THE VALUE OF EDUCATION

THE VALUE OF EDUCATION
Education is one birthright of
every child. 1t is the duty of the
parent to give the child the enjoy
ment Of this privilege. The kind
and extent Of its education is to
be primarily decided by the par
ent, but later in life the individ-
ual may choose for himself.
Education is worth just the diff
ference that it makes in the abili-
ty and actions of the educated
person. The aim of education has
been stated i'm various ways. In
the minds of the people the aim of
education is usually interpreted
in termstof knowledge and ability.
The test of education is not al
ways outward prosperity and en-
largement of man s dominion over
nature. The true test of educa-
ton is the influence that it has
upon the hearts and minds of peo-
pie. The aim of education must
be broad enough to include the
welfare of the individual and the
good of society. 1t is true that
''He who lOseth his life for the
good of the group shall find it. y
The whole Importance of educa-
tional work is to develop the pow
er of the mind and body. The i'm
pulse of mental activity is driven
from one faculty to another, from
the vision to the memory. from
the memory TO the imagination,
from the Imagination to the af-
fectiOns and from the affection to
the will. until the whole being is
awakened.
in education the environment of
the child must not be overlooked.
The mind is influenced not only
by the conditions under which the
instructions are given, but by the
home life. the surroundings, the
playmates--in fact. all things
have an influence upon the mind
of the child. Frequently things
that teachers and parents are not
conscious of are the things that
have a great bearing upon the pu-
pill.
Education develops the charac-
ter. A student who is trained to
mental and physical labor, alb
serbs other virtues than the ele
ments of knowledge acquired. He
gets the habits of self-contrOl, in.
dustry and perseverance. Even
tually through continuous work
and study he acquires good hab.
its and strength of character.
The social virtues of education
are: Honesty, Promptness, Clean
liness, Industry, Regularity and
Fidelity. These habits acquired
in childhood are the most estim-
able throughout life. The scholar
is the grandest type of man. He
becomes enlarged by the mental
struggle through which he has
come. If facts are forgotten,
they can be recalled in a system.
attic way when they are needed in
actual service. The student is
not inclined to measure life by
years, but by the culture of the
mind, which brings about an cr'
largement of power and ability to
discharge the duties of life. Al.
though education enlarges the du
ties and responsibilities of life, it
greatly multiplies the joys and
hopes of ambition of future years.

the California Legislature recent
ly. These programs were all very
interesting to visitors, but as all
were given at the same time it was
impossible to hear an see every.
thing that was going on.
Friday evening at the opera
house the seniors gave a class
play, Pyramus and Thisbe, an ap
preciative audience. This comedy
is an adaptation from Shake.
speare's Midsummer Night Dream
and was well rendered by the
young people. Prof. Hylton left
the management almost entirely
with the students and they showed
themselves capable of doing
things for themselves. The parts
were all well played and especi.
ally those of Pyramus and of
Thisbe by Clifford Seal and Glen
Craig. There was nothing lacking
Oh the part of any actor to pre-
vent the play being an entire sue
cess. The Greek dress worn by
the actors and also by the men,
bers of the junior class who repre-
sented the spectators on the stage
made very pretty as well as n
very instructive picture. The cast
of characters was as follows:

The total proceeds of the play
were $500. The balance after
expenses are paid will be used by
the seniors to purchase some suit
able gift for the school.
On Saturday evening the gradu,
ating exercises took place at the
opera house before the largest
crowd that has been assembled
there for a long time.
The opening numbers by the or
chestra under the management Of
Mr.. Slater delighted the audience
and surprised those who had not
heard the orchestra before. The
musical part of the program
throughout was exceptionally
good. Mansfield is becoming wei
known as a music loving town and
our visitors from other places
found only words of praise for the
band, orchestra and vocal num-
bers, rendered during commence,
ment week.
The invocation was delivered by
Rev. j. j. Wolf of Seymour, who
is pastor of the Nj. E. church here.
The high school girls glee club,
which appeared next, was reve-
lation to many people. The girls
have not sung together in public
and few present expected the
numbers to be given in such an
admirable manner as they were.
These ten young ladies will all be
in school next year and will no
doubt be able to add materially to
the enjoyment of the grauating

very valuable.

pletely bequeathed to the Juniors
and others the belongings of the
senior class. Her appearance on
the stage was easy and graceful
and added much to the effect pro
duced by her number.
After a very pleasant vocal Sc
lection by Bertha Miller, which
was warmly applauded until she
returned to the stage for an en-
core the Class History was read
hy Clifford Seal. This paper was
somewhat lengthy, but was inter
csting especially to the students
and acquaintance of the gradu-
ates.
Zella Mcclellan, the only other
girl in the class, took her place
promptly and read Class Prop
hecy that showed a strong power
Of Imagination and excellent use
of language. Her pictures of
what her classmates and teacher
would do in the future were enter

they will not all come to pass just
as she prophesied.

the subject of the Grafton deliv-
cred by Paul Hopper and it was
an excellent production. 1t was
well written and not so lengthy
that it became in the least tire

Following the Grafton was two
more pleasant numbers by the
Glee Club and then came the class
address. Prof. Hylton announced
this number of the program not
as an introduction of the speaker.

should more fully appreciate the
worth of the graduates and other
students of our High school. Mr..
Chas. W. Evans, who delivered the
address graduated from the Mans
field High school in 1905 and his
success shows what a young man
can do who has sufficient will

The subject of Mr.. Evans ad,

the shadowy one that leads down
into the darknes and gloom of the
valley. Throughout the address
there was interspersed just
enough humor to keep the audi
cnce entirely at ease and eager to
hear the continuation of the argu-
ment. Mr.. Evans is fluent
speaker and we can readily see
why he received such n warm re-
ception from the people of Mans

The address was followed by
two selections by the orchestra

Doctor Tells How to
Shed Bad Complexion

We cannot restore dcgenerated facial
tissue any more than we can restore q
lost limb 1t is useless to attempt 10
convert a wurn-out complexion INTO u
new one The rational procedure IS To
remove the complexion instead-re-
move the devitalized cuticIe. Not by
surgical means. however. as the undef-
living CUTS is too thin, too tender to
withstand immediate exposure Apply
ing ordinary mercolized wax will grad
ually absorb the offending cuticle by
degrees, a new. youthful skin appears:
{; skin soft and dclicately tinted as
rose petal.
No lady. need hesitate. to try this.
Procure an ounce of mercolized wax
of the druggist. Spread on thin layer
before retiring, removing this in the
morning with soap and water. In from
one to two weeks the complexion Is
completely transformed.
All approved treatment for wrinkles
is provided by dissolving an ounce OF
powdered saxolite in a half pint OF
witch hazel. Bathing the face IN the
solution brings prompt and remarkable
results-Dr. Rupert Mackenzie in Pop
