop will sell for more than la cents per pound. "Who are the guys that are going to put the 'can' to the Republicans ?" tusks the Greenville Piedmont. Well, those patriotic Democrats ;who fur-; nish the sinews of war will at least hold the tail while the can is tied. iw-4 repperai nnmnig j.?c at roi Iikoifs. 2t Antoine Helena, postmaster at Gar-1 den, Mich., knows the exact facts I when he speaks of the curative value' of Foley Kidney Pills.

BONES OF ROMANS Remuiiis of Twentieth Legion Uncov ered in England London Standard. The extension of the infirmary at Chester has led to the discovery of the graveyard used by the Twentieth le gion of the Romans (hiring their oc cupation of that city. The Chester infirmary occupies a site which is locally referred to as the "plague rield." The site seems to have acquired its unsavory name from the fact that casual discoveries of hu man remains in the infirmary field in years gone by had led to the suppo sition that they were the victims of the great plague. The recent un earthina of remains in larger num bera on the site of the extension of I infirmary led to an investig.v.ion by Prof. Robert Newstead, who now reports that the evidence proves con clusively that the infirmary field was not used as a burying ground dur ing the outbreak of the plague, and that all the burials which have been so far unearthed belong to the Ro man period. . Four distinct types of graves have been uncovered. One is a tomb form ed of local sandstone, evidently repre senting a burial of some importance, as the walls of the tomb are covered in plaster, and the dome of the struc ture originally stood out in marked contrast to the surrounding surface of the land, forming a distinct tumu lus. Some of the graves were formed by placing Roman roofing tiles bear ing the stamp of tbe Twentieth legion iipon the floor and also at the sides, the legionary stamps always facing inwards. Another type of burial was formed . by placing roughly hewn sandstone so that a V-shaped trough was formed for the reception of the body. A fourth type of grave con sists of a simple trench of not more than two feet from the original land suriace. The Roman origin of the graves is borne out by the fact that bronze coins of the Emperors Antonius Pius and Commodus have been found in them. Such coins were placed usually in the mouth of the deceased, and are generally referred to as "Charon's passage fare," to expedite the passage of the souls across the Styx, as it was believed that the person who had not received the usual rites of burial, and in whose ihouth no fee for the.ferry man of the- Styxian lake had been placed, would wander hopelessly on its banks, while a decent Interment and a small coin would obviate any disagreeable inquiries that Charon might else be inclined to make. Another "interesting discovery in :>ne of the graves is a terra-cotta lamp, which was also one of the usual offerings to the dead, and served as an emblem of immortality. This was probably filled with oil and placed n the grave lighted. A number of large nails, probably symbolican of time or money, as well as remains of Roman sandals, have been found in man^ of the graves. The last Roman grave just unearthed in the process )f excavation contained three urns, in one of which was a metal mirror. In removing the clay which form ed the floor of one of the graves there was found a stone implement belong :ng to the Neolithic period. Prof. Wwstcad regards this discovery as ??lir,O.K- "intcreatine, as affording ?'.\rrcuinb?.? ??vv. ? further evidence that Chester was in all probability prior to the Roman oc cupation inhabitated by early man.
