TRUE EDUCATION.

mo education is worth anything
unless it teaches thoroughness,
genuineness, intellectual sincerity.
To know the difference between a
fact and fancy, an illusion and a
reality, superstitution aud a va
riety, a half-lie and a whole truth,
is the first object of study. And
the learning of this lesson depends
less upon the subjects that are
taught than upon the way in which
they are studied. You may learn
it from language, which teaches
you to observe the real meaning of
words. You may learn it from
mathematics, which teaches You
that figures never lie, though liars
often use them. You may learn it
from history, which tells you what
has really helped the human race
in its upward struggle. You may
learn it from science, which re.
veals the laws of nature and the
structure of this world in which
we live. HENRY VAN DYKE.

The man who makes money in
community has a duty to per-
form to that community. 1t may
be that he has made his money by
his superior business ability, and
that he would have done as we'll
anywhere. That does not altar the
case. If his gifts are great bis re-
sponsibiIity is equally as great.
No man was placed on earth for
the sole purpose of making money,
and the man who has this as bis
ideal had better never have been
born. 1t is not an act of charity,
but the performance of a simple
duty for the man who has made
money to pass a little of it on for
the benefit of the community even
though he never expects to SEQ a
dollar of his contribution back.

Local nimrods report the canvas

this time it is not out of order to
remind hunters of their duty to-
ward the farmer whose courtesy
gives them the privilege of en-

game. The reason that SO many
ranchmen have withdrawn their
license to hunters is because of
their abuse of it in the destruction
of property and carelessness in
letting down the bars whereby
stock is allowed to roam. No
criticism is due the farmer who
has posted notices forbidding tres

made ready for occupancy in a

the poor class of people profit by
it.
