CONSERVATISM IN EDUCA.
TON.

A complete education must
provide. of course. for the COM
plete development Of the body
for the trained eye and the skill
ed hand. Nevertheless we must
not overlook the fact that the
body is the instrument Of the
controlling and commanding
mind 1t is the training of the
mind that is to be the chief end
in education and must be ever
kept in view-the mind in the
unfolding of all of its powers and
in the application of these pow
ers to the various conditions and
circumstances Of life. The needs
of the mind must be the central
idea to guide the teacher i'll elab-
Grating satisfactory system OF
educational methods. And in our
general educational progress. In
the development of new methods
and of new devices, new pursuits
or new courses of study and in
vestigation. we dare not forget
the truth. which is old and yet
ever new and must remain the
same yesterday. today and for
ever-that the end of education
is the cultivation of mental pow
er throughout the whole range
Of its possibilities. | should I'M
hesitatinGly take the position
that the only true progressive
is one who has Il conservative
grasp on those elemental and es-
sential principles which express
the nature of the human mind,
its needs and potential powers.
He alone is capable of moving
forward in such way as to
conserve. in the true original
sense of that word, whatever
has permanent value.-President
Hibben of Princeton.

Did you ever see an animal in g
circus that looked quite as clean
quite as big and quite as ferocious as
it did on the posters? Do you ex
pect that any article in a catalog is
going to look as perfect as the il
lustration? If the quality is not "a
high as you thought it would be, is
the price as low as you expected?

Comiskey's Memory Is
Worthy of a Record

Bob Blakiston, business man OF
San Francisco, can testify that Charles
A. Comiskey of the White Sox has a
good memory for faces and names.
As many as thirty years ago. back
in 1883, BIakiston was a member OF. the
champion Athletics. Comiskey was Just
breaking into baseball on the St. Louis
club. but the two players met and were
warm friends Then Blakiston drifted

key, the latter thrust out his hand and
remarked:

seen you in good many years"
