GOES BACK TO ARIST0PHANEs
Punctuation System Said to Have
Been FIrst Employed by Famous
Greek Philosopher.

The punctuation marks which sep.
arate and conclude sentences and
thereby simplify the perusal of what
is written are said to have been first
employed by Aristophanes. The sys.
tenn devised by him was not however,
generally known. and soon fell again
into complete oblivion. 1t was nearly
q thousand years before similar at.
tempt was again made. 1t was in the
time of Charles the Great that punctu.
alton marks were again introduced in.
to writing at the instigation of the dis
tinguished linguists Warnefried and
Alcuin. These signs also, however,
fell into disuse. The present system
of punctuation. now used in all mod.
ern languages with but insignificant
variations. was introduced in the first
half of the fifteenth century by a vene.
tian printer named Aldus Manutius.
He is the real father Of our punctua-
ton marks, of the full stop. comma,
semicolon, colon, question and exclam-
a.ion marks. apostrophe and inverted
commas. Manutius' system was adopt.
ed later by all printers until it finally
established itself throughout Europe.

LEARN TO DO BY DOING.

Theory and book learning are not
Of secondary importance. They occu-
py major positions in every form OF
education. Without them experience
would not be well founded.
Thinking and planning begin in tho
ory. but are valuable only II they
go beyond theory and enter practice.
The dreamer. even though he may
possess marvellous talents. remains .
theorist, and little that he does &C.
complishes anything. He begins and
does not finish.
The best way to learn to do a thing
is to do 1t. or to try to do 1t. even
though the first result may be unfin-
ished and near 20 worthless.
The pencil draft. born in the mind.
needs linking in,' SO to speak. and
those finishing touches which enable
one to build something from 1t. Exact
though it may be, 1t does not prove
its reliability until that which 1t rep
resents Is actually done.
Many a young man equipped with a
technical education enters the world
of business feeling that his diploma
entities him to immediate recognition
and to a high position. This knowl-
edge, which the school has given him.
is the best foundation he can have;
for, II he has been a good student,
he is equipped for accomplishment.
If. however. he expects this theoreti-
cal and partially practical training
to obtain for him a commanding po-
sition at the start, he Is sure tC be
disappointed. He has done well. He
began right. He has in him knowl.
edge which may be of untold benefit
to him. yet this school or book edu-
cation. valuable as 1t is, needs work
ing out in the shop of trade or the
office of business. where he will learn
to do by doing
However liberal the school may be,
it is only the beginning Of his educa-
ton. 1t simply equips him to handle
himself to better advantage. He then
goes out into the practical world.
and. with this more or less theoretical
knowledge. attempts to do things.
When he has done these things. he
has added to his academic knowledge
that experience which, combined with
what goes before it, makes him more
proficient than he would have been II
he had enjoyed either one without the
other.
Therefore, l say to you, young man.
get all the school education that you
can use to advantage. Realize the
value of technical training, whether
1t Is in mechanics or in business
Learn the theory. and then practice
on that theory.
Learn to do by doing. even though
what you do may be full of faults.
Your mistakes, II properly treated.
will be stepping-stones to accomplish.
ment- Keep on doing, however. look
ing upon each experiment or action
as a part of your training. which
training should continue as long az
you live. for you never will reach pre-.
ficiency. nor will you ever approach
it. II you forget to learn while you
are doing.
There is no place in this world for
the fellow who will not learn, or who
thinks that he has finished his educa-
ton.
Business never graduates its pupils.
They are in school forever
