A word is the symbol of an idea.
One may have the most original and
forceful ideas—blit with n words to
express them, they are utterly value-
Idss. It might bp said that there are
no new ideas under the sun. In the
earliest recorded writings from the
Sanrkirt, the Chinese, the Hebrew,
the Greek or the Latin tongues, we
find the same thought again and
again. It is the expression only,
that varies. Each age, each nation
must evolve its own foini of vxpres
rion, or symbolism in its literary art.
'i he universal mind in this way frees
itself by the individual genius which
has caught its meaning. Thus words
may be said to be the tools of
thought. Word study therefore, is
one of the most important elements
of education. And the dictionary
which gives the derivation, the dif
ferent shades of meaning, the transi
tion in modes of spelling; in shert,
the history of the word, is the one
indispensable workshop for the work
er in words. Among all the eras of
dictionary making, the present excels.
And there is no excuse for anyone
not to possess a valuable dictionary.
The New Universities Dictionary,
now being distributed by this paper,
easily chief among the dictionaries
of its class. Our distribution has
been wide and far-reaching. We only
regret that the time draws near when
we can no longer get this wonderful
book for our readers, on the terms
hitherto prevailing. We hope that
those who have not yet gotten it, will
avail themselves of the unusual op
portunity presented today. The cou
pon published daily in our columns
explains the method of acquiring it.
