Education, as many people suppose, does not consi.'tt in filling a child’s ’ mind with knowledge. The di.scipline of formal .study is merely Laying the foundation of an education. The in- ^ tellismt atudent brings away from .school little more, at best, than an un derstanding of how knowledge may be acquired and from w’hat sources. If he has been fortunate in his teacj;)- ers (all students are not) he will also have some comprehension of the rela tion of each kind of knowledge to-Wl-^ others.

But what ran he more readily undersloiwl, 111 the ease of the national delit, is that it has d(ud)l»*d in the la>t six .years; that the per eafuta debt is now near ly twenty-five times as large as it was HI tile year tH*fore the war, and that the eost of eiirrying this debt imposi's a eliargi* on every .salarieii person, and every wage-earner in the emintry, either through dnx*ct tax ation, through one or another dozen different kiiuts- ation, or through an increa.se in the eost of living. The greate.st .single failure of the session of congress which einleil on .Saturday was its failure to assure the country of a balanced hudgi't which would preclude further borrowing by the tr«*asury and a further increase of the debt.

The most significant and least re assuring fact in the preaant aituatioa is that the budget remains uiybalaneed even though the gournment’s antici pated revenues for thi* very fiscal year will rise to the highest figure ever reachetl in the whole history of the country. If the United States can not stop borrowing witHJits revenues at such a peak, how can it expect ever to stop borrow’ing at all? This is pre cisely the time when the country should be reducing its indebtednesa rather than increasing it; bringing it down to more manageable propor tions, and jealously conserving the national credit for whatever lean years may lie ahead.
