a watch and a pair of pants by a
sneak thief last Wednesday while
he and bis family were in the

?The town authorities have
placed an order for three 1 ose
reels and a plentiful supply of

it has long been without, and that
is ample fire protection.

been summering ut Cleveland

and zealous Christian worker, who
has been serving several churches
in Choftterlield county, has accepted
a call at Globe, near Honea
Path, and left for bis new field of
labor last Wednesday.
? Mr. C. C. Horton informs
us that some have been wondering
how he can ;ive at Kershaw
and attend to the duties of Coroner
if elected. it has been his
purpose, ever since before he became
a candidate for Coroner, to
move to Lancaster, where he pro
poses to engage in truck farming.
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.

THE EDUCATIONAL IDEAL.
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."

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

and departed this life Sept. 30th 1
1902.
When called to part from dear!
friends, our hearts are tilled with
sadness, a gloom is cast all around <
us, but, when the deuth Angel :
visits our home und claims as his .
victim a belovdd mother who can
paint the anguish, who or what
pen c:in describe the intense suffering
of hearts torn and bleeding
by this tad visitation.
Such is the case of our sorrow, ?
the children of the late Mrs. Cher- ;
ry, oi r dear mother. She was
indeed a parent tendor, loving and (
kind, and though she was a true
christian und died huppy in the'
religion she prof- sscd, und though
we are comforted with the knowledge
that she rests sweetly and
secure in the arms of out dear
Savior still we mourn our loss
when we realize that the best and
dearest gift of God, a devoted ,
mother, kas gone from us forever
in thiu * 1
Kipht children five bods and
three daughter** (all grown to maturity)
tilled with love and devotion,
ministered to this beloved
mother, all during her illness, and
had the happiness to stand around
her dying couch and receive her
last blessing.
Precious mother, thou hast left us?
Left us, yes, forever more, * r
But we hope that we will meet you
On that bright and happy shore.
Preoious mother, thou hast left us
But our faith in God is strong;
We will sing and praise forever
That he doeth nothing wrong.
A Loving Daughter.
