KEEP SEWING BASKET HANDY
Bedroom, Sewing and Sitting
Rooms as Time Saver.

Keep completely stocked sewing
basket in bedroom, sewing room and
sitting room. In this way I-any quick
stitches can be taken, which would
not have been taken If everything had
TO be hunted up.
In the sitting room basket, keep q
piece of pickup work and when an un-
expected caller comes, this can be
worked on, when one would not feel
at liberty TO take time TO hunt up the
things. Also keep sewing bag ready
with q piece of work and necessary
threads. etc, SO that when you go out
to call or visit there is always some
thing ready TO take with you. This is
a little extra expense to begin with
as it requires four pairs of scissors
and four thimbles, but it amply re
pays in the end in the extra amount
of work done.

She came upon me meath the huddled

She walked beside me in the maze

Her sadness. sadness of wood that

Her smile the sun again.
Her voice was like the whispering OF

Her laughter like the tinkle of a

Her cheeks blushed roses, roses such

Upon the hill.
She was river in thirsty land,

And she was mine, was mine.
SO leave me in the wood little
while;
Here where the grass is greenest
let me lie.
The sun shall bring me once again

The wind her sigh.
Here only do we seem no more apart
In verdant ways beneath the skies

Once only she could bring the forest
near,
In those old days amid the painting
crowd,
Once only she could make the stars

Beyond the cloud.

pressed
To my own soul is her interpreter
In ev'ry wind that wanders east oil

EDUCATION.

THOMAS EDISON. whose ability
L 10 get space on the first page OF
he newspapers has OF late been thor
oughIy demonstrated. announces that
the modern college graduate has no
education at all and that there is no
place In his organization for the ig-
norant.
The trouble with Mr.. Edison is that
he has confused education and knowl-
edge. They are entirely different
things.
You can educate a horse or q dog,
but nobody has yet succeeded in Civ
ing them knowledge.
Mr.. Ford who is a warm friend of
Mr.. Edison. has very little education,
as he proved when questioned under
oath on matters literary and historical,
and yet no one would deny that he
has knowledge.
Mr.. Edison based his judgment of
the college graduate of today on the
answers submitted In response to a
QUESTIONABLE which he prepared as
test for young men eeking employ
ment with him.
Those same young men, even II they
were only average college men, could
have Off-hand prepared q QUESTIONABLE
In answering which Mr. Edison would
have made a miserable failure
1t would be no trick at all for any
well-informed man to write ten ques-
lions 10 which Mr.. Edison could not
furnish 90 per cent technically cor
rect answers.
IL you do not believe il, or If Mr..
Edison does not believe il, try TO write
down without consultation of any
books or seeking information from any
outside source the answers TO these ::
Who was Pllpay?
What and where is the medulla OBJ
longata?
What point on the earth has neither
latitude nor longitude?
OF what nationality was Columbus?
Which is the Oldest of modern re-
llgions?
How many teeth has a dog?
How much does a cubic foot of air
weigh?
Were is the island of Philae?
How many nations has the earth?
What three noted men were contem-
poraries of Noltaire?

tions / naturally chose queries to

queries, certain as TO the accurate an

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
BY r. A. WALKER


To be able To answer all Of those
ten questions correctly, offhand, would
Indicate education, but 1t would not
prove knowledge.
The mind OF the college graduate
when he leaves his alma mater is in
much the same condition as the palate
Of man who has tasted In rapid sue
cessiOn several varieties Of spices.
He is unable to make prompt and
accurate use of what he really pos
sesSes.
To the spice faster all the spices
temporarily taste alike.
To the graduate his information is
conglOmerate mass out of which he,
with great difficulty, picks the fact
which he requires.
Time will restore the accuracy 10
the palate.
Time and application Of the knOwl-
edge will enable the college man to
arrange his mental stOrehouse so that
he knows where things are and how
TO use them.
Mr.. Edison does the college gradu-
ates an injustice when he says they
are uneducated. They are i'm most
cases educated, but they are I'M
trained.
Education you can get in part from
books. Training comes only with ex
perience and practice, in applying edu
cation.
st. Bernard, who was one of the
greatest of ecclesiastics, writing to @
friend, said: Trust to one who has
had experience. Stones and trees will
teach you what you will never learn
from the masters"
And Shakespeare, who had perhaps
read what st. Bernard wrote. put
these lines in "As You Like It."
"And this our life, exempt from
public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the
running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every
thing"

Every precautiOn should be taken

The skin of the face is extremely
sensitive and, if any dirt is allowed
TO remain in the brush. it will lodge
in the tiny pores of the skin. Blem-

months to heal After thoroughly
washing brushes they should be
