The One Object OF Education.

At one time when Elihu Root, our
present secretary of state. was prac-
tising law in New York City, he was
engaged in a case that involved the
question of aniline dyes. The sub
iect is one of the most difficult in
the entire realm of chemical science
and Mr.. Root knew nothing about
it whatever. But that made no diff
ference. For two weeks, day and
night as it were, he studed that
subject until he had mastered it and
he then when into the court room,
cross-questioned the experts and won
his case. How could he do it?
Simply because he had trained, dis
ciplined mind that was able to mas
ter any subject however difficult and
abstruse
1t is the object of an education to
enable boys and girls to do this very
thing. What is learned in the class
room is only fragment, beginning
They are expected to be able to go
on and study by themselves and for
themselves. In the realm of litera-
ture the works studied are not sup
posed to give the scholar an accur-
ate knowledge of literature. They
are merely to cultivate the power of
discrimination and the taste for the
best 1t is of trlfling Importance
whether scholar knows q concrete
poem such as Gray's "Elegy," 1t is
of supreme Importance whether
scholar knows the good from the bad
and has learned to love the good.
From this illustration we see the
true object of education. 1t is the
development of an individuality. 1t
is not TO teach n child all that the
child will need to know, it is simply
TO prepare the child for self develop
ment and individual initiative What
the school can teach is only trifle, |
but if the child has learned how 10
study, how to think. and how to
discriminate the education has been |
a successful one. Unfortunately in |
this very respect the system often |
breaks down. - Baptist Common

The Small Farm.

Can Small Farmer Live?" is
the title of an article by professor.
Of course. it depends on the farmer.
Probably the most successful farmer
in the world lives near Paris, and he
has small tract of land, but every
acre produces more than is usually
raised on a great farm. The fact
is that the production of soil is quite
unlimited. Labor and brains and
science used in tilling a piece of
ground will make the yield beyond
apparent possibilities, as we now
look at it. The ground yields
beggarly pittance to what could be
raised from it. A small farm is a
fortune If the very best is made
of the ground. Wheat makes men
rich because they have boundless
acres to devote to it. That fact does
not warrant the claim that only great
farms pay. Small farms will make
them rich too, if they get from the
ground what it can yield. But it is
not so much the selection of crops
as the getting out of the soil the re-
sources that are in it. We heard a
man say one time he put $40 worth
of fertilizer in an acre of ground
and got $1,000 worth of production
from 1t. 1t is the two things that
will make the small farm the gold
mine and the Eden of the future
the selection of the right product,
and then making the soil do its best.

The Ape of Lead.

We are wont TO speak of this era
as the "age OF IRON and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speak
ing, iron is a precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, If not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, it is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead fIand-set type, linotype
"slugs," monotype type - all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty - inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay
How many of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts Of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
talic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead" Of
course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are Gust as good" as
white Iced. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
Red lead Is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral. ETC., which are es-
sential d many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
es well as Of iron.

At each end of the goal-line station
an umpire. Let each player hold his

so that the wind will catch the paper
and make it tug and pull on the line,

loaded revolvers, were chasing the
