SOME QUESTIONS IN
REGARD TO EDUCATION

one OF the learned professors In the
Chicago University has propounded %
few questions as a test OF education.
As coming from a university pro'es.
sor. they are queer questions. They
are not queer 10 the man or woman
who has a line on the simpler culture
in life, for they touch the very web
and wool Of personality.
Has education made you a brother
Of the weak" is one Of them.
It is clear that so far as education
has failed in this II has not left it's
impression upon the best there Is IN
you your conscience and your sym.
pathy. You may be a dabster IN d.f.
feren;ial calculus: YOU may be able
TO read Caesar backward. Cicero, Wiz
gil and Horace may be as familiar 10
you as the most popular topical song;
but If your heart is deficient, Il You
do not know and will not see the need
Of those that have a call on YOU fo-
sympathy and encouragement, you
have spent great deal o. time to very
little purpose.
Another question Is: Can YOU Loo
an honest man or a pure woman 10 tae
eye?"
4 queer test OF education, in the
commonly accepted sense. isn't IT,
But Il your education has not made
for integrity and clean living. what is
it worth to you? II {. does not give
the true polish Of sincerity simplicity
and truth to your personality, wherein
is It of real profit?
Can you look out on the world and
see anything but dollars and cents?'
is another
Right there is where education has
a. bearing on your purpose in life. Has
It led you only into field and shop to
delve, and never under the stars to
dream? Is every treasure il has
brought to you gold or silver.pated?
Is there nothing it has LETT You save
that which has a metallic ring?
HAS education made you public.
spirited" is another-and sufficient
unto our present purpose.
In way this question is a summary
of all the others. 1t covers philan.
thropy companionableness, integrity;
certain high standard of character,
and a purpose that looks quite beyond
selfish interests and personal needs
In so far as education has failed to
quicken this spirit it has failed utterly
II is barren and without fruit.
Moreover. this failure is a condition
Of ingratitude, for it is only through
the active manifestation Of public
spirit that education is possible. As
education fails to arouse public spirit
it denies a fundamental Characteristic
of the race II proclaims that man
should be a hermit and not a grega-
rious being. 1t makes for narrowness
and selhshness that would effectually
put the brake on all progress
Queer questions are these? They
may be as we commonly define the
word education" but they are miehtv
pertinent. - Portland (Ore) Eveun~

LEGISLATING FOR DIVERSITY
South Carolina Farmers Asked to De-
vote Less Acreage to the Pro-
duction Of Cotton.

The European war has brought
home to the people of the United
States the great dependence Of the
South on its cotton. With it's cot
ton market in large part closed, a
considerable part of the country feels
helpless and demands extraordinary
aid from the rest of the nation.
Many Southerners are convinced
that this dependence on a single crop
Is not only unnecessary but unwise.
says Cleveland Plain Dealer. The plant.
ers have been urged to devote part of
their land to other crops, SO that In
such an emergency as that which now
confronts them they would be in no
danger of ruin.
II has remained for the South Car.
DINA legislature to put this advice
into the form Of law. A bill has been
passed to compel every planter of the
state to devote at least one-third of
his acreage to some crop other than
cotton.
Such law is paternalistic in the
extreme, and It is doubtful If it could
be enforced. To dictate to a land
owner what he shall do with his land
has seldom been successfully ATTEMPT.
ed in the United States. The law,
however, may not be without merit.
Even If it is unenforceable 1t will
serve the purpose Of informing plant.
ers that the best opinion is in favor of
crop diversifcation.
