ON EDUCATION.
SIR;—In your pleasant little college paper I am in a recent issue quoted as saying that I "believe in a man having an education, because he can sit on a stool a few hours and draw a big salary." I may be allowed to correct your reporter in one particular To the best of my knowledge and belief I have said nothing of the kind In fact, if called on to speak with regard to education and salary I should be compelled to declare something wholly in contradiction to the above misquotation. I know of a young man of somewhat limited education who sits on a stool not a few but many hours, and is embarrassingly positive that he does not draw a "big salary;" of his case I am sure. Further than this, I have a less exact knowledge of certain young men in similar circumstances. But despite the painful conditions of the cases quoted I am glad of an opportunity to say that I do sincerely "believe in a man having an education" for certain other reasons than stool and salary conditions.
There is a practical value in education which is evident without it being necessary to refer to the Hon. Geo. R. Peck's statistics of prominent educated men, or to Mr. Chas. Gleed's arguments regarding the "Money Value of Education." I can never bring myself to Mr. Gleed's happy state of mind, which leads him to say that the farmer should have a university education that he may better understand how to oil his mower, or that the hired man should have had college training in order that he may better diagnose the case of an ailing Berkshire. I doubtless am gifted with a less sanguine temperament than Mr. Gleed, which effectually dulls my perception to the beauties of a thorough course in Sanskrit, as exhibited in the cowboy's choice vocabulary—but (very sharply, as Prof. James Canfield ejects it) I am nevertheless convinced that the farmer, the hired man, the cowboy and all would, if they could afford it, and were fit subjects, live a much broader life, and be of greater help perhaps to their comrades with a college education than can be true when not so blessed. I had said "happier" not "broader" life, but made the change because of a serious doubt as to what real happiness is. Undoubtedly, though with a college education the cowboy would close his reign of terror and cease to be a cowboy. We would lack a necessary member of the economic world. If everybody in the world were to be given a four-years' additional education, then we might conceive of no tearing up of existing conditions. There would be a change in everyone, so that our relations would remain much the same, just as if every commodity, and every service, were decreased a certain per cent in value, all would be relatively in no changed condition. The cowboy instead of "swigging his reg'ler bed-bug pisen" would doubtless "imbibe his customary drink of whisky," but the consequent delirum tremens would be as full of horror as the once "jim-jams." The farm hands might need another motive to write a Pricreuses ridicule, but the land would surely be no Utopia. And yet, I believe in a "man having an education," if he is in a position to get it. This does not mean if he is sufficiently well-fixed financially, but means rather, if he feels in himself a sincere and earnest desire for such an education. College training to him who does not desire and will not benefit by it is not a good, and should not be permitted. These are four years too nearly wasted; but the farmer's boy, the mechanic's son, the rich man's heir, who feels a lacking in his life; who appreciates an inability to take advantage of much of life's enjoyment, an inability to suitably fill a sphere in life to which a high mind calls him; this boy is in a position to get a college education. Though he may have to contend with serious difficulties, or his way is clear in either case he will be benefitted. The matter of many hours and small salary will not be such a serious privation to him, for he will receive from this world an income of pleasure, which will eke out his dollars. I do, Mr. Editor, sincerely believe in a "man having an education."

The Chancellor has complained that the noisy seniors must be quieted, as it is impossible for any recitations to go on in the building when they are loose. A nice example for the juniors.
The Kent Club, organized as the Senate of the United States, will act upon the following pension bill this evening. The committee who drafted the bill purposely left several weak places in it, that there might be abundant opportunity for discussion-
[Bill H. R. No. 1021.]
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled:
An act to create a fund for the pensioning of all honorably discharged soldiers and sailors of the Civil War.
SECTION 1. That the sum of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) be raised annually for fifteen years by a per capita tax on all male residents of the United States over twenty-one years of age.
SEC.2. That said tax shall be apportioned among the several states in such proportion as the number of male residents, hereinbefore described in each of the several states, shall bear to the whole number of said residents in the United States. The census of 1890 being the basis of apportionment.
SEC. 3. This tax shall be collected by the District Revenue Collectors and by them paid into the treasury of the United States, and said collectors are hereby authorized to appoint such assistants as may be necessary.
Sec. 4. The fund created by this act shall be subject to the control of the Commissioner of Pensions.
Sec. 5. All monies raised by this act shall be apportioned among the soldiers and sailors of the Civil War in proportion to their respective terms of service: Provided that no soldier or sailor shall receive a pension under this act that has not received an honorable discharge and seen six months of service.
Sec. 6. Any person subject to such taxation who shall neglect or refuse to pay said tax, or in any way attempt to evade the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be fined a sum not less than twenty-five ($25) or exceeding fifty ($50) dollars, and shall be imprisoned for thirty [30] days.
