When Cost of Living Really Was High

ITO those who continue to repine over the
high cost of living, attention is directed
respectfully to War News Fifty Years Ago."
rs it is reproduced on this page to-day. That
collection of interesting happenings recites
tie sale Of meal in the Richmond market at
The very moderate price OF 500 a hushel.
Other necessities Of life, including news
papers. were at similar premium. The
subscribers to the old Dispatch paid some
thing like 500 week for the privilege of
being kept informed OF the progress OF the
War Between the States. Nowadays the war
IN Europe is rather more completely reported
pt much more moderate charge.
So cheer up, folks of Richmond! The
worst that can befall this city happened
half century ago, and not within the last
month year.

Education

wv HAT is education? The other day Il
w Harvard professor declared that no
man call himself educated who is unac-
Quainted with the language of the ancient
Assyrians. or who cannot discuss the philoso-
plies OF the Yogi. 1t is commonly accepted
that man of education must understand
Greek and Latin and one OF knowledge. as
distinguished from education, must have IL
command Of English French and German.
AS to mathematics is a man educated who
cannot do logarthm? The fve-year- old
son OF an assistant district attorney in Pitts
hurgh speaks seven languages. including Es-
peranto, and is also botanist and an as
tronomer Is lie educated, or being edu-
Gated, or is he merely freak?
Very few men have what they themselves
would call an education, and vast congre-
CATION of human beings cleared out Of college
with systems full Of information have the
slightest practical use Of all they have ac-
qurcd. The man who has turned himself
into all encyclopedia is very useful to himself
and choice collection OF spirits, and in a
contrbutory way is OF great value to the
world al large. But isn't he fearfully lone
some?
In recent years the standard OF education,
es applied to public schools, anticipating the
fact that relatively few scholars go beyond
the sixth grade, has been forced to include
a heroic jamming Of advanced studies, in the
Of college may be at least fitted for reason
able exercise OF his intellectual endowment.
Every year two something else is added,
some little push is given the scientific rym-
ming of facts into the brain Of man. Here
and there men and women study with huge
effort the business Of making children pre-
cociously learned, and children like that one
in Pittsburgh are regarded with wonder, ad-
miration and envy by mothers OF frcckled
kids who would heap rather play with
mud pies.
Just what q human being requires to go
creditably through his threescore and ten
years Will always be question Of aste and
locality. Fundamentally. that which gives
man or woman enough OF 'he worlds
knowledge to create desire for more is edu-
cation practically applied. And after all.
the Pittsburgh boy to the contrary and the
Harvard professor notwithstanding. that is
the common sense conception OF he term.
