IDEAS About Education.
The value OF an education is in dir
ect proportion as 1t can be made to
better the daily life OF its possessor.
oSo
The best education has the least
frills.

Some men are educated In a coll
lege; some are educated in a cornfiell
me man of real education doesn't look
back to see which place the other fell
low came from. He looks forward, and
asks Can you make good?"
Education is to a man what grease is
to wagon; 1t makes him run easier.

Real education makes man hI1nnlhle
that he knows so little. and proud that
ne has been given the opportunity to
know so much.
A wise man will choose that line of
education for his boy which will make
OF him the most useful common citizen.
After all, it is the point of view. the
acquaintance, the feeling one gets of
being part of a great brotherhood of
workers, that is the most valuable
thing acquired in the schools.

Education doesn't spell people. as
some folks imagine. Once in while
it does uncover the fact that a toler-
able-seeming boy was born without
any backbone. but you mustn't blame
the education, any more than vo,,
would blame varnish for not putting a
finish on cotton pins.

Hon. 0. c. Gregg, for twenty three
years superintendent OF institutes in
Minnesota, has been engaged as lee
turer in North Dakota Institutes for
the coming winter. Mr. Gregg was
among the earliest pioneers in insti-
tute work. He probably did more to

other living man. He is a farmer. He
