The great question of the day is,
how and where can the best educa
tion be obtained? The best educa
tion is that which prepares for the
necessities of life. No man can live
in ignorance and make a success of
life. The education needed by the
average young man or woman is
that which gives them a store of
useful knowledge, and at the same
time trains the mental powers so,
that the knowledge they possess can |
be Used, to a good advantage. The i
successful man must be trained to |
think and to ezpresi his thoug Vs •
forcibly. Jar-" Kccmat Instil ••
