True Education Teaches
the Student to Know
His Own AbiHty
By Or. J. G. EMERSON, Kansas
Stat: Agricultural Cctleg*

TRUE education consists of more
than tlie ueqniaition of a mass
of canned ideas. More men
fail because of the lack of their
ability to express what they know
than because of their lack of kmflirl
edge.
It is coining to be recognized
more and more that true education
looks toward the mental processes
of the student himself—bis ability
to think logically, to organize ideas,
to visualize knowledge in terms of
its applicability to actual living.
Public speaking may be an art,
but it is also a plain business propo
sition, a matter ol dollars and cents.
THE PRACTICAL MAN SHOULD
KNOW HOW TO STAND SQUARE
LY ON HIS FEET AND TO EXPRESS
WHAT HE KNOWS IN COMPACT.
CLEAR CUT LANQUAGS.
That Indefinite Artlol*.
The rule rivaling with the indefinite
article preceding words commencing
with "u" iwhen pronounced "yu") does
not appear to be an adamantine one.
Like Macauiay. with his fondness for
"an" university, many of our best
writers and speakers prefer to tgnoro
the rule and back their fancy in this
little Question of "euphony. Aa tor the
man In the street, the matter has long,
ago been settled In favor of "a" iu all
cases where the Initial "*u" 'has the
"yu" sound, partly no doubt because
such phrases as "au nlilted people" do
not come trippingly off the tongue and
have an old fashioned., pedantic flavor.
And there are sensitive ears that will
prefer "a unique" to the more studied
"an unique."—London Chronicle.
Calendar* of the Aztec*.
Calendars are probably the -oldest
form of literature la the world. The
cards which appear by the millions in
all civilized countries nowadays hare
their counterpart among the moat an
cient known races. The Aztecs, for ex
ample, were well awpptted with calen
dars. and several of them have been
preserved to this day. They were pub
lished In stone and -set up In public,

THE WAYS OF
FAJE

Miss Dorothy Campbell knew that
bad rained and frozen daring the night
She opened the door and stepped oat
to And that the top atone step was atill
a glare. Miss Dorothy was falling and
screaming when a male pedestrian
who happened to be passing at that
moment, rushed part way ap the steps
and received her In his arms. The
shook landed both of them on the walk,
but on their feet and they suffered no
Injury.
-You will excuse me, miss," said the
man as he raised bis hat
"Not only excuse, but thank you,"
was the reply.
"And you were going oat without
rubbers 7" he queried.
"I never wear them."
"You run a terrible risk such a day
as today."
"Oh, I am pretty Barefooted," she
faiaghed as she noticed that be had
provided himself with a pair. "Thanks
a ruin."
As Miss Dorothy was moving away
sh» noticed that her rescuer was a
man of perhaps twenty-five, with a
professional look abotit him. He had
dark hair and eyes and a smile that
was good nature Itself. He was stilt
standing, and she realized that he
would watch ber until she had crossed
the street, and, though there was ice
under her feet, she stepped out boldly.
She saw two or three pedestrians slip
ping and falling, but she would take
no warning. By sheer good luck she
reached the destination she bad set out
for, and In time she started to make
her way home. She hnd made half the
distance when a rongb neck of a man
In passing her seemed to give her his
elbow with intent to make her fall,
and fall she did. But Miss Dorothy
didn't go right down amid the slush.
A pair of strong arms prevented her,
and as she was I 1 on ber feet again
she turned to fina die man who hnd
saved her before
"Why—you—you"—
'"Tes," be smiled. "1 was not follow,
lng you to act the part of a guardian,
but I had to come back this way and
had only Just seen you when the bis
loafer brought about the collision. I
was near enough to snv;» you from a
fall"
"And I owe you my thanks again,"
she said.
It was about the middle of the next
May, and there were early roses In
stead of slush and Ice that Miss Doro
thy Campbell arrived at a little coun
try railroad station twenty miles out of
the big city. She had come down to
pay her slsti r a brief visit and thev
were to meet her at the station with
an auto. The auto bad not arrived yet,
and the girl was standing on the plat
form, waiting.
"I/3ok outt Look out!" shouted a
dozen voices In chorus, and then there
was a mad scramble among those on
the platform. One of the freight cars
being pushed along by the locomotive
had partly left the rail and broken
loose from tie train, and It would l>e
almost sure to bump Into the platform.
Miss Dorothy was abont the only one
tn the crowd who did not see the dan
ger. Most of them hnd got awny, and
sh9 was still standing and wondering,
when an arm went around ber waist
and she was lifted up and half car
ried and half dragged to the far end of
the platform and thence half way
across a street She turned to find
"that man." He lifted bis hat and
calmly explained:
"I have come down here to visit my
brother, who Is to meet me here. 1
was on the car with you, but you did
not see me. I am glad to have been of
service to you. Tbree or four people
have been hurt and will require the
aid of a surgeon. You. doubtless,
have friends coming to meet you. Will
you excuse me while I go and see what
I can do for those who have been In
Jnred? 1 am a physician, you know."
Just then her sister came up in the
auto and called to her. So she and
the young man bad met once more,
though she bad never expected to see
him again.
Arter sne nwoverea nor cnnipnsnre
and had been asked a dozen times
over for the particulars of the Inci
dent, she related her whole story from
the beginning.
A week passed away. If Dr. Roy
Qoodsend took auy measures to dis
cover where the young lady was stop
ping, no one but his brother knew. If
Miss Dorothy Campbell was rather
anxious to find where the doctor was
located she kept it to herself, but Fate
solTed the problem. In walking ab§ut
her Bister's gardens Miss Dorothy
stepped In a hole and fell forward and
broke an arm. A telephone call was
sent out over the country neighbor
hood for a doctor—and a doctor that
could come with a rush. Half an hour
later Dr. Roy Ooodsend appeared at
the house, and In less than an hour the
broken bone was set and splinted and
bandaged, and about all he said of any
consequence before he took bis de
parture was:
"I was sorry I was not at hand to
catch you as yon fell Really, Miss
Campbell, you seem to need the care
of a guardian."
Before the broken bone had com
pletely knit Dr. Roy Goodsend had
something to say. lie sat amidst the
roses climbing over the veranda. He
hadn't a wife and two or three child
ren, but wanted them, and Miss Dor
othy was sensible enough to let him
rescue her for the fourth time.
