Dr. O. C. OiOOOD,

Caxtorla U the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day it Dot
far distant when mother will consider the real

Collegiate Education.
JAY GOULD BELIEVES IN PRACTICAL
EDUCATION FIRST OF ALL.
Some of the over-zealous friends nf
the present standard of collegiate edu
cation are poking fun at Jay Gould
because he not lone aco said: "It
seems to me that our colleges ought
to adopt a new course. The time, I
think, has come for them to pay less
attention to the Greeks, Romans and
Hebrews and the dead laneuacres. and
understand that this is a progressive
country. " But these irentlemin An
not do Mr. Gould justice by giving all
ne saia, ior ne aaaea tnis : "A person
is verv much misnlaced here who Hna
not know how to help himself with his
own nanas. 1 tnink well of education
and have always been Dartial to it. hut
it would be the easiest thine for our
colleges to have mechanical and man
ual departments incorporated in their
system of tuition. The sons of wealthy
men would feel all the more secure if
they had learned some trade while at
colleee." That Mr. Gould was nnt
talking without purpose is shown by
wua.1 luuuwcu. nc saia :"i nave seen
that in the case of my own family. Mv
son George is an expert telegrapher,
ana wnen ne nas traveled with mi to
the West we eenerallv live in our car
and switch it off at a siding. My son
will then put on his boots, his steel
clamps or prongs, and go up the tel
egraph pole, attach the wire to his in
strument in the car, and then he sends
for me all my telegraph messages. It
causes him no disparagement, and
makes him feel that he could get his
living at all times." But we may take
only the sentences first quoted from
Mr, Gould about college professors,
ana we nna notning so amazing in
them as these eentlemen Dretend to hv
discovered. Indeed his remarks were
brought out by a late declaration of
the Emperor of Germany that he re
garded the larce and inactive ednmteH
class as something of a menace to
moaern times, indeed what Mr.
Gould said was onlv reneatintr what
Richard Cobden (the Cobden spoken
01 Dy uisraeii as an honor to England,
and bv Tohn Bricht as "the manliest
and gentlest spirit that ever quitted or
tenanted a human form") gave utter
ance to in an address at the opening
of the Manchester Athenaeum many
years ago. He was anxious, he said, i
during a tour of Greece to see the eel-'
ebrated river IHvksmq am wis on if
- - - -- v. iiwil III.
last he reached it he found that elusive '
stream narrow and shallow, a party of
Greek washerwomen making the onlv I
practical use of it possible. -'And
yet," said he "the students of Oxford i
"I - . . 1 3 "II 1
ana v..amDriage win spend much time
in enthusiastic inquiries concerning
the source and course of the Illyssus, '
and will be content to be almost en
tirely ignorant of the Mississinni that
rolls through two thousand miles of
country and bears on its breast the
commerce of a mighty continent."
