FINANCIAL VALUE OF EDUCATION.
In the long ago there was
chiefly one end to > education;
this was for its cultural value.
It was thought that education
was by no means of a financial
value to man. No man was con-
sidered a real man unless he was
a cultured man. The Grecians
were practically all orators.
Such was even the case in the

So the bright young man sat him-
self down and ate up the six best sell- j
ers of the. commercial library. They |
told him how to do business in every
way known to tbe gods of'supply and
demand, and they plainly showed him

Morning Glory.
War*, when it was realized that
there was another and far more
important value of education
than that of which they had
hitherto been making use.
The chief purpose of education
was to train and develop memory
and reflection, reason and imagi-
nation; and the sytem well ser-
ved the purpose for which it was
intended. Probably no better
system could be devised for the
education of lawyers, ministers
and statesmen. Its mouldering
forces gave to the old South her
greatest of orators, statesmen,
ministers and patriots.
But with all its merits that
system was illy adapted to the
promotion of industries and
scientific agriculture. It built
no mills, no factories, it installed
no spindles, no looms, no fur-
Now we have . railroads
.through every important city in
the South connecting them with
each other and with the sea.
Though with these, some of the
same products sold into other
manufacturing centers are
bought back by Texas at frqm 5
to 10 times as much as she sold
them for.
We have good harbors and
canals by whitdi water routes are
shortened. Such is the case
with the Panama canal. Why is
so much time, money and labor
being spent on such an under-
taking? Years ago France un-
dertook to dig the same canal.
She failed. But now that educa-
there ahead of time.
So the bright young man read these
helps to prosperity forward and back 1
and down the- middle.
One day he met his friend.
. ,“Hello,” he said; “I’ve got all the j
success dope I can carry and don’t
intend to shake down for any more.” j
“Good,” said the friend. “I .suppose
you’ll he right back in business
again?”
“Nothing doing,’.’ laughed the bright ?
young man. .“I’ve got something bet-
ter on hand than that.”
“But aren’t you going to apply the
principles you have just absorbed?”
“Yes, yes.”
“By working?” j
“No, by lecturflag!”

The Real Story.
Anciently there lived a certain man i
by the name of George, who was much
pestered by a dragon. . :
The dragon's colors were never
twice alike, and by that the creature
got on George’s nerves in a particu-.!
lar manner. ,v. ’• \ . . ' . t
At length' George fell to thinking,
and the very next time he was asked
what he would have he replied:
‘■‘Never again!”
Moreover, he stuck to it.
“St. George!*’ sniffed his boon com-
panions ironically. . . .i
But posterity spoke of him without
irony, remembering only that he had,
by the exercise of a superb courage,
slain the dragon, v '
