All the rural schools are closed
now, each individual to spend
the vacation as he can, in study,
work or play. Education is the
birth-right of every child. 1t is
the duty of those in authority to
protect the child in the enjoy
ment of this right. The kind
and extent of education are pri-
marily to be decided by the
parents or guardian, but later the
youth may choose additional
training for a particular trade or
profession.
The test of education is not
outward prosperity, tho the en-
largement of mans dominion
over nature, or the increase of
commercial intercourse. These
are laudable, if they add to the
store house Of human purpose,
or extend the scope of permanent
happiness among men. The true
test of education is in the in
fuence he has upon the minds
and hearts of the people. The
first step in education is to as
certion the present state of mind
development. Having learned
the capacity of the mind, the in
structor begins to teach new ele-
ments of knowledge step by step
the learner is led to associate the
new facts with those previously
known, both Of which are called
into use from time to time by
tests and examination. In edu-
cation the environment of the
child must not be overlooked as
a potent factor. The mind is in
fiuenced, not only by the cot rse
of lessons but by the conditions
under which the construction is
given. The home life, the sur
roundings in the school room,
the companions on the play
grounds, in fact, all the things
heard and seen, have a vitaliz-
ing or depressing influence in the
process of development.
Frequently influences of which
we are not conscious WELD the
greater force upon the mind and
life of the learner.
Education, aside from the sub
ject taught, exercises and in
fiuence upon character, a student
who is trained to mental and
physical labor absorbs cardinal
virtues in addition to the ele-
ments of knowledge. He &C.
quires habit of self control, in
dustry and perseverance. The
assignment of lessons causes him
to acustom himself to other i'm
pulses than present inclinations.
Eventually, thro persistent work
and study he acquires ennobling
habits and sturdy strength. The
student is not inclined to meas
ure life by years or decader, but
rather by the wholesome culture
of the mind. This culture brings
an enlargement of power, a
greater capacity to discharge the
functions of life. and makes it
possible for the mind to range in
a more expanded field. aItho such
mental development enlarges the
duties and responsibilities, it
greatly multiplies the joy Of liv-
ing as we'll as the hopes and am
billions for future years.

The Blue Bird. as everyone knows
by this time, is the work of Maurice
Maeterlinck, the Belgian poet. The
play has been produced not only in
America but seven or eight European
countries, and its success has always
been signal. In America it has enjoy

The story of The Blue Bird tends
to show that happiness is a free thing,

she adopted this resolution, however,
before he turned to her saying:

"Oh, Juliet, / want to show you a

Juliet's enthusiasm over it was much

have seen, and perhaps did see. After
they had dropped the subject she hap
pened to glance at his scarfpin and a
new Joy sprang up within her. She
would get him scarfpin for Christ

she could have made a better selection

the chance.

upon for the purpose Of keeping his

that he reported day after day how he
