Thus with one sweeping censure does

Does Education Paw

In a recent issue Of The World's Work is
an edifying comment on the question Of
whether liberal education may prove a
profitable investment. 1t is in the form OF
two letters from Junior in a prominent
engineering school who has been getting
some practical experience in the field the
past season. After weeks work at 'fchop-
ping trees, pulling down fences and driving
stakes in sloppy and miserable marsh, ''he
wrote to friend
81 wonder if there isn't glimmer OF
sense in the opinions Of these Schwabs and
Colers? Most of the men in our Office are
fellows who have worked up from rodmen.
For a college man to pass them would be
extremely difficult. They have picked up
in the Office enough mathematics to serve
them. They have confined themselves to
just the things they need, and have become
specialists, able to do their work with the
greatest smoothness. In this matter of civil
engineering doubt whether college man
has better chance than an ambitious fell
low who goes into it as trade without ever
seeing college,"
But week later he wrote: ''Please burn
my last letter. Three days after I wrote,
the design for new bridge was sent in, and
the chief sent for man to go to work on
the job" Then he relates that one of those
whom he had envied-''six years in the
Office, and certainly a capable mani
reported for the duty. 'The chief talked
with him for some time, and then sent for
me and gave me a regular college quiz
until my head swan. Then he said: Re
port to the engineer on the new bridge"
While the college man was packing his
box to go to his promotion the PRACTICAL
man came up to him, and said, disconso-
lately: EsYou see what it is to have a col
lege education? I've been in the office
six years, doing all kinds of work, and
they won't trust me on the bridge The
chief knows you are familiar with the
theory of bridges, and, without question
ing your experience, he puts you on the
job and sends me back to that beastly
marsh.'' The upshot was that the col
lege man lent the other fellow his books.
s'I think will take back" he said, in
conclusion, "what l said about college
education. 1t seems to have a certain
amount of very practical value.u

Saws cubans Want Annexation,

Lexington. KY, Dec. 24.-"You will
see an instruction on the island Of
Cuba before year has passed." said

night from a visit to his brother, Lieu
tenant Lucien Young. DR.. Young says
that the thinking class Of Cubans de-
sire annexation and that if the ques-
ton were submitted to a vote it would
be carried. AS matters stand, he
predicts that the Cubans will prove
incapable of government, and that
their unrestrained prejudices and the
ignorance and discomfort of a certain
class will soon result in uprisings. He
says that number of officers to whom
he talked shared his view that an
nexation is the hope Of the island.
