ceedingly popular with the American Tories

their boast that they had killed and captured
more than twice their own number during the

the British, although encouraging the forma-

grant their officers the same privileges az the
British commanders. After the victory at
Saratoga they changed their minds abruptly,
and an order issued that ''His Majesty

pleased to confer upon them the following

A Word as to Education

A Word as to Education
 It is hardly probable that any one would say or take the position that education, in it's broadest sense, units man for living life real and meeting all of life's vicisitudes, yet we see plainly from conversing with men who are now in college, and from reading often of our various educational institutions, that we, as nation, are drifting. Today is a day of specialization, departmental education, so to speak, regime to be deprecated. when carried to the exclusion of high literary train ing, which fact is rapidly develop ing. The tendency is to inculcate the importance of success from a monetary standpoint. Teaching the brain how to direct the hands to do something, particular thing, that will produce revenue,- to use implements, instruments and things specially for production of secular, material things. Our boys are being taught the art of conserv- ing moisture, testing soil, inocula- tion, hybridizing, etc., in one de-
 
 build or make things, i'll another; how to roll pills and make squills, in another, and so on down the list of vacations and professions. We have no aversion to vocational ed ueation, yet we cannot condone the error of doing so to the exclusion of the foundation-the ''bed rock. We see our girls, the mothers of coming generations, being taught the art of home economies, canning, quilting, poultry raising, etc, all good auxiliaries, but not good found ations for coming generations. lg norance begets ignorance, like be- gets like, inevitable, and we are averse to abolishing the main fea- ture of education to give place to vocational training when fraught with danger of retrocession imbicil- Ity, monkey performers, instead of ] nation of stalwarts with a wealth Df literary training, with the abil- ty to deduce Minds impregnated with ideas and from which great .hings are born.
 We recall to mind a man with whom we had daily intercourse who lad specialized to the exclusion of he foundation and while we admit | le was master of his profession and | vas fluent when adhered to in con but with the slightest de- yression he was lost, absolutely l blank. Would he be considered an asset to society.

No power of ex- 1ansion to that broader life that its men for life eternal, but lived l blank and died a blank, leaving 10 oasis to his memory.
 Again we remeber a young. lady,
