for the year ondlns July 31, 1901, gives
tho following statistics:
Thu valuo of school property ln the state

" 'Too much learning hath mado thee
mad.' The snme fear of education which
nromnted tbm criticism of the erudlto nuos

"Hcems to trouble the minds of some of the
critics of Mr Carneglo'B proposed gift to
the peoplo nf tho United States. They urge
that higher education for the people Is dan

I which unlit them for tho ordinary dutlea of
I their cIiihu; that they become mora Idlcm

"It is truo that 'a little learning U a
I dangerous thing,' but this danger Is the very
thing which a higher education Is Intended
to aud will obviate. Men must be taught
to think. They mUBt bo taught to collate,
arrango and understand the facte which
they learn In tho schools, from books and
newspapera. It Is only by giving the peoplo
the opportunities to Irarn inoro that they
can bo mado to think more correctly; to
give facts and figures their proper value.
Correct thinking can not be taught tn one
generation. The child of Illiterate parents
brought up among people who have hardly

"In the earlier day of education," says tha
Cleveland Plain Dealer, "the practice of
spelling wns much encouraged. It ranked
woll up with arithmetic, and wns reckoned
a very necessary adjunct to satisfactory
reading and writing. There was a good deal
of 'spelling down' and other forms of rh
valry In this lino of work, nnd every effort
was made to Interest the pupils In tho art
of Fpelllng correctly. Hut nowadays It
neems that spelling Is neglected. At least
wo aro forced to this conclusion by two
news Items that carry out the Impresslou
ln qulto nn emphatic way. In Northwest,
em university we aro told that tho flat has
gono forth that tho merit of tho 'various
themes nnd papers nnd other documentary
work submitted to tho professors will be
Judged by their spelling's well ns by their
knowledge of the subject treated upon. This
It Is stated, has caused a hurried search
for old-fashioned spelling books nni an
unwonted absorption of their contents. Then
the other day In Pennsylvania, a slmplo list
of words to be spelled was submlttod tn
55 school teachers and only nine spelled
all of them correctly.
"Of courso It will be admitted that spelling
is Ti very common branch of education. It
lacks In esthetic preparation, perhaps, nnd
It falls to harmonize with those forms of
mental discipline thnt are su thoroughly
approved by tho backers of high education.
And yet common though It be, and coarsely
fundamental, there Is something wholesome
about tho acquirement that appeals to old-
fashioned tastes n good deal stronger than
do the mental nwnkeners that soem to havo
crowded trom tho educational wall the old
foundation stones of what was called a good
common schooling."
f Coat nf College Life.
The colleges of the east and the west
are arrayed against each qthor on the ques
tion of the relative amount of student ex
penses. While some authorities hold that
the cost of living at tho western educa
tional Institutions Is tea than at those of
uiu eusi, uwiurn cuuivim uiui u Biuueui m
the latter section may live more cneapiy
by reason of the competition In the big
cities und becausa thero are more oppor
tunities for self-support.
Tho ItBue has been raised by a compara
tive table published by Columbia college.
It Is stated therein that a student may go
through Columbia for $387 for the ucndemlc
ear, which Is about $12 a week. An avr
nge estimate putB these figures at $687, or
$21 a weok, while an allowance termed
liberal In $829, or $26 a week.
Theso calculations embrace each actual
Item of expense. Including tuition fern,
books, board, lodging, clothes and washing.
Incidentals, a not Insignificant detail, nro
not Included.
In tho majority of western universities
belonging to the commonwealth of the
various states no tuition fee is charged
and practically tho only payment to tho
collegn by the studont Is a flinall sum for
matriculation, As nn average co3t of tui
tion at the great eastern schools Is nearly
$160 a year, It will bo seen that this differ
ence Is of Importnnco In making a com
parison. Anothor point to bo considered Is the
fact that some tables of cots Include cloth
ing and Incidentals, while others do not,
Thus Harvard's maximum Ilgures, $1,035,
embraco an Item of $200 for "sundries,"
Omitting this, the figure Is reduced to $835,
1 wr(lch Is considered thn maximum.
' Whllo Columbia nnd Harvard both exact
i tuition foes, West Virginia and Nebraska
are two of tho several Institutions which
pormlts thc nttendnnce of state residents
without, charge. West Virginia considers
$131 a low cost of a year's life without
i clothing, and $202 to be liberal. Nebraska's
statistician says $160 Is 'cheap, and that
the average Is $2C0, which sum Includes
everything, thus making the Nebraska In
stitution perhaps tho least expensive ln the
country.
