The Best Education.

The best of education, by which we mean training for effectiveness, is not always found in the schools, but in the study, the research, the trials, of after life. Some of the most noted scientists are not university graduates; Edison, for instance. Luther Burbank has been sneered at for the same reason. Yet, as The Town and Country Journal remarks, “Burbank is one of the men who make science for others less capable to follow.” Science—knowledge—ought to be measured by its product as well as by its theories.
