In this manner which to 'LuiU a new s. en.i halt 1h da.nrers of tOO great a a.verinj a n. i vet there Is a eonsuni Interchanae of Ideas, which leavens tha whole educational system of this country. "We do not often Irave the opportunity to acnd aome hight.and look down and see what progress is be ng made, but we iiere ml the close of the nineteenth century can look i back with pardonible priOe and ebserve the wonderful achievements of this ae. I "For centuries, however, the thougat or the people turnel continually to the past.

They constantly sought the orlg.n fcnd gave HtUe heed to the development the present and thoughts of the future. Their greatest aim was the perpetuitlon of the ideals of their, ancestors, and the educational system so developed and nurtured eventually became static and slowly cruT.bied awav. The fifth century before Christ was the greatest from an educational point of view that the world Iras ever known, In thit brief period of time were crowded all of the wonderful. Greek whose names have come down posterity. with the exception of Aris totle.

Demosthenes, and Homer. This little, country situated In the heart or the or.entai world aeveiopea tne nrst Ideal of Individualism. The Greek e.lvill xiticn made the man, but unfortunately It rap to the other extreme. Its lrst Ideal of Individualism and harmony was the greatest conception of education which the world up to that time had ever known. But the power of the Individual Raining strength with' etch decade developed democratic principles, which slowly forced out the idea of harmony, and the wonderful Greek civilization fell a victim to its own great system.

"The Human civilization which followed the Greek and for 700 years was the wonder of the world. waa formed Targly on the principles of the Greek. nut lost in transition many of the ex tnetiv and higher principles of Greek learning. It was eminently more practical, and. profiting by the example of their sister republic, the Homans, while encouraging Individualism along certain lines, made It always subservient to the good of the State.

In the more modern tlmea" there has been a constant battle between the two principles the i repression of the individual and subjection of the masses for the good of the whole and the development of democracy Each principle has been carried to extremes and each has been so modified that the two are now running In cbannebst while still seo arate. are slowly moving In the same direction. The French revolution witnessed the extreme vof the democratic principle and led to a reaction which has been of great benefit "to the present civ iUxatlon. the revolution in England In the seventeenth century, contain two lessons which are patent to all. and have so far obviated the necessity of a practical demonstration of.

the evils 'of excessive democracy "The problem for us to day to jrrasp Is a mesa between 'those fwft great forces. We have, the rich heritage' of ther.pas.t 1n which to delve; andtsttidy. We are Jot fettered by 'tlx prejudice of former methods, but are free tO' ch'ose from the whole world of edueft tlonal Ideals that which to ua Is Ideal tT.ie 100.OJ0 teachers In this eountry have grand wora before thenr. for ft s' their tpwer to make; America the center of the world In learning anl. educltlon and make the social development of this country the great et the world has ever known.

To do this they must educate the youths of the land along the line of an Ideal Un whio'j Individualism Is' tempered with harmony; anarchy must be held in check, and the nation taught that, while as in dividuals they can assert themselves, they roust at the same time recognize tee rights of others." THE LIBRAHIAXS. Effect of "Peralciofjat "Literature Osj the "Vonir.Invetlgntloa. At to day's session of the Statt "Library Association. Miss Ueaen Tracy Guild, of the Hamilton Wayne, told of a visit to the Torbes library, Northan. Un.

Shf described In detail the arra agon en of the library and mentioned the rules fof 'Tts management. The paper presented" many new ideas to most of the members of the' association V. A. Hester, superlntenflent of the Evansvtrie schools; read a paper entitled The School Side." In which he. treated of tha evil effects of pernlckma on the young.

The time had come. he Said, when more attention must be given to the moral training ef the children; this burden fell upon the public schools. Bad 1'terature had more to do with leading th? rung astray any other single Influence, He spoke of an Investigation, that wis nrd'Je in the EvanavlUe schools under his supervision. A systematic Inquiry was made as to the kind of reading indulged in by the pupil of the school" Seven hundred and fourteen pupils answered the questions askei. The Inquiry showed that .107 boys and fifty three girls were reading dime novels; that S3 per cent, of the boys and 69 per rent.

'of the glrU who were reading trashy stories had lost interest In thedr studies. attendance Upon school was: compulsory, and most of them hid serious difficulties In school. Mr. Hester said the picture was to him a aad one. and one that, seemed to be so Uttle understood.

In fallowing up his investigations he wrote to many reformatories and prisons for Ir.formation as to the eft set of bad literature. Superintendent Keely. of the Indiana Iteform School for Girls and Wo an's rri.on said in her' tirst letter to Mr. Hester that she thought there was only sirl la the Institution' whose downfall could be attributed to bad literature. "Later she.

rsade aa Investigation by asking the girls about the matter, and she. found that thirty six of the girls admitted that they had been led astray through the reading of trashy stories. Superintendent Charlton, of the Iteform Schcol for Boys, wrote that he ished he Could speak of all that he had seen during the past sixteen years. He mentioned one boy who read dime novels until he robbed his father. anl taking the name of one of the heroes in the book started Went to lead the life of a bandit.

He Is r.dw In the reform school. Mr. II ester' read extracts from letters from prison chaplains and wardens in all parts of the country all speaking of the evil effects of ua. wholesome He believed Ihe remedy was to read good, books to the children until they hsve formed a liking for wholesome stories. There was no lack of ood books at.

this time. The reason the young do not read them Is because they do not want to. He" mentioned that In Evansville 2.0t juvenile books have been 1 placed 'fn the public schools. The children are learning to en Joy the wholeifome 8Krteat they contain. and wilL In ttme, he believes, be pre The members of the State Uhrarv Aa.
