SOBEL, Manager .. There Is a wide difference of oplnon, among those who have giro the matter serloua and ’ Intelligent consideration, as to whesr'a child’s education should begin. iSomct famous men were taught to rehd and write when they were mfere babieti- Mace-ulay, for instance, is said to have read Greek with ease at the &ge of three. A few men and women of our own generation have put into pracU®© their in a very early edueartion; have tc4i- en biot-kH wiih le^Ure :.ml numbers upon them, by means of which thei children have been taught to read and to figure between twos-nd thre years of age. Work has been ecu' tinned along,, these dints, with the result that the child thV 3 ’rained is prepared for entrance Into a university five or six years tn F4lvacce of hjs associates. The best known of tuese students is young aidls, who has /Astonished tho professors c.t Harvard I nlversity by his wonderfully trained mind and vast store of knowledge. Tht-r is a little/Ceorgla girl who has bee* similarly cduci..'.*d aul who has acquired some fame as a student, poet and linguist, though she is not yet twelve years of age. It is claimed the-t these results havte been accomplished, not so much through any* unusual mental endowments of the children, as by means of especial equipmetx on the p- rr of the parents who taught thcil | They were themselves highly educa ted, had made special study of psy- I cbology, und hi d evolvrd the ori ginal principles of mental training 'according to which they taught the! children. Now let us see \frhat one of the greatest of living Americans has t.o si;' 01 * the subject of early educa tion. This man Is Luther. Burbank. His marvelous knowledge of plant life^Tie has applied to the human trace in an essay entitled, “The iTrait.-lng of the Human Plant.” “No boy or girl should see the insde of a sehoolhouse until at least ten years old. I am speaking now of the fcoy or girl who can be rerred lt> the ouly place that la truly fit to bring up a boy or a ! plant—thte country, the small town or the country, the nearer to nature the better. In the case of children born In the city and compelled to live there the Umpti-tions are no great, the life so urtifichg, Hie atiuosphtwe so Hke that of the hot-house, that the child must by placed in school earlier a* u nms- ter of safeguarding • • * The curs of. modern shildlife in America is ! owr-f ducat loi - • • * Above alb t else, the shild must be u healthy animal.” j Each patvnt may choose bqfwew* these wiileig differintf courses. As for myself, 1 am Inclined toward tite laticr rs the safer, inure normal method—the course that is liked? to produce, in the great majority of cases, the most wholesome results, both mental ard physical. The mother of a. three-yewr-old child wishes to know wh-hter shw should be taught to read i|Ut* winter. Doubtless, this child has tho in jalinoible blessing oC bcint# countrybrcd. She lias the chance to learn nature, and this Is a bet ter, broi ler aud a safer study than books at this age^ If the mother is Interested in ail tho llviirt, grow ing things about her, she can spend a p;.-rt of c*( h day in training her daughter^ eye to. see and cojinpre bend Hie miracles that are constant ly gtiing on u.round her. If tliie mother Is herself ignorant in this rt pot, :i good naturid history will ho the b^st of text-books for both herself and h^r child. The grass, the treesT the flowers, the crops in the fields, have a story of their own. The birds and insects, every ] living thing that creeps or swims or files is r. source of joy aid a fund of knowledge to the seeing •eye. Aside from the actual infor mation gained from nature studies, the sympathies are broadened, th. eye quickened, the corves streng thened. and every opportunity is given the child to develop into "a healthy animal.’'—Home and Farm.

A most Intending pro gram has been arranged and the da will be full of interest to all who at tend. The fact that SenMor E. D.

The Daughters could not have selected two more attractive speakers. The old veteran* of the county will be the guests of the Daughters at dinner, which will be served up stairs in the court house, and a large crowd is expected, not only from Bamberg but adjoining coun ties as well.
