Address by Mr.. Miller.
Mr. Miller, in his address, spoke on
what education means at the present
time, as compared to it's meaning in
the past He said that the present
education should be practical-not in
the sense of returning dollar for dol
lar expended in securing it, but an
education which lays the foundation
for the development of the mind,
| L ot1 hot n
man, OF be educated, must not neces-
sarily have graduated from high in
stitution of Tearing, after following up
all the courses offered in preparatory
schools and universities. A man who
takes advantage of his opportunities
is receiving an education, and 1T will
not be long before his store of knowl-
edge is equal in a practical way, to
that of the man who has spent years
and much money in the pursuit of
special branch of learning, or of one
who has drifted through school with
out caring to work or acquire knowl-
edge.
Mr.. Miller said, THE man who has
been forced, through stress of cir
cumstances, to go to work after he
received a general sprinkling of
learning at the public schools, is the
man who can attain fully as much, and
frequently more, than the one with the
university degree. Not only does the
learning acquired from books count
in the education of a man, but it is
also his moral tone. Does the man
With low moral tone occupy for long
a position where he is intrusted with
great secrets of business? No, be-
cause the stenographer or clerk must
be honest, and this virtue is one
which can be acquired from actual ex-
perience as we'll as at the best seat of
learning" -
