ABRAHAM LINcoLN-Hls PREP.
ARATioN.
Without education Lincoln could
never have passed the barriers which
fell before him as he advanced to the
highest place In the gift OF the people
and in the service of humanity; for
nothing great is ever done without ed
ucation--that is to say, without ade-
quate and In most cases SPECIFIC prep
aration. Great things are some times
done unexpectedly, put in every case
there is always an antecedent proper
alton in the man or his condition. Lin
coin, Shakespeare and Burns are OFT
en- named as exceptions to this rule
and are held before young men and
women as examples of that kind OF
genius that is independent of train
ing. As matter of fact all three had
in a very fortunate way the kind OF
training that best fitted them to 40
their work in life. Education Is not
necessarily matter Of the school,
the college or the university. Any
preparation intelligently carried on,
which trains man to do well the
thing which nature meant him to DO,
is an education. Shakespeare had one
kind of education, Burns another and
Lincoln third. But from the begin
ming they each lad that passion for
knowledge which always makes an
educated man
