Tax Books Open The tax books were opened last Wednesday. Mr. J as. A. Weaner was the first to pay taxes this year. Something over $100 was taken in the first day by the county treasurer and from the way the people have been pa> ing since it looks like they are going to avoid the usual big rush on the last days. Mr. Weaner is as punctual in paying the editor as he is in paying his taxes and he makes it a rule to look up the editor as coo as he has settled with the county treasurer. While the tax books are open those who wish to do so can pay one dollar commutation tax and be clear of road duty next year. The commutation tax can be collected only while the tax books are open.

When Greece ami Homo were but in the gertu < f th?ir greatness [suppressed nu every side by burl Imrian n- i-hbors, there Inid been set upon the distant heights an Educational Idetl. Later this ideal found realization in Socrates, I'luto and A istotle, Cicoro and Dvmestbeues, Horace and Lucretius. Every nation has likewise had its ideal, often amounting to little more than a dream. In the 20th century, so givm to ideals have we been, that wo have erected on every hill-top an end to be attained, until grown weary with failures we are read\ to exclaim with the preuchor ? I'funitu <if iMi.iiinu ..11 ! %J VI IUIIIVIVO) HI I 13 vnuiij. Standing almost alone the educa> tional ideal remains. it, with the Christian faith, seems to be I the oaly enduring tiling. It is ' complex, yet simple of expression, for, mark you, it is nothing more nor less than this, the unfolding of the human self. JI is a process for whose preparation the mighty drama of evolution has not been counted too groat, and now that that drama has become in our hands a concise process wo can scarcely overestimate its unique significance In a day of more childlike faith it is no wonder the old pedagogue standing in the presence of such an issue should have waited for the working of the tpirit and listened to its utterance as to the oracle of God. We should not ho less reverenti d to so great a cause. Are the people of Lancaster count v uadv to sac rifiee lesser interest to this greater interest ? If not, let us weigh this subject well. Determine the aim of education and then turn every effort to that end. Though tho edd faiths have partly passed away, theie is a new faith no less irspiring and no less revered. It is tho belief in the essential sanity of the human spirit. The unfolding of this spirit constitutes the ideal education. It is that which lifts tho soul from groping in darkness and ignorance to tho light of etherial truth and perfection It is tho business of the common school to lav broad catholic foundations for the successful conduct of life. What we aro ufler is culture and the power and perfection that comes through culture. Tho end in education should be the major end, the development of man in his entirety, with all his native faculties. This may include good citizenship, wise parenthood, lit. erary or technical skill, but it is not any one of these things. How often the parent goes to the teacher and asks that his child be taught this and that thing? perhaps it is the three H'a?claiming that this is all the child needs. They would have the teacher cul tivate the partial man "Cram a little knowledge into his head if necessary by force of authority " They would reduce education to the fanntccies of conventional correctness and make the child, and finally the full crown child, the slave of "authority." Confined, thus, within a net work of narrowing ideas man becomes tnme, small and distottcd, as a member of society he is selfish and is content to live as his forefathers lived. Education should give the child a cosmic conception of life, fit him to be a cosmopolitan, fit him for his environments and this environment not limited to locality merely. The unity of which Christ spoke when Ho prayed that < the disciples ho one as Ho and his father were one is to ho partly realized through education", an education of the body,of the soul, )f the mind; an education that en dows u man with a clear mind, a warm heart, a keen lovo of perfection; that makes him self* poised, indej undent, resolute. This is the ideal figure. An imL>yssil?le figure? The more im possible the less you believe it. Make your school the center of the civic community, the second home of the child. Endow it with strength, beauty and perfection, and ere long wo will stand upon the summit of our ideal and look down on a 4'land flowing with milk and honey."
