THE TRUE SEER.

"TiS good to walk with open eyes,
To get the visions clear
That on the paths of life arise
To greet us far and near.
But they indeed will surely play
A better, nobler part
Who plod the fair or thorny way
With open mind and heart. T

Civins the Advantage.
D. John NJ, nARRY.

DIR. HoweIls once published an. article called
Equality as Basis Of Good Society"
The title was misleading. 1t suggested the
Declaration Of Independence.
The article meant something different from
what we usually call democracy. And the society
it referred to was not the great world OF Iu-
nlanity. but the social world. where people meet
who possess the education and the refinement that
usually accompany exceptional opportunities.
In that society Mr.. Howes noted an ideal
standard of conduct and standard that was pretty
consistently lived up to.
II was founded equality. But il went even
further 1t exaeted self-subordination. what Mr..
Howells called giving the advantage"
In such society, according to Mr.. Howclls,
people do not compete. They yield to one another
They do not stand in one anothcr's way. They
get out of the way. They do not rush first to the
dinner table and seize the best that may be brought
there They wait till the convenience of the others
makes the move to the table appropriate
. Through tho general yielding, through the Civ
ing to one another of the advantage the relations
OF those people become kind delightful
In the situation Mr.. Howells found a model
for the whole human
With some people we all give the advantage,
whether we are or not in what is called good
society.
But we don't always give it voluntarily And
most of don't give it all the time
As rule, We give it in only the small things.
For, in the small things. at any rate. our social
relations are founded the theory that Mr.. How
ellis saw operating so beautifully among the highly
cultivated people.
In all things it is obviously impossible. under
the present system, for us to give another the
advantage
Such policy would be runous.
Business. for example, consists principally of
getting the advantage and keeping it.
The desire for advantage leads to do in
business things they would scorn to do in their
domestic life in their social relations with their
friends.
Some men go far to try to create con-
ditions that will make it possible for them to put
their fellow-creaturcs in tight places, where their
fellow will have pay heavy tribute for
release
These men include some OF the great trust
magnates who capture the resources that people
need for the maintenance of life.
They know that in this way they will make
many thousands Of their fcllow-crcaturcs suffer.
But they feel justified. II they accused
Of being personally cruel they would consider
themselves outraged.
In the domestic and social relations they
good men. They arc regarded by the world as
highly desirable citizens. They hold positions OF
distinction and honor.
But it should be noted that the honor paid to
them is not SO great it few years
ago.

A THREE-TEAcHER SCHOOL

II is impossible, as Prof Brogden
says. to give a child the right sort OF
educational training In a one.teacher
school. Under such conditions a
teacher must have so many recita-
tons from so many pupils that II Is
impossible to give even halfway ade-
quate attention to any pupil or any
subject.
We do not mean by this that
bright. ambitious child cannot edu-
cate himself In a one.teacher school.
He can educate himself-in a meas.

say that he cannot get proper help
and guidance from his teacher. and
