products as we grow in population,
but we shall also need the Canadian

College Education.


tied question of the value of college
education in practical life is discussed
in emphatic manner by Mr.. R. T.
Crane. of Chicago, in an address which
he has taken the trouble to print and
circulate in pamphlet form, because he
was denied the opportunity of its de-
livery. 1t seems he was selected to ad-
dress a collegiate graduating class, but
his effort, when submitted to the presi-
dent of the institution, was found to be
SC radical that another orator was Sc
lected.
While Mr. Crane. like all partisans.
goes to the extreme in his consideration
of the question, he nevertheless offers
much encouragement to the boy whose
circumstances will not allow him to
secure a college education. In fact.
from Mr.. Cranes point of view, he is
subject for congratulation, rather than
of commiseration. Mr. Crane has no
use for any college He regards gradu-
sting classes, fraternities, and univer-
sity clubs as SILLY rot" He says that
colleges, as a class, foster a disrepect
for honest manual labor, lead to the
formation of bad habits, and generally
unfit young man for successful strug-
gle with the world.
Statements of this character. of
course, instantly meet with denial and
open the way to extended and unsatis-
factory argument. There can be no
doubt, however, that Mr.. Crane is we'll
within the bounds of truth when he
insists that a college education is not
indispensable to success. Many of the
Presidents of the United States did not
receive a college education. George
Washington, Andrew Jackson, Martin
Van Buren, Zachary Taylor, Millard
Fillmore, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew |
Johnson, Grover Cleveland, and Will |
lam Mckinley were not college gradu-
ates. In the business world some of the
most successful men are those who
came up from the bottom of the lad
der, gathering such education as they
could under adverse circumstances and
their native ability to the ut
most Whether men with college train
ing are actually handicapped in their
efforts to achieve substantial success is |.
a question upon which there will be a
wide difference of opinion, although Mr..
Crane quotes many facts in proof of
his position. The testimony of Mr.. E.
{. Mercer, special secretary of the As
'ociation of Colleges of North America,
10 the effect that he has found over
200 college-bred men in sluns, prisons,
ails, and sanatoriums is triumphantly
quoted by Mr.. Crane, while he also re-
yeats the. statement of ex-President
Eliot, of Harvard, that there is no
occasion to go to college to get an
education.
Theodore Roosevelt, himself a COL
ege man, once said that the non
ollege graduate would forge ahead un-
il he was thirty years old, but after
hat the college man would pass him
n the struggle of life. Almost every
'ubiic man has his own opinion upon
he subject, formed largely upon his
'wn experience. The question. there 9
ore. is likely to reniain an open one
indefinitely. The only value to the dis
ussion lies in the assurance which il /.
lives to the young man deprived of a /.
ollege education that he need not be
discouraged on account OF that fact, but

Locomotive Blew Out the Fire.

From the Topeka Capital
Using a locomotive engine to extinguish
the flames in a burning building is new
departure in Lindaborg, but this is what
happened here.
On the outskirts of the city Mexican
hut situated about thirty-five feet from
the Missouri tracks caught fire. and being
out of reach Of the fire department It be-
came the duty of the man nearest the
blaze at least to make an attempt to put
out the FIRE.
The Missouri Pecific's engine was
standing idle ON the tracks and had on
plenty Of steam The engineer saw the
fire and steemed up to point opposite
the burning building. turned on all his
steam. and blew the fire out in a few
minutes. The steam smothered the fire.
