FROMJCHOOL Dr. Charles Calvert Ellis Says Education Gives the Child a Completely Developed , Character. That education must give a child a sompletely developed Me gist & the address on -The Meaning of ucatlon." ai given by Dr. Charles Calvert Ellis at the Wayne County Teachers' Institute this morning. He poke Instead of Dr. W. F. Book, who was unable to be present Education he said, "Is a thins at many sides and It would be possible Jot us to gather a large number of splendid definitions each of which has lone the world a great good. Dr. Ellis then passed In review the classicpa definitions of education as probounded by great teachers from Plato fo the present. . . "But we must not confuse education with schooling. They are not ynonomous. Some go to school until they are no longer educated. Neither tnast we confuse education with training. William Hawley Smith told of the Irishman who defined education as 'being on to one's job' but this Is inadequate. One may be trained as a (Worker without being educated as a nan. And while professional efficiency la essential, so slso Is the barBjooateua development of our powers. I History Important. "On of the wont thlnn that can pen to a child Is to cut mm on n vaiterdav.

"Education involves the formation right habits. We can do some entlal things well because we nave nned to de many unessential things automatically. "Herbert Spencer's definition of duoatlon as being adjustment to environment contains a fruitful truth but It la not new, as is sometimes thought It is as old as the world. Primitive Snan adjusted himself to his environment. So did the Spartan and so does the Chinaman. But the trouble with this form of education is that it so often sinks the individual out of sight In society. "I used to think the Declaration of Independence was written by Jefferson and Adams but I have Bince come to know that the sentiment expressed in it Is the fruit of a thousand council chambers and ten thousand battlefields. I am glad that the nineteenth century placed the stress it did upon Individualism. Train for Service. "But we discovered in the nineteenth century that it is possible to educate a man to perfection, according to the old idea, and still not save him from being useless or criminal. We are learning today that it is necessary to train a man for citizenship if he is to repay society for its Investment in him. As Dr. Butler ha3 eaid, 'Liberty under law is the last lesson of the study of history and oclety.' If we lose either liberty or law, education will fall into ruin. But I hope that what ever we lose, we will not lose the fruit of the long evolution that led to individualism. If ,ve lose that, we will go back to the 'stagnancy of China and militarism of i Sparta. The individual has worth as Swell as the group. r "The plus mark is the best sign Symbol of education because of the I great function oi education is to add rather than to subtract, its value consists more in what it gives to the child than in what It takes from it. "And above all things, I believe the Most essential Is that the public school hall preserve Intact the training and line moral Idealism -which children re'olve In Christian homes. The school lie not permitted by law to teach relllglon In Its curriculum. It cannot do it Doubtless, It should not do it. But jthere Is one thing the school can do and that Is to avoid destroying the religious life which a Christian home U. created." (expect local boy III HEW YORK SOON Although no direct word has been Gcelved from the tourists themselves, e families of the Richmond young Women who were touring in Germany, were much relieved this morning when a dispatch from London waB received bearing the information that "Prof. Uaertel, with a party from Berlin, arrived at London this morning."

War sentiment In Japan is ' strong, i Patriotic demonstrations took place in the streets today and a crowd gathered In front of the palace and gave cheers for the emperor. The declaration of war, issued yesterday against Germany seems to have the popular support of all political factions. Lands Artillery. It is believed that Japan will land a heavy force of Infantry and artillery upon the Peninsula Shantung to at' tack the German forts from behind. Confidence Is expressed here that the hostilities will be confined to a small strip of territory lying east of the Yellow river and the coast lying on the bay of Klao-Chau. Vice Admiral Ashiro, the minister of marine, and the minister of war, went to the palace, and held a long conference with the emperor, and gave him assurances, it is said, that Japan would have little difficulty in reducing the German works on the Chinese coast. Ambassador To 8a 1 1. Count Von Rex, the German ambas sador, who received his passports i shortly after Japan declared war yesterday afternoon, will probably sail for the United States on Thursday.

We have the best and highest priced talent that is offered in any county of Indiana. Dr. Charles Calvert Bills, whom I have tried to get for our institutes, is one of the best known man in institute work in the United States. "Wayne county teachers are far more fortunate than those In other counties. They are the best paid in the state. Four years ago they received on an average of $2.62 per day. Today they average $3.48 per day. Four years ago the average high school teacher received $3.75 per day. Today the average is $4.60." Prof. Williams explained that Dr. W. F.

CHEERS GREET GERIiil SOfJG AT ILEII PARK

When 'the Richmond Concert band began playing "Die Wacht am Rein" at Glen Miller park Sunday afternoon, it was clearly revealed that a large part of the audience were of German descent. The applause lasted almost throughout the entire number, which was one part of a medley of patriotic airs from more than twenty countries In the world. Next to the applause given "America" and "Dixie" the German air ranked high In popularity with the audience. The playing of this medley of airs, which as arranged by Tobani is called "Hands Across the Sea," is the best that the band has done this year. The audience, which at all previous concerts has been somewhat cold, seemed to warm up yesterday, and it was evident thta the European war has struck a keynote even with the crowds that frequent the park every Sunday. The national air of Austria was also applauded loudly. The airs of Ireland and Scotland also struck a sympathetic chord with the audience, but the national tunes of France and Russia, which are among the best musically, did not seem to appeal to the audience. FOR ORPHANS' HELP German Organization Votes to Aid Sufferers in European Struggle. A fund made up by eighty-four different German societies and being collected by a St. Paul representative, will receive money from the German Militalr Verein of this city for the assistance of widows and orphans of German soldiers. The following is an account of the meeting by the secretary: "The German Militair Verein of Richmond, Ind., resolved at its meeting Sunday, August 23, 1914, to make a donation of $50 out of its funds for the support of the widows and orphans of the German soldiers and sailors killed and wounded during the present war, and to give assistance to the great and noble work of the Red Cross society on the battlefield. "Great enthusiasm prevailed at the meeting, and although this organization consists of men who all have to work hard for a living, a number of them being men of advanced years, not a dissenting voice was heard and the motion carried unanimously. In a country where commercialism is so very pronounced and so many men Beem to be inclined to forget their humble beginnings, together with the language of their forefathers, after fortune has favored them, any act of unselfishness is inspiring, and, if war causes us to at least temporarily forget the almighty dollar, we must, indeed, admit that, with all its horrors and sadness, it also has its elevating quality. "The following committee was appointed to receive further donations for the above named purpose: Eberhard Bettenbrock, William H. Duntng, Sr., Fred Hackman, Hans N. Koll and Martin Bulach.

MEETING

SOCIAL EFFICIECCY GOAL OF. SCHOOL STATESPi GILES Superintendent cf City Education Says Courses Tend to Make Children Better Citizens. "Socializing ths- Schools" was the topic of Superintendent J. T. Giles' address to the Wayne county teachers' Institute this morning. Prof. Giles Is to give an address each morning during the week. In his Initial discussion he dwelt at considerable length on the influence which the schools are feeling from the world-wide movement toward the more complete soelllasation of Institutions. "We are now In the midst of a movement that is revolutionizing all our institutions. .The literature of our time, books and periodicals, our clubs,

our churches and many of our new organisations are "being steadily changed by its power. The Progressive party was founded on this movement. It has been caused by an idea. Ideas sre the forces that change our Institutions. "The new idea of socialization Is not over twenty years old, but it Is already revolutionising the theory and practice of our schools. Many new movements have proved themselves merely temporary, but there is every evidence that this new movement has come to stay. It is world wide and its causes are deep. See Social Need. "The socialization of our Institutions is one phase of the age-old conflict between individualism and collectiveism. We are discovering that man is a gregarious animal and that It is to his advantage to hunt with the pack. Circumstances made the nineteenth century American strongly Individualistic. But the development of the factory system has concentrated our population and headed ns toward a wider coliectivelsm. "Never until today were there enough goods to go around. This has placed on us the responsibility for equal distribution and made want and poverty a crime. "The great world-wide movement of socialization is affecting the school, both in its instruction and In its administration. "The old definition of education was the complete development of mind. You can't find that definition In any book published the last five years. Today we are accepting Prof. John Dewey's definition that the aim of education is to create social efficiency. "This new conception of education is revolutionizing courses of study. We are adding new studies and abandoning old studies and we are pressing all our studies into the interests of citizenship. "Vocational education Is one way In which the school is responding-to the great movement. Educate With Play. "We are using play as a means of education, and we are trying to Introduce the play motive wherever possible, and we are doing that because it helps to equip the child to fulfill its social functions. Once we educated the mind only. Today we understand that it is the whole boy and the whole girl that comes to school. "Although our discipline is better in schools than it has ever been before, we are beginning to feel the influence of democracy. The democracy in politics has brought democracy into our social institutions. "We are judging school methods by the social standard and we are trying to make our methods inside the school room to harmonize as much as we can to methods that are brought to bear on the child outside the school room. "This movement toward socialization is changing our methods of administration. We have longer school days and a longer school year. We have night schools. We are beginning to use our schools as social centers. We are trying to make the school serve the community better than ever before." ENTERS PROTEST ;t BY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. A strong protest against the alleged violation by the Germans of the rules of civilized warfare was filed with the state department today by Minister Havenith of Belgium. The Belgian protest came as the answer to a similar action by Germany with respect to the Belgians some days ago. Minister Havenlth informed the state department that Belgium had not been guilty of the violation of the convention In any manner, but that on the other hand Germany has been guilty of military practices not in accord wl(h the Hague convention. "Belgium." said Minister Havenlth. demands an international investigation, of the cruelty practiced by the German troops upon the defenseless Belgian peasants." WOMAN RECOVERS WITH PIN OUT Miss Ruth Mendenhail, a young girl In whose appendix a pin was found when she was operated on for appendicitis, will be discharged from the Reld Memorial hospital practically well In a day or two. When the cause of the trouble was removed the girl rapidly overcame the effects.

POLICE CRY FAKER

AS MAH DESCRIBES FATALJUTO SPILL Pencil Cls&sbt? Shaw cs Ncstt Tells Inconsistent Story cf Accident Probe Discloses No Fccts. A clever deception practiced by a discharged employe of Hlpsklnd and Bon. contractors who gave his name as Fred Shaw, deceived a number of citizens Saturday night unto someone recognized the young man and scoffed at his story. Shaw's game was to act dazed, enter a store and talk Incoherently of an automobile accident In which his sister was Injured and his mother and another sister were killed. It la believed by the police he was trying to secure money on this ruse. Shaw entered a drug store on Main street and gave his name of Fred Shaw, which he Is believed to have assumed temporarily. He then related a spectacular story of the accident which he said occurred near Cumberland, a small town near the Marlon and Hancock county Una. Tells of Crash. He said the party was traveling from Los Angeles to Pittsburg in the machine. At this point they were driving slowly, his story ran. A big racing car was seen coming from the opposite direction swerving from side to side. To permit it to pass, they drew up to one side and stopped, but their machine was struck. The fores of the Impact threw every one to the road side. He said he was knocked Insensible and when he became conscious he found he was In a physician's automobile being driven toward CePterville, a distance of forty miles from the accident. At this point a Richmond man interrupted him saying he recognised him as a man who had been laboring here for some time and had recently been discharged.
