Beach Gives Bond.
Aiken, April 11.?This morning bail
was arranged for Frederick 0. Beach,
against whom a warrant is now outstanding,
charging him with cutting
his wife's throat. Mr. Thomas Hitchcock,
the prominent millionaire who
has been making his home in Aiken for
many winters past, is the bondsman,
and the sum is $1,000. Beach is now
in Paris, and the fixing of his bond in
his absence is the result of a number
of cablegrams between Beach and his
attorney here, in which he named the
firm of Henderson as his attorneys
in fact, and they signed his name in his
absence. 1
Beach Anxious for Trial.

TEACHER'S MEETING.
<
Excellent Address by Prof. Vofgrt, of <
Xewberry College, on the *Ger- i
man School System."
i
The regular monthly meeting of the 1
[ county teachers' association was held
j at Little Mountain on Saturday. The ]
attendance was fairly good, though
not as large as expected. The feature ;
of the meeting was an address by Prof.
G. P. Voigt, of Newberry college, on
the "German School System," in i
which he spoke of the excellencies of '
the system and also of the defects, and ?'
gave his reasons for the position taken.
It was a very instructive address
and no doubt will result in good. The <
Herald and News prints in this connec- <
tion a synopsis of the address by Prof.
Voigt. i
The next meeting of the association :
will be held at Newberry in the high ;
school building at J.1 o'clock on the ,
second Saturday of May, which will be
the last meeting of the association for
this school year.
The German School System.
For many years the German
school system has been generally recognized
to be the best system in the
world. The motto of the Germans has
been: "The future belongs to the best
educated nation," and they have spared
neither thought nor expense nor energy
in the development of their
schools. To their wonderfully efficient
educational system, they attribute
the remarkable increase of "the
Fatherland" in political, commercial,
and intellectual prestige. After the
victory of Sadowa in the Austro-Prussian
war, 1866, Prince Frederick telegraphed
to Berlin, "The German
school master has won the battle of
Sadowa."
American educators have incorporated
many features of the German system
into our schools, and we are continually
borrowing ideas and methods
from it. Hence it is worthy of being
studied by those who have the welfare
of our schools at heart.
The present system may be said to
have arisen in 1805, when, after the
disastrous defeat of Jena, the Prussian
king and his people resolved to
regain in intellectual power what they
had lost in material power. With the
aid of such educators as Froebel and
Pestalozzi, and statesmen like Hardenburg
and Stein, this hope wa? realized,
and since then the Germans have
laid the greatest possible stress, 011
education.
i ne present system, wmuu 10 supported
and controlled by the State and
municipal governments, consists of,
first, elementary schools?the kindergarten,
public school, and "preparatory"
school; secondly, secondary
schools: the classical high school,
"modern" high school, and the scientific
high school (Klassiches gymnasium,
ober-real-schule, real-gvmna- ,
sium); thirdly, the higher institution
of learning?university, tecnnoiogicai
institute, normal school; fourthly,
"special" schools?the outdoor school,
continuation school, help school, and
the business and industrial schools.
Women are now admitted to the
universities and some of the gymnasia,
Special industrial schools are maintained
for the 'benefit of those who de- .
sire such a course. But many young
ladies of the wealthier class "finish" ^
their education in private boarding :
schools or "Pensionen." "The general |
idea of female education is less that ,
of an intellectual course of training {
than ethic and aesthetic." j
In the elemental schools the sub- j
jects taught are: Religion, German,
j arithmetic, singing, drawing, science, ,
! handiwork and gymnastics. The ]
"preparatory" school consists of only
three classes, and prepares the child
lor entrance into a gymuasium. j.ue
public school consists of eight classes. ]
The high schools (gymnasia) have j
each a nine year course. The highest, ]
or first class is equivalent to the
Sophomore year in the American col- 1
lege. The studies pursued are: Religion,
German and history, Latin (the
chief study), Greek, French, English,
mathematics, natural science, calisthe
mics, singing. The classical gymnasium
lays much stress on Greek, the i
Ober-real-schule more 011 the French
and English, while the Real-gymnasium
devotes more time to natural '
science and mathematics.
The graduate of one of these high
schools is prepared for the university,
Dr technological school. Agricultural
courses are given, sometimes in the
university, at other times in special
schools. There are also schools of
mining, forestry, etc. The university
usually contains the four faculties:
1 ? 1"*" A Vl 1 IACA
i neoius V, ia\\, iiieuiuiiic auu
phy.
All employers of boys under 18
years of age are required by law to
permit these boys to attend a "contin
* xt x u;
nation scnooi," wnere tuey are Lciuguu
German, drawing and mathematics.
Backward children are given special
attention in the "help schools." while
the frail and nervous ones are taken
to a "forest." or "out-door"' school.
Careful provision is made for all
classes of children.
The chief excellencies of this system
/-t\ xi 1 /0\
are muiuuguness, nm; u?v,ipline,
(3) compulsory school attendance
for seven or eight years, (4) religious
training, (5) the inculcation of
true patriotism, and (6) "vocational
training." By vocational training is
meant the special preparation of each
youth for the particular calling for
which he is best fitted, physically,
mentally, and morally, and in which he
can best serve the state.
It is defective in that it produces
\
machine-like men, who fail to become
strong-minded and self-conscious, who
are lacking in resourcefulness and
adaptability. It also disregards play,
with the result that the pupils become
often dull plodders.
As stated by a former minister of
education in Prussia the aim of the
German school system is to promote
patriotism, to teach religion and morality,
and to.prepare the German youth
for practical life. It succeeds admirably,
in part, at least.
Mr. Hardeman Declines.
The friends of Mr. W. H. Harde
man, who placed him in nomination,
have urged him to remain in the race
for alderman from Ward 5, but while
he appreciates the kindness and good
will of his friends in putting his name
in nomination, he positively declines
to enter the race.

In Behalf of the Veteran.
Editor The Herald and News: The
events of the past week, when the unveiling
of a monument to women of
the Confederacy occurred, awakened
a train , of memory that was sad and
depressing. Where are the old survivors
of the four years of bloody
strife? Many are alive, but are'they
j lost to memory? It was meet and
I proper that they should have been a
body-guard of honor on that occasion.
And are they remembered at the ballot
box, when a little office paying a
little money is in sight, some slick
duck with tricks that are dark and
ways that are mean pushes the armless,
legless old veteran aside and
evades the law of God to work by the
sweat of his brow. No self respecting
ii-m ctrikp an old soldier, but is |
man nui -?v, ? ?
it not as shameful to shove him when
a pitiful little position would give him
daily bread, and with a bitterness of
soul they feel that all they endured
for those who now enjoy the fruits of
their sacrifice is forgotten. A good
dinner once a year is a good rhi:\g to
! be sure, but a. square meal every day
lis Vest, especially if earned by self-j
-support. No matter if <:.s humble as j
the camp fare in the days of the war,
if a veteran is sober, industrious and
reliable, every son of a veteran should
see to his welfare by supporting him
for any office he is capable of filling.
The is something radically wrong,
and we cry out in the words of England's
great poet,
"Oh, God of Hosts be with us yet,
"Lest we forget; lest we forget"

|National Monthly.
Mr. Williams, one of five cant iates
for the office of sheriff in one the
northern counties of Wisconsin, is
making a house-to-house canvass of
rural districts, so liciting votes. Coming
to the house of Farmer Thompson,
he was met at the door by the
good housewife, and the .following
dialogue ensued:
"Is Mr. Tompson at home?"
1 T /N
i\u; lie .ucls guuc iu whji.
"I am very sorry, as I would have
liked to talk to him."
"Is there anything I can tell him for
you?"
"My name is Williams,/candidate for
sheriff, and I wanted to exact a promise
from him to vote for me at the
coming election."
"0h; that will be all right, I know
he will promise, for he has already
Dromised four other candidates the
same thing." Edna Smith,
Box 285, Buncy, Pa.
