The Life of the Mind.

The object of liberal training Is
not learning, but discipline and the
enlightenment of the mind The edu
Gated man is to be discovered by his
point of view, by the temper of his
mind, by his attitude toward life and
his fair way of thinking, He can see,
he can discriminate, he can combine
ideas and discover where they lead
he has insight and comprehension.
What we should seek to i'm.
part in our colleges. therefore, is not
so much learning as the spirit of learn.
ing. 1t consists in the pow.
er to distinguish good reasoning from
bad, in the power to digest and inter
pref evidence, in habit of catholic
observation and a preference for the
nonpartisan point of view, in an ad
diction to clean and logical processes
of thought, and yet an instructive de
sire to interpret rather than stick Ia
the letter of the reasoning, in a taste
for knowledge and a deep respect for
the integrity of the human mind. II

New Haven, Conn.-Tales of almost
incredible escapes from death are
told by DR.. Il. f. Horr, Yale, 81, who
has just returned after two years ex-
ploration in the jungles of the ANA
zon. He was a member of the Har-
ward Peabody expedition, recruited
under DR.. w. C. Farabee of Cam
bridge.
Among the hairbreadth escapes of
DR.. Horr are a thrilling rescue from
drowning, a runaway mule adventure
and critical attack of jungle fever.
The members of the party were
stranded In Arizona pass, $500 feet
above the sea, and compelled to en-
dure the night there, and again they
were held up in the Maturiato River
country for three weeks without sup
plies.
There they were compelled to sub
sist upon monkeys and other animals
which they shot, and during this time
Dr. Horr was taken seriously i'll with
tropical fever.
While returning on mule after his
Illness, his mule suddenly bolted and
plunged into the jungle. To rest his
feet, DR.. Horr had tied a cord around
the mule and made rope stirrups. AS
the mule plunged into the forest DIR.
Horn was swept off his back by the
thick-clustered hanging vines. He
swung one foot over the mules back,
but the other caught in the rope stir.
rup, and as the animal dashed
through the jungle, the doctor was
banged and thrown from side to side
against tree stumps and rocks.
Retaining his presence of mind he
managed to grasp at the stirrup and
free his leg in the nick of time, but
he dropped to the ground unconscious
and covered with bruises, and cut
from head to foot.
DR.. Farrabee and some of the In
dian guides soon found him and car
