As a way of trapping the t
dodger the Anderson Mail sugge
the passage of a law which di
/ \
not permit a man's financial liab
Hoe to exceed the amount of pr<
orty he returns for taxation. 1
do not doubt the wisdom of sucfc
law, but we do not think it wot
stand the test of the courts,
man is liable for what he has a
not what he thinks he has, the
fore such a law would come in c<
flict with the national bankrupt
taws. However, is the; State' wot
require commercial agencies to j
their- "reports** from the tax hoc
instead of from private individu;
the situation would be relieved
some extent.

I The school will tuke hold of the
child when still very young and '
holds it until it is nearly grown up
an is at present the object of a heated M
'>1? discussion in Franoe, a discussion n<
* carried on in our Parlament as well a
'ns in our dally (Vress.
Ai?l? rr?* a a % a Wl
?-1 i mil ine scnooi exeris a great
r>Dj influence upon the growing child is w
^; beyond doubt; but still there are ^
at v?ry earnest und very intelligent
er- men who ussert that it is by no
means sure that the soul of the
I school permanently influences the ^
iltu Boul of the child. Some of these in- ^
t>ns slst that the school is really pow- '
; erless to modify for any length of
;ter time the character and moral ten|
not dencles of the young future citi- ^
I rat zen.
This is the eternal and profound l(l
| problem which faces every sincere ^
aya educator when ho takes up his task. ^
>or- Are we able to do anything to
Ler-; mould the nature and character of
the child?. If we are really able to
Qf_ exert any influence, is not this in
in fluence really passing?is not its
ind effect lost as soon as it ceases to
on8 exert itself and the young boy or
(girl starts on his career in life? '(k'
Like ull other problems in social
0. : physchology this proinlcm has at ^
___ various times been answered in dif
1 c*
I ferent ways. The opinions of a
ax" | r enelon or a Rottoseau have always
8ta found a number" of indorsers, Ivet
ues : tis, therefore, try to look at the
in. I question itself without endeuvoring
to solve it In a way that agrees j"
3p";with our preference or personal In
terests.
t a The only party which one might
cal! the extremest educators are f.
^ fond of quoting Leibnitz, who has ^
said the word, so often repeated afn
.cerward. "Give ine thp chance to
t*- control education and 1^ will change.
>n- the face of Europe in less than one
lcy hundred years." . (ZJ|
jld "'-rtelvitus went further stiH In as- ^
. selling that all men are born with
, the same equal abilities,, and thut
it is 'education alone which treats w
itl? the difference. It, is. well to quote
to these extreme affirmations, because ^
there arises immediately within us (i
a desire to contradict and disprove ^
them on the basis of our personal "
bx-] xperience.

be seat of this activity is no tie-J
on, no abstraction; It is the nerv-1
its system?the brain. # |
The bruin turns out character, asj
ie stomach digests; lis form and
tvelopments are determined from'
ie time of birth, as is the shape
id development ot the hand or the i
i?se. It is only because we are not j
tie to see the brain of the child.!
i we sec its bom; or hands that
o cling to the strange illusion that
e arc able to influence it by
ords. Who would ever thing of
uoaforming into an aqullne nose
le nasal organ of a child born
ith a common pug nose?
To these absolute believers in
:redity, one might well say, always
i the nume of common sense, that
child's nose or hands are susospMe
to modifying culture, and that
ere it possible to massage the
rain, as it is possible to massage
nose or hand, we should surely
? able to alter its shape, and, as
is, we are still able to mould it ;
f metal massage, that is to say, by
instant suggestion.
This is the educations.! theory of j
uyan?one of the moBt ingenious'
tneng modern theories. The Guy-1
n character is a system of habits,j
>n>e inherited from parents others
'quired. One cannot help the first,
at one may suggest the others,
icy successfully combat the first,
ml this is the object of all eduition.
It is a most reasonable thing, it
ouid then seem, to admit that the
atural tendencies of the child and
le education you give it are simi
ir to the two components of the j
imous paralellograin of f~rcea, and
le final character of the subject
ins betwe?en theBe, approaching j
ie or the other more or less as
if. stincts are stronger or weaker j
win the education.
And truly the solution would_h??
iiilltablc and definite If tone wodTl1
msider the child only, or lw|
>ung man,, as he crosses from fcWfj
ireahold -of the school into indsir^,
pnt activity. At this moment he'
really the resultant of his nntuf-j
i tendencies combined "with "ljis ods^i
itlon.
Out what would be the value of,
iucatlon it it rested satisfied with.;
eating a kind of instantaneous i
pc, and would take no interest^
hatever in the eventful deformaons
of this type after its educiH
on was once finished. If the
ct of education disappeared soon j
iter its activity ceased, then the
me spent on education would
niply be wasted.
But when the pupil leaves school
3 ceases by no means to respond
? the suggestions which, according
> Guyan a theory, give birth to
inquired habits and incorporate
lem in the character. Other school
pens its doors to the emancipated
upll -a school of whose teaching^ j
e has perhaps already had a pre-1
n timent.
This school is called experience,

U> his trirtieth year, Taine writes
fl'u young man laboriously strangle
his ideals then he lives, or think
he lives, calmly and peacefully. Tha
ho "strangles" his Ideals is sayini
a little too much, ho comes to com
promise with them.
Every doctrine, everything whici
Is practical life brings him disap
pointments, failure and louses h
instinctively and promptly discard!
In this way the fully develops
character, which Taine says 1
reached at the thirteenth year, i
not the result of two, but of thre
components: inherited tendencies
euucauon ana experience. wne
this result, after many oscillationi
becomes firm, we have the ma
finished.
And what are we u> conclud
from all this? First, that any kin
of education would be presumpti
cus, if it imagines itself able to d
av.-ay altogether with the inherite
tendencies of the character; an
second, that all education would fc
chimercial which tried to cheat lif<
which, taking advantage of the hel]
leanness of the child would hid
h?.de from it everything objectiox
al le and the consequences thereo
But if education avoids these tw
dangers, that of falsifying realitU
avO of disparging the capital in
poitance of inherited tendencies,
becomes a force equal to that t
character and equal to that of e:
perience. At the time when towar
the thirteenth year the manifold it
fluences of which the sum total coi
fcists are added up, education wil
If it has been what it should b
make the result, the fully develoj
ed character, inclines mostly in th
direction of its influence. Most (
the really successful men we me<
In life will say, if you ask then
that their success is due to the!
education. They will mention the:
father or their mother, or sora
lencher whose influence has moult
cd their character during the!
youth.
* This is because, without IobId
vi 101'ir uinemea lenuenca
or experience, they feel that the:
education was the most importat
factor in making them what the
have grown to be.
This is the reason why un infal
lbie instinct prompts political pa:
ties and religious and moral creec
to fight for possession of the schoo
Education is only one of the thr*
components of human character, bi
it is the only one that may be coi
tidied by those who want to guid
a generation of men.
He who controls the school do<
net control everything, but he wt
has the school against him is for

tribunal of life and experience.
