ARE YOU EDUCATED ?

ACCORDING TO AN AMERICAN’S STANDARD. A professor in the University of Chicago, says the Kansas City Star, told his pupils that he should consider them educated in the best sense of the word when they could say “yes” to every one of the questions that he should put to them. Here ar«e the questions : Has education given you sympathy with all good causes and made you espouse them ? Has it made you public-spirited? Has it made you a brother to the weak ? Have you learned how to make friends and keep them ? Do you know what it is lo be a friend yourself ? Can you look an honest man o a pure woman in the eye ? Do you see anything to love in a little child ? Will a lonely dog follow you in the stieet ? Can you be high-minded and happy in the meaner drudgeries of life ? Do you think washing dishes and hoeing corn just as compatible with high-thinking as piano-play-ing or golf ? Are you good for anything to yourself ? Can you be happy alone ? Can you look out on the world and see anything except dollars and cents ? Can you look into a mud puddle by the wayside and see a clear sky ? Can you see anything in the puddle but mud ? Can you look into the sky at night and see beyond the stars ? . Can your soul claim relationship with the Creator ?
