Then, to quiet his nerves, the
emergency reporter went and
absorbed a high sarsaparilla
while he waited for the replies
of the editors to come in. He
played a game of pin pool, and
then he went back to the tele-
graph office. A response to
every one OF them announced
the editors acceptance of the
emergency reporters terms and
urged him to get the message
on the wire at the earliest pos

Scientific and philosophic pursuits
have provence just as exhalted: for
in their highest speculations they
reach the heavens; in their service
they belong to the earth; they provide
food for our commOnist wants as we'll
as minister to the best in our moral
natures. For the true chemical phil

looses all low predjudices and mean
superstitiOns and belittling desires.
They disappear in the overpowering
majesty of nature.
The doctrine that the laborer should
understand the principles of his work
instead of working as mere machine
goes to show the need of greater op-

MECHANICAL VS.. LITERARY TRAINING

MECHANICAL VS.. LITERARY TRAINING.
The progress of the world is so
marked that it can escape the atten-
tion of no one. Who can fail to see
our wonderful advancement, when we
compare the rude hut OF the primitive
man, or even hole dug in the ground
which served many as dwelling,
with the houses of today with all the
modern conveniences? Or again. when
we compare the mental condition OF
that time with the high standard of
today. this fact is brought very forci-
bly, before us.
The next question which presents it
self to our minds is, to whom are we
to give the greater part of the honor
for bringing about this change?
Is the credit due the statesman, the
poet and others of the literary class,
as many would have US believe; or is
the scientist, the philosopher and the
warrior greater factors in bringing
about this change?
We will go to the very beginning of
civilization, which Is the discovery of
some useful arts by which men obtain
property, comforts and luxuries. The
desire of preserving this advancement

The most perfect society is the one
in which the greatest number of per-

If you study history CAREFUL you

any degree of perfection in its institu-
tions unless it has progressed to a
high standard in the mechanical and
natural arts. From this we draw the
conclusion that to have a successful
and powerful government, it is not
only necessary to hear great authors

! the accumulated labor, enterprise and
| ingenuity of the inventor and scien-
tist.
There is no operation of manuel
