rtpHO.MAS A. 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.

THE SICK WORLD.
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. I weep when I am reading the
daily grist of news; the world is sick and bleeding, and Peace is
full of booze. ... . '
