Our sIosan--"Eduoa.ion 10 an in

from the Russell Democratl
Herein lies the importance Of educa
tion. We should educate rather thar
instruct. because It is far more impor
tant to cultivate the mind than to store
the memory, and instruction is only
part OF education. Studies are means
and not an end.
Children are by nature eager for in
formation. They are always putting
questions. and this ought to be encour
aged. Their instincts may be trusted
to a great extent, and in that case the,
will do much to educate themselves.

A Cheerful Face.

Next to the sunlight of Heaven
is the cheerful face. There is no
mistaking 1.-THE bright eye. the I'm
clouded brow, the sunny smile, all
tell OF that which dwells within.
Who has not felt Its electrifying in
fluence? One glance at this face
lifts us out OF the mists and shad-
ows into the beautiful realms of
hope. One cheerful face in the
household will keep everything
warm and light within. 1t is some
thing in 1t we feel. yet cannot ex-
press and its CHEEKY smile sends the
blood dancing through the veins OF
every joy. OH there is word OF
magic in the plain, cheerful face and
we would not exchange it for all the
soulless beauty that ever graced the
fairest form on earth. 1t may be a
very little face, but somehow this
CHEEKY face ever shines and the
shining is so bright the shadows car
not remain, and silently they creep
away into dark corners. 1t may be
a wrinkled act, but all the dearer
for that and none the less cheerful.
We linger near it and gaze tender
ly upon 1t and say. God bless this
dear. happy face. We must keep II
with US as long as We can, for home
will lose much of its brightness
when this sweet face is gone" And
even after 1t is gone. how the re-
membrance of the cheerful face
softens our way.

along. ask the girls and boys II
they wish to go. Don't make them
beg for holiday.

NEWMAN TRAVELTALKS.

Many interesting myths and legends
which are stii potent factor in the
daily life of the superstitious Bretons,
VIII be related by Z. NJ Newman, the
Traveller and lecturer. in his second
travel talk at the Columbia Theater
this evening. entitled Rural France /"
He also found many peculiar customs
In Brittany
Particularly odd is the location of the
cemetery, which lies in the very heart
OF every town or village, and IS the
playground and meeting place of the
entire community. The reason for
this. to Americans, grewsome custom,
Is that the Bretons viii not permit
themselves to. forget their dead, and
always want to see the graves from
the windows of their homes and to
pass them on their way to church
This simplicity is one of the charms
OF the Journey and not less interesting
than the medieval Architecture and
Fashionable resorts of Normandy or the
splendid chateaux, which will also be
shown in Mr.. Newman's new coior
views and motion pictures. This
traveltaik will be repeated tomorrow
Afternoon at 3:30
