THE BLUE AND GOLD, '17. sedate young ladies, who were entertaining no less a distinguished personage than the "new minister." "Gee, Skinny," whispered Willie, "did ya see Lucy wink at Sally then? Somethin's goin' ter happen soon." But only Miss Lucy's voice could be heard saying. "Oh, Mr. Brown won't --ou have some of this delicious taffy candy. I heard you say You liked taffy, so I made some especially for you." "Why-er-delighted. My, these are generous pieces. I'll take this one, thank you ;" purred the benevolent man. Tt was never discovered just how it came about, but suddenly man-- disastrous things hapnened at once. There was a terrifying commotion in the dining room. The new minister was standing in the middle of the room vigorously trying to separate a pair of false teeth from a lump of taffy. Miss Lucy had a very serious coughing fit, and she and Sally rushed to the kitchen for water, during which time, the "new minister," Skinny, and Willie took a hurried departure, leaving Sally and Lucy alone with their coughs and blushes. The Value of Education F. PEARCE, '18 The advantages which an educated person has over an uneducated one are very numerous. Aristotle was asked on a certain occasion in what way a trained person is superior to one who has received no training. His reply was, "As different as the living are to the dead." Everyone admits that he should have at least the fundamentals of education. But about further advanced courses there is discussion whether or not it is profitable. During the time spent in high schools and colleges, one is made capable of accomplishing more than if he had been deprived of such education. The mere knowledge acquired in high school is not the .only profit. Besides that, we receive benefits in other important ways. Herbert Spencer has well said, "To prepare us for complete living is the function which education has to discharge." We become trained to work when out in the world, and also trained to the best etiquette and discipline. With the training received in secondary schools and higher institutions of learning. a person is able to specialize in some line of work in which he is talented. Some talents might never be developed did one not attend school. When Samuel Johnson entered Oxford College. some of the instructors stated that they had never seen a freshman of equal attainments in the study of English. Samuel later became an author of a dictionary. During his first days at school, Henry Longfellow was asked by the master towrite a short composition. The young boy asked permission -to leave the building for a few minutes. After a short absence, he returned. with a poem about a neighbor's garden. The excellence of the work astonished the instructor, and the young boy, at that moment, found the work for which he was adapted. The institutions of learning are a means by which those who attend are brought in touch with the best thoughts. Ideas are gained concerning the geography customs, and governments of different countries of the world. This knowledge is gained through reading or through conversation with classmates and members of the facult who are versed or are familiar with many fields. While one is becoming better educated, his happiness in life is increased, for education helps people to enjoy life rather than merely to endure it. His acquired knowledge and the application of it should he a joy. A student's happiness is increased by making acquaintances, when attending school. President Angell stated that one of the great values of attending school is the number of neople with whom one becomes intimate. The friends made during these golden days help one another through the world. One of the greatest values obtained from attending school is that one is trained to work often under trying conditions and to overcome obstacles. What success educated people have achieved has been observed by different colleges. In Appleton's Encyclopaedia
