E D A Square Deal for the Student. NOTHER olution is evidently impending. it will be confined to schools and colleges. The radicals assert that clas- sical education is mostly useless, that the French language is losing its purity, and so on. The trouble in France is similar to that in other countries. Gen- eral courses are given in education and often the schools and colleges turn out misfits. If education were made for man and not man for education, there would often be happier results. Some day there will appear a great teacher who will give instruction fitted to indi- vidual students, and the colleges will then send out graduates whose natural inclinations have been followed and whose natural abilities have been fos- tered and strengthened. Then the bene- ficial effects of education will be more manifest than they now are. Possibly the educational revolution which is ex- pected in France may hasten the day when curriculums will be tem- pered and bent to suit the minds of students. The Cost of a Bible. HE INTENSE interest which the sale of the Gutenberg Bible excited and the extraordi- narily high sum of $50,000 which it brought are evidence of the hold that the Book of Books has on the popular affections. This Guten- berg Bible is the first important work printed from movable types. It appeared between 1450 and It has long been famous. ing the mutations of time for four and a half centuries, it now acquires new celebrity by be- coming the most costly volume a purchaser ever bought. There may be those who envy the pres- ent possessor, but Bibles that are ITORIALS. easier to read may be had almost for the asking and those who follow their teach- ings will eventually be just as fortunate as the man who paid $50,000 for the Gutenberg Bible. Why Not a Hotel of Fame? wi should popular men and rich men prefer to have philanthropic insti- tutions named after them and not hotels, and why should not hotels be called after distinguished citizens? Louisville, the city that Henry Watterson has made famous, is having built a grand new hotel, and most properly, in accordance with the wish of many of its residents, it is to bear the name of Henry Watter- son. Mr. Watterson writes from Europe that he is gratified at this action. A hotel will do just as well to keep green the name of a man as a hospital, for in- stance. Brief Decisions from the Bench. LUFF is what a man puts up, stuff is what he puts down. He puts up one when he has n't the other to put down. What Cupid has joined together let not cupidity put asunder. “IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH." Caustic Comment. N asking for an indefinite leave of ab- sence so that he may go to Europe, resident Corral of ‘0 is dis- creet. Ordinarily officials in his region take passage for Europe with a band of revolutionists behind them in pursuit. If he can get formal leave to go abroad and time to pack his trunk, he will make anew precedent. He will also be out of danger, which is a consideration that may have suggested itself to his mind. nt will be made slation to ‘pre An organized mi on Congress for the Grand Canyon of the Colo- This means a new force of offi- cials and sufficient appropriations. The Grand Canyon has preserved itself through all the ages and has taken fine care of itself. It might be permitted to do so in the future. a Congressman Ollie James, of Ken- tucky, has made a speech in the House of Representatives, in which, the news- papers say, he ridiculed the Payne tariff. Of men who carry front names like Ollie much is not expected. At any rate, the Payne tariff can stand attacks from suchas they. It converted a treasury deficiency into a surplus, and it has kept our factories open and retained prosperity and high wages. Ollie James attacks it be- cause he wants to be Senator from Kentucky, and Kentucky Demo- crats want all the protection they can get, with as little as possible for others, That's the kind of free traders they are, and Ollie James knows them, serve” rado. a There are suspicions extant that the Memphis offer of two millions to Mr. Bryan if he would remove himself to that city was made for conversational purposes. Mr. Bryan did not decline to try to get the Connecticut widow's mite, and it is hard to believe that he woud permit two millions to get away from him if it ever came in sight. comicbooks.com
