Education.

"a we'll educated gentleman may
not know MANY languugcs-may not
be able to speak any but his own
may have read very few books. But
whatever language lie knows, he
knows precisely; whatever word he
prononnces, he pronounces rightly. .
But an uncducated person mey know
ny memory any number Of languages,
and talk them all, yet truly know not
word of any-not o word OF his
n."-RUsKiN.
How sadly do we mistake the term
educated We think, forsoo,h, il
we arc enabled to go.through college,
pass creditable examination, and
sport diploma, We are educated!
How many graduates of the present
day are prepared to do anything use-
fuls Young men leave college with
the idea that labor is degrading.
They reason thus: II am IN educa-
ted gentleman, l must not waste my
talents at farming, or caypeAsesing>
Oh, 70! l must keep my hands white
and clean, wear kid gloves, and be O
lnwyer or preacher without even
considering whether they arc mental
ly or morally qualified for these posi-
tions.
Equally erroneous are the ideas
prevailing in regard to female cduca-
tion. A young lady leaves the sem.
mary thinking she is prepared for
every emergency she is likely to meet
in society, and SO she may be. She
can dance, sing, play and talk nom
sense with her admirers. She may
even be able 10 appreciate q good
book and talk seusibly TO older per-
sons, but can she bake, sew, dust, or
has she any idea Of the many small
matters necessary to make home hap
py2 She may be so situated in lifo
that she will be compelled 10 learn
all these things. and if she has not
great mental and physical strength,
will find these duties she has been
taught TO regard as menial, very Xxx
some.
Even in her so called accomplish
ments she is very superficial. The
same author from whom we quoted in
the beginning, says: "a woman may
always help her husband by what she
knows, however little; by what she
lalf.knows or mls-knows, she will on
ly tease him." w.

WE observe from our exchanges
that q number Of school townships in
various portions of the State are
making arrangements to organize
graded schools by local taxation. All
the schools operating under this ex-
pertinent for some time are in Wig
orous and satisfactory condition, and
fully warrant the opinion that this
method is sure way Of reaching all
classes. Besides it is the only plan
by which our schools can be kept
open any length of time. 1t is fool
ishness to depend altogether on the
pnblic fund TO run school for eight
or Ten months in the year. The snr-
est plan ia to supplement this fund
with private fees. We haye tested
this ourself and we know whereof VIC
speak.

Story ola Great Inundation.

.
sarics is the nineteenth Of November,
(the 7th by her reekoning,) on which
st. Petersburg was overwhelmed by
the most devastating flood which if
hns ever known. that Of 1924. During
the three previous days, = very strong
westerly wind had forced back the
floating ice Of the gulf into ths mouth
ofthe Neva in such quantities as CON-
pletely to block the river, at that
time swollen 70 an unprecedented
height by one Of those sudden thaws
which often occur at the beginning OF
the Russian winter. the water con-
tinued TO rise so rapidly That during
the whole night Of the eighteenth Goth
old stylc,) watchmen w:aGc stationed
along the bauks, while the ringing Of
bells and the firing Of alarm-guns
were unceasing. Many Of the intlab.
itants, fearing the worst, got togeth-
cr such OF their belongings Us they
could carry off, and fled for their
lives. They were not an hour too
soon. Early on the following morn
ing the rivor burst its banks, the can
ais ovcrllowed at the Same time, and
within = few hours two-thirds of the
main city was under water. The
houses upon the low-lying islands
beyond the river were even more com.
pletely submerged, and the air was
filled with tue crash of falling build
ings, the shricks Of women and
children, the inccssant booming OF
signal guns from the citadel, and
the roar of the surging waters, which
rs they deepened, "hirled along wag-
ons, barges, septry-boYcs, loads OF
Lay und the corpscs OF men and
beasts. Toward the afternoon, boats
began TO ply through tue streets, in
order to rescue the inmates Of the
threatened houses; and The reigning
Car, Alexander l., was himself
among the foremost in the good work
But Notwithstanding all efforts, ,as well
as the rapid subsiding Of tho flood
toward niShtiall, the havoc was very
great. Upward of $4,000 buildings
were destroyed in ST. Petersburg
alone, and $50 lives lost without reck-
oning the scores who, having taken
refuge upon the trees in the Admiral.

perish misc,ably by the mcrcilcss
