ADDRESS ON VALUE
Of AN EDUCATION
Superintendent A. 9. Kings
ford Speaks to Mem
bers.Of Rural
Club.

What is the greatest value of an ed
ucation? This was answered by Super
intendent A G. Klngsford at the reg
ular meeting of the Kirkwood AgricuI
tural society at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Tracy E. Randall on Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Kingsford said that he
could easily see the result of what has
been taught in the Baraboo high school
when Mrs. Randall was a pupil there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Randall have an excep-
tional rural home. The building is new,
the improvements are modern includ
ing electric lights and the furnishings
are in excellent taste. Mr.. Kingsford
spoke of the pictures being selected
with care and the magazines and other
literature being of the best. The home
shows what the schools try to teach
that is how to 1--we and to get the most
out of life. By having the best printed
matter one is able to keep in touch
with the ablest minds the world over
and in this way the individual contin-
ues to grow, develop, expand. What is
taught in the high school is for that
very thing. Mr.. Kingsford spoke of
persons who had made plenty of money,
yet had made failure of life because
their vision was not beyond the county
seat few miles away. They took no
interest in the great political, social
and industrial problems which are for
ever with humanity. The speaker men
toned others who wore' vinegar faces,
who were failures because they did not
seem to be in harmony with the world
and get the best that is in living. Mr..
and Mrs. Randall have ideal rural
surroundings and try to obtain the best
things in life as the years go by.
Pupils are not expected to go to
school to learn arithmetic, geography
or language alone, but are expected to
get into broader field. Much that is
taught is but foundation and then it
is for the pupil to make the best of
what he has learned. Too many do not
take life seriously and are likewise fail
ures. Such results as the home before
him was what the schools hoped to pro-
duce, the speaker held.
H. E. Cole related some of his
experiences across the pond. Miss
allegro Wood gave a reading, Miss
Marjorie Pearson favored the company
with an instrumental number. and
solos were given by Miss Gertrude
Morse and Le0ta Harris.
The president of the club, the host of
the evening, announced the next meet
ing would be at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Guy Weidenkopf on Wednesday
evening, April 26. Baskets filled with
viands will be the feature of the occas-
ion and w. H. Babcock of Reedsburg,
the county Y. M. C. "A, secretary, will
give an address.
