Mr. Jlarriman's Idea as to the
Conditions under which a college
| man will get on in railroading is
| very much the same as that of most
I successful men regarding college
| men in their special calling. Tin?
| _reat railroad administrator and
trganizer inevatibly lays great stress
on the moral rather than the intel
| lectual qualities of the man under
discussion. It is the stick-to-it
| -pirit" tiiat. carries one through.
| I Jut also it is to be remembered thai
lit is this spirit that carries a boy
| through college with tin; best results.
The one who is indowed with it is
I not necessarily or n< nerally a fair
! representative of college training,
| for that training does it more for
j hint than it does for his chum who
: may lack perseverance.
The truth is that there is such a
! variety in boys at collegse, that any
j generalization is defective. One
j tiling however, is indicated in Mr.
: I larrimm's shrewd commentary,
jit is that the boy in college who has
j to work hard in order to get on has,
i in the very limitations of his career,
a real and valuable advantage over
| those in "easier" circumstances.
I Whether he be poor, or only a 111 tie
j dull, if he i-> forced to put his u hole
strength into his efforts, they
j gradually and almost unconsciously
I build up in him a capacity for work
II hat i.s more precious than any other
quality in after life.
The New York Times suggest that
in public provision for the so called
higher education it is quite possible
to make it too cheap and too facile.
Beyond the sound elementary school
ing t > hicii every child is in a sense
entitled for the protection of the
1 community, it is h very sound doc
trine that education will be more
justly valued by him who gets i; if it
costs something of au effort and self
denial.
The brilliant writer on travel,
I rank («. Carpenter, is now travel
big through the farKastern countries.
He tells his experiences in a facuiat
ing, entertaining as well as educat
letter every week in the Philadelphia
Press every Sunday. The seriesh as
just begun by Mr. Carpenter and
will surpass anything lr? has ever
attempted. He is now in Japan,
where he met vice Minister of Fore
ign atfai s, also the greatest General,
Prince Yamagata, who is realy the
father of the great fighting machine,
which brought Japan to the front.
Mr. Carpentewill also travel through
China, Coreu and Manehura, and Ids
letters will appear every Sunday ex
clusively in THE PHILADEL
PHIA PRESS. Order your copy to
