The Worth of a Train

r Asst Spring MIR. Edison
A-% asked a few questions of

plied TO him for positions.
Amorg them were these:
Where is Tallahassee?
What /. city in. the United
States leads in making laundry
machines?
What kind of wood 10 used
in making kerosene oil bar
rels?
Few graduates could answer
even a large percentage of Mr..
Edison's questions. Some peo-
Ole thought this proved that the
colleges had been wasting their
line.
Mr.. Edison's questions were
lnnquestionably stimu ulating
Some kirds Of ignorance estab-
lish a presumption of unhtness.
But one could scarcely wish to
make the mind a substitute for
the encyclopedia.
A student must learn facts
he must learn to reason from
those facts with thoroughneSs
and with a sense of intellectual
responsibility; but the greatest
contribution Of the years OF
study in liberal arts is to the
students sense Of values.
We may forget the forrnule
of chemistry, but we can never
forget the significance of the
chemical organization Of mat
Ter, or think as we should think
if we had not known it.
We may forget the dates and
names Of history out we car
rever lose entirely the gift Of
proportion and perspective
which it's Gutlooks bring.
The aifn Of our college train
;ng. in New York University is
10 formulate ard to interpret
the ideals of human life in, the
light Of history and science; to
cultivate in our students an en-
lightened and disciplined imeg-

To do this successfully is to
