NOT ALL in BOOKS

Tangible and intangible Results Of the
Four Years Training-one's Own
Philosophy the Only Phil
osophy Worth Having.

III we could collect in one place at
the end Of the college life every Wis.
ible result of the four years work"
said serious young woman who was
recently graduated from a well-known
college. I'VE might fancy for a moment
that there was great deal more In
those books and papers than there
was left in our own minds: but, then,
as we realized afresh all the fullness
of college life We should feel that the
best, things gained were not those in
the books and papers, but somewhere
else. This last thought would be a
much better one than the first, be-
cause the only right and proper place
for everything that has been acquired
is not within the narrow limits of note
books. but present and ready in the
daily thoughts, and so influencing
them as to affect continually the actual
life.

who use to the fullest that which they
have, although this may be little, are
infinitely wiser than they who go on

many people in this world is not that
they are lacking In sufficient brains,
but that they do not know how to
