Statistics of Value Furnished by the
Bureau of Education.
The United States bureau of educa.
ton estimates that of the 14,794, 400
men over 80 years of age in this
country 1,757023 are without educa-
ton, 12054, 1886 have had only COM
mon school education or its equiva-
lent, 657,432 have received high
school training in addition and 1926. 613
have had college training.
The brief biographies of over 10 900
men commonly considered successful
collected by Who's Who" afford an OBJ
portunity for comparison. or the men
mentioned in Who's Who" not one
enrolled himself in the first class-the
1,15IO23 without education. From the
second class came 1868, or one for
every SSH, and of these twenty-four
reported themselves as self.taught. 27S
as privately taught. From class three
came 1927, or one for every 4O4. and
from class four, 1903, one for every
forty-two.
The conclusions drawn by the com
pliers OF the statistics are that the
boy of no education has hardly a
chance of honorable distinction; that
the lad with common school educa-
ton has one chance in 5000, the high
school course increases the lads
chances twenty-five times aud a col
lege education gives the young man
ten times the chance of high school
boy and 200 times the chance of boy
whose training stops with the com
mon schools. The college graduate is
pre-eminently successful and the self
educated man inconspicuous.

OF Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, July 18-Special-
Charles Y. Peterson, Justice of the
Peace for Oconto Co, has delivered
a Judgment that is of interest to the
whole United States. Put briefly, that
judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the best Kidney medicine on the mar
ket today"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He, says: Last
winter had an aching pain In my
back which troubled me very much.

was but an advertisement led me to

The Lesson of the Birds.

sometimes think, when sorrow makes
Teller sorter moan,
OF the birds that keep a-singin' just like
trouble was unknown
make no doubt they have their grief
as bitter as the restl
That Mockingbird there, in the blooms, is
making holiday,
Yet vandal hands have wrecked its home
have stolen its young away!
That little lodge OF straw is mute, where
chirped its tender brood,
Yet how 1t sends its song to God-and
life a solitudel
But just let trouble come along, and
human hearts they sigh,
And send their wailng messages a-ring-
ing to the sky!
The world is then no friend to grace-a
shadow dims the light.
The stars shine through "A storm of tears,
and phantoms fill the night
For all our souls. heaven gifted-for all
our human words,
We read life's sweetest lesson In the mu-
sic O. the birdsl
And the kind God teach that lesson, when
skies above us frown,
To leave the moaning to the winds and
sing the sorrow down.
