portance In the idea of cultivation. TIL
conditions OF the educated world have
however, changed SO profoundly sine
the revival of learning in Italy that on
inherited ideas concerning training il
languages and literature have require,
large modificatiChs. In the year 140
1t might have been said with trutl
that there was but one language o
scholars. the Latin, and but two grea
literatures, the Hebrew and the Greek
Since that time, however, other grea
literatures have arisen, the Italian
Spanish, French, German and above al
the English, which has become incom
parably the most extensive and variou:
and the noblest of literatures. Under
these circumstances it is impossible to
maintain that knowledge of any par.
ticular literatureiis indispensable to
culture.
The Store of Knowledge-In the
eighteenth century a diligent student
with strong memory and quick pow
ers of apprehension need not have
despaired of mastering large fraction
OF this store of knowledge. Long before
the end OF the nineteenth century such
task had become impossible. Culture,
therefore, can no longer imply knowl-
edge of everything-not even a little
knowledge of everything. It must be
content with general knowledge of some
things, and real mastery of some small
portion of the human store. Here is a
profound modification of the idea of cul-
tivation which the nineteenth century
has brought about.
lmagination.-The only other element
in cultivation which time will permit to
treat is the training of the constructive
Imagination. The educated world needs
to recognize the new variety of con-
structive imagination. lola in LA Bette
Humane" contrives that ten persons,
all connected with the railroad from
Paris to Havre, shall be either murder
ers, or murdered, or both, within 10
months, and he adds two railroad slaugh-
tiers criminally procured. The conLi-
lions OF time and place are ingeniously
imagined, and no detail is omitted which
can heighten the effect of this homicidal
fiction. Contrast this kind of construc-
tive imagination with the kind which
conceived the great wells sunk in the
solid rock below Niagara that contain
the turbines that drive the dynamos,
that generates the electric force that
turns thousands of wheels and lights |
thousands of lamps over hundreds of |
square miles of adjoining territory; or
with the kind which conceives the send |
ing of human thought across three
thousand miles Of stormy sea instan-
on nothing more substantial |
than ethereal waves There is going to
be room in the hearts of twentieth cen
Jury men for high admiration for these
Kinds of Imagination, as we'll as for that

genuine effective type.
Henry Fay Green is the name of the
new commissioner, and although he halls
from Duluth he has lived in almost
every section of the United States in a
comparatively short life. He was born
in North Carolina, moved to Chicago
with his father, who was an Episcopal
clergyman, went to school in Maryland
and graduated at Princeton. Then he
studied law in Baltimore and settled
down in Duluth. ]. Adam Bede picked
him out as the right sort of a chap to
be civil service commissioner, got the
Minnesota delegation to indorse him,
and found the president anxious to ap-
point him after he had looked him over.
Commissioner Green is little over 40
years old.

sky adds greatly to the happiness of life
and that this acquaintance should be
begun in childhood and be developed all
through adolescence and maturity. A
brook, hedgerow, or garden is an in
exhaustible teacher Of wonder, rever-
ence and love. We proceed to examine
four elements of culture:
Characteristic moral sense of the
modern world makes character a more
important element than it used to be in
the ideal of cultivated man. Now
character is formed, as Goethe said, in
the stream Of the world" not in still
ness or isolation, but in the quick-mov-
ing tides Of the busy world, the world
OF nature and the world of mankind. To
the old idea of culture some knowledge
OF history was Indispensable The ris-
Ing generation should think hard, and
feel keenly. just where the men and
women who constitute the actual hui
man world are thinking and feeling
most to-day.
Language-A cultivated man should
express himself by tongue or pen with
some accuracy and elegance; therefore
linguistic training has had great i'm

DR.. Stiles is the one who startled the
world few months ago with the an
nouncement that he had discovered the
germ of laziness-the worm whose raw
ages in the southern states had wrought
havoc in the social and industrial sit

There seems to be no doubt about the
genuineness of both discoveries, and if
DR.. Stiles has really found remedy
for both incidence and mosquitoes he
will have high place in the worlds

the most effective enemies of laziness

the grasshopper plague. The depart
