GARRETT P. 8ERVISS, who mode himself out of a newspa per man Into a scientist, tells how he recently received a letter from a sec tion hand on a railroad who related how he had taught himself astronomy and Latin because he was interested In the stars and the poet VlrgiL This man, who described himself as “uneducated” made the curious re mark, *‘I have found that I can learn anything that gives me pleasure." That throws n bright light.on the whole subject of education. - u. *« • At this time of the year when the universities are turning out their graduates by the thousands the ques tion of training naturally arises in the minds of those who have sons and daughters to prepare for the future. Is It possible that the case of ^Ii*. Servlss’ section hand, who found In tellectual salvation for himself, and by itself, is no different from that of mimy who had all the “advantages of tiie higher education?’’ For their education only really began when they left college. •c • • • Charles Darwin, tite greatest man of science of nls age, regarded the time that he had spent at the university as wasted. Herbert Spencer was all his life a solitary Investigator and thinker. Thomas Henry Hanley had to abandon his university work and earn his living after he had pnsaed the first medical examination of the Uni versity of London. John Tyndall educated himself In science as i member of the ordinance - e survey. What Is the explanation of the careers of these four distinguished men? Obviously It la this, that they found It easy, as the section hand did, to learn anything that gave them pleasure. Much education la wasted bet-ausc tmm take no pleasure In It. This. too. Is surely the explanation of the astonishing achievements of Madame Curie, the most brilliant femlplne "man of science” that we know’ anything about. ' * • • Great schools and great universities provide no easy or royal road to learn ing. They give young men a chance to meet others who are Interested In the same subjects. They provide the "emulation" which the philosopher Francis Bacon regarded as so Impor- tan.. But It remains for the individual who hag been through the mill of a higher education to pick out for him self the path that he Is to tread. Systems of education are Important In the case of the average man, but of slight importance In that of the man of genius or great talent. Shakespeare and Lincoln were self- taught and they will go on teaching the world as lohg as their writings re main us models for mankind. What would the author of the Gettysburg Speech have said If he had been told that reproductions of the Gettysburg Speech would be hung up In the College of Oxford as ,an example of English prose at Its best? (Con? right.) O Hoof-and Mouth.- Blondlne—Isn’t Bennie Beanbrough the thick one? Brunettn—He Is all of that. » Blondlne—I said to him, "Ev*ry time I open my mouth I put my ft>ot In It.” Brunetta—Uh huh ! Blondlne—And right aw; y the poor fish looked down at my feet. “HALL-MARK." T O SAY that something bears the “hall-mark” has come to mean that it Is genuine, un adulterated, above suspicion and the expression is now fre quently applied to men, though In the beginning It was ufiixed only to articles of gold or sil ver. Strictly speaking, the hall mark is the official stamp used by the Goldsmiths' compauy In England as a proof of the purity of various metals, the name be ing derived from the Jewelers' guild dr hfdl and not frora any resemblance to a hallway le the stamp Itself. The hall-mark for London Is a leopard’s head; for Dublin a harp; for Glaspow a tree and a salmon with a ring Iri Its mouth; for Birmingham, an anchor; for Exeter, a castle with two wings; for Sheffield, a crown, etc.- In addition to these marks, which Indicate the place at which the metal was assayed, there are other sym bols, showing the purity of the metal. These symbols are ex pressed In the form of carats for gold and the “sterling’’ and “standard ’ marks for silver, the former meaning that there are 11 ounces and 10 pennyweight of pure silver to the troy pound, and the latter that there are 11 ounces and two i>e;u*^Velgbt. the standard for British silver coins. The addition of u letter, signifying the year in which the assay was made, completes the “hall-murk" and Insures the genuineness of the material used. (Copyrlsht.)
