Is TRIP AROUND WORLD BET
TER THAN COLLEGE?
CChicago Examiner. }

A son writes me saying: MY ia
Their has offered me the opportunity
of going to college or of going
around the world with private
tutor. The voyage around the
world, it is supposed, will occupy
about a year. Which do You think
I ought to accept?"
It is very easy for me 70 answer
my friend, fer the voyage around
the world means a year and the
voyage through college means four
years. But the time relation is only
one side Of the problem.
A trip around the world does
have. Of course, great value. II gives
a certain knowledge OF the world.
1t creates intellectual values II
stores the memory. II enriches the
imagination. 1t fills the intellect
with pictures. II makes a constant
appeal to the intellectual eye. 1t
represents the movies" In which
the man himself is the movie" 1t
does give some notion OF what this
world has been. IS. and may become.
But be IL said that, 10 the boy

touch the fundamental elements Of
character. He Is not able 10 appre-
ciate the deepest things that make
up civilization. He is not able 20
understand the movements. the ele-
ments. the tides and the forces thar
constitute a nations essential life.

An observsnt person seated in the
visitors gallery Of the house Of rep
resentatives a few days ago might
have noticed this:
Speaker Clark arose gravely from
his place up in front and stepped
down 70 the floor with the air Of a
man who has suddenly thought OF
something Of the utmost Importance
10 the continued welfare Of the ma
ton. He walked TO the seat Of an
other representative and whispered
something in his ear. The other
representative solemnly had began
20 tumble In his pocket. In a mo-
ment he produced q. little dark color
ed oblong shaped commodity which
he half secretly pressed into the
speakers hands. Champ Clark with
his pocket knife throughtfully cut off
, a small corner Of the dark object and
placed IT IN his mouth.
Then he went back to his place,
chewing refie ctively the while. and
resumed his job of presiding over
the house.

ries. His intellectual life becomes
disciplined, If disciplined at all, in
most irregular form ana fashion.
His social conduct may become more
facile, but It is liable 10 lack IN
dignity.
A journey around the world does
not give five things which are of
the highest Importance and which
the college should give. They are:
Ftrst-The power to think, to reason,
to Judge, 10 weigh evidence, to reach
the proper conclusion from complex
and divergent facts. Second-The
power TO investigate, which is essen
TALLY the application Of the power
Of thinking. Third-The power Of
mental concentration. Travelling is
often dissipation of mental energy;
college represents its use in mass
formation. Fourth - Friendships.
Travelling results in making many
acquaintances, but few friends.
Friendships form one Of the price
less results OF four years of living
together in a college. Fifth-Prep-
aration for something worthy after.
Travelling is so often a blind alley:
it opens nowhere. College is life
in and OF itself, but il is more a
preparation for life. Ii is a guide
board 10 the road in the future. or.
perhaps, it is a strengthening Of
