Living and Making living.

President Butler's comments in his an
nual report for Columbia University on
the state of things in general and educa-
tional matters In particular contain much
material for many separate discussions,
which, it is very likely, will continue for
some time
One distinction which he draws must
strike the consciousness Of intelligent per-
sons as deep and poignant probe toward
the hidden cause of much unsatisfactory
tissue in the American body polite. lie
remarks: THE ruling passion Just now
is not TO know and to understand, but to
get ahead. to overturn something, to ap-
ply in ways that bring material advantage
some bit of information or some acquired
skill. Both school and college have IN
large part taken their minds of the true
business Of education, which is to prepare
youth to live, and have fixed upon them
something which is very subordinate,
namely, how TO prepare yout h to make
living"
The difference between living and max
ing living is as great as thc difference be-
tween the mind of the great man and the
little one. To stats It better: The great
man understand. that the former may
include the latter, among many other du-
ties. 1t scarcely possible to overestimate
the inclusiveness of the facts so concisely
stated by DR.. Butler with some of their
correlative., or to realize the peril they
hold to civilization worthy of the oppor-
tunity given to men Of our time and re-
sponsiblity.
DIR. Butley has made no discovery; these
facts have been perceived by others and
are understood by many. But as con
tributory influence toward making dynam
10 the forces needed to turn our educa-
tional theories, system and operation
again upon the safe course pricked on the
chart by the great educators Of all the
world, DR.. Buffers words should DC
borne constantly in mind.

Of stock ramblns transactions, and lar0e-
ly sacrificed thereby, another and even
more ASTOUNDING act Of similar dishonesty

stance was an assistant treasurer Of the
Hercules Powder Co, and not only did he
sacrifice Liberty Bond securities OF the
company 70 the amount Of 10000, but
sent after them Liberty Bonds to the
value of s21 900. owned by First and Cen

Of which he wss treasurer. His service 70

amply sufficient. Their evil effects Will
