Who is Educated? Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler submits the following six points as the. distinctive, marks of an educated man: First, correctness and precision in the use of the mother tongue. Second, refined and gentle manners, which are the expression of fixed habits of. thought and conduct. Third, sound standards of feeling and appreciation. Fourth, the power of reflection. Fifth, the power of growth. Sixth, the ability to act efficiently without Nervous agitation. His standard does not include, as a prerequis ite attendance at a college or the holding of a degree from an institution of higher learning. Perhaps, he assumes that his six marks are unattainable without scholastic training. Be that as it may, it is a common observation that erudition is not the only test of education. Many a man who has had no collegiate training is nevertheless the peer of many who have framed sheepskins. The advantage of education lies not in the abstract knowledge which one absorbs in college, but in the ability to apply a trained brain to the

practical things of life. If scholastic training

succeeds in making a man wise, it accomplished

its purpose, for it enables him to apply practic

ally the knowledge he learned.

Therein lies the advantage of collegiate train

ing. That this advantage is not a superficial

one, or one barren of results, is proved by the tremendous influx of young men and women into our educational institutions this year. Never in the history of the United States have so many been matriculated. Hardly an institution that is

not SQrely pressed for classrooms and for teachers to take carg of the young men and women who are thirsty for knowledge. Surely, they would not be rushing to the institutions of high, er learning if they were pot convinced that a college education pays handsomely in the long run. It is notieable that Dr. Butler places cor, rectness and precision in the us of the mother tongue' aa the first' requisite of a truly educated person. One need not go to college to acquire this accomplishment. The best place to learn it is at home. If parents avoid slang, eliminate loose construction, and speak correct English the children will easily absorb the rudiments of proper usage. If this were done, teachers would not be compelled to devote many hours to the task of eliminating expressions such as "them are no good," "I don't want no candy," etc The habit of using correctly the mother tongue should be inculcated at home by precept and example. Gentility of manner and sound standards of feeling and appreciation also are attainments that can be acquired at home. The home is the place to teach refinement and culture that mature into appreciation of the good and beautiful and manifest themselves in proper conduct and lofty bearing. The power of reflection and of growth are accomplishments, which, if taught at home and developed in school and college, give to the man and woman an undeniable ability to forge ahead. In this particular, all of us have much to learn. Calm reflection, from which emanates balanced judgment, is something In which many of us are woefully deficient. We jump at conclusions without testing facts, arid pass judgment without investigating evidence. We are prone to accept any theory or program of conduct and action that has an alluring appeal. Too often we

rush pell-mell into an enterprise without exam

ining its details carefully or estimating what its ultimate conclusions may be. Efficient action without nervous agitation also is a lesson we may learn with profit to ourselves. Efficiency does not imply the necessity of a ballyhoo shouter to advertise its presence.

Neither does it come by way of denunciation of

everything that has preceded it. It is the out

come of thought, of study, of reflection. It is

the result of careful analysis, of painstaking

synthesis, of mature deliberation.

Answers to Questions

R. L. W. Can a resident of the Dis trlct of Columbia, vote '-Residents, of the District of Columbia have no vote, The district was established as the seat of the United States government by acts of eongress ie 179a and 1791. Until 1871 there were three govern ments in the district, Georgetown under a mayor and city council, the part originally laid out as the city pf Washington under commissioners, and the remainder of the district under the "Justices of the Levy Court", These three governments were abolished June 1, 1871, and the whole district was placed under a territorial form of government entitled the "District of Columbia." with a governor, a council, a house of delegates, a secretary and boards of health and public works. This form of government was abolished by congress, June 0, 1874, and a temporary government, consisting of three commissioners appointed by the president, was organized in its place.

This government continued until Julyi

1, 1878, when, by an act of congress, approved June 11 the same year, it

was succeeded by the present perma

nent form of municipal government, in which the principal executive power Is vested in a board of three commissioners appointed by the president.

PUBLIC SERVICE. All over the country there are significant signs that blaze their message thru the night. They are always on the job. And this is the main statement that their electric bulbs carry: PUBLIC SERVICE! In addition to these two words, many cf the signs say: "Light and Power." I never see one of these signs but what I say that I would like to have a sign like that right over my heart Where everybody could see it. PUBLIC SERVICE Light and Power! What a wonderful lot of people we

would all be if we would each immediately be recognized as contributors to the world public servants with light and power in our hearts and. minds free to all who might desire of us! We can never render too much service. Wo can never give too much light in a world that gets very dark at times. "We ought to be glad to distribute what jiower we pcssessHhat the weak may learn and grow. Our little lives are much like the incandescent electric lights which burn In our homes each night. So that it is very important that we Iceep the bulbs of our greatest selves ever new ready to gleam light across dark paths for unsteady feet and inspire power in hearts that ache!

GEORGE THE GREAT This George of England is a king whose ways are most endearing, for jiow he kicks like everything at greedy profiteering. Some time ago Queen Mary said. "I've through the palace capered, and certain rooms jieed painting red, the walls should ie ropauered. Most any time some royal nobs may come around weekending, and they would think that shift less swabs to housework were attending." Said George, whose head hetran to throb, "If you'll but cease

your clangors, I'll have the lord high thingumbob call in the paperhangers." The honest British workmen came, prepared to paint and puttv; thoy named the wages they would claim, and George said. "You are nutty; there is no sense in such a price as you are now demanding; to you a pitcher full of ice, with royal grace. I'm handing. Because some thriftless kings have flung the coin with zeal distressing, you think that Georgie may be stung, but you are poor at guessing. I'll paint the palace all alone, with princely vim and vigor, before I'l pay you men a bone above a righteous figure." The royal shack is punk, in fact, offending all who scan It, and Mary reads the not act but George is firm as granite. He ays to her, "Our dark abode will Ehabby be tor ages, unless some lads come up the road, who'll work for decent wages.'

Uncle Terwilliger says: "Old Hi Perkins of our town is disconsolate and refuses to be comforted. He got his wife's life insured for $25,000 and paid the premium five years Jn advance, and now the astronomers say the world is coming to an end in 1921." Cable informs us that the Maharajah

or uooch has nineteen wives. But per- j hapa he can afford it, because they don't wear hats or shoes. HANDY HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To keep children amused give them h lot of rocks and lock them in the sun parlor. It is only a siovenly housewive that lets her husband wash the dishes. The capable wife makes hiru wash them. Goldfish need not be dusted oftener than once a week. Wall paper should be carefully fold ed in a cupbeard when not in use. Young brides when going shopping should remember that corned beef and cabbage have to be bought separately. The man who invented the winter onion doubtless did a great deal for

it was. PERSONAL PREJUDICES. I have never seen a great financier who was a good dancer in his youth. 1, like all other great men, read detective sttnies fer relaxation from my public duties. . I do this not because detective stories offer me any relaxation, but because it seems to be tho proper tiling for great men to do.

courage to eat lettuce salad with my fingers.
