Education is like
io long- as a current is
through it the water is
and sparkling and al-ve,
ut let the currcnt cease and a
t pool with all its miasma
scum and moss takes its
phc. In activity is life, in dor-
mancy is disease if not death.
Our bo-ts are not moored to the
banks of the river of Life, but
afloat out in its current. A firm,
strong, steady stroke i* neces-
sary if we wish to ascend to the
cities of Fame, Honor or Suc-
cess. Crossed oars and folded
arms will very soon drift us into
the Unknown sea.

What can be done without a
teacher or a school? A great
deal. The whole question of |
home study presents itself. It
it possible to take one < r more!
subjects and by devoting leisure;
time to their consideration mas-
ter them before the arrival of the
time to begin the next term of
school. Hut thin would require!
a perseveren^e very few possess, ¡
an enthusiasm rarely developed
in a community county, I fear.j
Special study being un tesirable
to most youths, something must!
be found for them that will hold
their interest.

A new hook, especially if illus-
trated and in attractive binding
and treating on a fav j>ri' • theme,
is a joy in itself anil a great ed-,
ucationn! factor. Choice stories
of adventure and exploration, de-
scriptions of great scenes and
events, and lives of illustrious
men form a glorious constella-
tion that has lured the ga/c, tired
the ambition and induced mam-
an urchin to "Chain his chariot
to a star." Choice fiction has
taught many a boy and girl to
read intelligently, acquainted
them with manners and customs
of others, introduced them to
new scenes, awakened their emo-
tions and has made real reader*
out of whole armies of "word
callers." Let youths he taught
to take care of books and in
nearly every community there
will exists a free library larger
than those that most youthful
heroes of past agrs had access
to. There are few hook owner ,
indeed, who arc not happy to
loan their volumes to those who
they feel assured will read, care
for and return them. Kstimatinir
but fue books to the home and
fifty homes in a community,
would make a self-organized li-
brary of two hundred and fifty
volumcs, all accessible to any
cí refill, ambitious youth. Young
men and women of Burleson
county, improve your time be-
tween school terms. You have
the opportunity.
H- UIUHICM S.
If books are serviceable, pe-
riodicals are especially so. With
the arrival of each issue a great
mass of new material for thought
is presented and there does not
appear the amount of sameness
found in nearly all books. Kach
issue of a newspaper is apt to
contain articles on politics, gos-
aip, news, science, discovery, hu-
mor and, in fact, every point of
the literary compass is apt to be
•wept The parent who has
children who have acquired a
taste for reading grievously sins
against them and his nation if he
does not supply their need in
this respect. The youth without
literature, who loves to read, and
yet spends all his spare cash for
West India goods and the like
and does not subscribe for a
good paper for himself, deserves
to remain a hewer of w¿>od and
carrier of water for other peo-
ple. Reading of good papers is
advancement. There are many
idle hours in each week, and if
they are wasted we waste life it-
self. tiladstone carried a book
in his pocket that no moment
should he lost, anu nearly every
great man, who arose through
his own exertions, pursued a
similar course.
Marden tells us: "One hour
a day withdrawn from frivolous
pursuitsand profitably employed J
would enable any man of ordi-
nary capacity to master a com-
plete science. One hour a day I
would make an ignorant man a
well-informe I man in ten years, i
*
One hour a day would earn
enough t«> pay for two daily and
two weekly papers, two leading
magazines and a dozen good
books. In an hour a hov or girl
could read twenty pages thought-
fully, over 7)MM pages or eighteen
large voluntes in a year. An
hour a day might make all the
difference between bare exist-
ence and useful, happy living.
An hour a day mipht make
nav. has made an unknown man
a famous one, a useless man a
benefactor to his race. Consider,
then, the mighty | ossibilities of
two, four, six hours a day that
are the average thrown away by
young men and women in the
restless desire for fun and di-
version !"
"Time is money," we fre-
quently hear. We do not throw
away dollars, then why do we
waste hours? Kducation is no
will-o'-the-wispor ethereal vapor,
but a stern reality, and we must
have it or suffer. Let us im-
prove time between terms.
S<liool District.
It g-ives us much pleasure to
learn that at the last sitting of
the commissioners' court anoth-
er school district was organised
in this county. This is a favor-
able si¡¿n that Burleson county
is slowly awikening. Come on;
which will be next? Adminis-
trations will change soon and
vour community may be too late.
Your school law will show you
how t<> keep your school from
annual death.
