THE BLUE AND GOLD. of American Biography, there are shown sketches of over fifteen thousand American whose names anpear in "Who is who in America." Among them were thirty-one uneducated men, eight hundred common school graduates, and nearly five thousand eight hundred college graduates. Education, to many, suggests the thought of only acquiring knowledge but this is absurd. for there are other essentials to human life besides wisdom. One necessary principle is the develonment of character. There is a well known quotation. "Without development of character. education is a farce." If knowledge only is obtained. the training is of little value. But all schools do train students in such a way as to also develop noble characters. This is done by enforcing discipline and etiquette. As a consequence of the observation of these rules, a student developes his character in a profitable way. Another means, by which character way be developed. is by the convictions which are formed through reading instructive books. For as people become intelligent, they are able to determine the question of what is right. Also such habits arc formed as being prompt, hon est and observing. When a body of men wish to elect their officers, they not only choose the competent ones, but also those possessing character. If the office is of much consequence, a man of the best education must be chosen. Woodrow Wilson has become president for he was considered competent and upright. Presidents of universities, of colleges, and of large corporations are chosen because of both excellence in mental attainments and character. There have been cases where men, with but little formal education, have become great leaders. But, at present, the public is asking college men to become its leaders. A college-bred man has a great advantage over a so-called self-made man. and the one. who fails to take advantage of every educational opportunity, enters life under heavy handicap. Hiawatha's Auto (?) J. H. BRYAN Hiawatha's wife grew restless Said she could not live without it That he must buy for her an auto Red or blue, and bright and shining, Thus to go to church on Sunday. Hiawatha merely grounted, Said he'd "never buy no such thing." uttered something deep within him, Something with his Adam's apple, Which resembled rumbling curses. Still she nagged him, till at last he Took a train to the city, Not to try to find an auto. Hiawatha kept his promise. Bought a Ford from a junk dealer. Though he had to wait a little. While the man went 'round the corner, For he had no shining pennies For to change the beauteous quarter Hiawatha paid him for it. Hiawatha closed the contract, Safely stowed away the pennies. Climbed upon the horseless carriage While behind the junkman's helper Pushed and shoved, and heaved and panted. Thus, with many a squeak and rattle, Most melodious squeak and rattle, 'Started Hiawatha homeward. 6 p. in. and Hiawatha Still his way is wending homeward. Later still, but he arrives not. Then his wife begins to worry Fearing something, what. she knows not Next day ill walked Hiawatha, With his auto on his shoulder. Moss and bushes dangled from him, Till he very much resembled Something found by Jimmy Hoar, In the backyard. in the gloaming. "What's the matter?" cried his beloved And his fourteen little children. "T have brought you back an auto," He replied and then he fainted. Four long weeks did Hiawatha Tinker with his new found plaything, Till he got it almost working. Got it so that when he spun it It would snort and fire Something like a Gatling gun squad When they're fightin a battle. Sunday conies. and Hiawatha Takes his family in his auto.
