PROTESTS AGAINST EDUCATION.

When Sir William Berkeley, governor
OF Virginia, wrote to the lords commits
sloners of plantations in 1911, that he
thanked God the colony had no public
schools, and that he hoped there would
be none for "A hundred years, seeing as
learning had brought disobedience and
heresy and sects into the world, he was
not far wrong about his facts so far as
he went even if he was a trine narrow
in his sentiments, More than one sur
vival Of the Sir William Berkeley view of
education asserts itself, but here are two
which arrest especial attention. Club wo-
men of Belleville. ILL.,, are alleged TO
clamcr for the abolition of the high
school for girls because learning causes
a dlsinclination to enter the servant girl
ranks-ths being a result to be classed
with hcrcsy and sectarianism. With a
similar outlook, an influential Alabama
newspaper solemnly deplores the educa-
ton of black men for the professions. on
the ground that such education is laying
up trouble Sir William, the Illinois wo-
men, and the Alabama newspaper rep
resontatiVes of the 18th and 10Th centur-
les, are jointly and severally correct
there can be no doubt. Learning makes
trouble-brings disobedience and heresy
keeps the girls out of all kitchens except
their own, and might give a black law
yer more cllentes than white one across
the street. Underneath his petulant an
tagonlsm to tho schools, the virginia
governor showed his consciousness of the
unrest which learning brings, and of the
upheavals which education causes, pre-
cisely as it is shown in these modern In
stances and in a hundred others that
could be cited. True it is that learning
upsets the established ORDERS to the in
convenience of the comfortable and the
ahrighting of the timorous. But TO what
purposes is all such scare? None of these
within their limitations, can turn the
world aside from the search for knowl-
edge. however certain the rise of heresy
or the extinction of the servant girls
Humanity does not stop to reason out
the question. but it is persuaded that
whatever the ills of learning may be, the
ills of no-learning are worse; and in
practice, if not in words, it SCOTS at the
predictions of a bad time coming, Quiet
ly and firmly it walks over the Sir Will
liam Berkeley contention now, as it has
always.--Harpers Weekly.

The UbinuitOus Scot.

Mr.. J. Foster Fraser, who. not con.
tent with cycling round the world,
lately returned from railway trip
through Siberia and other far eastern
parts. tells a story about the ubiquty
Of the Scot. Once he landed at place
in the Persian gulf, which sounds like
Rundera bbus-cven if it is not spelled
so-and asked whether there was any
Britisher about. He was directed to
an isolated cottage or corrugated hut,
which was the abode, he was assured,
of man who had been sent there to
keep an eye on the plague. He knocked
at the door and was invited to come in.

PROFESSOR KILLEMOFFSKi.

Professor Killemoffski had but one su-
preme delight.
Which was to nnd some certain way In
which to win a fight.
He cruised right round that thought until
he made a gun so great
And powerful that 1t could sink a navy
while you wait.
And when ne had that gun complete 30 It
would send shot
Right through an armored vessels side and
sink It on the spot,
He set himself about Il Just as firmly to
create
A warship made of stun no gun could ever
penetrate.
And finally he built a boat, and did his
work so we'll
That gun of his could never drill a window
through its shell.
Its sides were some new kind Of steel so
tough and firm and stout
That all the guns In Christendom could
never knock 1t out.
And yet he was not satisfied. but studied
day and night;
He lunched on smokeless powder and he
dined on dynamite.
The fierce expression on his face was proof
beyond a doubt
That there were other problems still for
him to figure out.
He went away Off by himself and built a
secret mill,
Twas fifteen miles from nowhere" and
he camped right there until
lie found a new explosive so all-powerful
and fierce
That 1t could send a she'll through steel no
other shot could pierce
He still kept on inventing; every gun he
made would shoot
Ten times as far as all the rest and twice
as straight to boot.
Until. at last, he made a gun that shot so
far, alack
The ball went clear around the world and
hit him in the back
But maybe It was for the best for, had he
lived. full soon
He must have made gun with which to
shoot away the moon
And Venus. Saturn. Mercury, and Jupiter
and Mars
And on and on and on until he shot out all
the stars.

JOKE ON THE MINISTER
Two Latest Pieces of Gossip
From Sweden.
JOKE ON THE MINISTER

Stockholm. March 21.-There are now
two bits Of news of considerable interest
to high society which contrast tragic
episode in this capita1 with another which
causes broad smiles wherever it is re-
lated.
During the progress of ball given by
tile officers of the garrison Of Gothenberg
a young girl lost her life wholly owing to
the military character of the festivities.
While dancing her skirt caught on the
spurs of a young officer. she was tripped
10 and fell to the floor. To the amaze
1rent of every one she lay there, per-
fcctIy motionless. An examination show
ell that her hairpins had pierced her
skull, causing instant death.
The joke is on the Swedish minister of
Finance His butler. on entering the eel
lars the other day, discovered that the
casks Of brandy had been surreptitously
elnptied of their contents. The poor man
was much agitated, the more so as he
could find no clew to the identity Of the
perpetrator.
But the buffers predicament is slight
compared to thai of his master, who is
the object of a solemn inquiry from the
Riksdag as to whether the minister 5
stock of spirits was laid in prior to the
25 per cent increase on spirits, unfortu-
natelv proposed by himself. The minis
ter is silent. and the butler is told that
