i Pref. Kiehle, the state superintendent
of public instruction, lectured lately in
the Baptist church at Sleepy Eye, h,s
subject being "The Relation Of Educa
tion to Civilization" After a state
ment as TO what the term civilization
means, he proceeded to his argument
which in brief was that an individuals
or nations education is the means OF
their civilization. The development OF
the resources Of the United States was
demonstrated to be owing to education,
and was aptlY illustrated by his word
picturing descriptive Of the Sioux In.
dian and the present population, and
the vastly differing ideas, advantages
and progress were plainly shown to be
the outcome Of mental development t.
Tie great demand for skilled labor was
emphasized and the tribute was paid to
the education received in the shop aa
well as in the school. The value Of a
| few pounds Of iron ore is but few
cents, but in the hands Of skilled
artisans made into halr-sprlngs for
watches, is worth two hundred thous-
and dollars. The tree in the forest is
worth but comparatively little. but in
the hands of the trained man, 1t IS
worth hundreds of dollars. By such
pointed and practical illustrations the
general question Of education was dis
cussed and ought to bear fruit in the
hearts and minds Of the audience. The
relation and value Of the Minnesota
High school system was explained and
word Of compliment was paid to the
citizens of Sleepy Eye for their interest
| in education as manifested in theschools
and fine new school building in process
Of construction.
