SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
BY r. A. WALKER

of the astonishing achievements Of
Madame Curie, the most brilliant
feminine ''man of science" that we
know anything about.
Great schools and great universities
provide no easy or royal road to learn
ing. They give young men chance
to meet others who are interested in
the same subjects. They provide the
emulation" which the philosopher
Francis Bacon regarded as so impor-
tant.
But 1t remains for the individual
who has been through the mill Of a
higher education to pick out for him
self the path that he Is to tread.
Systems of education are important
in the case of the average man. but
of slight Importance in that of the
man Of genius or great talent.
Shakespeare and Lincoln were self
taught and they will go on teaching
the world as long as their writings re-
main as models for mankind.
What would the author of the
Gettysburg Speech have said If he
had been told that reproductions Of
the Gettysburg Speech would be hung
up in the College Of Oxford as an
example Of English prose at its best ?

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"a CERTAIN PARTY"

6u 0W do you know that that is
II so?" "A certain party told
me-"
The foregoing conversation was
overheard recently. The second
speaker should have said: "a certain
person told me-" not, "a certain
party"
This use of the word party" for
person" is quite common, but it is
condemned by all authorities on Eng
fish grammar as being Incorrect
Some, indeed, so so far as to call 1t
vulgar.
1t should be remembered, however,
that the word party" meaning an
individual. has proper place in Eng
fish. We may speak of "a party to
contract" or "the party Of the first
part" or "the parties to the marriage"
Woolley's Handbook of Composition"
gives the following sentence as an ex-
ample of the correct use of the word /:
1.-THE parties to the marriage were
both young" The following is given
as incorrect: 1.-The party who wrote

Tim did not want at all; he wanted a
big piece Of the company pie.
The night of the party Tim went TO
bed early, as all little squirrels should
do, but he did not go to sleep. Instead
he stole down the back stairs and into
the pantry and jumped up on the shelf
where the big pie stood.
He did not cut the pie; he nibbled
at the undercrust until he had hole
made big enough for him to get inside
and then he began to eat. He had not
eaten very much, though, before he
heard sound-some one was coming
and Tim kept very still inside the
pie.

Because the day Is done

AS old as is experience,
AS trite as truth can be,
This lesson known to every sense

And yet tale we must repeat

For men who see the sun retreat
Forget there Is an East.
In sorrows winter men forget,
In troubles hour OF night,
That spring shall come returning yet,
To life the morning light.

ROSALIE.

ID oSALIE and Rose appear to be of
N the same general root, the more
euphonious name of Rosalie being a
French EXTINCTION. A curious point is
that the color rose Is irrevocably as
ISOLATED with the name Rosalie, as
we'll as Rose.
The history Of the name Resale is
most interesting. 1t first was given
to fair women of France and II was
there that st. Dominic arranged a
series Of devotions by means of tell
ing beads upon string These formed
the rOsarium. or rose garden, or freely
translated, delights Of devotion. The
Rosarium has a day to itself In the
Roman calendar and may possibly
have named the transatlantic Saint
Rose di LUNA, which gave rise to Ro-
sta Switzerland calls her Rosel and
France Rosine or Rosette. In Eng
land she is Rosanne, sometimes Rosa
bella, meaning beautiful rose" From
Italy comes Rosina and Rosetta. A
more rare, but no less charming inter-
probation Is Rosealba, signifying
white rose"
| There are red roses and white roses
and yellow roses In nature, yet the
real rose Is the deep pink and the
bearer Of the name or any of its de-
rivatives should surround herself with
the flowers If she would wish the
psychic atmosphere which their quail
ity insures. Her jewel is that rare
beautiful gem, the flame-hearted ruby.
1t denotes pride and haughtiness and
appoints Tuesday as the fortunate day
for it's wearer and three the lucky
number. ~

HOW CAN A MAN LEARN?

Mr.. GARRETT p. SERvISS, who
lN1 made himself out of a newspa-
per man into scientist, tells how he
recently received 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 as
"uneducated" made the curious re-
mark, Il have found that 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 educationY 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 n
solitary investigator and thinker.
Thomas Henry Hanley had to
abandon his university work and earn
his living after he 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 1t 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
