Our Idea of An
Educated Person

The following was quoted in the
Lincoln Memorial School Bulletin.
"HOW ARE YOU EDUCATED2"
A professor of the University of
Chicago once told his students he
could consider them educated in
the best sense of the word when
they could say Eyes" to every one
of the questions that be should put
to them. The following were the
questions that he desired them to
be able to answer in the affirmative
Has education given you sympa-
thy with all the good causes that
made you espouse themP y.
Has it made you public spirited
Has it made you brother to the
weak2
Have you learned how to make
friends and how to keep them?
Do you know what it is to be a
friend to yourself?
/ Can you look an honest man. Of
pure woman in the eyer
Do you see anything to love in
a little child?
Will u lonely dog follow you in
the street?
Can you be high-minded and
happy in the meanest drudgeries
Of lifep
Do you think washing dishes
and hoeiDg corn just as eompatti-
BILE with high thinking as piano
playing or golf?
Are you good for anything your.

Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world
and see anything but dollars and
cents?
Can you look into mud puddle9

School Notes.

We have just given out the
heavy plays and some interesting
lesser matter for the pupils to have
parts in the commencement exer.
cises; the pupils cooperation and
interest in these things that always
furnish a little more variety at
closes the teachers will have, as
they always do, the heavy part in
this connection in way of training
and general oversight; but teach.
ers are accustomed to a life of sac.
rifice. -...
They do not even have time to
answer the knocking Of some enemy
of the school and general progress;
a man who sends his children as
little as he can, who closes his
eyes to any kind of propriety and
scathingly delivers himself as only
such an ignoramus can.
Twenty three years since the

Miss Tilda Adsmond, who has

kind; they are generous enough to
understand that little mistakes will
be made in the varied and heavy
duties of the teacher who has al.
ways made such sacrifice to build
good and useful character. 1t will
be the purpose of the teachers to
direct the little charges toward
paying the expenses of the COM
mencement and to admit free those
who have extra expense in prepar-
ing children for parts in the exer-
cises; they always do this; what is
left will go to the school, of course
and will be made an open matter as
to items for the patrons.
We are in different atmosphere
from organiznd labor; labor works
with inert materials; teachers with
impressionable human nature; labor
seeks a standardized product, teach
-ers, the development of initiative.
and originality; the methods of
labor are static; those of the teach
er, dynamic. The laborer is an
artisan, the teacher, and artist. An
slliance betv cen them is an unnat
ural alliance. So l conclude that
teachers never can unite with labor
organizations; contrary to the ma
ture of things.
