The Sumter Watchman was found

1866. The Watchman and Southron
?qow has the combined circulation and
mfluence of both of the old papers,

Disarmament Pays Germany.
Lloyd George, in laying tbe allied ,
ultimatum before parliament, ex- |
plained that while disarmament had i
not proceeded as it should in Ger- I
?many, still the Germans luul accom
?plished a good deal along that line.
At about the same time, ("harks
Schwab, after a trip to Europe, re
?ported the Germans as recuperating '
faster: industrially than any other na
tion, including the United States. |
Here is something to think about.
Primarily, disarming Germany was j
to remove her poison fang. Second- j
arily it was to reduce her internal j
expenses so she could pay more j
money to the allies. ^?fe*lc she has j
not yet paid any satisfactory amount i
of war damages, apparently she is;
already demonstrating- that the eco- :
. nomic. principle of disarmament is |
sound. 'She is still maintaining l?rg- |
er forces than she is entitled to. but |
in comparison, to pre-war days her
military burden is much lighter.
Simultaneously her industrial wel
fare* increases.
Strangely enough. Germany, which
by being disarmed. w:is to portray
to the world for all time the awful
late of militarism, offers instead the
lirstv practical demonstration of dis
armament as a factor in national
prosperity.
CLEAN BOOKS FOU CLEAN MINDS.
Somebody asked an up-to-date
woman if she had read a certain new
novel, one of the "problem'* variety.
,"No," she replied calm'y. "I don't j
associate with people li'ce that io. my j
daHyiife, nor number Jieti; among}
ray. friends. Why shoul.I I read about |
them ?"
.. It sounds rather priggish, but it !
Represents a sort of elean-mindedness J
ali too rare in these flays. It sets a I
good standard by which to judge I
reading matter. The world is full of j
sound, fine books which deal with j
life as it should bo lived an 1 is l:ved
y thousands of decent people every- j
where. These books, if they toucn j
upon immorality, do not gild it. They j
_ ortray it for the noisome thing i K j
and leave no glamour in the reader's
mind. Yet books which are written j
round what is sordid and unclean, j
n?V which gloss it with a specious j
plausibility, gain tremendous sale, j
nd that among (these very decent j
people. Why?
If more people refused to take into
their mindr- the unclean stuff which
they would never think of admitting
to their lives, what a cleansing of j
the book shop shelves there would j
be!' And still the world would be
ful of delightful reading.

IGNORANT COLLEGE MEN.
Thomas A. Edison, needing som? j
new brainy lately for his big invent- '
ing plant in West Orange. N. .)..
itbund when he tried f?? hire them
that most men who possessed well j
developed brains were "already Lu !
buMP.ess for themselves.*' He there-|
fore set about t<> develop some for i
himself, by "catching their owners j
while they were young.*' H<- tried to|
get hold of college men with the re-]
quisite mentality, and was disap- !
pointed. They failed inisetably in his ;
psychological tests.
"Most college men. are amazingly ]
ignorant." he comp'aiu.-'. "They don't I
seem to know anything." He refers'
to one college graduate who in his
?test was marked **X. V. Z." w 51:?-ii is
the lowest rating.
"The connection between that
man's senses and his mind." he ex
plains, "has hem atrophied."
There is the secret of a vas1
amount of educated ignorance, in this
world. The. college man undoubted
ly; knew a great many things?-with
hi:j mind. M:>st of them, perhaps,
were things useful !>> know, provided
the man knowing them were able
turn them to practical us.-. But be
had lost the necessary working ar
range men c between senses and mind
with which human Oeings are nat
urally endowed. He could no longer
learn easily and quickly, from his
own observation, as children do?that
is, from his senses t<> his mind-?nor
could he perform the reverse process
of letting his knowledge flow quick
ly and easily from his mind <>ut
through his senses, and into useful
action.
Here is, as Mr. Edison sees s<>
j clearly, a common defect of modern
[education, which grows worse as
j school work and college work bc
> come more stereotyped. The student
j learns less and less from observation
j from experience, from life itself, and
'more and more from books. Too of
I ten he gets into a state of mind
I where he can hardly learn anything
any more except from print,
j Unless he gets out of that state of
mind, he will make no more real
.progress and be of little practical
use to himself or anybody else.
Books are only helpers. The best
education is what the pupil or stu
dent gels for himself, from the in
telligent use of his own senses.
Thomas A. Edison thinks the
schools should teach children by the
moving picture method. He's per
fectly willing to help straighten out
the educational system, even if it in
volves buying the films from him.

Another live-foot sh< if of books has
been suggested, I" be made up entire

About the Peaco Treaty." Now for

The congressmen who object rest
strongly to American representation
on allied councils are the ones who,
object most strongly to decisions
made without such representation.

( OST OF SCHOOL FAILURES. I
- i
A school official in a city of 800,- ;
000 population reports that pupi's]
who fail in their grades cost the city j
more than $1,006,000 a year. That]
is the cost, he explains, of giving :
them the same work over again the
next year.
What is true for that city is prob !
ably true for others.' Take a given !
population and allow $1.25 or $1.50]
for each man. woman and child, and !
you-will have somewhere near the
annual cost of school "failures."
That, however, is only the first I
cost, and the least. The city has j
lost the price of a year's instruction
df the pupils who did not paas?a j
year's salaries for tin ir teachers and j
a-year's interest and depreciation on 1
the "plant'' and its equipment. But 1
if you carry thes*; children on a few ;
years, you find that the city has .:ls*> j
lost a year's work, a year's services !
in the community life, from as many j
as have been delayed in leaving school I
and entering productive- pursuits. j
And what of the children them- j
selves? There are times, no doubt. !
I
when a child benefits by being held !
back for a year behind the regular)
schedule of promotion. But such
times are exceptional. As a rule, it !
is probably time that the regular j
schedule is unnecessarily slow, that ;
an average child oir^bt to get through
it in less time. Therefore, as a rule, ;
the child who has lagged a year ii
h's school work has lost a year out
of his life. lie has lived the lost
year, t-? be sure; but that year vvou'd
mt-an much, mere to him in maturity.
This los.; of time is serious.
Xhege ought to be mere thinking
along this line, on the part of* edu
cators and ?>:i Um pan of th ? parents
and t,u- payeis. failures arc not in
evitable. There is a weil grounded no
tion that when a pupil fa.'ls to pass, il
is usually less his fault than thai of
his..".teacher er his parents. <t both.
Nyar.y a:I children a.iv bright: they
are merely less brich! in some re
spee'.x than others. Xcarly nil can
pass if their interest is aroused and
sustained. it is the work of the
schools to appeal to that interest, and
of the parents to support it in every
way possible.

Every farmer should strive to have j
something thai is the best of i-rs kin.I j
in the county or community.
It may be the finest Percheron. or I
Jersey, or Shorthorn, or Duroc, or ;
Merints the finest nr..ile; the best silo: |
the best terraced hills des; the finest i
patch of alfalfa: the prettiest home; !
the m<>st beautiful flowering shrubs >
or shade trees: the mos* fruitful or- i
chard; the best soy beans: tin; pret
tiest pasture or meadow. Or he may ?
content himself with producing thvj
earliest cotton bale each year, the j
finest butter, the most uniform sweet
potatoes, the highest scoring seed j
corn, tiv mos' luscious homy, or the
finest bird dogs.
It doesn't matter so much which of
your products is the best, provided I
only that you have the best of som ?- .
thing. F?.r the desire to have Tie- j
wry best of any one th'ng vvi'l En- ;
evitably breed in y ?u t'i<- qualities \
tha: v. ill" give you creator success i:: j
all other lines of effort.
The next tin;r we wish to urg ?
is this: Having made u;> your mind
to have the best of somethrgg, ar-j

find more zest and eagerness in doing J
your work.
Moreover, mak'ng ;ni exhibit will
help other people. Finding; that !
you have attained a high standard of !
