Learning to Think.

In everyday life no fact is more
noticeable than the inability of many
persons to do their own thinking,
even in matters and upon lines Who'll
ly within the range Of their intcll-
gencc. They will see point that is
suggested to them, and will at once
understand its bearing on some mat
ter in hand, but they do not seem to
have the faculty or art Of raising
points for themselves, and consc-
quently their action is not as intclli-
gent rs it might be. If given rule
to work by, they wil apply it not
only in season but out of season,
and will look amazed if one suggests
that, under special circumstances,
they should have varied their usual
procedure. Every employer and
ovcrSccr of labor knows to what IN
extent this is the case. 1t is the cx-
ccptional workman who really thinks
and who can therefore be trusted to
suit his action to circumstances. And
so in nearly every sphere Of lie, Il
kind Of automalism seems to be the
rule, and intellgcn, Sclf-dircction, in
the light of present facts, more or
less the exception. One is, therefore,
tempted to ask whether in conncc-
ton with our system OF education
some gymnastic might not he de-
viscd for the special purpose Of
teaching the rising generation to
think.

clarcd. The treasurer OF the com
pany, in explaining the matter, said
that the company had a surplus Of

was made and the stock increased to
