NOrmaI Notes and Comments.
Bi-wees.Iv Health Notes.

The Health Efficiency" class at the
Normal School has been working on the
subjects OF teeth and taste during the
past few days.
Some members Of the class claim that
the teeth were Intended to be used for
6 riading the food. OF course, young
people in their enthusiasm are likely to
get peculiar ideas into their heads and
not very much stock should be taken In
their theories. Il is more likely that
the teeth were originally intended for
the purpose OF looking fierce to scare
away enemies and that they are no
longer OF any real use.
These students also have obtained
from somewhere the foolish notion that
the sense Of taste has use. They say
that very few people ever really taste
their food. They claim that food must
be in a liqui i condition to be really tast-
ed and that very few people chew their
food fine enough to taste it.
These young people, ard this Is WRIST
OF all, seem to think that they should
actually put these foolish notions into
practice. Isn't it awful

Education as a Money Maker.


A competent authority states that q
person with a common school education
is able to produce one and one-hRlf
times a. much wealth as a person who
has no schooling; that the high school
graduate will produce four times as
mnch and that college man will produce
four times IS mnch wealth as the per-
son without education.
If we state the same facts in percent
ages and use the uneducsted man as q
basis on which to figure, We have:
I. A common school education adds
so per cent to individual productive
power.
2. High school training adds 100 per
cent to individual efficiency.
8. Completing the college course
adds 400 per cent to productive ability.
Again, suppose the person entirely
without educational advantages is able
to earn $40. per month. Then the
grammar school graduate will earn $50;
the high school graduate. $50. and the
college man, $160. per month.
In stating the above terse facts, it il
not intended that graduation necessar-
iI7 means education. although in most
cases it does, to q greater or less ex-
tent; noE DO the ahoYe facts mean that
3 person may not become educated IN
Iess he attends school. We have many
examples Of educated individuals who
obtained their learning in the Great
World SchooI-some call it the UniVeE-
sity Of Hard Knocks. Education may
be secured by reading technical and
wholesome literature or from exper-
fence, but such learning is harder to
acquire, is less certain and takes much
longer. Every person, during certain
periods Of his life, should take time of
just to go to school. By 50 doing he
will add to his earning power.
The above discussion has viewed edu-
cation wholly from the material side
which is, indeed, one-sided. Herbert
Spencer would have as know that edu-
cation should be 50 planned that it
teaches as how TO treat the body; how
to treat the mind; IN what way to bring
up 3 family; how 20 behave as citizen;
N what way 10 utilize ali those sources
Of happiness which nature supplies as,
as well IS how to manage our business
