Allegorically speaking, the human
mind is like a glittering sparkle OF
lighthouse on the coast The sparkle
may guide many ships in the far dis
tant noints on the sea, vet we have
complete darkness at the foot OF the
lighthouse. In the same analogy, II
is easy to criticize others while the
darkness is around ourselves. In or
der to bring the glittering sparkle
home TO ourselves we should reflect,
comprehend and improve ourselves
according to the Instructions of the
best teachers.
Some wise men of the West have
taught us their doctrine of the middle
way as the standard of virtue. The
greatest Oriental teacher also taught
his disciples The Middle Path or
the middle course of virtuous life.
This was summed up in eight prin-
ciples or parts. and therefore called
the Noble Eightfold Path"
The first stage of the Noble Eight
fold Path is Right Comprehension.
We must at first comprehend char
acter OF all life in the world Three
woes-old age. disease and death
are for all living creatures. Once
born in the world none can pass
the barriers of these three sorrows.
One may content himself for a
while by ignoring the distress of his
fellow man or even binding himself
10 his own future. But such self
satisfaction arises from ignorance
But is ignorance not sorrow? Al
most all religions. ancient and mod
ern, or Eastern and Western, have
been founded upon the idea of sor-
row or evils of the world. Without
this idea of sorrow all religions in the
world would have lost their existence.
Next we must comprehend transit
toriness Of all life. EVERYTHING on
the earth depends upon the principle

spoken for scores of years. comes
from the same motive as taught by
the wise men of the Orient and the
Occident. OF course. social virtue
stands parallel with personal virtue,
but at present the former is much
more in view than the latter. AS
we see in various administrations Of
public organization, town, city, State
or country, every decent and patriotic
citizen is more or less sacrificing his
own profit and happiness for the bet
terment of the society where he lives
All good men and women have been
crying ont for the improvement of
society and their endeavors already
have brought social organizations to
a better condition, and | am sure
that they can lift it to the higher
plane of life, nearer, indeed, to the
ideal
There are many people respected
in society as being good self-sacriic-
ing men on account of their contribu-
tion to the social works, though these
same men have committed horrible
sins in the background. On the con-
trary, many individuals. perfect in
their personal virtue, are thrown into
darkness in society. on account of
their inability to stand forth as lead
ers in the social work. These strange
phenomena are seen everywhere in
Asia, Europe and America. If these
injustices will be tolerated without
being rectihed then cleverly masked
men, so ill-willed in their hearts. will
continue TO gain distinguished posi-
tons in that society which they must
eventually degrade They are like
counterfeit coins. Their looks NAV
deceive us for a time. but the time
will come sooner or later when their
baseness shall be exposed. Though

4. THOMAS BALLET Of
&ew York University in a
recent address defined The
new idea Of education. Its
most significant charscteris-
tc. he declared. was the in
creased love ard respect fcr children.
They are row being studied scientifi-
cslly ard sympatheticaliy from the
standpoint Of psychology and medicine
snd the sympathetic standpoint OF the
mother and teacher. The change in
the ideals Of education is also marked
Whereas the former aim Of teaching
as TO promote the acquisition Of
knowledge, the main object now is TO
acquire ability TO think the power to
use-the mind and 10 grasp new prob
leIns. The theory does NOT permit the
rating Of a students capacity by his
classroom marks or his standing upon
the day of his graduation.
In the educational uplift, which has
lately come to chicago. there is promi-
nent mentian * that important per-
sEe-the ideal teacher. It is a hope

other places large attention is being

already have effected ruin. desolation
and disgrace in sanctihed circles.
To prevent this kind of corruption
of society by wicked misleaders we
must choose men not only for their
ability but primarily for their personal
virtues
Society is an aggregate of thou
sands of individuals. and the social
will must have its foundation on the
will of each individual person. If we
desire a society perfect in virtue we
should at first improve the moral will
of each individual
A classical text of Oriental ethics
says: Pure heart renders ones mind
honest Honest mind constitutes
good personality. Good personality
forms happy home Happy home
constructs comfortable town. Com
Portable town brings about peaceful
State or country" So a man of i'm
pure heart brings misery to his hope.
A dishonest administrator will de-
stroy his social organization with him
at its head. In political affairs. if
we elect man of ill-will to a high
and representative position he may
ruin the country.
One can speak love in his lips, and
write compassion with his pen. but
we should never choose man by his
lips or pen only. Eloquence of ora
tors may conceal their faults. and
beautiful articles of a writer can
illuminate over the darkness of
his heart Eloquent speech is moth
ing unless it comes from out of the
sincere heart A thousand pages of
flowery articles are as nothing if the
writer lacks purity of motive. We
should choose men of patriotism. men
OF pure will and good personality
for administrators and lawmakers
men who will promote the spiritual
happiness of society and mankind

the highest moral ideal in his per-
son. Such man IS naturally Jealous
of his personal virtue, and will fulfill
his sacred duty to society. and his
moral influence will affect his family
and fellowmen, so that by his good
deeds he may enjoy the blessing of
perfect peace with many other people.
conclude this article with the
beautiful words of the late Sir Edwin
Arnold:
Unseen it helpeth ye with faithful hands.
Unheard it speaketh stronger than the
storm.
Pity and Love are mans because long

Such is the Law which moves 10 right
