THE educational fad will probably
be long in passing, since it appeals to
the mental vanity Of men and women,
no one of whom desires to be con-
sidered less capable of advancement in
science and letters than his or her
fellow-mau or woman. To be an ex-
cellent newer or a proficient drawer of
water offers no palliation All par
ents desire above all else to have their
children ''highly educated" in 'book-
learning" as though brains for the
p~lucking grew on the branches of the
curriculum. The waste of money,
time and opportunity in this direction
is beyond computation, but it will be
so for all time, | suppose, though here
and there are TO be found men willing
to hazard popularity for the sake of
telling the truth. Ian Maclaren has
come out against what he calls "over-
education" In q recent address be-
fore a teachers association in England
the writer said 40 one ought to be
educated beyond his measure and thus
rendered useless for his natural work.
On the other hand, no one should fail
to receive that education, however ad-
vanced or costly, which his talents de-
serve.

legislation. Our counsel, Mr.. -,
will see you. 1t must be stopped

Now, if that we're a genuine tele-
gram it would never have seen day
light; but it is merely a play to the
galleries-as it were, to amaze the
understanding Of the fool groundlings
and make them content with the stone
that is given them for bread. 1t may
work for a while, but we have Abra-
ham Lincoln's assurance that ''you
may fool all the people a part of the
time, or a part OF the people all the
time, but you can't fool all the people

The BARRIERS we're not satisfied until
they got State supervision, and they
are not happy now because the super
vision they asked for supervises.
They make me tired. This is the
plant they now put forth through
their Association:
The board Of examiners for BARRIERS
pretends to see infection in the bar
ber's finger tips, the palms Of his
hands, in the crevices OF his furniture,
in the razor, scissors, comb, cuspidor,
ETC., and enforces new rules which no
barber can keep. Nor are they in the
least necessary, except a general
cleanliness. But behold, the officers
reserve the right for failure to observe
said imposed and absurd rules to re-
woke the offenders license; that is. to
deprive a barber of a lawful occupa-
ton and of making a living in our
"old Missouri" They have actually
been doing this for two years. They
abuse and threathen BARRIERS, cause
their arrest for what they style mis-
demeanor, fine them, demand OF gray
from.practice BARRIERS examination, a
knowledge of skin diseases, and in
general, subject them TO needless ex-
animation.
The idea Of licensing a barber ia in
itself absurd, and was urged in the
first place to crowd out neophytes and
restrict apprenticeship. Next, l pre-
sumo, coal-heavers, street-sweepers,
drivers, ETC., will associate and ask
for protection from the outside. When
they do, 1t is to be hoped they will not
"kick" at the measures their own i'm
%portunities have provoked.

PENNINGTON Times: 1.-The bill be-
fore the Legislature compelling foreign
insurance companies doing business in
the State to publish financial state
ments OF their condition in at least two
papers of opposite politics in each
county, is a good one and should be-
come a law. The law now requires
domestic insurance companies, as we'll
as banks, to publish such statements
for the information of the public, and
there is no reason why foreign insur-
ance companies doing business in the
State should not be required to do the
same thing.

affable to all and was an obedient boy
to his parents. No vile Talk ever came
from him and he would shun the com
pany Of bad boys. He seemed to be
unaware of the esteem in which he
was held by others. His life was that
of a Christian boy, and too much car
not be said OF this noble boy. He died
with brain trouble after lingering nine
days.
Roy Imboden was a lovely child
OF years so few;
He was his parents chief delight,
And all his schoolmates too.
He rose up early in the morn,
Enjoying life and health;
But ere ten days had passed
His eyes were closed in death.
Bereaved parents weep not for him,
Although he is dead and gone;
But still he lives in yonder world
Amid the heavenly throng.
The Golden Gates are open wide,
The angels bid him come.
Glory to God the Lamb, he cried,
For heaven is my home.
His spirit wrapped in radiant white
And psalms Of victory in his hand,
He sits beside the throne of grace
Upon the Lords right hand.
So parents, dear, console yourselves,
For he is happy now,
His spirit rests high up above
While yours still mourn below.
And when your days are ended here
And you no longer mourn,
You will meet your Roy above
In heavens high, happy dome.
