The crying need in the world today
is for well trained men and women.
These can be best developed
in our Christian homes and Christian
schools. I say Christian homes,

Ullkc the most careful inquiries as
to whether a religious spirit exists
and a proper regard is paid to developing
moral and religious characters
of the students. Better send
a boy a thousand miles to a college
pervaded with a religious spirit
(provided it does not depend upon
the religious spirit to cover its intellectual
poverty.) if such an institution
can be found at that distance,
than to send him twenty miles away
to one where the sole object is educating
the intellect."
How true! Then how great

Jones had been at the fair grounds

that a spark front the motor caused

yet if that education be not Christian

A Strong Argument for Their Support
by Mr. M. VY. Brabham.
When a few decades back the

choice for hint except between the
old field school and no school at all.
and the usual condition was that a
few broken months of schooling
finished the education of the youth
or maid. The great step from the
common country school to the college
walls was too great to be overcome
by the many, and it was only
the few who received a higher
education.
The need for intermediate schools
has long been felt, but has not for
so long been realized. The apparent
advantage of having a school
which will take the pupil from the
country schooi or town graded
school and give him or her special
training towards a life work and a
higher education, holds good when
it is looked into from every stand
point. The need of the country is

others to so act. The old motto of
"Nothing too much" can be applied

it is more than good for him.

The Dramatic Story of His Marriage
in Old Ago.
The story of Aaron Burr's marriage
in his old age to the widow of
Stephen Juniel, who was well known
in the early history of New York city,
is a dramatic one.
Conceive, if you will, the picture
of Burr, gifted adventurer that he
was. broken in health, branded in
the popular mind as the murderer of
Alexander Hamilton and returning
from a long exile to tind himself an
outcast in the city where he had once
been the political monarch of ail he
surveyed and a distinguished figure
in society and at the bar. Conceive,

Christian men who have been j

it is that the pupil is to receive what
is in many cases to constitute their

to the dull mind to make it

sition of the specially equipped high
school. In many cases these institutions
are establishing such pr<~ ?
paratory schools so that they can
have a preparation which gives earful
and particular attention to directing
the mind to a higher aud
fuller education!
Often the young man or woman ?
is confronted with the question just
as they stand at the end of the country
school or village school, "after '
this, what next." And then looms
up the great rospeet of the preparatory
school and ambition demands 4
more and the innate nature of mankind
calls out tor more mind food
and the result is the entrance to t
the high school where trained minds
are at work. And the truly anxious
boy or girl overcomes all obstacles
and goes to some good school and
there learns of the possibilities in
store for them. The store house or*
education is open to any one in this *
day and the key to success is
through that store house. The keys *
to every department of success are
found hidden away in this vast room
called "education" by some hut
more truly explained as "application 1
of the mind for the purpose of be
ing trained."
Support of an institution which
has for its aim and purpose that of
helping some young man or woman, 4
is not charity, but self preservation,
as some one has truly said. And
here in this section of the country
where men and women are going
out each day into the wider fields
of life, shall we not aid in preserv- f
ving and helping to improve a Godgiven
blessing, our own preparatory
school? The need is for us to supply,
not necessarily by the giving of
money, but the good word which any
institution needs in order for it to ?
grow and prosper.
