SCHOOL EDUCATION ONLY STEP TO REAL LEARNING, SAYS OR, BRYAN

"An educated person is one who Is at home in the great bodies of social heritage so that he has multiform knowledge, manifold power, and Is balanced." said President Elmer B. Bryan, of Colgate University, head of the Wayne County Teachers Institute season at the Chautauqua. President Bryan occupied the stage for a short address Tuesday morning until the arrival of L. N. Hines, state superintendent of public instruction, who had not been notified of the change in the hour for his address. Mr. Hines spoke at 11 o'clock. "I have already talked to you about perparednes in the game of life, about sacrifice hits, come back determination, and the understanding that whoever runs, wins, in life," Bryan told the Teachers. "And today I am going to talk about human beings themselves and their supreme value. "The philosophy which puts agencies and organization as the supreme value, is rotten at its bottom. Every problem is a human problem and human beings are the supreme value of life." Human Problem Biggest "I believe it is true that he who is devoting his life to solving the human

problem, is engaged in the biggest business in the world. And I believe the way to solve the human problem is through education Christian education. "By education I do not mean merely going through the process, step by step, toward a normal school or college diploma. All the people should take advantage of such work if possible; many a man has become educated without one. W. T. Harris dropped out of Yale his Junior year because he believed i'ale had gotten him to the place where he could follow his own tasks, and

Landrith Keeps Crowd In Roar With Lecture

now .Harris Is going back again and again to lecture before not only the undergraduates, but the graduates of Yale. "Mind you the man or woman, is indeed foolish who passes up an opportunity to go to an institution of higher learning and make it give him all he should have of the educational things of life, but I know the difference between a college bred man or woman, and an educated man or woman, no difference where they received that education.

"Suppose through poverty or ignorance of their parents, some of our children have to step out of school at the fifth grade, I believe that it should be our duty as citizens and teachers to make them as perfectly equipped for life as the ingenuity of us can devise. Anything 6hort of this leaves much to be desired. A child of wealth should start in exactly the same place for some day he will be the employer perhaps of labor. Laws of Education Setting forth three laws which the educated person will have fulfilled the speaker said : "He who is educated will always

have been self made, for if he has had a college education ' he has made that college merely serve his needs while he has been educating himself. "H who is educated can't be stopped, while a boy may have been for four years in the laboratory of a college, may come out and get a $2,000 job and still be uneducated. He can be stopped. The really educated human can not be stopped. This other man may not be fit with it all to go into a voting booth, any more than he was before he saw a college campus. You can not stop an educated man by the loss of an eye, an arm or a leg."

Laughter greeted every remark of Ira D. Landrith when he appeared at the Chautauqua Monday evening in a humorous lecture, "Southern Plantation Fun and Philosophy." The speaker is possessor of a contagious humor which is most fitting in such a lecture as he gave last evening. Combined with Fun was "Philosophy," however, and in this too, Land

rith obtained the complete attention of bis audience. Race prejudice. Its narrowness, the lack of Americanism shown In Its use Is one of Landrlth's strong pointB In his Chautauqua work. Both on Sunday afternoon and again

Monday evening he spoke in behalf of the death of the pride we call "race pride," which causes us to hate the other fellow who happens to come from another race. On the other hand he said that lack of real, honest pride in the good things of their nation, felt by many people, means the "destruction." Funny stories of the side-splitting kind consumed a majority of the time in his lecture last evening.

y

The state of Indiana Issues contracts for the majority of school books, and these prices are not subject to change, except when the contracts expire, at the end of every five years, Thomas Nicholson, of the Nicholson book store said Tuesday morning. There will be a minor increase in the prices of arithmetics and readers this fall, and a few electives, that are chosen by the teacher, and which are not under state control, will be higher, said Nicholson. As the dealers are not allowed to charge over 12 percent more than the cost price of the books, they consequently are not able to profit off their sale, for there are always some books discontinued and left on the dealers hands. As a result dealers must sell their books for cash.

Second Bravest Man,

To Keep Oat of Politics fBy Associated Prcssi LOCKPORT, N. Y.. Aug. 26. Frank Gaffney, called by General McHale the

"second bravest man in the war" wants nothing of politics. He has declined designation by the Democrats for member of the New York State legislature.

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The members of the Richmond Commercial Club are specially anxious that Richmond be generously represented at the Hagerstown Horse Show and Free Fair on Thursday. Hagerstown has made great preparations to entertain, is putting on a great show, and is anticipating that Richmond Day will be a hummer. The decorated auto parade Is set for Thursday and promises to be a display worth going miles to see. This city will be largely represented in this

parade and the procession of decorated cars enroute to Hagerstown will con

stitute a show in themselves. A committee has been appointed by the Commercial Club to create enthusiasm and to get out a crowd who will go over with flying banners to participate and to make the day a success. This committee is composed of Lawrence A. Handley, chairman; Demas Coe, Frank Taylor, Phillip Twigg, H. J. Hanes, C. A. Harrison, Walker Land and J. W. Mueller. The committee has issued the following call to arms: You Are All Invited. "To Richmond Merchants and Manufacturers : "Next Thursday, August 28, has been designated as 'Richmond Day at the annual Horse Show and Free Fair at Hagerstown. The merchants and manufacturers of Richmond, as well as citizens in general, have been given a very cordial invitation by Hagerstown to be present on Thursday afternoon as special guests. The Commercial Club has accepted the invitation and now calls on all merchants and business men to respond by being present. A Commercial Club committee has arranged plans as follows: "Meet at Commercial Club, North Ninth and A streets, at 12:15 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Those who have automobiles are asked to use their cars so that others who do not have cars may be transported. The Richmond

City Band has been engaged and will head the automobile procession to Hagerstown aboard a special truck. Badges will be provided all members of the Richmond delegation. Every merchant and every manufacturer should be represented on this trip. Thy are expected by Hagerstown citizens. Do not disappoint them. Fully three hundred Richmond citzens

should be in the delegation Thursday afternoon. Remember the time, 12:15 o'clock. Be there. "Committee." Exhibits Pouring In. When Newcastle day dawns on Wednesday morning the show will be in complete order. A whole lot of work has been done at Hagerstown during the last two weeks and the entertain

ment committee is entitled to a lot of credit for that which has been accomplished. The horse show alone would be a creditable affair, so numerous are the entries.' The horses will be divided into their separate classes by Tuesday night and be ready for the exhibit and awards on Wednesday morning. Pauls' United Shows occupy a lot of space. The tents are scattered over interesting streets, and all is now in order. The show arrived on Monday morning and the trained men who travel with it soon had every tent in

place. Numerous lunch stands have

been set up and are already catering to the crowds of exhibitors who are already thronging the town. Hagerstown is a tented city, and already the busiest place in Indiana. But see it on Wednesday and Thursday, and attend the various live stock sales on Saturday if you wish to see a first class country fair in action. Not only will all adjacent towns be represented but also the entire forming community for long distances and from several counties. Premium List Large. The premium list is so large and varied that it would be useless to attempt complete description. The best breeders and largest farmers are represented in the live stock displays, and the pig and cattle clubs of both Wayne and Henry counties are putting on a competitive show. Don't miss the Hagerstown show. Go as early as possible and stay as long as you can. SERGEANT SNYDER MEDICAL EXPERT, HAS RETURNED HOME

It's Easy to Peel Off Your Tan or Freckles

This Is what you should do to shed a spoiled complexion: Spread evenly over the face, covering every inch of skin, a thin layer of ordinary mercolized wax. Let this stay on over night: wash It off next morning. Repeat dally until your complexion Is as clear. soft and beautiful as a young grlrrs. This result is inevitable, no matter how soiled or discolored the complexion. The wajt literally peels off the filmy surface skin, exposing the lovely skia beneath. The process is entirely harmless, so little of the old skin coming off at a time. Mercolized wax Is obtainable at any drug store; one ounce usually suffices. It's a veritable wonder-worker for rough, tanned, reddened, blotchy, pimpled or freckled skin. Adv.

POOR WOMAN MAKES SACRIFICE "For years I have doctored for indigestion and severe bloating with gas; all my money had gone for doctors and medicine which did me no good. I had lost all faith in medicines and as I have to work hard for the few dollars I earn, was afraid to risk any more money. A year ago my neighbor told me to try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. I have found it to be the best medicine in the world and am ptad I made the sacrifice." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the Intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.
