From the Kansas City Star.
A professor in the University Of Chicago
told his pupils that he should consider
them educated in the best sense OF the
word when they could say yes to every
one of fourteen questions that he should
put to them 1t may interest you TO
read the questions. Here they are: Has
education given you sympathy with all
coed causes and made you espouse them?
Has it made You public-spirited! Has it
made YOU brother to the weak? Have
you learned how to make friends and
keep them? DO you know what ii Is to
be "a friend yourself: Can you look an
honest man Or pure woman straight in
the eye? Do you see anything to love i'm
a little child? Will a lonely dog follow
YOU in the street? Can you be high mind
ed and happy in the meaner drudgeries
of life? Do You think washing dishes and
hoeing corn just as compatible with high
thinking as piano playing or golf? Are
you good for anything to yourself? Can
you be happy alone" Can you look out
on the world and see anything except
dollars and cents? Can you look into a
mud puddle by the wayside and see a
clear sky? Can YOU see anything in tho
puddle but mud" Can you look into the
sky at night and see beyond the stars?
Can your soul claim relationship with the
