Illustrations OF the fact that mere
technical education alone has never
secured the first rank in the life of
the community
The epic tales of Homer, the divine
comedy of Dante, the logic of Aris-
totle, the human drama of Shakes
peare, all teach the lesson of human
life, in the knowledge of which is to
be found power to comprehend and
help and guide and lead men, which
IS the supremest accomplishment OF
man. The temple of Diana at Ephe-
sus has crumbled away but the TRACE
dies of Aeschylos ana the comedies of
Euripides remain. The Roman Forum
is an interesting collection of ruins,
but the odes and satires Of Horace,
the letters Of Pliny and the lives of
Plutarch make the great men OF
Rome as real to us as those of yes
terday i'll France and England. From
them, from their experience, their
ideas. their failures and their accom-
plshments. many an inventive mind
has caught inspiration and has had
imagination stimulated to the solu-
ion of great problems in art, in archi-
lecture, and in science. The man who
goes out into the world without the
knowledge of these humanities is
therefore lacking in a mental equip
ment which leaves him subject to a
serious handicap. General cultiva-
tion today is so widespread that the
man who enters upon his life work
with mere technical training. when
he comes in competition with men OF
broad culture, is at a decided disad-
vantage.
"A combination of the ideals of
purely technical study with broad uni
versity culture, offers to students the
opportunity Of becoming not merely
engineers, but educated gentlemen. |
have thus far dwelt only upon the
practical advantage of this broader
than merely technical education. But
the refining influence and the intel
lectual pleasures opened by such
study should not be lost sight of
James Russell Lowell once ex-
claimed out of the fullness of his
scholarly mind:
Neither would l have you neglect
the humanities l would wish that
every one of you could enjoy in the
originals, Homer and Virgil and Dante
and Rabelais and Goethe
I'm an essay written shortly before
his death he revised this list some
what, and characterized Homer,
Dante, Shakespeare, Cervantes and
Goethe as the five indispensable
authors Certainly if the work OF
any one of them were eliminated from
our literature and speech there would
be ragged spaces in the fabric.
rs It not then well worth the time |
and effort of an engineer or a chemist, |
as We'll as of a lawyer or doctor, to |
study and know the works of these |,
great~-those Indispensable, authors |
From them each of us may catch |
of their knowledge, their |
insight, their inspiration; and with |
luickened imagination and sharpened |
perceptions may more clearly see the |
OF problems wTsch have baf- !
fled us. AS the prophet Of Israel long !
ago declared
Wisdom is the principal thing: |
therefore get wisdom. and with all thy |
getting get understanding. Take fast

first inning, it began to look like
the Tigers were. doomed to be
trimmed to the skin, but that first
inning was simply warmup for

no further lookin and took the

There are two yachting rules in
existence. One is the Universal,
used in this country. The other Is
the International, which prevails in
Europe.
The Universal rating, as it Is
called. was odtped to prevent just
such freaks as Reliance and Sham
rock III from racing. 1t calls for a
wholesome, seaworthy craft. Two
years ago Upton challenged under
this rule with yacht IS feet on
the waterline. His challenge was
refused and he was told unof-
ficially that. a challenge with a 80
footer would be accepted.
Now Upton wants to challenge

Universal rules, but has been In

f. and Bridgeton Lodge, No. 1879,

TROUBLE In COMMISSION.

Trenton, June 22. 2.-Governor Fort, is
turning over a knotty problem as a
result of his recent appointment of
William Shillingsburg, of Camden, as
a member of the State Oyster Commits.
sion, to succeed Ogden Candy, of
cape May.county. Shillingsburg, who
is one OF the heaviest shippers of oys.
ters in the State. his vessels all run
ming out of Greenwich, where his
shipping station is located, was backed
by Senator Bradley, of Camden, and
the appointment gave Senator Hand of
Cape May, chill. because he was ex-
pecting the plum to fall his way
again: Shillingsburg was given his
commission and took the oath pre-
scribed by law, but when he under
took to sit with the other three mem
bers Of the Commission at their last
meeting he was told that it would not
be proper for him to sign leases of
oyster land because he could not
qualify under the law for membership
in the body.
The law of 1899, under which the
Commisson was created, specifically
declares that members must be
actively engaged in the. taking,
planting --and shipping of oysters in
Delaware Bay sand Maurice River
Cove. " The point raised against
shillingsburg--is that all his lands lie
in the State of Delaware and that he
only ships out of New Jersey. To
this Shillingsburg replies that he owns
oyster lands in Maurice River Cove
and does not propose to be ousted
from the Commission. He called upon
the Governor to-day and later an
nounced that he would meet with the
commission at Maurice River to.mor-
row, and if they still object to his
signing the leases for the coming year
they would have to wait till he return
ed from two months trip to the
Pacific coast. Governor Fort said the
matter was up to Shillingsburg; if
&c could not qualify as member of
tae Commission he could not become a
member, that was all. There the
mater rests while the lawyers figure
on It.
