dent of the Club, who made capital
toast master He made a short con-
gratulatory speech, and introduced A.
L. Colston, as the first speaker in the
prize debate" upon the relative merits
of scientific and classical institutions.
Mr. Colston represented the scientists
and spoke as follows:
Before we can discuss intelligently
the relative value of different kinds Of
training we must first ask ourselves:
What is the purpose of an education?
The purpose of an education is to teach
us how to live BY living we do not
mean mere existing, put to live in the
fullest sense of the word, with the full
enjoyment of all our faculties and with
deep appreciation of our surroundings.
Herbert Spencer has divided the ac-
tivities of life into five different
classes.
1. Those activities which directly
minister to self-preservation.
,. Those activities which by securing
the necessaries of life indirectly minis

3. Those activities which have for
their end the rearing and discipline of
offspring.
f. Those activities which are involv-
ed in the maintenance of proper social
and political relations.
