THE MEASURE OF EDUCATION
(From the Dearborn independently


The real standard of education is usefulness
nothing more. You don't read Plato just for
the satisfaction of being able to say so you read
him because he is going to contribute something
to your mental equipment which, in turn, you
will apply to the practical problems of your own
life and time.
If man were shut in room filled with books
containing all 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 nail and 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 that matters Any study that is
idle and adds nothing to a mans stock in trade
for his work is wasted study When a youth
completes his course of study, whether at uni
versity or technical school or shop, he has had
his chance to SOW his seed the fruits of that seed
will be his success in lfe plus the attention that
any good crop demands, which means work. But
when he steps out into the world all the education
he has garnered must be directed toward his
personal productiveness, whether with brain or
hand

ing out his life; if he has waste parts on that
machine he has wasted his time putting them
there; if it is just pretty machine but doesn't
make anything, he has wasted all his time; if he
has built a simple but useful machine and has
learned to make the other parts he needs as they
become wanted, he should make good job of
himself and his life.~
The man who knows a little and knows that
little well is generally more useful to his fellow
! men than the man who has smattering of al
tongues and arts, but can practise none of them
: Mere learning means nothing; the application
of it is everything.

versities should devote the first two years Of tn

Lear's Descendants in Play.

King Iear's descendants are the
subjects Of a new play in verse that
is being produced in a lavish style IN
Berlin. The production is being well
received. "Gonya. Granddaughter OF
King Lear" is the title, and Carl
Leyst, well-known German his
torian, philosopher, inventor and dra-
matist, is the author. The plot is
that King Lear has left the throne to
the daughter of his favorite, Cordelia,
on condition that the young girl never
look with favor upon a man whose
birth renders him unfit to be her
legal consort. Gonya, young ana
beautiful, is fascinated by one COM
pletely unworthy of her, and becomes
the mother of a child. To keep the
secret from the people the child must
die. Gonya kills it herself in despera.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

+ s =. h
VoU have heard much about
the sun.bath and about the
effects Of sunlight on the body.
You may even have gone to the
extent Of exposing your body for
q. time to the suns rays. IL you
have. the probabilities are that
you have felt disappointed. This
il not to be taken AZ evidence
against a sun-bath, but against
your method Of taking It.
A sun-bath Is the best thing
possible for nearly everyone, but
only IL it is just right and not
excessive.
Familiarity should not be
allowed to make us forget how
powerful an agent the sun il,
and we should be constantly on
our guard against over-exposure.
This il especially true IL we are
weakly and i'll, run down or suf-
fering from any poisoning condi-
ton such as an infectious Illness.
Aged and Ill people and very
young and ailing children are apt
to take harm from long glln-baths
until they get well used to them.
They are all capable Of deriving
great benefit from the sun, but
only in very carefully measured
doses. The rules for them are
quite different from those for
young. healthy people.
Everyone knows the dangers Of
heat and Of slnstroke in hot cli-
mates, but few realize that exces.
sive sunburn can be almost as
great q danger. The sun Is q
powerful stimulant. but there il
a limit to the action Of every
stimulant. The body can stand
just so much stimulant and no
more. and when every cell ID

ity any more sun depresses and
sickens. Moreover, every sunburn

But that is enough for the time
about the danger of sun treat
ment. Let us now consider the
way In which 1t actually does its
works. on the body. Sunlight
works in three ways--on the
mind, on the surface of the body
and on the tissues below the sur
face right down to its deepest
and most hidden reCSes.
On the mind it has a powerful
tonic effect. It exhilarates and
enlivens, 1t induces gaiety, live
liness and well-being, it banishes
gloom and depression. Not only
does it increase yiyacity, but by
nberating the latent powers Of
the mind it raises the mental
capacity. Children exposed to
sunlight are found by mental
tests to be a year older in intelli-
gence than exactly similar chill
dren who are not getting this
splendid tonic.
The headmaster Of q sunlight

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE

KNOW Your Man!


NET your man. may be the
" slogan Of the modern girl;
but KNOW your man. is the
first rule Of the love-gaine.
Because II you KNOW him,
you cannot only get him, but you
can hold onto him. Which is
q. far more difficult feat in these
days, when every little gold-dig
ger has her lasso out for every
other woman's sweetheart or
husband, and every man has a
secret suspicion that he is Gods
gift to women"
Every man is q brand new
study in psychology; and once
you marry one Of them, you will
discover that all the others were
merely kindergarten practice.
Some men have to be coaxed
with sugar and apples and fiat
terry and coddling. They never
actually discover that they are
In love, until they wake up some
morning and suddenly find that
all the httle acts Of sympathy
and thoughtfuIness and devotion
with which a woman has sur
rounded them and lulled their
caution to rest, are absolutely
NECESSARY to them!
Nobody 10 so astonished az q
man who discovers that some
one woman has gotten into his
imagination, and that he Is
DEPENDENT upon her for
everything, from understanding
and companionship to home-cook-
ing and the bi-carbonater Of soda!
~ y
Another kind Of a man must be
hunted down and held up. He
simply CANNOT be coaxed, or
flattered or appealed. to. A girl
might weep on his shoulder all
evening without moving himex
cept to move him toward the door.
But, once she looks him in the
eye, and calmly TELLS him that
he loves her, that they are going
to be married, and that everything
IL settled, he viii meekly accept
her ultimatun1, and follow her to
the altar like Mary's little lamb.
What he has been waiting for is
a command-and he will obey it
like q good little soldier! He needs
q COMMANDER!
Still another kind of man must
be blindfolded and BACKED into
the shafts of natrimony when he
cant see where he is going Per-
versity is his ruling passion and
obstinacy is his middle name. The
only way to hold him is to hold
him OFF; and the only way to
catch him is to pretend to run
away from him!

Telling him that you are hope.

or that your heart is in the grave,

something difficult and elusive,
something to conquer and to
TAME game, q fight or q
chase.
And by the method with which
he was won must every man be
