knowledge is essential to the useful
working of the brain mills, in fact
part of it's necessary machinery. And
while it is true that facts are the most
ubiquitous of things and may be picked
up almost. anywhere, they vary SO enor-
mously in practical value that 1t Is aD-
surd to lump them all together in one
class. Experience has shown that 1t IS
desirable to impart certain OF these
facts to the boy before he begins his
real work in the world. And 1t Is Just
as easy to train his mind to grind well
with these as with any other facts A
well equipped human mind must have

Mr.. Shaw also took a shy at another
but closely related phase of the uni
versity problem. I'VE are" he declared,
making collegiate education too prac-
teal" The trade training school
idea is more and more invading the I'M
iversity. The idea of liberal education
is being displaced by the demand for
special training calculated to fit a man
a very important place, for the trade
school, the institution avowedly devot-
ed to training a man for a particular
pursuit. But the certificate of attend
ance at such an establishment should
not be confused with the college or uni
versity degree. There is surely no dan
ger in these days that material success
will lose it's popularity. But there does
seem to be some danger that the ethical
and social value Of that more general
knowledge ordinarily described as Gull
ture will be overlooked.

There used to be an old-fashioned
rule never to gossip in the presence

TT LOOKS FAVORABLE.

The supply of money continues to
grow. Receipts and shipments of cur
rency in the larger money markets in
the land during the month of Febru-
airy show a continued excess of re-
ceipts. Take Chicago for instance.
The excess for the months of Janu-
airy and February among the banks
of that city was 100000, which is
more than 100000 greater than
the excess for the corresponding
months of last year. So it is all over
the country in similar proportions.
This money, 1t is certain, will find en-
p1oyment.
At the same time a number of rail-
way and other enterprises have de-
clared the regular quarterly dividends
ranging from one to two per cent.
Statements of roads generally show
heavy gross earnings though in sew
eral instances the heavier operating
expenses have cut down the profits.
The announcement of large purchases
of steel rails by some of the big
western lines is taken as encouraging
for more employment and a renewal
of work by a good many hands laid
off during the financial panic and the
succeeding depression.
The opening of mills has become

well as in the textile manufacturing
districts Of New England has been

of the closing down Of such establish
ments but the story is of resumption
and unemployment of operatives. The
number of wage earners who have
been put to work during the past few
weeks would include a total of many
thousands. The products turned out
under the renewed operations go to
supply a demand throughout the
country and SO they. indicate a re-
newaI of business in many lines and
in many directions.
The general tone in the business
world is hopeful and the sentiment
abounds that something better is
The east and the south are

A PROHIBITION NEED.

It is not strange that Senator Bacon
of Georgia should have taken up the
cudgels against the whisky people and
prepared a bill calculated to put a stop
to the shipping of intoxicants into pro-
hibition territory. An extract from re-
cent Atlanta correspondence to the
much light upon the situation In his
own state. It follows:
Here are some facts which show
that during the first month prohibition
has been tried in Georgia it has not
been the failure that the liquor in
terests predicted.
THE police court of Atlanta had be-
fore it in January, 1907, 1853 prisoners,
BAL of them charged with drunkenness.
January of 1908 the first month of pro-
hibition, saw 1853 prisoners. of whom ga
were charged with intoxication. This
is a decrease of S95 arrests under the
new regime and of 277 arrests for in
toxication, or more than 80 per cent
less. On one morning Judge Broyles,
the presiding magistrate. found not a
case for his adjudication, and the rec
ord of years was broken.

Decatur street drinking places before
the new order of things are now con-
spicuous by their absence. and that
thoroughfare at night is as quiet as a
graveyard after dark. The effect Of
prohibition is noted at the retail shops,
which cater for the needs Of the ne
groes. These places report better bust
ness, prompter payment and larger
sales.
"One thing that has been brought out
clearly is the need of a national law
prohibiting express companies from
carrying rum into prohibition states
and communities. When prohibition
came a number of wholesale liquor
dealers moved headquarters to Chat
tanooga. across the Tennessee state
line. These dealers are sending back
word to their friends here that they
never have done so much business as
now One express company has in
creased it's force in Atlanta and has
hired vacant store. formerly a saloon,
where it stores goods until delivered"

THE UNIVERSITY TRADE SCHOOL

Leslie NJ. Shaw, former secretary of
the treasury. told the alumni of the
University of Vermont at their recent
annual dinner that the great trouble
with American colleges was that they
tended to load a man up with facts
rather than to teach him how to use
facts. The important thing in educa-
ton was, he said. the training of a man
to use his mind intelligently, and hence
effectively-to make him into an eff
cient grist mill for facts instead of
stuffed granary of them. Knowing a
given number of facts" he said, is not
education. We can buy a book for a
dime that contains more facts than any
man living or dead ever knew"
Mr.. Shaw's complaint is an old one
and doubtless contains a sound criti
cism of some educational institutions
But the modern tendency in university
education Is distinctly away from the
granary idea, and it is contended by
not a few thoughtful observers that the
reaction is in danger of going too far.

How does little baby sleep?
Like velvet rose
men the shadows round it creep
And its petals close.
How does little baby rise?
Like a silver beam
Walking through the morning skies
On the feet Of dream.
How does little baby smile7
Like flower whose fold
Opens to the warm beguile

How does little baby speak?
Like a tinkling bell
Where the feet of fairy seek
For the moonbeam spell.
How does little baby sing?
Like crystal rill
Chattering through the gates of sprfns
To the listening hill
How does little baby dance?
Like a golden ray
Where the beams of morning .Iance
Smile and drift away
HOW does little baby grow?
Like a velvet bloom
In the little garden row
Where the heart makes room.
