Educators, lii'twcen the elos

cuss " Whu t is education? What
should do J How can we form
the ycn:iir men?" etc.
Educators should start with
the meaning of the word "edu
cate," and stick to it. It means
"to lead out," to bring out the
youthful mind and' the caic
ity which is in it. It does not
mean to force the opinions of
teachers on that youthful mind.

Dealing with raw materials,
science and industry "educate"
those materials by bringing out
the best that is In thein.
They seek for hardness in
steel, fur resiliency and wear
in rubber. They don't try to
make rubber of steel, or steel
of the rubber. Hut that is ex
actly the process applied to
many young minds. '
And for that reason, in read
ing the biographies' of many
successful men, you find that
their first proof of real ability
was ability to evade the pro
cess of education.
And their greatest good for
tune was an irregular education
or none.
A great gasoline price war
seems -probable. Small retail
ers on llitJ'acificCoast are cry
ing for government help, ac
cusing big oil men of "unfair
1'Hec cutting."
Recently the big men were
licensing little men of ruining
the industry, and wasting the
nation's oil supply.
Al this moment, the world
has too much oil, ton much gas
oline, ami, in consequence, reck
less waste.
I'resrntly will come a short
age. Those I hat now read, in
some places, I he signs, "Claso
line 1(1 mils, plus 2 cents tax,"
may read, "(insolinc fid cents,
plus 2 cents tax."
It would seem almost a case
to jut-lily government regula
tion, ni-ly that, probably, would
be "bi Ishevisin."
'Twenty-five thousand pupils
in 274 liible schools are to be
taught "the evils of liquor" and
the desirability of leaving whis
key alone, quite apart from pro
hibition. '
