The awful p»ln that
no lotlgv* can
Sif
Utrm to leaver
modern mind cramming.
The following criticism upon
the mode nnd msnrer of con-
ducting our public schools is
copied from the Rrownwood Ban-
ner* Bulletin, and given a place
in our columns on account of the
truths it contain?:
"A great deal i ow being
said about the modern methods
of education, ospeo.i iU> as in
vogue in the public schools.
The modern public school has
become a mind cramming ir.stitu-
tion that instead of fitting the
mind for retaining the useful
things to be learned in life, un
fits it for any real helpful learn-
ing. The boy of eight or nine
years now goes to school, his
back bending under the load of
books which he is expected to
study and master sufficiently to
pass an examination. In addi-
tion to hi* work in the school-
room he is assigned a line of
work for his hours at home and
to master his tasks must work at
night, The number of books haB
greatly multiplied and instead of
one reader he is expected to have
two or three of them. Instead of
a thorough knowledge of a few
things he gets a smattering of
many. His very training dis-
qualifies him for concentrating
his efforts when he arrives at
manhood. And yet, he is driven,
driven, driven until his energy
and his life are sapped. He be-
comes a mere machine for taking
into his mind all the things nec-
essary to pass his examination.
Mind and body become dwarfed,
health gives way, the eyesight
becomes bad, and the boy grows
prematurely aged. You often
hear it said that boys and girls
now are not like they once were.
They can't be. Modern school
methods will not allow it. It is
time to call a halt, and call it ab-
ruptly. The teachers will not do
it, for modern education is thej
result of modern normal methods
in which they have been trained.
It remains for school boards to
take the matter in hand and ap-
ply the remedy. The welfare of
the youth demands it, the future
of our children depends upon it
and the responsibility of calling
a halt in the modern mind cram-
ming methods rests upon those
elected to look after our
schools."
Late Stockholm dispatches
state that experiments have been
made at Marnia with the aerial
torpedo invention of a Swedish
commandant of artillery named
Unga, and that the experiments
are Baid to have been extremely
satisfactory. The details are
kept secret, but it is Baid the ma-
chine is not only an engine of de-
struction, but can be used for
saving the lives of ship wreck-
ed persons.

Several wealthy members of

ment that the Mormons have po-

Some of the Austin corres-
pondents of the state papers are
trying to make a bugaboo out of
the Texas alien land law. These
correspondents should remember
that the laws of Texas are made
for the protection of Texas peo-
ple, and there is not a State in
the Union that has as good land
laws as the State of Texas. True,
some of them are sometimes
wrongfully used and abused, but
the fault is not with the laws.—
