Charles Dudley Warner, in his re-
cent grafton at Dartmouth College, said:
"Nine persons out of ten make the OBJ
ject of life to get money, holding books
of the least value. 1t is not surprising
that society talk is .yapid, lacking seri-
BUSINESS and ambition. If the object Of
education is to fit men and women for
this purpose, then the position taken by
many high authorities is the right one,
but it is not in the direction pointed
out by the philosophers of the past.
Purely scientific education is only half
an education. There is great need of
experimenting practical education with
ethical culture.
