REpAR1EE WITHOUT A STING
Celebrated Retorts That Have Been
Considered as the Very Best
of Their Kind.

It was Sir Francis Burnand who
made the celebrated retort about
Punch. Some one said to MN:
punch is not what it used to be-"
Burnand brilliantly replied: 1T never

that the one amusement of Burton

witty encounters of Oxford bargees.
Cardinal Bourne once talked with an
American, who boosted that the MIS-
sissippi was a finer river than the
Thames. He descanted on its super

was only a sickly stream" 10 TINS
the cardinal very cleverIy replied :

mistake, he would rectify it tellcl

GREATER INTEREST IN
LEARNING is MANIFEST
More Persons Seek College Degrees
And Libraries Show Greater
Patronage.

WASHINGTON by Mail With the
coming of September and the opening
Of schools and colleges for the fall and
winter terms, the same keen interes, in
the acquiring Of an education which has
manifested itself each year since the
war, according to information reaching
Washington, is again in evidence. As
adding to the interest in the number and
character of the institutions Of learning
among which prospective students may
take their choice, the announcement of
plans for converting several abandoned
army camps into schools for the use of
soldiers and sailors is attracting wide
attention.
Coincident with this enthusiasm for
education is the development of interest
by the American public in libraries. 1t
has been pointed out that from being
the luxury Of the privileged few the
power to read has become the necessary
tool Of the many" the school accomplish.
ing nothing more significant than 10 put
our people into possession of this tool.
The schools Of the country today are
costing about $1,000, 100000 per year, or
about ten dollars per capita. according
10 School and Society" while but about
twenty millions is devoted 10 Libraries.
Due to the efforts Of the American Ii
brary Association brighter day for the
public library is al hand. the efforts Of
this association being devoted 10 the es-
tablishment Of libraries through legisla-
tion, principally. and through other chan
nels. incidentally. Suggesting that the
school and college only begin the educa-
iion Of the individual, the point also is
made by School and Society" that the
billion now spent for the schools as
against twenty millions for libraries
means. in effect, ten dollars per capita
10 lay the foundation and twenty cents
TO build the superstructure.
