CLASSICAL LEARNING.

The argument In favor OF classical
education in America is well stated by
John J. Chapman in the Atlantic
Monthly.
He holds that there are, in the mod
ern world. two influences which are
hostile TO education-the influence Of
business and the influence OF science
In Europe these Influences are qualified
by the vigor OF the old learning. In
America they dominate remorselessly
and make the path OF education doubly
hard. Consider how they meet us in
ordinary social life He says: we
have all heard men bemoan the time
they have spent over Latin and Greek
on the ground that these studies did
not M Thorn for business--as II a thing
must b. worthless II II can be neither
eaten nor drunk II is hard 20 ex-
plain the value Of education to men
who have forgotten the meaning cf
education: its symbols convey nothing
10 them"
Mr.. Chapman's idea OF education is
that 1t simply gives to man the power
OF expression. and that the ability to
express himself has kept many a man
poor Thus:
Let no one imagine that society Is
likely to reward him for self-expres
sion IN any walk OF life. He is much
more likely to be punished for IT, The
question OF mans success in life
depends upon society at large The
more highly an age Is educated the
more highly II rewards education In
the individual. In an age Of indif-
ference to learning, the educated man
is at a disadvantage Thus the thesis
mat education advances self-interes;--
that thesis upon which many of our
colleges are now being conducted-is
substantially false The little scraps
nd snatches OF true education which
man EcS gets at college often en-
harrass his career. our people are find
ing this out year by year. and as they
d -, they naturally throw the wh,la

STUDYING AVIATION.

Very naturally. the recent disasters
20 ayiators have caused a great deal Of
reelection and earnest search for "a rem
edy for the defects 10 which the loss of
life and costly apparatus was due It
has been found that one class of craft
offers no greater safety than the other.
Gales play havoc with the best con-
structed balloons. and sudden transition
from cold to hot strata Is apt as in
the case Of the Inflated Erbsloeth craft

straining envelope. with regard TO

Z the insufficient subdivision Of the mo-
tive power. This power was divided
between three motors. Apparently one
Of these gave out. leaving 10 the others
the formidable task Of holding the ship
head to the wind and under steerage
. control, task to which they proved
unequal Had the power he says been
distributed among i've or six engines,
the Deutschland would have had a
fair chance TO ride out the summer
gale
The same writer suggests that avia-
ton in balloons will not be rendered
reasonably safe until there be erected
along the routes places Of anchorage
where the aviator can stop and ride out
a gale. His idea Is that steel towers be
built at fairly frequent intervals, pro
vided at the top with a large ring or
other suitable device, to which Crap
ping hooks. flung from the nose of
the dirlgible. could be made fast-the
mansuver corresponding 10 that OF a
yacht when she picks up her moorings

moorlngs been available, the Deutsch-

most Of her motive power In operation,
would have had sufficient Storage way
to AFFORD her a reasonable chance OF
bringing her bow. as she drifted past

These are good suggestions And
then, we are inclined to the belief that
the principle Of the balloon and the
aeroplane will finally be combined in
the successful airship. The heavier

cells. or compartments. filled with gas,
TO make them buoyant. They could he
provided with devices for lifting as
well as FOR propulsion forward, In imi-
tation Of the birds wing that lifts him
upward as well as propells him in the
direction he wants to go. With gas
cells to neutralize the weight, and two
sets of propellers. the aeroplane would
b. a close imitation OF the bird.

DON'T BE BALD.
Almost Any One May Secure a
Splendid Growth of Hair.

You can easily find out for
yourself if your hair needs nour-
ishment, if it is thinning, getting
dry, harsh and brittle, or split
ting at the ends. You simply
have to pull a hair from the top
of your head and closely exam
inc it's root. If the bulb is plump
and rosy it is all right; if it is
white and shrunken your hair is
diseased and needs nourishment.
We have a remedy for hair
troubles that cannot be suppass-
ed. It has a record of growing
hair and curing badness in SO
out of 100 cases where used &C.
cording to directions for a reas-
enable length of time. It will
even grow hair on bald heads if
the scalp is not glazed and shiny.
That may seem like strong
sta tement-it is, and we mean it
to be, and no one should doubt it
until they have put our claims
to an actual test.
We are so sure that Rexall ''93"
Hair Tonic will completely eradi-
cate dandruff, prevent badness,
stimulate the scalp and hair roots,
stop falling hair and grow new
hair, that we personally give our
positive guarantee to refundevery
penny paid us for Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic in every instance
where it does not do as we claim
or fails to give entire satisfac-
ton to the user.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is as
pleasant to use as clear spring
water. 1t is perfumed with a
pleasant odor, and does not grease
or gum the hair. We have it in
two sizes, prices so cents and
I$1.00. We urge you to try Rexall
'93" Hair Tonic on our recon-
mencation and with our guaran-
tee back of it. You certainly
take no risk. Remember, you
can obtain Rexall remedies in
