THE EDUCATED MANY
Nv H, ADDINGTON BRUCE.

NNoPSiSht' AOAo''
Every once in while we hear
somebody growing a protest against
popular educat ton. 1t is condemned as
a breeder of discomfort, maker of
unhappiness.
There is no earthly use in edu-
eating the multitude" is about the
way the protest usually runs: 1T only
puts into their heads ambitions they
never can achieve.
when they find that they cannot
achieve them they become bitter and
angry Then they are fuel for any
| misunderstanding demagogue.
"And even if they do not blossom
| into social malcontents they are GER
contrast between the ideals they have
acquired through education and the
| hard realities Of their lives"
| What are the facts?
An uneducated man is almost al
| ways a man severely Handicapped
economically. Only in exceptional
cases can he make a good living. AS
la rule he finds it impossible. or next
to impossible, to make a decent liv-
ing.
| He may not appreciate the reason
for his failure. But he is sure to ap-
preciate the fact that he has failed;
is in poverty. Then, not unnaturafly.
bitterness and anger fill his mind. He
is only too likely to feel inclined to
stir up trouble and pull others down
to his unhappy level.
In other words, it is ignorance, not
education, that gives rise to irrational
outbreaks making for anarchy. What
actually Is needed is not to put a
check on popular education. but to
provide more facilities for popular
education than the world has yet seen
fit to provide.
Education liberalizes, rationalizes,
uplifts. fortiies men for the. stern
sweetness and light. not bitterness'

Question them, as he has done. about
the effect of thought and learning on
their souls.
Begbie talked with GOLFERS, door
keepers, porters. poorly paid clerks,
workers of many types. What they
told him compelled him to the con-
clusion:
so far from supporting the conser-

erty. the general verdict justifies ad-
ult education on grounds that would
satisfy the strictest utilitarian.
For these men, at any rate. COM
and the beauty Of the world has not
made their workaday lives intoler-
able. Rather has it so widened their
gaze and increased their responsive
ness that only by this communion can
life be endured
Their ignorance was never bliss.
their wisdom has never been folly.
The Pierian spring has quenched a
raging thirst and brought happiness
without frenzy. joy without reaction"
You. too, warrant will make find
ings similar to these If you probe, as
Begbie probed, the inner life Of any
large number Of workers who, whether
early or late in life, have gained an
education.
And henceforward you will not
dream of opposing-you will whole
heartedly support-every project for
making the blessings of education
availa BILE to larger and larger num-
men and women.

an opposing force, and that was too
insufficiently distributed to avail

My Neighbours Shoes was the whm sical subject of the address giv- en yesterday afternoon at the Y. w. c. A. by Mrs. Frederick c. Platt of Grove Hill.
 Mrs Platt, in speaking before the group of young women present, asked how many of her hearers had tried the experiment of wearing her neigh hor's shoes-in other words, adapt ed herself in imaginaton to the position and problems of her neighbor.
 She declared that the test of wear ing other peoples shoes was greater than curiosity and bigger than a carp ing inquisitorial attitude-it demand ed first, love, then compassion, and over all kindly attitude
 She said that love was never glad dened with wrong, and cited instances of the mischief of islander. Love. she said. is slow to expose, kindness is eager to put the best construction upon a, neighbours acts. and sympathy searches about for a remedy.
