"THE NEED AND VALUE OF EDUCATION." This was the subject of Dr. Lyons' address to the graduates of the Anderson high school. We knew Dr. Lyons during college days and know that his educational theory and practice are thorough, comprehensive and up-to-date. While he is not a teacher in the specific sense of that word he has some excellent ideas as to what an education is for. It would be difficult to find a pedagogue who could give utterance to a more vital educational truth than s embraced in Dr. Lyons' first sentence, lie said: "Education has been considered the necessity of some, the luxury of many and the privilege of all. The truth is education is an obligation universal as the race, mighty as destiny and sacred as human life." lie placed the greatest stress on the obligation and regarded a sense of this obligation as one of the greatest needs of the hour. "There are three great reasons, "said the speaker, "enforcing this ob-

i;rnifn. The economic, the utilitarian and the spiritual reason. Each of

these reasons is taken up seriatim ard illustrated by numerous examples.'

"Eli Whitney, by the iuvention cf the cotton gin, made cotton king nml slianed the development of his tountrv. Booker Washington, by his

industrial education, becomes a great economic benefactor. He is vastly more than this, but this alone is both ereat and srood. A graduate of a

university became the Potato King of Kansas because, having studied the chemistry of the soil and of the potato, he made the soil fertile, and the potato fine. This is the economic reason for education, and it alone is sufficent to establish the obligation." "The second reason is deeper still. The usefulness of man is vastly increased by education. He is fitted ly it for higher quality and great ei

etTieiencv of service. David Starr Jordan was wont to say

man's duty to raise himself to the highest power.' T may serve

lowmen as plowman or vinedresser, 1 nt if more valuable service is possible to me I may not be content. Daid cai-ed for his father's flocks, with what fidelity and efficiency all the wcrhl knows. God took care that he should render the world a higher seiviee. The rail splitter becomes the president for the same reason. Here are two great maxims for the life of man. Give of the best that's in you and make that best better.

It's education that makes man's best, better. It takes the rough ore of nature and turns it into the finest steel of commerce. "Of the education of which I speak the schools have no monopoly There' is no absolute form or method or instrumentality in education. Lincoln's education was great but it was not of the schools. Yet the schools sum up the world's wisdom to date in the methods and instrumentalities of education. It is one man in a million who will become educated without the help of the schools and he would be better educated with their help. To the others they are a necessity. But wherever or however it bt gained, education prepares men for larger usefulness. Education is nor, r luxury, not an accomplishment education is power and power is man'? equipment for service." "The third reason is deepest of all. "Education enlarges life and therefore increases power. I saw the other day an armature on its way tc the shop where it is to be used. It weighed fifty tons. Its maker madeit great that it might do great service. Beyond that he had no thought or care. God would have men great and He would have them do great service, but His first thought is tc make men great. The fullness of the stature of perfect men in Christ.

That is God's thought. The educated mind gives greater iov to life. Itts

a jy to the astronomer to look up, to the botanist is a great joy to look

down. Bur life is more than iov, and education is obligatory because it

adds to life.

"Here are four great corner stones of character. Religion, Love, Rev

erence, Fidelity.

"Education cannot create those but it may greatly foster and develop

them is but the garnishing of a sepulcher.

"If these and kindred virtues aie possess?.! bv the life Mien education

becomes the process which develops and directs them. "An educated intellect is a feathered arrow.

"The inner life alone can stronsly draw the bow and truly direct the

arrow's flight."

The subject of the school and education is foremost in the public

mind iust at this time and a careful reading of the above excerpts froir

Dr. Lyons' commencement address -will be both helpful and suggestive. He

speaks not only from years of experience but from a broad and extremely

lion partisan platform.

"Next Monday will fion or a Mer- M'i:iI Dav

be Decoration Day. Will it be a day of eelebra-

Tliis will dpend entirely oi the inclinations of

those having the exercises in charge."

The above appeared in the editorial columns of the Palladium yester

day and some have construed it as a reflection on the members of the Grand Army who usually have memorial exercises in charge. Nothing of the kind was intended. "Those having the exercises in charge" do not refer to the Grand Army. As we understand Memorial Day, it is not for the Grand Army comrades alone, but a day for the American people to revere, by word and act, the memory of the brave soldiers who fought and died to preserve this 'Union. The American citizen who is indifferent to the duties of this day, is forgetful of the suffering and sacrifice of those who made it possible to have a Union like ours. The American people celebrate the Fourth of July this is an event in our history. Memorial Day is a day set apart not to celebrate but to patriotically and lovingly pay tribute to our soldier dead. It means more than this. It is a day to honor the living heroes as well as the dead ones. It is a day to teach the school children the most beautiful and patriotic chapter in our nation's history. When we properly commemorate this day, the whole people will assist in memorial exercises, religious services; they will be represented in processions and will folllow the old soldier as he goes to the city cemetery and the country church yard to place a garland on the

About four hundred people assem

bled at, St. Mary's hall last 'night to

listen to the lecture on "Ireland" by the Rev. Father Byrnes of Lafayette, who came here under the auspices of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. The lecturer was introduced by the Rev. Father Mattingly, who was a college companion of Rev. Father Byrnes. . Father Byrnes has traveled considerably and is in a position to make contrasts, and in his lecture on "Ireland" he speaks from a personal knowledge having spent six weeks in the land of his fathers. His first sight of Ireland the mountains oi the County Wicklow reminded us of

the words of the poet in telling of a priest's visit to Ireland after an absence of forty years: "Och, Ireland, how good ye look, Like a bride in rich adorning And with all the pent up love of my heart I bid ye the top o' the mornin' " The speaker said the story of Ireland was told in her ruins. The round towers, a great many of them built centuries ago still standing as an ex

ample of the master architecture before the coming of Christ. During

the famine of 1847, some men in Ire-

and charitably inclined had several

ound towers built in order to give

work to unemployed men and these same towers are today crumbled tc

dust, while those built hundreds of

years ago are still standing and in a

good state of preservation. He spoke

of the scenery of Ireland her lakes and rivers, cliffs and hills, the beau

tiful green carpet in evidence everywhere, the heather, hedge, the haw

thorn blossoms and the holly-growing

in profusion everywhere.

In speaking of the people he said :

"Unless you are introduced in Ire

land you will remain a stranger forever. The women especially stand back from a stranger with a modestv

characteristic of the Irish women, whereever they are. The young girls of Ireland are healthy and beautiful,

chaste and modest, and they are kept at home as long as possible while the pick of the boys the large, hand

some, broad shouldered fellows leave for foreign sboi'es, and the 'runts' remain at home." He spoke of the thousands of acres of fine land used onl yfor pasture lands and the

old houses where the tenants used tc live have been razed to the ground. Father Brynes' description of an Irish kitchen was certainly entertaining. He said the furnishings were meagre but comfortable. There was the plain, comfortable chairs, the set

tee, the large open hearth, and the "chimney." Here hung pans as bright as they could be made, the potato masher, white and clean and every thing of use in perfect order, cleanliness predominating everywhere

"One piece of Irish mutton is worth sixteen beefsteaks in this country"

said Father Brynes," and the bacon, there is none so good in the whole

world. He had the pleasure of stand

ing on the ground where Sir Walte Raleigh planted the first potato.

Father Byrnes' peroration on the

Ireland of the past and the Ireland of

today was simply grand and his hear

ers were almost spellbound. He spoke

for over two hours.

If there vrere not another external skin disease known, eczema would be a sufficient Infliction on mankind. It pervades all classes, and descends impartially through generations. While some are constantly enveloped In it, others have it confined to small patches in the ears, on the scalp, on the breast, on the palms of the hands, on the limbs, etc., but everywhere its distinctive feature is ft small watery blister, which discharges an acrid fluid, causing heat, inflammation, and intense itching, scaling and crusting. The Cuticura treatment is at once agreeable, speedy, economical and comprehensive. Bathe the affected parts freely with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales, and soften the thickened cnticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, or Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood. This treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, burniDg and scaly humours, and points to a speedy, permanent and economical cure of torturing, disfiguring humours, eczemas, rashes and inflammations, from infancy to age, when all other remedies und the best physicians fail.
