Views on Educational Mat
ters and Hobby Riding
To The Newark Journal:
Hobby-riding is a great game.
Thruugn some ten or twelve mor
tal columns of your paper a cer
tain Prof. Reynolds has been ca
reering on his hobby proving that
education is the direct and only
cause why a man in Massachusetts
or Michigan has more money than
a man in Arkansas, lhe next hob
by rider we meet will very likely
bring an equally imposing array
s»f tigures to show that it is temp
erance that makes the people of
Ohio so much more wealthy than
the people of Arkansas. Next
will come galloping along the hob
by-rider who will tell us that we
are poor because we mistreat and
trample down the ‘ poor nigger,
l'.ach of these hobbies has a rider
and can gallop just as fast, just as
far and just as recklessly as the
hobby ridden by J’rof. Reynolds.
But if any man in Newark wish
*»s to come to a just and reasonable
conclusion as to the value of the
Professor's hobby let him just look
at home. Who are the most ef
ficient and prosperous producers
«*f wealth in Newark'* Which
farmer farms the I est' \\ hich
mechanic does the best or the most
work* Is it the farmer or the me
chanic that, has been longest to
Kchool*
Nay, I will go yet further.
Who in Newark or in Indepen
dence county are the business mei ,
the merchants, the men of at!airs
who have made and saved the most
money? Are they the college
graduates, or they not? Can
any body in Newark or in Inde
pendence county point out the in
dividual instantances and show
that thus* men who have been to
school most have the most wealth?
But remember the Professor is
not speaking of accumulation, but
4*f production. The title of Ids
address is “l he Relation ot edu
cation to Production." (lather
ing wealth by mercantile dealing is
not production. It is the farmer,
the mechanic, the miner and the
inventor who is the producer.
The man who buys a telephone
and sells it at a protit is not there
by a producer, but the man who
makes a telephone and the man
who invents one are producers.
If we were to try to name the man
who has produced the most useful
things in the present generation,
no doubt we would all agree in
naming Thomas A. Kdison. He,
a,, a producer, excels all competi
tors. Yet any child in Arkansas
lias an opportunity to get much
schooling as he. He i ever was at
school two years in his life.
Prof. Reynolds says that Prof.
Holder, hy a scries of lectures de-;
livcrcd m perhaps two summers,
increased the corn ciop of Iowa
SO,000.01)() bushels! Is that any
thing less than a whopper? hut
here, it appears, the hobby got
iiis legs tangled, for if a single
l»rofessor by a single series of lee
tares can work a miracle like that,
would it not be cheaper to just hire
m few professois, say one tor corn,
one for cotton, one for wheat and
one for hay, and have them boom
Arkansas at once, by lecturing*
Jt would certainly lie cheaper than
to keep all our children in school
for nine months in the year for fif
teen years.
I had the honor recently in your
town to speak publicly in favor of
education. I believe in it. I hope
the time will soon come when the
farmers will be better educated
than they now are. By this I do
not mean that they should go to
school more than they now do, but
that they should read more than
they now dr. I do not desire edu
| cal ion for the farmer in order to en
able him to make money, but in
order to enable him to enjoy the
intellectual sunlight that streams
from the printed page. W hen we
make education I mean what is J
called a liberal education a mon- I
e.y-making scheme, we simply de
grade it. No doubt a technical
education in law, or medicine, or
engineering enables a man to make
money, but to tell ft boy that if he
will study grammar he can there
fore raise more corn or cotton, is !
not only to deceive the hoy, but it
is to belittle and stultify the teach
er's calling. Respectfully,
.Iamks Maui.in.

BRAIN LEAKS.
(From Bryan’s Commoner:)
A rea.1 Christian is never exclus
ive.
The little worries of life make
the great troubles.
The interested workman seldom
complains of his task.
A man can not reach and keep a
high place b.v low actions.
A clean heart and a foul tongue
are never found in the same man.
A lot of men who are always
prating about justice really want
mercy.
Some men are to be congratulat
ed on never becoming acquainted
with themselves.
Most of us declare we do not
like flattery, and then by our ac
tions prove that we are fond of it.
The trouble about accumulating
money is that just about the time
a man begins to get somewhere
near what he wants he dies and is
compelled to give it all up.
Solomon is said to have had 300
wives, but no reference is made to
the children. Perhaps Solomon
made his reputation for wisdom by
not trying to answer the questions
of his youngters.
HE SURPRISED HER.
The Stamps Democrat tells a
good story on a farmer living near
there, who wort; his old suit until
everybody was tired of it. and his
estimable wife was almost ashamed
of the hustling fainier who had
been inside of it so long. Hutone
da.\ while selling produce in town
he determined to buy a new suit
ami surprise Eliza. So he bundled
a new suit into the wagon, hurried
toward home, and at the wagon
bridge, two miles from home he
stood upon the wagon, peeled and
i threw the despised old suit into
the creek, then lie reached for the
clothes. 1 hey were gone had
jolted out of the wagon! The
night was cold and hi* teeth chat
tered as he skurrivd home. He
surpsised Eliza even more than he
anticipated.
Don’t deceive \ ourself. If you
have indigestion take K<ulo| Dys
pepsin Cure. It will relieve you.
Rev. \V. E. lloeutt. South Mills,
jV ('..say*: ** I was I counted with
chronic indigestion for several
