BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Irust ia the Lord, ami do good; so shalt thou dwell in the
land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Psalms 37:3.
A Colossal Waste
Nothing is appreciated unless it is earned. When anything
is made easy, interest soon lapses. That which comes without
effort is seldom valued. It is the struggle to acquire that
gives life its zest, and makes anything worth while.
These rather trite truisms probably explain why higher
education today fails to educate that is it fails to make the
recipients think, or if they do think, makes them think
alike destroying originality. Education can be obtained
without serious effort or struggle or sacrifice and therefore
is unappreciated.
We have built up huge higher educational institutions at
taxpayers expense, on the paternalistic theory that the state
should do for the adult what it does for children, provide
them with every possible advantage in the way of educational
frills, book and technical learning without cost to or reciprocal
effort upon the student's part.
I Ho great increase in attendance resulting, an increase
artificially stimulated by careful campaigns and persistent
propaganda on the part of already overcrowded state institu
tions, each branch of which competes with every other
branch, and each institution with the other, has forced
revolution in educational methods along lines of quantity
production. The factory methods of Henry Ford are utilized.
The individual is submerged in the mass, standardized, and
meciiaiuzeu. f.acn instructor working under tension, aucls a
bolt or a nut as the student passes on the moving educational
belt, until an immense amount of unassimilated knowledge
and useless rubbage is assembled and labelled an education by
S. commercialized institution.
Along with the fallacy that all men are created equal,
when no two are, we have imbibed that other illusion of
democracy that education is synonymous with intelligence,
and all that is necessary is to fill a fifth-rate mind with text
book stuff to raise it to first class. So we tax ourselves to
the limit to cram morons with book-learning on the theory
that we are making silk purses out of sows ears, spoiling
thereby good laborers and mechanics, fine hewers of wood
and drawers of water, to make poor parasites for the profes
sions and pitiful failures with aspirations absurdly out of
proportion to ability.
Higher education as we know it today, is a colossal waste,
waste of lime, of energy, of money that might be far better
spent in other ways and probably does more harm than good,
creating discontent, dissatisfaction and unrest among the
unfit. It is questionable whether the country is really better
off for those who seek knowledge always find it and the self
taught is better taught Hum the factory product. It has not
made for improved citizenship or higher standards. With
more education there is more bigotry, more fanaticism, more
in)iil(i-;iiw'i' morn rei'iilalion. more interference, more
nnlprnalisni. and less democracy, less liberty and less reason
than in the nation's history. The more educated we become,
the worse off we are as a nation, for the fewer thinkers we
develop despite the increase in population.

My Ma trmoniAl
Vacation by Violet Dare
taxuijo tiuu:ais
I snid that I would, and took the
unto she gave me, wondering If
this particular matrimonial tangle
was going to straighten itself out
immediately and hoping that it
would!
I was grateful to Nathalie for ap
predating my help In getting her
out o the tangle in which her Jilt
ing for Phil Lelund had led her.
but in helping her I had got my
self into a tannic almost iia bad.
Nancy." she said to me, as we
walked through the park. "Tell me
did my husband really put a de
tective on Phil Iceland's trail, sua-
pecting blackmail? Becau.se, iC lie
did "
She didn't finf.sn the sentence,
but she didn't have to. I know that
she was going to say "If ho dill, he
Htill cares for me." Ami I knew
too thai if ahc thuuglit lie earod
for her she would forgive nil tho
things he had done to hurt her
his going around Willi other wo
men, and neglecting .her, huinlliut
ing her by letting everyone see
how little ho cared whether she
was hurt or not.
And because I was determined
patch up that marriage, once
more I told n white lie.
Of course lie did," I said. "Ho
heard that I was a friend of yours
ind came to me about it, and I
told him that everything could be
straightened out very quietly."
Then you saw him. Tell mo.
Nancy, how does he look? Is ho
well? You see, since he and I de
cided to separate, and I wont to
.Mother's to live, I haven't seen him
And of course I wonder about
him." i
"Of cour.se you do!" I agreed, '
And without saying anything to
very
few
"But
her about it, I r solved that I
would manage to have them meet
I wished that my own matrlnion-
Jnl affairs were as easy to straight
en out a other people's promised
to be!
I readied home to find a mes
sage from Nick, nuking me tu
phone him. When I talked with
him, ho wanted me to have tea with
him that afternoon.
".My wife wants me to dine with
her this evening," lie told me
gloomily, when I met him at half
past four.
"How delightful! That's ;
good sign, isn't It?"
'I'd have thought ho r
weeks ago," he answered
now well, I'm not so sure."
'You're like everyone else n
soon as you get what you want
you don't want it," I exclaimed
Don t bo absurd. Of course you
want to dine with her."
"But well, since I've known
you "
Having him think he cared for
me was no part of my program.
When I first went to New York to
live, after my husband had gone
off to the other side of the world
without caring what became of me,
I was ready to amuse myself nt
everybody's expense. Having a
handsome young chap like Nick In
love with me would have suited me
perfectly.
But now I didn't care for that
program at all. I wanted to send
Nick straight back to his wife,
even though she had divorced
him.
"Since you've known me, you've
found out, I hope, that I'm in love
with my husband," I said, looking
off over his head into tho distance
"People, don't even suspect it until
they know mo really well, and be
gin to understand me. But you're
ho sympathetic that of courso
you've realized It.' '
Nick stared at in as If ho
thought I'd gone out of my senses.
"But I didn't even know that
you had a husband till I'd known
you quite a while," ho protested.
"I thought you were Miss Larra
hee, instead of Mrs."
"Yes, I know that I shouldn't
have let you think so, of course;
you must forgive me I didn't
mean to deceive you "
"Oh, that was all right don't
feel bad about it; I er want to
dance?"
How many .situations those three
words have saved! And how ab
surd It Is that when two people
reach a moment when they can't
talk, they can go dancing oft', with
tho man's arm around tho girl.
and not think anything about It!
I hid a dinner engagement, and
wanted to go homo early, but I
stayed with Nick until he promised
mo that he'd dine with his wife.
"Though I don't see why she
wants me," he protested. "She
rushed off to Paris and got a di
vorce, saying that she didn't care
anything about mo, and now hero
she is, writing me and 'phoning me
and urging me to come to seo her."
"Didn't I tell you that she would
realize alter she saw you with me
that she cared for you?" I remind
ed him.
I dined with Frank Harrison
who, to my delight, kept telling
me what a fine woman my mother
was. Kvidently my little plan to
interest him in her instead of In
mo was working beautifully.
. We went to the theater, and then
home. On the way we drove past
the apartment house where Nath
alie Jordan lived, in her mother's
apartment.
And as I glanced out, I saw a
man opening the big front door
downstairs. It was her husband!
