PROF. FRANK J. MILLER, examiner of secondary schools, is reported to have said, at the Junior Chapel of the University of Chicago, a short time ago, that only those who can answer all the following questions in the affirmative are educated:

Has education given you a sympathy for all good causes?

Has it made you easier to interest yourself in them?

Has it made you public-spirited? Do you look beyond your door-yard and take interest in a clean city?

Has it made you a brother to the weak? Have you learned the value of money and time?

Have you learned how to make and keep friends?

Do you know how to be a friend to yourself?

Can you look an honest man or pure woman straight in the eye?

Do you see anything to love in a little child?

Will a lonely dog follow you in the street?

Can you be high-minded and happy in the drudgeries of life?

Can you think washing dishes and hoeing corn are just as compatible with high thinking as going to school?

Can you be happy alone?

Are you good for anything to yourself?

Can you look out on the world and see anything but dollars and cents?

Can you look into a mud puddle and see the blue sky reflected?

Can you see good in everything?

Can you look upon the sky at night and see beyond the stars?

Does your soul claim relationship with the Creator?—School Journal.
