THE PUMPKIN

Long ago when vegetables were scarce, even in summer, and
not to be had at all in winter, the pumpkin was put to extraor-
binary diversified uses. With it New England housewives made
pumpkin bread, now a lost art. In her journal Nine. Knight
wrote of eating Frost beef and pumpkin sauce for supper" at
Stonington in 1904. And then pumpkin was also used in the
making of beer, custards, molasses, vinegar and pies. Small
wonder the early New Englanders, as it is related in Peters
General History of Connecticut, considered the pumpkin zone of
the greatest blessings and held very sacred in New England"
Since earliest Colonial days the pumpkin has been the
honely symbol in America of that season of mellow fruitfulness
that separates summer from winter. Although its name is of
French origin the pumpkin has become an institution typicaly
American. The etymology of the word can be traced from the
French pompon in use before the colonization of America, thru
the stages of pompion and pumpion to pumpkin. And except in
print and among precise speakers one today will encounter the
coHoquial "punkin' oftener than the literary pumpkin"
This generation has known the pumpkin more as a symbol
OF the harvest season than as the vegetable of all uses. Pump
KIN Is still popular, and not only because it is a substitute for
what the Puritan Blue Laws styled anti Christian minced pies"
but other than that their only use is for Halloween jack-olan-
terms and dairy fodder. Every year the production exceeds the
consumption in spite of the discovery by some that the pumpkin
can be used to advantage by those who find themselves between
the eighteenth amendment and the bootleggers.

THE MEASURE OF EDUCATION

The real standard of education is usefulness; nothing more.
You don't read Plato just for the satisfaction of being able to
sly SO; you read him because he is going to contribute some
thing to your mental equipment which, in turn, you will apply
To the problems of your own life and time.
If a man were shut in a room filed with books containing
MI the wisdom of the world, and lived long enough to absorb
them all, and died there, he might be the wisest man in the
world, but he would also be the most useless; if, instead, he had
learned only how to drive a nail, and had spent his life driving
nails in building new homes, he would have been turning his
knowledge to useful ends, and contributing something to his
fellows.
1t isn't what we know; it's what we do with our knowledge.
Any study that is idle and adds nothing to a mans stock in
trade for his life work is wasted study. When a youth COM
paetes his course of study, whether at a university or technical
school o shop, he has had his chance to SOW his seed; the fruits
Oh that seed will be his success in life, plus the attention that any
good crop demands, which means work. But when he steps out
lnlo the world all the education he has garnered must be directed
toward his personal productiveness, whether with brain or hand.
Looking at it in another way. the boy spends his years of
study In constructing, adapting and completing a machine with
winch he purposes working out his life; if he has waste parts
ON that machine, he has wasted his time putting them there:
has wasted all his time; if he has built a simple, but useful ma
chime, and has learned to make the other parts he needs as they
become wanted, he should make a good job of himself and his
Ee-
EznsrsIy more useful to his fellow men than the man who has
n scattering of all tongues and arts, but can practice none Of
them-
Mere learning means nothing; the application of it is every

1t would be an interesting experiment if uniyerstiea should
desOte the first two years of the college course to dispensing
krowiedge and the last two to teaching the students how to use

A man is also judged by the scandal he keeps up with.

Charles D. Walcott.

Charles ID. Walcott, who died in this
city yesterday. was the fourth Amer
lean scientist to head the Smithsonian
Institution established in 1876 under
the will of James Smithson. He had
served for twenty years and his ad'
ministration of that organization was
marked by notab BILE advances in scien-
tific achievements and discoveries. A
heavy loss is suffered in his passing,
and not only by the Smithsonian In
stitution, but by other organizations
of science with which he has been
identified and in which he has served
faithfully and devotedly for the en-
largement of human knowledge and
the utilization of the natural forces for
the benefit of mankind.
The Smithsonian has become recog-
nized as one of the leading institutions
in the world of science. Founded
upon the generous endowment of the
will of an Englishman who unhappily
never saw this country, it has grown
to great stature in the eighty years of
its existence. Four men of differing
scientific inclinations have directed its
work-Henry, physicist; Baird. natu'
ra list: Langley, physicist. and Walcott,
geologist. To Joseph Henry belongs
the credit of organization and direc-
ton in the determination of the pro.
gram of the Institution. He served for
thirty-two wears and laid the founda-
tions broadly and deeply for the in
valuab BILE service to be rendered by the
Smithsonian. Spencer F. Baird sue
ceeded him and for nine years he car
ried on along the established lines, but
with special interest in the develop
ment of the Ash culture of the United
States. Samuel Pierpont Langley was
Secretary for twenty years and during
that time he made vastly important
discoveries that carried forward to the
point of solution the problem or
aerial navigation Charles ID. Waicott,
serving for an equal length of time.
brought forth stores of knowledge re.
Specting the structure oI the ear TIL
and at the same time perfected the
orga nization of the Institution.
DIR. Walcott's career in science was
remarkable for the manner in which
ne gained his insight into and knowl-
edge of the principles of the science
with which his name is conspicuousiy
identified. He was virtually self-edu'
Gated. Gifted with a natural aptitude
for the study of the earth's formation
and development, he pursued his re-
searches indefatigably and in his late
wears he was active in the promotion
of enterprises for researches and dis
coveries that have added intellectually
to the knowledge of mankind. In his
administration OF the Smithsonian In
stitution he was gifted with excep-
tional ability His vision was broad,
his Judgment was accurate and his
service in the field of science was in
defatieable. He was, indeed. an Amer
lean scientist of whom his fellow coun-
trymen were proud and for whose
service they are deeply grateful.
