The Burden of Overeducati0n

Discussing the problem of over

Margaret f. Sangster in the WOM-

asks and answers the question: What
Is Education, After All?'
SIS it not ascertaining how to make
the best of ones powers. how to ar
range ones stores, how to exert a
sweet. quiet and fragrant influence
throughout life. over all whom one
meets! If an advanced education
does this for one. then it is the edu-
cation one should seek. Our difficulty
is that we cannot allow time enough
for seed-time and harvest. Mothers
are in despair if daughters OCCASION
ally drop out of school for six months
or year. We are much too apt to in
sist Oh putting all our children, ire
spective of their natural bent. through
the same educational factory. We do
not make sufficient allowance for tenn

comes to pass that some of us carry
burdens beneath the weight of which
we are crushed. -

great German Jewish poet, Heinrich
Heine, who somehow always reminds
me of viOlets. TO me every poet has
Il different tiOwer-perfume. and as |
write to you about them here, some of
you may smell them, too, if you read
the poets later on and remember
what l say. Tennyson smells to me

cloak in it, with the big star on his
breast and the little cOckaded hat.

class. That was the class in which
l nearly got the best conduct medal

Napoleon was really kind to our
peOplc.. and naturally Ueine loved
him for that reason. One of Heine's
earliest boyhood friends was French
drummer called Monsieur le Grand,
who must have been perfect Jack

he was Il small parsonage with IA huge

Heinrich Heine was not born IN

was an exceedingly interesting kind

Had left the world to itself.
And how so dear was the coffee.
And how rare was the pelf.

news has been received from those
who know that they expect to better
their passenger service in this city
The third Des Moines and Ottumwa
trains, which were taken off last year
when Nos. 40 and so were abandoned
are to be restored. commencing mex
Monday. This report is almost official
having come from the dispatcher's
Office in Des Moines yesterday. While
no time card has been received at the
local station the trains will probably
run on their old time card the Des
Moines train reaching the city at one
o'clock and the Ottumwa train at two
thirty in the afternoon.
1t is further reported that the Des
Moines and Ottumwa trains will make
connections with train No. so east
bound in the morning and that the
east train will make connections with
the Des Moines and Ottumwa trains in
the evening. This will necessitate
many changes in the time card. and
will bring three trains into the OsKa
