HOW EDUCATION is SHOWN.
Prof. Butler Gives Certain Character.
lstics by Which to judge a Man.

W'fNH ~ NAAHN - WoNls
Any one can tell a gentleman by
looking at his back. but II takes close
observation to discover by cursory ex-
whether n man is educated
or not. BY education we do rot mean
merely the fact that a man has gone
through a high school or n college and
made the motions Of receiving an edu-
cation. But we refer to that training
Of the mind which receives and grasps
facts, and understands them In the
light Of past wisdom.
Professor Nicholas Murray Butler. OF
Columbia university, New York. has
given five rules by which any one may
tell an educated man.
First, is the correctness with which
he use his mother tongue aud the pre-
cisiOn Of his idiom. The educated man
moves easily among his words Of Sax
on, Roman and Greek origin as among
old friends. y
Second, in the man's manners. Not
the veneer that may be put on or of
as occasion serves. but the genuine
habit Of the man himself.
Third, is the power Of reflection.
Given an idea, the educated man will
throw upon the subject the light of a
number Of correlated facts that are com
pletely beyond the power and ability
of the uneducated.
Fourth, is the power to grow. Uned-
ucated minds cease to develop at "A Ger
tain point. They become non-receptive.
Fifth, is the ability to do. Retire
ment from the world and contempla-
ton are no longer signs of education
and enlightenment. The modern man
Of education must accomplish things.

Costly Discipline,

A popular Cleveland doctor tells this

reached the mature age of 2 years. after
an early career marked by many wild
and mschlevous pranks.
Ills restless nature had made him some
thing OF torment TO his teacher 1T
times, and one afternoon not long ago she
kept him after the others were dismissed
and had serious talk with him. Per-
haps she was little afraid that her ad-
monitions were falling on stony ground.
Anyway, she finally said:
II certainly viii have TO ask your
father To come and see me"
Don't you do st." said the boy.
The teacher thought she had made an
impression .

your father
