Education and Success.

At this season of the year when lots
. Of boys who graduated in June from
the High schools and academies are
celebrating whether they shall enter
college next month, there may be food
for thought for them in an analysis of
the biographies Of 10000 living Ameri-
cans most notable in all departments
Of useful and reputable endeavor, as
found in "Whos Who in America. /"
The analysis shows that "a were self

High school graduate, or more than
200 times the chance of the common
school graduate. But no figures are
required to demonstrate the ad-
vantaSes of a college education-not
necessarily from the great universities,
but from some good college able to
equip the student for the practical de-
tails of the life struggle. We have
never yet met or heard of Il college

The .Americanized Young Filipinos.

Four years ago 100 or more young
Filipinos. representing the best class
of the natives of the island. all of them
bright and intelligent young men.
| came to this country to attend various
colleges and universities. Most of
them have completed their courses
with credit and the other day 30 of
Ffhem, having received their degrees
and diplomas. departed in a body from
San Francisco to Manila. Some of
the others have already gone in
dividually but the majority Of them
will remain in this country which they
have learned To like better than their
native land. .
The 80 VINO sailed for home were in
terviewed before their departure and
their uppermOst thoughts seem to be
Of devoting their lives to the better
ment of the condition of their fellow
people in the Philippines. There is
every reason to believe that they will
pinos and it is only to be regretted
that their number is not 300 or 1000 in
stead of only 80, but even 30 American
educated yourg Filipinos are better
than none at all in the Philippines. 1t
is to be hoped that they will be leaven
for the whole lump and that many will
follow their example in coming to this
country to complete their school days
In earlier years many young men of
Japan and China did this thing and
upon their return advanced to COM
handing positions in their own coun-
tries. A goOdly number of the
Japanese statesmen and soldiers who
were among the most important figures

were educated i'll this country. Let
US hope that these young Filipinos
have acquired the American virtues
and avoided the American vices and
that they will justify the fondest OK

The Return of the Old Homers.

Names Old Home Week was Off
cially declared by the Legislature -FOUR
years ago. 1t is no longer observed
officially, and nobody talks about IT,
but the old homers are going back th'S
week more than ever before.-Bostoi
Herald.
Well, the object of Old Home week
is to bring back old homers, and II II
succeeds in this respect there Is every
justification Tor calling it an unquali-
fled success; and it is succeeding IN
this respect here in Maine. From the
first as tho Journal has frequently
pointed out, Old Home Week has not
been a success here in Maine from the
point of view of the cities which nave
tried 70 celebrate it with pomp and
parade, bunting, fireworks, banquet
and oratory, but in other respects 1t
has been a success each year and this
year is no exception.
Such a celebration as was held in the
town of Dixmont Wednesday, and such
reunions as were held in Pennington
and Monmouth on the same day, show
the Old Home Week spirit at its best,
and Maine is having many such affairs
this summer. AT Houlton, which will
celebrate the centennial of it's settle
ment, and at Jefferson, which will cele-
brate the centennial of its incorpora-
ton, there will be two Old Home
affairs next week of the kind which
make all concerned glad that they are
living. Those who thought that the
Old Home Week movement would
mean simply a series of noisy demoiI-
STATIONS with perhaps a few real
estate booms added as a side feature.
have learned their mistake. The
means something far better
than that for Maine and for it's distant
sons and daughters, something which
has a deeper and more abiding place
in their hearts and lives. The distant
ones are coming back to us in these
days by hundreds and
thousands from all over the land.
There is welcome for them all, and
Old Home celebrations which the world
hears little about but which are all
important to those concerned, are TAX
ing place in several hundred Maine
towns at the present time
