SEC'T'Y WILSON'S LONG
SERVICE.
LONG

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has started swimmingly on his third
term, and if he completes it he will
have served longer in the cabinet
than any other man, with one single
exception. Mr.. Wilson was appoint
ed by Mckinley when the latter
first became President, and he will
round out service of twelve years
if he stays in the cabinet. until the
end of Mr.. Roosevelt's present term,
as he undoubtedly will. He is both
farmer and politician, and that
combination is not found in every
locality.
The one man in our history who
served more that twelve years was
Albert Gallatin, who was appointed
by Jefferson, Secretary of the Treas
ury on May IA, 1901. He served un
der jefferson and Madison until Feb
ruary 8, 1914, period of tweIv'
years and nine months. If Mr.
Wilson be desirous of exceeding. Mr.
Gallatin's record he will have to sc
cure retention under the next Presi
dent, and that will be difficalt to do
for the next President is TO be
democrat.
| The next man in point of serviC
was William H. Crawford, of Georgia
who served under Madison and Mon
roe eight years aud four months
James Madison served as Secretar
of State eight years, as did Gideo
Welles as Secretary of the, Navy
Henry Dearborn, who was sJeffel
sons Secretary of State, Lacked but
month of serving eight years.

THE TRUTH IN EDUCATION.

In his interesting and instructive
address on ''The Problems of a
Modern University" DR.. j. II. Penni-
man, dean of the academic depart
ment of the University OF Pennsyl-
vania, declared that the supreme aim
of a great university was s'absolute
fidelity to truth for truths sake
apart from personal opinion Or per-
sonal gain" Certainly there could
be no higher pui pose in the training
of the youth Tor the battle Of life;
for, as tn~ oaker said, one of the
purposes of an Institution OF learning
IS first to conserve knowledge; sec-
UnGly, to disseminate knowledge,
and thirdly, to imI art knowledge.
But none Of these three functions can
oe successfully performed without
fidelity to truth unbiased by indivi-
dual preferences or Individual feel
Ings. This devotion to truth goes
uand in hand with devotion to duty
which itself finds application in three
important objects in the acquisition
If knowledge, and these are, as DR..
Penulman stated, to Interpret the
tell the tuLure. All vi these are use
less if not honestly done. In a word,
it may be SAID that the great purpose
If the teach should be to find out
tne truth and tell it truthfully to the
pupil.
Some years ago well-known
teacher IN one of the leading the
illogical seminaries in this country
published the results of some of his
historical researches, and created
WIdesp1ead dissatisfaction among
mem oers of the denomination by
which the Institution was establish
ed and governed. A good many
mem oer5 of the denomination held
that the publication of these views did
not and could not have a wholesome
effect upon the church, and insisted
upon the teachers resignation. He
himself held that his duty was to
find out the truth to the best of his
ability and inparl tnat truth to the
students. He Was right. Had he neg
lected to do this he would have failed
to performe his duties. 1t is often the
case that the truth is unpleasant.
Sometimes 1T even hurts. Still, he
who fails 10 inpart Il truth because
it may be di-advantageous to the
financial, social or other interests OF
the institution of learning in which
he is an instruction doc not perIcrL
the functions of his position.
The object of education is not to
find out or impart what may be
pleasant or interesting or in line with
individual opinions or preferences.
That kind of an education is practi-
cally worthless. One OF the great
aims of education is to encourage
good morals, and this connot be done
if truth does not enter into the work.
AS DR.. Penniman said, the Univer-
sity man should have ideals and
should strive to keep faith with his
ideals. He cannot do this without
strict adherence to the truth as he
finds it.

WORKING HUMAN NATURE.

A story which is going the rounds
of the northern press demonstrates
that if you know how to work human
nature properly it is more profitable
than a gold mine. An electric rail
way company doing business in a
northern city recently put this know
ledge of human nature to work in a
most noYel way.
The company had a park, the soil
of Whi h it wanted TO plOW up and
pull g. roughly at small cost,
at the same Time attracting some
traffic to the park. 1t therefore buried
5000 in gold coin in various parts OF
the park and threw the place open
to any patron of the street cars that
wished to dig, prescribing only that
none but small hand Implements
should be used.
The plan worked admirably. The
cars were thrOnged with amateur
miners, and by the time all the coin
was found the entire surface OF the
park had been loosened up and re
duced to powder TO an extent that nt
landscape gardener ever saw equaled.
The street car company got It's 500
back in fares and at the same Tune
got Its park throughly pIoWed tol
nothing.
Many/wilI tenderly recall the OLD
schoolre9ders story ofthe dying father
VINO called Ills SUNS to his Dedo de
and informed them that though The
old farm he Was about TO leave them
was worn Out aud mad become I'M
productive, there was buried some-
where upon it a great treasure and
ii they would persis emily dig for it
they would suriy fad rich reward.
The. sons dIgged, turning the old
farm upSI .e uoWn and inside cut,
and though they found no signs of
the gold they expected their har-
vests of grksr hecane enormous and
their reward was richer than they
knew.
Through some popularity in our
construction We are willing to work
ten times as hard to ''get something
Tor nothing" as to earn it in ordinary
ways.
A scoundrel would exercise more
cunning and energy in beating some
body out of dollar than woud be
called for in acquiring SO honestly.
And he thinks he has got the dol
lar for nothing! Poor fool!
The gambler shoves all his surplus
earnings over the table and what he
WINS now and then he shoves after
them. Whenever he has anything to
lose he counts himself ahead of the
game. HIS hope, his patience, his
insensibTiity TO failure,,> if enlisted in
worthy occupation, might bring
him substantial success.
1t is a very decided weakness in
human nature through which all OF
Us are inclined to regard as clear gain
only that which comes unearned.
And in striving to get more than
we earn we perform unrewarded
labors which, if rightly applied,
would bring us far more than we get.
1t is easy for a shreWd man to
make tool of human nature, but
none of US are wise enough to fool
old nature herself into giving up
more than is worked for.
If the efforts that are made to gel
something for nothing were all turn.
ed to useful, productive pursuits,
this world would be overfoWine
with plenty, and poverty would
| fade into mere tradition.
