Education A Handicap.

Andrew Carnegie, like numer.
Gus other successful men of our
day, is inclined to think there
are no roads to success but his
own road.
By all means, he says, in effect
be Industrious, and honest, and
loyal; but-don't go to college
if commerce is to be your chos-
en- sphere. A man with col
lege education, the iron master
says, is lost to commerce. He
has wasted three or four years
on the lives of "old ruffians who
lived 1000 years ago." and has
lost precious time.
In the main perhaps Carnegie
is right, and in view of some of
the revelations concerning high
finance which have been made in
the late years, the fact that a
college training may unfit a man
for business is highly creditable

Practically every special school
district in the state is voting a
seven mill tax. The majority of
the country districts are do
ing the same. Newport district
voted a seven mill tax last year
and will surely do so again. Good
schools cannot be maintained on
less, and in this district, running
practically one year behind on
its revenues and with a bonded
Indebtedness of $4,000, the
the interest upon which must
be paid, a seven mill tax is alb
solutely necessary if our pub
lie schools are to be maintain
ed the coming year. For the
welfare of your schools and
city, your children and our flu
ture citizenship, let every vot-
err respond and leave nothing to
chance by the overwhelming a.
toption of seven mill tax.

to the colleges.

to the colleges.
1t might be worth considering
that if educated men may gain
nothing from business, business
has much to gain from educated
men. The brutal animal greed
that enters so largely into gen
eral business might safely be
sacrificed to higher and more hui
name instincts.
Business success ought to
mean more than mere selfish &C
emulation. 1t ought to mean
the basis upon which civilization
and human progress and the well
fare of the millions rest. This
full meaning can never come to
an ignorant man.
He who is pleased to ignorant
ly walloW in his own accumula-
lions and to regard his achieve
ment as superior to that of men
of better brains, but less wealth,
let him look to the hog for his
own superior according to his
own standard of judgment.
But Carnegie forgets that his
own success would have been i'm
possible but for the higher edu-
cation of other men, whose
brains he smelted in his scien-
tiic department of steel.
And then he forgets, too, that
even for the business man there
are higher and better things in
life than business and pitiable
and less than fully human is he
who has not the breadth and
clearness of vision to see them.
Education develops caution
and an indisposition to take
risks. It also develops sensibili-
ties that may be so finely at
tuned that the possessor of
them is apt to go long way a.
round to avoid a shock to them
and thereby loses the race -
some ignorant man with narrow
vision has seen nothing but
short cut across, has promptly
taken it, and is complacent in a
success that finer mind might
be ashamed of.
And so far as society is affect
ed in it's other grave concerns
than money making, the more
educated it is the more certain
it is of progressive triumph over
organized greed, corrupt finance,
bossism and graft.
Don't let's forget that educa-
ton has brought us up-at least
little way-from the early bus
mess conditions under which the
biggest human brute with the
heaviest club freely took his
choice of the cocoanuts without
regard to right or reason. -
