390 all professors are superfluous when they are nothing else, but when they also practise with their hands, they may be of some service. And so Task you, what is your son to be? A useful citizen, Socrates, I hope. Then, O Axiochus, let him be his own teacher in those things of the mind he de- sires to learn, and in the arts and sciences let him go to those who practise them. And where would you send him if you desired him to become most proficient in cigarctte-smoking, football-playing and other sports—such as love-making, which we have barcly mentioned before, but which seems a sport? Where, then, Axiochus, would you send him for these purposes ? It appears, Socrates, that I would send him to school, for these are the things which he would learn there better than anywhere else. For Right and Americanism ERHAPS our readers will excuse our presenting this extract from an article by William Winter in the Pactfic Monthly. The remarks are inspired by the Theatrical Trust: ‘The methods of the syndicate are, how- ever, the methods of the whole business world—covetous to clutch everything, and to crush all competition. In this city its iniquitous power has sufficed to exclude from its theatres persons who venture to question the justice of its administration. Mr. James $.

EARLY BELOVED: My text is taken to-day from the first page of the Sun, third column, thir- tieth verse: And Morgan made a bond issue And great was the profit therefrom, Tt was in the days of much stress, when there was famine in the land, and the people, as you can imagine, were exceedingly restless. Morgan had been appointed by the Lord keeper over many millions, and there was much distrust of him as to how he got them, and, indeed, why. But when this great stress came upon the people, and, not knowing where to turn, they found that the Lord had taken care of them and appointed Morgan to buy their bonds, the need of all his rich which before that they wondered at, be- came at once apparent. Thus we see that we should never lift up our hearts in sorrow, but trust in Mor- gan and the Lord to carry us through. As “LJOW did you enjoy the opera?” “Very poor.
