The Aim in Modern Education. J. II. Boldridge in Baptist Courier. Education, in our day, has a definite meaning. significant, aim, and purpose which, formerly, it did not have. Scientific teachers are working intelligently to^ wards the accomplishment of specific results by the use of means well suited to effect their deliberately formed and noble ideals. J Dr. YV. T. Harris, the Com missioner of Education of the United States, says : "A harmonious development of man in body and soul into a noble human character, in whom the sensual is subordinate to the intellectual and the intellectual to the moral, is today, as it was in Festalozzi's time, the highest formal aim of the education of the individual." Again he says: "Above all things, then, our times require a harmonious, natural, and scien tific perfecting of physical, mental, moral, and economical development of the individual, especially in his mutual relations with others. They require the body to be strengthened, the in^ tellect trained, and the will disciplined." The present scientific methods contain all that is good in all tho oldor systems of education and add such other elements up our advanced knowledge hap demonstrated to he necessary. Seventy-five years ago, and later too, tho college Btudont was expected to study Latin, (iivck, and mathematics as bept lie could and recite to the satisfaction of the teacher. If he did his work well he w;ir considered to he all right and received, in due time, his diploma, aa a matter of course. That method trained the intellect; hut, except indirectly and romotoly, it not only ignored the will and the sensibilities but often perverted the one and starved tho other. The result was what might reasonably have 1.^ ?, r? a uccii uajjbuioii. rruquent COliOge disturbances and riots were the nntura) consequences. It ia not t enough to cultivate the intellect alone. It may not he easy to ?tate the difference between the present and the older aims in teaching, but the mention of aev eral things may be helpful in tha direction. 1. The piesent scientific meth od ih more distinctly ethical it its aim than were former ineth ods. It deliberate!}' tries to so cure better moral results. I positively declines to apply tin term education to that whicl j lacks moral decency. It culti vales the intellect even mor< { fully and more thoroughly thai j the old system did ; hut it goe i further and aims to refine aiu improve the sensibilities and t< trausform the intellectual treas lines into rules of voluntary action. The will, then, as ii nature so also in education, be ing coordinate with intellect am * I. . f I HeusiDiiiiy, assumes its propel office arid function of controllin( power, while intellect furnishei guiding power, and sensibility supplies propelling power. Thui a well rounded and complete sys tern of culture is made possible No matter how much Latin Greek, physics, chemistry, mathe matica, a young man may know if he has blunt and brutal senRi bilities and undisciplined will, hi is not to be considered as edu cated. The young man who though he may know the wholi of the old curriculum by heart has not self-control to leave of cigarettes, whiskey, profam swearing, licentiousness, am many other things, is not, at pres ent, specially in demaud any where. The young man who hai not "tact," which is really thi name of the exercise of just am refined feeling in actual dealing with others, is not apt to do i great deal in the world. A promi nent college professor said, las year in a printed article, that thi I will cannot be directly cultivated I ? A--' ? 1? A r* i vjurtainij not. nut tnere is n< advance in thought in this state ment. Neither intellect nor sen sibility can be cultivated directly Means must be used. But, b] the use of the proper means, a the proper time, in the hands o competent teachers, the will am the sensibilities can be cultivator as positively and as advantage ously as the intellect can. Jus at this point the greatness of th< true toacher makes itself mani fest. 2. It is more communicativemore missionary than the olde; education. It aimB to impart it blessings to as many as possible It desires to share its riches wit! the less highly favored. The old er education lias a strong ten dencv to be exclusive, aristocrat. ic, proud, supercilious. It mad< a great deal of titles, degrees literary fads. It looked with i measure of disdain upon tin great unwashed throng. The ain of modern education is to read ! with training every one who wil {profit by it: it is inclusive; it i democratic; it delights in uplift , nig the masses ; it is humble ; 1 does not consider beneath it I notice anything which pertain I to the welfare of mankind.

Buti iI the rule of the demagogue means i - j tho failure of democracy ; for the *! demagogue gives no guidance?: i! he follows with flattering selfa cffacement. the momentary mood i |of the mob. The true demagogue! ^ J loudly repudiates any pretension J - of knowing more than 'the peo 7 pie.'" The present aim of edui cation is to urge the claims of - knowledge,training and efficiency 1 so as to reduce the dillioulty of r securing competent leadership. ; If is patriotic to the core.

The old curriculum was uniform The young men were all to be put through the same machine. A regular '' course is all right and proper, 9 but outside of that men may be ' < educated according to their natuf ral endowments so as to become 9 the greatest possible benefactors J to mankind. William Shakes. peare, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Burns, Alexander l'ope, Thomas A. Edison, Herbert Spencer, and hosts of others did not take the regular curriculum. Why should a man be compelled to pore over 8 dry and distasteful rubbish when 1 all his capacities, abilities, and - tastes, lead him in an entirely t different direction? James B. 9 Angell, President of the Univer. sity of Michigan, says : "1 once o knew a boy in college who evinced no interest in any of his regular work. He was deemed hopelessly lazy. He was generally busy * at making caricatures of his fel^ low students and of the professors. t Onn rluv a noMVotm-o f ? f professor, which had much 1 amused the students, fell into the 1 hands of the professor himself. - He summoned the young man to t his room. The student went with 9 some trepidation, supposing he was to be reprimanded. But the wise teacher said to him : 4 You seem to have a talent for drawing. No one of the faculty has r been able to find out what you b were made for. All have de. spaired of making anything of i you. But evidently you are in. tended for an artist. You ought to go abroad and study art.''' "And then, having himself lived mnnv VA?ve in IlnniQ K!? g J " 'VV.IIV, lit. f,tlVO II IC astonished and gratified hearer I ' suggestions concerning the best 1 method of pursuing art studies, R and tendered him letters to dis3 tinguished artists at Rome. This h indolent student followed the ad1 vice given him, and became a p painter of distinction. Thotime . Iv counsel of his teacher was the t making of the man." The more directly students come in contact I with the professors the better. | The inspirations resulting from association with teachers of ex'* alted personality is ol priceless " value.

The Watervliet arsenal, however, reports the cost of the goods it manufactures, and some of the more striking figures are as follows: Twelve-inch hr??ch. loading rille, $39,248.15; another style is $1,444 cheaper; 10-inoh breech-loading rifle, $23,424.48; 8 inch breech-loading rille, $12, 2G9.22; 6-inch rapid-fire gun, $7,527.06; 3-inch breech-loading rille, field piece, $2,677.20, though there is another style that cost a good deal more. The 12-inch breech-loading mortars cost only $10,352.57, and the 10-inch mortars cost $6,866.57. This report doeB not give the eost of ammunition for the large guns, but the Frankford arsenal makes blank cartridges for morning and evening gun fire for 33 cents each. If A Man Lie To You.

WsIt Whitman could not raise j the *r>0 fee necessary to he paid before he could enter the canvass j at a candidate for Governor, but lie is a benefactor of his people nevertheless. lie is fighting the Standard Oil trust, and no doubt that combination ot cormorants , ia quaking 111 ita boots at the for. midabiu competition. A dispatch j to the New York Herald exi plains his plan : u Whitman conducts u small j grocery store here, and when Colonel Jones ruled him out of , the primary he maoe a specialty jot selling kerosene oil, and an| tiounced himself in the public I prints as an opponent ot the (Standard Oil Company. In order to get his supply of the fluid he ihil upon aa orgiuai idea, 1 he 1 2v A TO H fl 1fi M; r' f For Infanta an<* C^^lr^n.

NCW TORI CITY. owners of the cotton factories hereabouts all run stores in connection with their plants, using as a medium of exchange aluminum checks, which are taken at I the store in place of money. Of I course these checks are not good at the dispensary, and the factorymen often find themselves unable to get their drams, for the simple reason that the dispensary is a State institution,and the state will not extend any oue. So Whitman offered to redeem a dollar's worth aluminum checks for 80 cents in real money. The factorymen approved of the idea, and he has been busy ever since raking in the alumiuum checks at a profit of 20 per cent. With | these checks he coes to the far i tory value of the checks, lie then disposed of it to his customers at a small profit. The morning after Colonel Jones refused to allow him to enter the primary, Whitman inserted in one of the local papers the followiug advertisement : "I sell kerosene oil cheaper than the Standard Oil trust. I am also in the race forGoven r until I die. G. Walt Whitman." All laughed when they read the "ad.," but they all knew it was I a true expression of the old man's j intentions, and if he continues to isell oil as tast as he has ?inee he I hit upon th?=* aluminum cheek (idea, there is very little doubt j that the next time he runs tor Governor he will ride od the r.u'| road train and not a bicycle." % oit lin u? v? hut Vim Arr Tuhlu I When you take Grove's Tast ele-* CtyM!
