Is Education Better Than Riches?
Editors Chat.


few TO assert that ignorance is better than
knowledge. though the former be gilt-edget
and the latter go about in holden homespun
A side issue has developed itself, however, in
the discussion. and that is What constitutes
an education? Upon this question the Editor
j asked to express an opinion.
During the discussion few have been found
TO assert that riches, in the abstract, is unde-
sirabe. ON the contrary, it seems to be the
general sentiment that riches, with education,
is a goodly thing. but that riches secured at the
expense OF education is not worth the cost
Very good, and now to the question.
Ii has been well said that education should
be three-iold-education Of the head, OF the
hand and OF the heart Indeed, nothing can
be more true. To educate the one and neglect
the other Is 10 produce q lop-sided growth.
Education of the head alone or mere book
learning, without practical application, renders
the poSSessor no more happy,-and certainly
far more helplcss,-tkan education of the hand
without development of the thinking qualities.
On the contrary, education of the hand to the
neglect Of the head is deplorable, since 1t
dwarfs the powers of both body and mind and
fOrbids aspiration TO things beyond mere plOd-
ding toll. Education of head aud hand, taking
no thought Of the heart, tends 10 miserliness,
or the narTowcs; Indulgence in selfish schemes
and pleasures.
Education. in the highest sense, should be
the first duty of all and should embrace the
following: First, instruction which leads one
TO think. second, instruction which leads one
10 work. Third, instruction which leads one
TO apply our knowledge for the benefit of our
selves aud others. To the development OF
thought book knowledge is necessary. To skill
in work manual exercise is required. To be
useful in our individual sphere and to society
around Us We must be familiar with the full
code of the moral law, as summed up in the
words: " Do unto others as you would that
others should 10 unto you" This is education,
and without it the richest is little better than
pauper and 4 social parasite.
a man may be well up in the classics and
yet be an iguoramus. A man may have for
tune at command and be the most abject thing
upon the face of the earth. After all, the whole
matter is Summed up in the Proverb mother
copied into her boys Bible when he left for the
West TO engage in silver mining: "A good
name is rather 10 be chosen than great riches. "

clusion every sensible woman will say hearty
amen. Not that any one should fly in the face
of established custom, but one can be we'll

happy melinn is what the sensible women
will Away study, and because there are so
many sensible women who are now doing their
