GOES BACK TO ARlSTOPHANEs
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
thousand years before a 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 dts
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
h..lf of the fifteenth century by 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-
Ion marks. apcstrophe and inverted
commas. ManutiIs' system was adopt
ed later by all printers until it finally
established itself throughout Europe.

those finishing touches which enable
one to build something from it. Exact
though it may be. it does not prove
it's reliability until that which 1t rep
resents is actually done.
Many young man equipped with
technical education enters the world
of business feeling that his diploma
entities him to immediate recognition
and to high position. This knowl
edge which tn, school has given him,
is the best foundation he can have;
for, If he has been a good student,
he is equipped for accomplishment.
II. however. he expects this therrett-
cal and partially practical training
to obtain for him a commanding po-
sition at the start, he is sure t. be
disappointed. He has done we'll. He
began right. He ha,. in him a knowl-
edge which may be of untold benefit
to him. yet this school or book edu-
cation. valuable as it is. needs work
ing out in tn, hop 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-
tion. 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

he had enjoyed either one without the

Therefore, say to you. young man,
get ell the school education that you
can use to advantage. Realize the
value of a technical training. whether
it 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. If properly treated.
will be stepping-stones to accomplish
ment. Keep on doing. however. look
ing upon each experiment or action
as part of your training, which
training should continue as long ae
you live. for you never will reach PR.
ticiency, 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-
tion.
Business never graduates its pupils.
They are in school forever.

LIGHT OF MODERN SCIENCE.

DR.. T. Alexander MacNichol. in one
of his addresses, SAYS briefly: Fifty
years ago men commonly believed
that alcohol was food. tonic. and stim.
ulant: but they were excusable for ig
norance. as little was known of the
psychology and chemistry of the blood
and tissues: the action of bacteria
upon the functions and life of tissue
cells was a sealed book. The lnven
tion of instruments of precision and
the application Of more exact meth.
DDS of examination has revolutionized
our attitude toward alcohol. In the
light of modern science alcohol is not
a food. a tonic. or a stimulant. In a
word. science has rated and classified
alcohol as a universal protoplasmic
poison to all forms of organic life."
