GETTING AN EDUCATION

There are two ways of getting a college education. One is to get it in college. The other is to obtain it from those who have been to college and have put their culture into print. The latter course is open to any one who will take it, on the farm br elsewhere. It does not give all the benefits o£ going to college, but it confers some that are not to be obtained there.

The great books of the language have been written by greater men than one is likely to find in any college faculty. The ability to work alone, and do it successfully, is in itself about all that the best college can hope to give by education, —Country Gentleman.
