ASK YOURSELF ABOUT THis7

A professor in the University Of Chi
cago told his pupils that he should con.
slider 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 y
with all good causes and made you
espouse them?
Has it make 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 it Is to be a friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or a
pure woman straight In the eye?
Do you see anything TO love in a
little child?
Will lonely dog follow you on the
street?
Can you be highminded and happy
in the meaner drudgeries of life?
Do you think washing dishes and
hoeing corn just as compatible with
high thinking as plano playing or golf?
Are you good for anything to your
self?
Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world and
see anything except dollars and cents !?
Can you look into mud puddle by
the wayside and see the clear sky?
Can you look into the sky at night
and see beyond the stars?
Can your soul claim relationship
