JONES.
written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY o. c. SIMPLIFY.

Behold that dropping willow tree
BY yon ione-Eooking cot;
There old Jones has sat many time,
And worldly cares forgot.
That little path across the fields,
And through the chestnut grove,
Leads to the rum-shop on the road.
The place SO many love.
All, poor old soul ! he's gone TO rest
At last-no bottle now
Can bring him cheer, as in old times.
Beneath the willow bough.
The ivy and the myrtle creep
Above his crumbling bones;
Yet many a worse man lives today
Than this same drinking Jones.
A heart of tenderest feeling he,
With all his faults, possessed;
And ever ready to obey
Humanity's behest.
Some mad impulse oft led him on
Like Bobbie Burns TO live
But God is good, "and goodness still
Deiighteth to forgive"
SO many pious frauds there be,
Despite their tears and groans.
Compared with them. on the home run
I'd take the chance of Jones.

cational spirit Of our times have not
done for him? The only thing that my
experience teaches me is sometimes lack
ing in the case, is brains. Of course
when that is wanting the end is known. 1
have known people who acted sometimes
as if they thought the institution of
learning ought to furnish brains. But
it can not. Diplomas may be issued, de-
grees granted in some cases, where the
question of brain has not conspicuously
entered, but they cannot stand for educa-
tion nor impart culture.
In addition to the vast amount of time
and means devoted to the work of edu-
cation, the great variety of schools, rang
ing from the kindergarten to our great
universities, including industrial, tech
nical, and professional training of all
kinds; and in most Of these quite wide

range of elective study, all go to increase
the young mans opportunity, to not only
obtain an education, but the education
which is best adapted to his nature and
his needs. Many young men whose con-
dition in life compels them to work dur
ing the day, obtain good business edu-
cation in the night school or by CORES
pondence. To be sure much depends
upon the nature of the employment dur
ing the day, as to results of night study.
But I cannot but reflect what it would
mean to the young man who works at
manual labor in the shop or on the farm
all day, if instead of walking a mile OF
more at night to spend the evening in
idle chatting, nonsense or worse than
nonsense, he would cultivate the habit

of reading-or studying those two or three
hours whicHare thus practically thrown
away eyery|da What the young man
may be. and become, by simply wisely
using his spare moments Surely no
age offered moresih the way of literature
of all kinds than ours. tits no small fac
tor in the line Of education to keep
thoroughly posted in the news of the
day, and to know something Of current
literature and history. Unparalleled
facilities are Offered for education
of this sort, and, in fact, of every sort.
My observation, experience, and philos-
ophy, all drive me to the same con-
clusion, so far as educational facilities
are concerned-surely they never were
better.
One other aspect Of the case is worthy
of a moments notice, however. 1t is
The Conservative, 1901-08-15

better libraries, more papers and
magazines and refined taste--ali
adornment of life almost as rare as it is
beautiful. The mercenary spirit of our
age is, in my Judgment, the greatest foe
of education and religion. In our hurry
to get rich we have scarcely time to be-
come either learned or pious.
The Opportunity to Do.
Is there any room in the educational
world for the young man to do something
for himself and others? Is the business
not overdone? Have we not more appli-
cants for positions in the learned profess
sions than there are places? attended

ity. And the question we are to discuss
will be more clearly stated: What are
the young mans opportunities in the
educational world today?
In general it may be asked when were
they ever greater in the history of our
race? When was there more money,
means of all kind and time exacted and
consumed upon the altar of education,
than just now, at the beginning Of the
Twentieth Century? To me it is one of
the signs of the times-an evidence that
the world not only moves, but is perpet-
ually onward-that men who have mil
lions of dollars at their command are
laying their money at the feet of educa-
ton. In 1880 the college wealth Of the
United States was probably estimated
fairly at $4,000, 100000 all told, 1886, ,0oO,-
10000 of which was acquired between
the years Of 1870 and 1880. Even more
phenomenal is the increase in college
and school property of all kinds since
1880. 1t is simply marvellous exhibi-
tion of converting the lower and grosser
products of the earth into the higher and
more refined; the temporal into the
spiritual; the material into moral and
spiritual energy. Whether the increase
is in proper proportion to the increase of
the nations wealth as whole is doubt
full, and that much greater improvement
might be made along this line we do not
deny. But what has been done is indie
ative of progress great and mighty; it
is suggestive of opportunity for the
young people of this and coming gener-
ations.
This opportunity is two-fold: an
opportunity to be or become, and
an opportunity to do. Opportunity is
the fitting time, is many instances the
only time, for doing or being. 1t is one
of the most suggestive words in our
language. Happy, blessed, indeed, is
the man who sees his opportunity and
has sense enough to seize it when it
comes. There is an old Roman maxim
which says opportunity has hair in front
but is bald behind; you can seize her
as she approaches, but if she once gets
by, Jupiter himself (the president of the
gods) cannot oyertake her. The great
trouble has been for centuries that so
many people have eyes, but they do not
see; ears, but they do not hear. They
sit on the fence gaping while opportun-
ity goes by.
What more can be said or done in
order that the young man might be edu-
Gated than at the present time?
1 do not here touch the ques-
tion of whether in some ways
and conditions it is not being over
done, simply ask the average, wide

this: There is after all
a want of time in this
"hurry up" age of ours.
Young men, sometimes
from choice, oftener from
necessity, are driven to
neglect their education
for business. They do
not have time, or at
least, think they have
not time for study.
And the time factor can-
not be eliminated from
culture Of men any more
than from growth of
trees. This is not to be
attributed so much to de-
feet in our educational
methods or facilities, as
to false notions and Gus
toms of life. The ten
dency' is toward undue
anxiety concerning what
we shall eat, what drink,
and with what be clothed.
The Great Master warned
his disciples against such
folly. Greater simplic-
ity of living would
mean longer and better
living; it would admit
of some leisure for study.
Less eating and drink
ing, and less servitude to
fashion would mean
les, more papers and

Philadelphia, Penn.-Twenty known
dead and property loss amounting to
upward of 100000 is the result of n
fire which occurred in the business
section of the city. Over Il score of
persons were injured, and they were
treated In the hospitals. The buildings
destroyed were the ei%ht-story struc-

stricken throng on the street below
turned sick at the sight. In the front

desperation, leaped from a window

only n few of the heartrending scenes
attending the conflagration.
