With this issue The INLAND EDUCATOR completes the fourth year of its life. By the magnificent support of our friends on the one side and by patient hard work on the other it is possible now to look back over four years of continuous and most gratifying success. The strides by which our circulation passed from 5,000 to 18,000 were firm and steady, though right in the face of hard times. We have already felt the impulse of returning prosperity through increased collections and we confidently expect that the next year will be far and away the best yet. Definite plans for the next year or two justify the belief that the INLAND EDUCATOR Will go into the twentieth century at the front of the line. We cordially invite all of our old friends and hosts of new ones to share the prosperity with us. On this general subject Dr. J. T. Scientific Scovell of the Terre Haute High Temperance. school is preparing a series of articles, the first of which appears in this issue of the INLAND EDUCATOR. Those who know Dr. Scovell and his methods of work understand that the subject will be treated from a scientific standpoint. His first care will be to get at the. facts so far as they are known and to make these, rather than any preconceived notions, the basis of his treatment. This honesty of purpose will bespeak for him a fair hearing even if some of his conclusions may differ from those commonly held. In this opening paper the subject is treated historically, with some interesting statistics and the general physiological effects. Following papers will enlarge the view and take up in detail the most interesting phases. In this connection it is a pleasure to say that it is Dr. Scovell to Las Vegas is a summer reA Unique sort in New Mexico, on the Summer School. Santa Fe railroad ; and here, in cooperation with the territorial normal school, Professor T. D. A. Cockerell of Las Cruces and Miss Porter of Leland Stanford university will establish a biological station for a few weeks' careful study during the summer months. The bright and sensible articles which Professor Cockerell has contributed to the INLAND EDUCATOR during the past year or two insure earnest and vigorous work on his part. He writes that his wish is not so much to draw a large number of students as to secure a few who are genuinely interested. It is a pleasure to suggest that any pilgrim teachers to the Los Angeles meeting who may wish to spend a portion of the summer in study arrange to do it at Las Vegas on the way home. We have no definite information as to dates or prices, but are sure Mr. Cockerell will reply promptly to any requests sent him to Mesilla Park, New Mexico. The Director of ElemenAn Opportunity. tary Education in France is quoted as saying "Every one who is familiar with the educational system of the United States refers to it as more practical than any other national system. We hope that you will send to Paris an exhibit containing an explanation of this word 'practical,' and if we find that it means something more desirable than what we are now doing in France, we are ready to develop our own educational system along similar lines." The French Commissioner General, too, has declared that through education and instruction man enters into life, and that they are the source of all progress. If these are sentiments that have actually come to control public opinion in France we may hope that not only a repetition of the Dreyfus disgrace but even so benighted a practice as race persecution in any form will soon become impossible. The fact that France is looking to America for suggestion in education imposes upon us a serious responsibility. We should at least make sure |
