AN INSPIRING OPPORTUNITY.
om the Louisville CurierJournaI.

From the Louisville COtrierJ ournal
What is considered by Investigators
the largest and finest tract of virgin
white pine now left in America may
be purchased by the State of Penn
sylvania and held as a forest reserve.
The forest covers 1000 acres, near
and has belonged to the
Cook family for a century. 1t is de-
scribed as offering a good-and, OF
course, rare-example Of private con-
versations. The experts say that 1t
could be reserved and made to pay, In
a handsome annual return.
1t would have a good educational value
as a paying forest, as well as because
it's trees are interesting survivors,
nearly all Of the virgin white pine In
the United States having been cut.
Provided there is no attempt upon
the part of the owners of this tract 10
exploit the State by asking an unrea-
sonable amount for the forest. the OPP
portunity of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture is an inspiring one. Such tract
Of white pine might be. not inappro-
acquired by the Federal gov
eminent as a national reserve, and II
it should be acquired by the State and
held under proper supervision it would
have d national and even international
interest

EDUCATION A LIFE.
From the Ohio State Journal.


We have noticed of late. from their
pictures, that the men engaged in daring
crimes were young men who bore the
signs of education and good living; and
il is to be wondered how it is that their
education has fallen into criminal ways.
Is il possible there is no deep chasm be-
tween education and crime. that the in
fuence of the schoolroom does not ex-
tend over a mans association in after
life, and give him direction and pur-
pose?
This inquiry, of course. is not restrict
ed to great criminals, but applies to all
forms of life that do not harmonic with
purer and nobler ideals, which harmony
is the sole purpose of education to Sc
cure. Is there anything in our methods
that suppresses this higher influence?
Do our textbooks contain somewhat OF
inspiration that lifts a boy or girl 10
the higher levels of life? Do arithme-
tic and grammar so promote the moral
sense as to make a person regard educa-
ton as life filed with duties and re-
sponsibilities. Just as religion is? For
it may be said finally that religion, life
and education are convertible terms. and
whatever is false to one is false TO ALL

Money by Parcel Post.

From the St Paul Dispatch.
To test the efficiency and safety OF
the parcel post, a silver dollar, fastened
to a card by two strips of paper was
sent to a member of the Dispatch stan.
1t reached it's destination In good time.
The fact that money can be sent
through the mails in this way may
force the government to make some
new postal regulations. or stand the
chance of losing on its money order
business For instance. the cost for
a postal money order for $50 is 30
cents. BY sending it through the par
eel post and having 1t insured. the
charge is only IL cents. In other
words, almost any amount OF money
as long as II doesn't weigh too much
can be sent by parcel post for a trivial
sum and insured for 10 cents.
