"A Little Learning"
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
I was very much amused by the letter In your
paper which stated that the writer, although a
college classically educated perBon. is obliged
to clerk In an uptown dry-goois establishment at
$40 per week. He also asks plainttvely what
availcth him his knowledge Of Greek and Latin.
This evidently very young seudo-omnesciolo
CYSTIC, cloi. pated Iobernowl should first OF all
spend a year or so In finding out what an edu-
Gated man is secondly. the uses Of education.
and lastly, the distinction between learning.
knowledge and education; and then. having ac-
Guired this, he can take consolation in rejecting
that. although he receives $40 per week for his
Counter Jumping which is not a learned labor
or. rather. pastime. that Shakespeare probably did
not receive equal hebdomadal dust for his writ
ings. Leaving out OF question whether Greek or
Latin Is necessary for j~unping-counter Jumping
or otherwise--this young man uses reasoning which
is popular with the ignorant, and. therefore. 1t Ii
fair to presume that he is ignorant himself, not.

In reply to "Facto Non vcrbo's'' communica-

one. The name and designation OF our country at
home and abroad the world over. is The United
States Of America; - this is the only proper name
for our country. "unitsi statcs' by itself Is In
complete. In the same way does an lnhabitant Of
the United Staes OF Colombia" call himself a
colombia" So does an inhabltant OF the limited
states Of Brazil'' properly call himself a ~"llra7il-
ian" "Facto non verba' does not seem to know
that the country he speaks Of as Mexico" is
properly and really ''Estados unidoz de Mejico."
or Emitted states OF Mexico" So the inhabItant
OF that country is q Mexican The name
American applies only properly to the in
habitant Of the United States OF America be-
cause there is no other country any part OF
whose name is America And II the name OF
our country was the United States without

Do the Doctors Know?

To the Editor:
Has the science OF medice advanced to that
stage when all that medical specialists pretend to
know can be trusted? Are they worthy OF our full
confidence and ought VIC to have faith In what
they promulgatc? DO they actually know any
thing about poison, and ought their evidence
have sufficient weight with d Jury to call for
the execution Of a human being? To my mind
this needs no argument. A number OF men
OF commanding intellect who have grown gray
in their profession. have given us n striking
object lesson on the point, and stand charged
with not knowing the quality nor the manner
OF administering poison. l refer to the killing
OF Tip, as being n notable exhibition OF the lack
OF actual knowledge OF how to use poison. Two
strong boys. each with a good club. would have
killed Tip In less time. C. BAXTER,
