DOES EDUCATIONP AY

Schools and colleges do not educate
men, they merely make it possible and
convenient for men to educate them
selves.
Men have become educated without
ever entering a school or a college,
and men have gone through all kinds
of schools and colleges, making the
grades, passing the examinations,
receiving the diplomas and degrees,
without becoming educated.
Let this fact speak for itself. Let
it sink m deep. 1t is the big OUT
standing fact of history, and it means
much.
The school, r college, is opportun-
ity; that, and no more. It is not q
mill TO grind out perfect human be-
ings, to convert ne'er-do=wells into
Solomons, but it is the door, the prac-
teal, common sense way, TO enter the
field of learning.
One can learn all that a school on
college offers on the outside, but il
will be harder, and much harder, and
it ~discourages 500 out Of every thou
sand.
One can GO to school or collegs
and get nothing, but rnsts too, is ex-
eeptional.
The school and college are here, n01
becaasex e~ducxkion Is barred to skhs
few without them, bat because Il
would be barred 70 the many.

THE WAYS OF A HUSBAND

This time Jim plunged into an
account of affairs at his office,
and just as was getting ready
to tease him about his lack of re-
turn courtesy, he asked:
"Have a pretty strenuous day

"Just busy" / replied.
"You looked SO tired when you

course you came right back to

SO tagged and drawn-looking.
