HOW CAN A MAN LEARN?

MR.. GARRETT r. SERvISS. who
IVA made himself out Of q newspa
per man into scientist, tells how hl
recently received a letter from sec
ton hand on railroad who related
how he had taught himself astronomy
and Latin because he was interested
in the stars and the poet Virgil. -
This man, who described himself al
"uneducated" made the curious re.
mark, II have found that I can learn
anything that gives me pleasure"
That throws bright light on the
whole subject Of education.
At this time of the year when the
universities are turning out their
graduates by the thousands the ques'
ton Of training naturally arises in the
minds Of those who have sons and
daughters to prepare for the future.
Is 1t possible that the case of Mr.
Serviss' section hand, who found In
tellectual salvation for himself, and
by himself, Is no different from that
Of many who had all the advantages
of the higher education?" For their
education only really began when
they left college.
Charles Darwin. the greatest man OF
science of his age. regarded the time
that he had spent at the university as
wasted.
Herbert Spencer was all his life q
solitary Investigator aud thinker.
Thomas Henry Hanley had to
abandon his university work and earn
his living after ne had passed the
first medical examination of the Uni.
versity Of London.
John Tyndall educated himself In
science as member Of the ordinance
survey.
What is the explanation of the
careers of these four distinguished
men? Obviously 1t is this. that they
found it easy. as the section hand did
TO learn anything that gave them
pleasure. Much education is wasted
because men take no pleasure in 1t.
This, too. is surely the explanation
