selves instead Of Improving their
minds.
This being the case 1t seems to me
that IL Is time for parents to use
little sense on the subject. and quit
sacrificing themselves to the fetch OF
their children's Quotations. The Jug
gernaut car OF the college has rolled
over enough PROSTATE forms of poor
fathers and mothers and crushed them
into the grave

system of any of our cities furnishes

he or she should be required TO give
unmtstakable proof Of unusual fitness
for some particular calling that would
require special training
What Education Is.
There are two things upon which
parents stand In piteous need OF en-
hghtenment. One is that all educa-
ton does not come put up in school
packages. and branded with the name
OF f7mous university on It. The most
important part Of our education Is not
what we get from books but what life
and work and our fellow men teach

The successful business men OF this
age have not been trained In colleges.
but have got their education in store
and shop and counting room Nor need
poor parents. feel that because they
cannot send their children off to col
leges they are depriving them Of the
opportunities Of developing their
minds. In this day Of cheap books
and free libraries anybody can get all
the culture they can assimilate, and
some Of the most learned people in the
world are self educated
The second point that parents should
bear In mind is the necessity OF really
trying to find out whether their off,
spring are geese or swans before they
offer themselves up as sacrifices be-

that your Maud or John has everv

doesn't the pathos OF all your sacrifices
and all the deprivations you have en-
dured to give them advantages become
oathos. and instead Of being a hero.
don't you feel that you have been q
blooming idiot?
It's time for parents to look at this
matter sensibly and to realize that II
boy or girl wants the higher educa-
ton he or she VIII get 1t. and any
way that the college course that Is
bought at the price OF the fathers
and mothers additional toll and lack
OF pleasure and comfort costs too
much.

d orothy Dir On he s.,, ss.s.'i'.

[" HIS is the time of the year when
always feel like going apart
into some convenient wailing
place and uttering loud and heart felt
lamentations. for il is the season when
thousands of poor, misguided parents
are preparing to make their annual
sacrifice upon the affairs of their chill
dren's alleged education.
In countless homes all over the land
mother Is turning off the hired girl
and cutting down the grocery bill. and
pairing the potatoes little thinner, and
making the coffee q little weaker, and
planning how she can do without
new dress and wear her last winters
flannels. and cut out every possible
comfort and luxury in order that Maud
may be sent off to Miss Soakum's fash
ionable finishing school for young
ladies.
And father is girding his hunger belt
little tighter about him. and work
ing a little harder, and looking a lit
tie bit more weary and careworn and
hump shouldered every day. and he is
wearing his last summers suit and
smoking stogies instead OF cigars, and
eating a sandwich instead Of q good
lunch IN order that he may send John
off to collage.
A Problem.
When I contemplate these sublime
and idiotic sacrifices. 1 never know
which / want to do most, to kneel
down and kiss the feet Of these mis-
guided parents or to rise up and bat
them over the heads for not having
more practical sense. for ninety nine
times out Of a hundred all of the
suffering and toll and deprivation that
fathers and mothers undergo for the
sake Of their children's education is
absolutely wasted.
All that the finishing school does
for Maud is to fill her foolish head with
an exaggerated idea Of the import
ance Of dress and society, and to
make her mad for pleasures that she
can never have. and to generally un-
fit her for the life she Is destined to
lead. All that John brings back from
college is a college yell and purple
coat and a bullpup. and a settled con-
viction that he knows more than the
"old man."
If all boys and girls were certified
geniuses; If there was even a certainty
that not being geniuses they were mad
for knowledge and were bending every
nerve and energy to make the most OF
the opportunities given them, there
would be some justification In parents
half-starving themselves and working
themselves to death in order TO send
their children to expensive schools.
AS a plain matter of fact. however,
the great majority OF boys and girls
are not top heavy with brains They
are only capable OF taking very
moderate amount OF culture They
have small interest in education for
educations sake, and the great ma
jority OF them when sent off to college
spend their time In amusing them

means less profit in wheat farming,

The following sensible article
against Canadian reciprocity is from
the pen of F. E. Woods Of Leeds.
have long been wondering why
some one does not rightly name the
proposed trade agreement between
Canada and the United States-it is
not reciprocity" which is defined as
''the admission mutually of certain
goods, supposed to be practically
equivalent to each other, duty free
or at equal duties on importation"
1t Is simply freed trade in raw ma
terials. allowing the Canadian farm
er to flood the United States with the
product of it's cheaper land, to the
detriment Of the producer of this
country. and with no benefits to him
in the way of cheaper goods which
he must buy.
Does Senator Beveridge and the
other advocates of the proposed meas
ure, including President Taft, expect
the producer to believe they are hon
est in their stand on the question
when they agree to a provision. put
ting unfinished lumber on the free
list, and forcing US to buy finished
lumber Of the lumber trust or pay a
duty on the finished article? Per-
haps they expect us to believe that
the Canadian manufacturer does not
want to sell to US. This is only one
illustration.
Have they figured how much differ
ence in the awful high cost Of liv-
ing" the admission of wheat from
Canada free Of duty is going to make
to the average individual per year?
Let us see. The yearly consumption
OF wheat per capita is about six
bushels, the most that can be expect
ed is the destruction of the premium
of about seven cents per bushel over
the export price Of wheat that the
producer has been able to get for his
product for the past few years. which
would mean saving of q seven cents
per bushel on six bushels Of wheat.
or the magnificent sum Of forty-two
cents per year for each individual.
which would nearly buy two Of the
cigars that our learned lawmakers
smoke. This reduction of seven
cents per bushel means a loss OF

his investment, to the farmer raising
800 acres Of wheat on land worth $40
per acre and yielding fifteen bushels
per acre, and that out of the net pro-
fits on an investment that now yields
a lower rate Of interest than almost
any other that can be named.

statement that reciprocity will not
fnjure the producer and in the same
article or speech say that "reciproci-
ty'' is necessary in order to reduce
the high cost of living. How. in the
name of common sense are they go
ing to reduce the cost Of living AZ
cents per capita per year in the cost
Of wheat-without injuring the pro-
ducer, when it is clear that this same
producer gets no benefits as to price
on the things that he necessarily
must buy? 1t means that he must
sell his product for less money, and
therefore. buy less Of the product OF
the consumer thereof. Reciprocity
thereby Injuries both the producer and
the consumer.
We do not need Canadian wheat
