Why 90 to CoIlege7


We are often asked, should .
young man or woman 60 to COL
lege? Nowadays the thing of
going to college or nit, is in the
air. We hear it discussed a great
deal and hear many arguments
both for and against a college
course. As to the propriety of it
let it be said that it all depends
on so many circumstances that a
direct answer is impossible.
That every young man or woman
should go to college is just as
nonsensical as that no one should
go at all. Real genius is indie
pendent of all conditions, and
hence some of the worlds great
est men never entered a college
door. Such was the case of A.
braham Lincoln. 1t always seems
to us that a college education
would have spoiled him and
crippled his rare genius. But all
such men have a training of some
kind and equal to college edu.
cation.
But on the other hand all other
things being equal, a college ed
ucatIon is necessarily of great
value. Because a few or even
many college graduates are fools
is no argument against the col.
lege. The college connot change
the nature of men or women. If
they go into college as impracti-
cables they will as a rule come
out the same. A college devel-
ops, but does not create. 1t is
an artificial institution and not a
one. The question
of going to college or not can on
ly be solved by knowing the man
or woman, the college and the
circumstances incident to the
case. Here, as in all cases, ev-
cry tub must stand on its own
bottom. individuality must be
consulted. Many persons will
not take an education any more
than some coarse rough stones
will not take a polish. To at
tempt to educate them is to
throw away time and money. 1t
is to encourage false ambitions
and to breed disappointments.
On the contrary, surprising the
possession of a good mind and
there is nothing that
can add to its power and useful
ness like college education.
Here the mind is taught to work.

Urges Relocation of filsh- Grade
Roads.

lHc average lll6 vi HOTScs duu
vehicles may be increased and the
cost of hauling reduced, accord
ing to the Office of Roads, of the
Department of Agriculture, by
relocating many old roads and the
more scientific laying out of new
ones. The natural tendency in
road building is to build a
straight road, whether it goes O.
yer steep grades or hills, or not,
and pulling over these grades
naturally adds to the wear and
tear on horses and vehicles.
The doctrine of the Office of
Roads is that the longest way
round is the shortest and most e.
economical way home, and that
frequently by building highway
around hill or grade, but little
appreciable distance is added and
this is more than offset by the re-
duced strain of hauling.
The chief draw back from the
owners point of view is that the
laying out roads on this principle
of avoiding grades necessitates,
in some cases, running the roads
thsOugh good farm land or or
chards or pasture instead of 60
ing round the farm line and
building the road through old
wOrn-out fields and over rocky
knobs. This, of course, must
raise a question in the mind of
the individual land owners as to
whether the cutting up of his
property by road yields him ill.,
dividual advantages and so bene-
fits his community as to offset
the use of such land for a road,
or to overcome the inconvenience
of having his land divided. In
this connection the Office of
Roads points out that the run
ming of road and the resulting
traffic through good farm,
where there are good sheep, cat
tie, horses, grain, fruit or vege.
tables, has u certain advertising
value and in many instances
make the land more valuable.
In other cases, the importance of
such a level road to the commun.
ity is SO great that it might well
repay those using the road to
give the farmer the equivalent
in land equally good in place of
what he has sacrificed to the
common welfare.
At any rate, the Office of Roads
is now taking special pains to
make clear the economic advan-
tage of avoiding steep grades in
their roads, even at some sacri-
flee of better land. Investigation
shows that the laying of such
roads over hills has resulted
more from attention to preserva-
ton of farm lines than from
scientific attention to the prob
lem of road building.
According to the testimony of
farmers consulted, where a horse
might be able to pull 1900 lbs.
on level road, it would have
difficulty in pulling 5000 pounds
up a steep grade. The size of
the load, therefore, tends to be
measured by the grade of the
largest hill on the road TO mar
ket. In a number of cases act
ual experiment shows that the
relocating of roads around hills
has been accomplished, either
with no addition in road length |
in some instances, and with the
adding of only few feet to the
highway in the others. The OF.
lice knows of no case where
properly relocated road which
has cut out grades has led to any

Although somewhat skeptical re-

If the tank is found to be unsani-
tary or inadequate for the work, it

There was a decided change of front

Abner had turned over every penny
