FIVE.
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

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 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

advance in thought in this state

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

peare, Sir Walter Scott, Robert

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 ?

- He summoned the young man to

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

The Cost ot Cannon.
Heavy ordnance is not quoted
in the steel market, and it has no
established price in the hardware
trade. 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.

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."
