EDI.SOX says oollfge lucu re amazingly ignorant. 1 They arc. So tire non-collegi; men. The great inventors' error li'-s in his Apparent assumption that yoiiiii men are sent to college to liave their ininils stored with miscellaneous acts. Not at all. If that were the idea, a great deal of time and money would he saved by presenting the high school graduate with an Kneyclopedia. and have hiin devote four years to the mastery of it. Colleges are designed for the training of minds and character. The young man who leaves college with a lietter mind and a better character than when he entered it. justifies his college education!!, lie may or may not have a head full of facts, depending largely upon the courses he hits elected, or tile sort of head he possesses. Hut if he is in a position to secure facts when he wants them, and has p. mind that can properly digest them when he needs them, he may. not be able to answer 411 per cent of Mr. Kdison's questions and still be far from an ignorant man. Obs.-rve Henry Kord. lie is a great friend of Mr. Kdison's. ami he never went to college. Yet Mr. Kdison-would never consider him an ignorant man. Why.' Because he knows a great deal about the things in. which Mr. Kdison is interested, because he has a well train ed mind, original, resourceful, keen, and a character in which there is much shrewd common sence and a great deal of plain kindliness. And yet Mr. Ford showed conclusively on the witness stand, that from the- standpoint of the man of culture, he is an amazingly ignor ant man. lie knows little about anything but mechanics. He might be able to answer all of J-Misons questions, but he couldn't answer ten per cent of the elementary questions, proposed by a high school in structor of history or fine arts. So ignorance becomes a relative term. American men as a whole hit amazingly ignorant, form I lie standpoint of any specialist, for American men are notoriously superficial, and America is passing through a commercial rather than an intellectual age. Hut college men as a whole are no more ignorant, in fact are less ignorant titan men who have never been to college. There is no one road to enlightenment. Men like Ford and Kdi son "arrive" without, a college education, men like Roosevelt and AVilson arrive with it; (,'ollege ruins some.iien, just, as practical life ruins others, but nunc of these examples jusl ify broad dogmatic as. sertions, eil her for or against academic education. College repre sents mi opportunity, and like all oilier opportunities. I lie ultimate result depends upon the sort of stuff there is in the individual.

AI.TNOl'dll we've long been clasping the snowy flag of peace. I lie world is sick and gasping, and horrors never cease, Sad (ales of famine reach us from ninny stricken lands, for aid the starved beseech us, and raise despairing hands. Hy many mi an "cient river, on many a palmy plain, the people ask for liver, and ask fjir it in vain. And there is endless plotting, and there are ceaseless strikes;' the I'eies nro always swatting anil being slugged by Mikes. And ousted kings are planning lo try another throw, forgetful of the canning they got some lime ago. And nations are pursuing old paths, with martial brags, and governments arr. chewing all kinds of futile rags. The (iermans, still denying the justice of tlieir debt, are evidently trying to welch on every bet. The Muss slill raises thunder, the Greeks scrap with the Turks; the world is rent asunder, there's carbon in its works. The worlc, is shot to pieces, it's record's "M f crimps, as I have told my nieces a hundred thousand times.
