Handicap
in Education
Can Be Overcome
By F.I.I, I MUh.Kl.F.n WII.CIX.
CopvrlRht. iiis, star Company.
TVrhar there is no more pathetic sit
uation In life than that of the man or
woman of adult. years who. throuith sud
'lrn rise of fortune, or through marriage,
finds a nrnlrctod education a berrler to
hiipplnrss
An attractive exterior and a kind heart
often blind a man to a woman's deti
i lenriea In education until ehe la placed
in daily contrast to his more cultured
relatives and associates. Then his prMe
and the sensitive feelings of the wife are
onstantly wounded.
A man of wealth (both of purse and
heart) recently asked me how he could
overcome his lack of education. Improve
his language and enlarge his fund of in
formation without the humiliation of
placing himself under teachers.
lie had acquired fortune and Influence
In Lite business world, and. had become
the husband of a cultivated young
woman. He was conaclous of being at
a disadvantage when In the presence ot
her relatives and friends.
To this man and to every man and
woman similarly situated 1 would offer
this advice:
Procure the works of Washington Irv
ing', Ralph Emerson, Thackeray and Na
thaniel Hawthorne. Begin perhaps with
Emerson.
Obtain a blank book and make a rule
of writing a page, or a chapter, from
Emerson's essays each day. No matter
how unprepared your mind may be Kr
this work, keep at It until interest is
awakened. Copy the words with pre
cision and exactness. Consult a dictionary
when any word which is not familiar
is encountered. Try to master the mean
ing of every phrase; but even if It escapes
you copy the words and paas on to, things
you do understand.
However dull this task may seem, you
are aurely and certainly forming the
habit of correct phrasing. Added to this
you are familiarizing yourself with good
literature and with the thoughts of great
minds
Io not try to do too much at
Work slowly and patiently. But
first,
work
every day a little.
Never copy more than one essay in
a day and be satisfied If you only copy
one printed page. You will be surprised
to find how much you will accomplish in
(i few months by this persistent prac
tice. When you begin upon the novels do not
attempt to write down the entire book.
Kead all the chapters carulully. but copy
i.nly those pages whlcn aocm mui ai
tractive to you, or such thoughts
aa ap-
peal to you.
After vou have advanced enough
to
fei-1 vour Improvement, take up Shake
sleaie. Milton and
ilie name methods.
Uoethe. and follow
After one year of peratatent work for
even an hour dally along these lines your
efforts will satisfy you that you are on
the right road to mental ouUure.
vour mind will be aa transformed as
a garret which , careful hands have
. hanged Into a bouuolr. by removing rub
bish and replacing It with wisely selected
furniture.
To read the leading mageslnea keeps
one in touch with current events and
with the new discoveries and Inventions
of the day. Select perhape two monthly
magasines and make a rule to read them
through each month. Avoid allPshod
habits of reading. Never undertake to
.peak of an article you have rad unless
vou are able to give a clear Idea of It.
Learn the great gift of being silent until
- - M L.uln. .nmnthtng 01
you are sure -
interest to say.
Practice the art of drawing other peo
ple out and leading them to talk. Listen
well and meditate upon what jrou hear,
if you are listening to the educated and
cultured you wlU be able to learn some
thing of the matter of expression, even
If you obtain no real Information.
Educated and cultured people do not
always impart Information. Not Infre
quently they are mere parrots, repeat
ing what they have heard or read In
stead of what they have thought and
learned by experience.
Do not imagine education means in
fallibility of Judgment or keen sense of
justice. But It usually does mean cor
rect expression.
Notice the errors made by others In
epeech and In manners only to avoid
them. Notice their accomplishments to
emulate them.
Try to learn something new every day.
Carrv a little notebook, and If you hear
a word which Is not familiar keep It in
mind until you can Jot It down. If you
,H the word do the same and, before
you sleep, and Its meaning. The next
morning think it over until it Is added
to your vocabulary.
If you have leisure and means, look
up some school of correspondence and
lake a course of study. Almost every
, ity has a school of this kind and they
sre excellent substitutes for colleges.
I rhetoric, mathematics, literature, are all
thins which csn be taught by oorre
noondonce. There Is not me Biianir.i nn.wi
for any human being today remaining
iznoiant. Indolence, lack of ambition
and lark of application are the causes of
ignorance, not circumstances.
Whoever will, may acquire education
and culture.
Advice to Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
A Mii'i Friend.
Heat- Miss Fairfax: For eighteen
months I have been keeping company
with a young man who Is two years my
senior. I love him dearly and I am sure
tnv love was always reciprocated until re
cently, when he started to associate with
a oung man whom I very much dislike.
MV friend knowa that I have very good
reasons for my actions, but says I should
not Interfere.
I am sure It would break my heart to
leave him. and yet we can never be
frirnda If he continues to associate with
this young man. I have written to you
of this before, but did not receive any
answer. rTTHEU
Would you permit this young man to
dictate to you as to your feminine
friends? IPs friends, though obnoxious
to you. may mean a great deal to him.
and I think you are altogether too exact-
for a woman to try to dictate to a manly
man aa to hla masculine associates. Un
less the "bone of contention" Is a really
