Higher Education.
From the Worcester Gazette.

From the Worcester Gazette.
Those who plead the cause Of Latin and
Greek in our higher education should re-
member that colleges were first founded In
the early middle ages to teach the classics
to prospective priests. for use In reading
rituals, Greek in the east, and Latin in the
west, at time when those languages were
obsolescent In speech, and yet contained all
the literature. philosophy. poetry and such
science as the world Of Europe knew: and
the modern tongues. just coming into use in
Europe. north and south, had in them
neither literature nor other elements Of
learning. Colleges, SO begun. became the
fashion. Every college man was classical
man. and naturally, then as now, man
would feel that his own college culture was
the right one. 1t soon became a common
saying that the only education worthy of
the name was Greek and Latin. But now
modern languages are very rich In eyery
form Of literature and learning, everything
from the classics has been often emptied
into them by better masters than the aver
age student can fairly hope to be. LOSING
some. and also gaming some in the trans.
latIon, from languages which few scholars,
even ever learn to read and to enjoy; while
a wealth of scientific knowledge Of the
boundless world. which to know Is the real
learning, has sprung up in many modern
tongues.

reader. until suddenly he said:
I'm getting old, Boyd. These constant
attacks l have render me unfit to go to
town and sit in judgment on that pack of
silly women who rush to consult me when
ever they have a headache or an erring
husband. I think that very soon ought
to retire. I've done sufficient hard work

Oxfordshire. I'm nearly worn out"
"Oh. no." said. You mustn't retire yet.
II you did the profession would lose one of
its most brilliant men,"
Enough Of compliments" he snapped,
turning YEARLY on his pillow. I'm sick
and tired OF 1t all. Better to retire while
up you will step into my shoes. Boyd and
1t will be a good thing for you.'
Such a suggestion was quite unexpected
had never dreamed that he contemplated
handing over his practice to me. Certainly
It would be good thing for me II he did,
1t would give me a chance such as few
men ever had. True, was well known to
his patients, and had worked hard in his
interests, but that he intended to hand the
practice over to me I had never contem-
plated. Hence, I thanked him most heartily.
Yes. Sir Bernard had been my benefactor
always.
''All the women know you," he went on
IN his snappish way. you are the only
man to take my place. They would come
to you. but not to new man. An can
hope is that they won't bore you with their
domestic troubies-as they have done me, I"

really Is astonishing what a woman will
