in the pious Mr.. WANAMAKER's stamp &C

your eye on a man who mikes up his re-
ligion and business in the manner of our
postmaster-general. A man who con-
tributes alternately to missionary funds
and campaign corruption funds is legiti-
mate object of suspicion.

tits undoubtedly wrong that any system Of
education should in any way prejudice the
gaining of knowledge which is more or less
important to all students. and to some is
actually indispensable. great deal IS
said nowadays about education helping q
student to take an elevated or enlightened
rather than a simple commercial view of
life. But the boy who never learns either
Latin or Greek, yet who knows the history
of his own country and of modern history
in general. who has had a taste for litera-
ture developed in him. whose intelligence
has been sharpened by activity, and who
has been made to think and TO reason for
himself. deserves to be credited with a
liberal education as much as though he
had been student of Homer, Sophocles or
Plato.
