Animals at Play.
ward.

That the lower animals do not
laugh, that they have no sense of
humor. is hard to understand when we
think how thoroughly they love to
play. From the highest to the hum
blest, they show the keenest joy in
sport, but they cannot laugh! If they
could. perhaps the power would bring
with it other mental gifts. such as
to upset the whole order of things. Be
that as it may. the watcher of wild
life never gets used to the sight of
their mirthless sport, for in all other
respects their play is entirely hu-
man.
"A great deal of human play is Sc
rious-desperately serious on the foot
ball field and at the card table. espe-
cially when a lonely player at soli-
taire, for instance, is trying to kill
time
Il have watched a great, ungainly
hippopotamus trying by the hour to
do the same solemn thing: cutting a
croquet ball back and forth from one
end of his cage to the other. His
keepers said that without the play
thing the poor Gagged giant would fret
and worry himself to death. 1t was
his game of solitaire."-Dallas Lore
Sharp in st. Nicholas.

MAKING HOUSEWoRK EASIER
Modern Devices That Have Found
Place in Most of the Homes Of
the Country.

The sale of household and kitchen
utensils is subject to all sorts of
chances and changes from the fluctua-
tions in public taste and the march OF
improvement. Wood bowls and mine
ing knives were once staples, but the
invention of food choppers has seri.
ously diminished their usefulness.
The growing popularity of aluminium
utensils has had some setback be-
cause housekeepers find the metal
harder to keep clean and bright than
enamel ware.
The old-fashioned castiron pots, skill
lets and frying pans are out OF date
save in remote country districts, and
have given place to wrought.steel
utensils, much lighter and more last
ing. Every modern kitchen has like
wise upto-date small conveniences,
such as mechanical lighters in place
of matches. asbestos mats to keep
things hot. soap containers for dish
washing, cool handled stove lifters, and
the like. One of the great changes
that has come in the household is the
vacuum cleaner, taking the place Of
the broom, the carpet sweeper and
the carpet beater, and saving all this
hard hand labor, since the bes Sand
most efficient cleaner is electrically
run and needs only to be attached to
the electric lighting plug.

EDUCATION FOR DEVELOPMENT.

Education may be divided into three
grand divisions: First. school train
ing in the so-called three Rs This
Is fundamental, and. without 1t. fur
ther education is impossible. Second
ly, broad or liberal education. such as
| Is given in our high schools. colleges
and other institutions of learning,
which do not specifically prepare one
for his vocation. Thirdly. education
directly bearing upon ones selected
calling, like that given by the medical.
law, and technical schools.
In this article l shall confne myself
to the second class, that of education
which stands between fundamental
and vocational training.
Authorities are divided. Some over
practical men claim that this cultural
education is not necessary, and that
the boy should jump Immediately from
the fundamentals into training
which would directly assist him in the
work of his life; other educational e1-
perts strongly advocate liberal edu-
cation, like that given in our colleges,
asserting that it will broaden the
mind and fit it better to grasp the re-
quirements of the future. These lat
ter authorities do not object to the
technical training, but they would
have the young man ground himself
in general culture. il may put 1t that
way, before he obtains vocational
training, or during the time in which
he is obtaining it.
Many of the colleges are following
out this idea. and adapting their cur
ricula to it, allowing the student to
study general subjects while he is TAX
ing up one or more directly in the line
OF his future work.
It has been said that one cannot be
too broadly educated. This is true,
provided this education can be OBJ
tanned without too great sacrifice.
II boy is going to enter business
where he cannot directly use the class
les or other cultural subjects, and can
not obtain a knowledge of them ex-
cept at enormous sacrifice, | advise
him to forego a college education: but
If he is in a position to become lib
orally educated. irrespective of his
coming calling. l suggest for him
university course, or any other form
of broad education, which will un-
doubtedly better fit his mind to absorb
the technique of his trade
II, however. one is to enter pro-
fession, this general broad education
will be found of direct value to him.
although he may not use all OF it. His
mind then becomes his working tools,
and it should be trained along the
broadest and most liberal lines,
training which is not as necessary IL
one is to enter business.
It is the man, more than the educa-
ton. The education at best can only
assist him in his development.
In summing up. ] would say: Get
/ all the education you can. cultural and
otherwise. provided you can do SO
without injury to your health or to
your prospects. II you are SO situated
that you cannot well afford the time,
| because it is necessary for you to be
self-supporting at an early age, |
would suggest that you forego much
of this education. which otherwise l
would advise you to obtain.
When in doubt, get more education
than you think you need. rather than
less 1t is simply question of wheth-
er you can afford to pay the price.
