VEST PoCK EFT ESSAYS.
(By George Fitch.)

There are two kinds of college pro-
fessors. One kind teaches things and
the other kind learns things.
The college professor who teaches
things cords up as much knowledge as
he will hold and then retires behind
pair of spectacles and desk and ped
dies out said knowledge to ten gen
erations Of college students for $4,000
year. At the end of this time his
relatives wake him up in order to bury
him. Professors of this kind differ
from textbooks only because Of the
fact that they are self-propelling, The
college professor who learns things
acquires all the knowledge that the
past has provided and then begins
Frying into the future and dislodging
huge masses of unclassified inforna-
ton. He is the explorer of philosophy,
the skirmisher in religion, the sapper
and miner against superstition and
the personal conductor of science. In
all parts of the world professors are
leading human knowledge by the hand
into unknown regions and introducing
it to new elements, strange and fancy
breeds of molecules and recipes for
prosperity, which have laid undis-
turbed since man first began to walk
| around the earth and make loud.
but fitful noise. The college profess
sor's knowledge begins whore the or
binary man leaves off and extends to
the end of the line beyond which he
is always at work with blasting pow
der. A college professor was the
first man to peer through the vest and
collar bones of a personal friend by
the aid of the X-rays. Out in Iowa
and Kansas college professors have
established an aristocracy Of corn
which has enabled the farmers to
earn an automobile per year apiece.
A Boston professor discovered the
method of shipping conversation by
wire. Another professor began to
study politics some years ago and will
soon move into the White house
against the express will of large
number of practical politicians in or
der to pursue his Investigations fur
ther. And he will not be the first
college professor to occupy the White
house, either.
Many people laugh at the college
professor because he wears cap and
gown and leaves his umbrella in the
street car. But the real college pro-
fessor is so far ahead of the laughers
in wisdom that when he tries to talk
to them they have to hire interpreters
to cut his remarks down into words of
six syllables.
