GOING TO BALTIMORE /?

AIy Dear Sir: The Democratic party
of the Nation, through its duly select
ed representatives, Will choose its
standard bearer in the coming Presi-
Dental campaign at the Convention
in Baltimore which opens June 25th.
In this crisis in the history of our
country the minds of thoughtful men
are reverting to our great Governor,
Woodrow Wilson, as the one man to
whom the destines of the Nation may
be most safely entrusted. AS 10y
al son of New Jersey, it must be a
matter of pride to you that this
should be so.
From all parts of the country will
come to Baltimore men who are
pledged to Governor Wilson. They
should find in the Convention City an
enthusiastic body of New Jerseymen
who will tell them at first hand of
the great achievements of our Gov
ernor and of his splendid equipment
to give the same service, in a larger
way, to the Nation. By being one of
this body, you will be rendering the
country a real service.
The New Jersey Headquarters will
be opened at the Hotel Stafford, Bal
timore ON Saturday, June 18th. Nat
ional Committeeman, Robert S. Huds-
peth, will be in charge. You are re-
quested to register there on that day,
or as soon thereafter as you possibly
can Come prepared to fight every
minute of the time from then on until
Woodrow Wilson is nominated. In
the meantime, please send word to
these Headquarters at Trenton wheth-
er you may be expected in Baltimore
and when.

WHAT OF THE GRADUATES

At time when our high schools and
colleges are graduating hundreds of
young men and young women, the
question of whether or not the gra-
duate is the better for his course of
study is always raised. The query
begins frequently with a doubt as to
the WORTH of education, and i'm
mediately comes many definitions as
to what EDUCATION really is. Some
claim education to be preparation
for the making OF money; others, with
a finer grain of humanity, will say
that it is the ability acquired to esti-
mate values properly, or TO have a
correct appreciation of the fitness
of things; and there are not a few
who say that the goal of education is
the social standing it may give to the
one who drinks of the "Pierian
Spring"
The Kansas City Star tells of a
professor in the University of Chicago
who 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 the questions
that he should put to Them, and to our
mind, they are worth spreading broad
cast. Here are the questions:
Has education given you sympathy
with all good causes and made you
espouse them?
Has it made you public-spirited
Has it made you a brother to the
weak?
Have you learned how to- make
friends and keep them? Do you know
what 1t is to be friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or
pure woman in the eye? Do you see
anything to love in little child
viii lonely dog follow you in the
street?
Can you be high-minded 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 gon?
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 py
the wayside and see clear SKY
Can you see anything in the puddle
but mud? Can you look into the SKY
at night and see beyond the stars
can your soul claim relationship WIN
the Creator? --------.--
