the result that repetitions have been

Importance is the printing of the book
ON India paper. which will make each
volume only one-third as thick and less
than one-third as heavy as an ordinary
volume containing precisely the same

Sometimes the instruction and train

DOES COLLEGE EDUCATION PAY?

This is a much mooted question
upon which public opinion is divided.
In the undeveloped West and South
west the majority is on the negative
side. At meeting of the Parents and
Teachers Club in Fort Worth last Fri
day it was discussed in connection
with the question, How to Keep the
Boys in School. In the Star-Telegram'
report of the meeting we read

The disputants at Fort Worth seem

If this be conceded it will be hard to
convince young men that those with
college educations make good oftener
