surplus of book-learning that mo-
nopolizes the intellect to the ex-
clusion Of the application to
things practical. But that is not
education. The power of origi-
mating action constitutes man,
and when that power is increased
| by course of intellectual train
ing it is education. If the gradu-
ate does not make himself felt in
one Of the various avenues of life
as being capable of originating &C
ton that will mean a factor in
progress, he has not been edu-
Gated, and his time has been vast
ed.
While the world will jest at the
graduate on the commencement
platform, dealing with the momen-
tous problems of the day as
though they were everyday af
fairs, and fail to take him seri-
ously, there is a side of the grad
uate that the world does take SER
iously. 1t is his enthusiasm and
optimism. These two factors
which are characteristic of the
graduate, are i'm themselves worth
: all the time and energy spent in
securing training, providing
they are directed in the proper
channels in dealing with men and
affairs. The adjustment Of the
idealistic views, in which the col
lege man lived during his period
of training, to the realistic
: things of life is often fraught
with danger, and the most disas-
trous result that may come to him
is the fall into a hopeless pessi-
mism.
The marksman who fires at. long
range must. aim high if he would
hit the target, and it is only by
chance that a man makes great
er success of life than he has
planned. The failures in this life
are, for the most part, the men
who have lost their enthusiasm
and who yielded to the first re-

eve he would not be ready to do
his little part when the time came,
and so contribute the unit in the
multitude of which great reforms
findt heir making. If he did not
feel himself ready to do wondrous
things single-handed, he would
hesitate to undertake the mean
est task after the scales had fallen
and he had come to realize how es-
sentially unimportant he was. II
he did sweep the horizon he would
falter when he came to see how
rough the road was at his very
feet. The graduate has much to
learn and it is a merciful provl-
dence that leads him to his first

is said that there is a hitch between

Van SAINT has failed SO far to promise
