TAKING A LOOK BACKWARD
Picture Of Life Upon Our Atlantic
Shore as II Was Two Centuries
Ago.

Brush away the fog of a couple OF
centuries. and take look at this. our
native land. as 1t then appeared. Here
upon the Atlantic shore. the scream OF
the panther arose on the midnight
air with the savage war whoop. and
the pale-faced pilgrim trembled TOR
the safety Of his defenseless home.
He planted his beans in fear and gath.
cred them In trouble: his chickens
and his children were plundered by The
foe, and life itself was in danger OF
leaking out from between the logs OF
his hut, even II II was fortified with
three muskets. a spunky wife. and a
jug of whisky. Yes. my friends, this
was then wild. gloomy and desolate
place. Where the Indian squaw
hung her young pappoose upon the
bough and left It to squat at the
hush-aby of the blast. the Anglo-Saxon
mother now rocks the cradle of her
delicate babe on the carpet OF peace.
and In the gay parlor of fashion The
wild has been changed to a blooming
garden and its limits are expending
with the mighty genius Of Liberty -

the trouble ensued early in the en-.

WHAT TRUE EDUCATION IS
Rev. Charles N. sheldon's Idea Of
the Right Development Of tho
Human Mind.

What Is an education? II il the
right development. in the right direc-
ton. all the time. Of the whole being.
Tor the purpose of giving one as much
life as possible for himself, and to
share with others.
This means that the whole person
must be taken into account. Educa.
ton means more than a one.sided de-
velopment OF one talent or ability. Il
means symmetrical and many.sided
growth. The reason why there are
not more interesting people in the
world Is because so many people are
content with one-sided development
They are willing to be musicians and
nothing but musicians. They are
willing to be newspaper men and moth
Ing but newspaper men. They are
willing to be lawyers and nothing but
lawyers; teachers and nothing but
teachers; ministers and nothing but
ministers. And SO their range OF
thinking. of conversation. and of nc.
ton Is limited. True education takes
into account whole being. with many
different possibilities-a life which
has in 1t the elements of surprise and
an eagerness to know everything
which can be known about q very
great world in order to sympathize
with and enter into the thought. so
far as possible. Of all sorts and con.
ditions Of men.-Rev. Charles M. Shell
don in the Christian Herald.
