Mr.. Oliver Hayward and daughter,
Miss Beatrice, both of Bond. walked
from that point to Oakland yesterday,
arriving here about 1870 in the after
noon, accomplishing a feat Of pedeslri-
anism seldom equalled in this part Of
the country. Mr.. and Miss Hayward
left Bond about eight O'Clock, walked
to Swanton along the railroad track and
from there came to Oakland by the
county road The entire distance Gov
cred was in the neIghborhood Of twenty
three miles and upon their arrival at
their destination they were apparently
less tired than many who take a stroll
Of a.mile or two.

The knowledge that enables man to
build barn, build bridge, grow a
crop of potatoes, operate -four mill or
extract mineral from the earth is no
less education than that which qualities
him to be a supreme judge, a college
president or an astronomer. The better
trained a man is to do his work
thoroughly, whatever it may be, the
better educated he is. That nameless
something which causes many to think
one uneducated who is not familiar
with the technical verbage of school
books is one Of the worst enemies to
right thinking and human progress that
we have had to contend with in long
time. 1t is closely related to that other
thing which causes so many to think
that because they have had a few
months schooling manual labor would
lower their dignity. The truth is
neither of these qualities is to be found
| in the truly well educated indiYidnal.
