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.

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.
