Colony Quips (Continued from Page 1) That glimpse may intrigue you and lead you to enter; or, again, it may hold no interest for you. In any event, you will know the door. Lord Bacon took all knowledge for his province. Even though human knowledge was much more limited than today, Bacon’s province was beyond his magnificent powers. The intensive development of the last century in every field of human endeavor has so increased the store of human knowledge that a man perforce must become something of a specialist in the line of work he aspires to do. Your problem is to decide the nature of that work and, next, to devote your energies toward its mastery. Mere mastery of a means of livelihood does not mean a man is educated. One must have cultural knowledge to make him a civilized being. He should know something of good music. He should have a speaking acquaintance with art and architecture. He should have a reading knowledge of the best literature. Too much reading is not a good thing. It should be balanced with the proper amount of mental activity. Bacon said, “Reading maketh a full man, speaking a ready man, and writing an accurate man.” A reasonable acquaintance with all of these activities is necessary to an educated man. OF ASSOCIATION — Association with others is an indispensable aid towards a good education. Contacts with people who live in other environments are necessary for an understanding of the world. There is no one so people and fat people, good people and bad people, smart people and dullards, patriots and traitors, wise men and clowns, Dives and Lazarus. In the course of a life you should meet almost every type of human kind. It is a part of the business of life to understand these various types and to profit in growth from those from whom profit can be derived. Make up your mind that you will have to live with people. It is within your power to make this easy or difficult. The unfailing lubricant of social contact is courtesy. And by courtesy I do not mean mere formal politeness but rather a geniality of spirit which recognises all people as fellow humans. Avoid, as you would a plague, any show of superiority. The yokel can teach you many things you do not know. Be alert for what you can learn from everyone. Be friendly but avoid intimacies with the casual acquaintance; he does not expect them and seldom respects them. You will find people with whom everything is black or white, good or bad, ugly or beautiful. There are no neutral tints in their spectra. Of course, such a view of humanity is inaccurate. There is a good deal of good in the worst of us and a good deal of bad in the best of us. Your neighbor is neither saint nor sinner. He is a human being very much like yourself. If you are healthy-minded you will find some good in all. OF FRIENDS—As you go along in life, you will find that you will have many acquaintances but few friends, and most of those friends will be the result of acquaintances in earlier life. There is a reason for this. Friendship is costly. It asks no questions. It gives without stint. It accepts without hesitation. Romeo woos his Juliet to love that: “My bounty is as boundless the sea; My love as deep; the more I to thee, The more I have, for both infinite.” The theme of love inspires musician to divine harmony, poet to exquisite verse, the warp and woof is the mutual spect and faith of the man woman who wear it. Its sheen is from the threads offection and devotion. Delit though it be, it is a veritable armor which will protect who cherishes it from the lair of lust and the sword of passion. But for him who is indifferent and allows his affection and deception to lag, the garment loses luster, the armor its magic, life records another dreary aster on the shoals of humanity and weakness. Choose wisely and love deeply. IN CONCLUSION—Before you have doubtless found that what I have said there is nothing new. That is true because wisdom of life is very old. You have acquired a great deal in way of scientific knowledge in last century, but we have added little to the wisdom of human life if you doubt this, read the Book and Proverbs, the OF ASSOCIATION — Association with others is an indispensable aid towards a good education. Contacts with people who live in other environments are necessary for an understanding of the world. There is no one so difficult as a provincial. Such a person measures every problem in the light of his own limited knowledge and limited environment. Inevitably he cannot meet and see the problems of other people and other climes from common viewpoint. Provincialism means prejudice. Prejudice destroys reason and reason is indispensable in civilization. OF PEOPLE—The world is full of people. You will find short people and tall people, slender HOME CANNING'S BEST 2-piece metal lid Use this newest development in 2-piece metal lids! There's no doubt of a safe seal for your home-canned foods. Just press to test — if DOME is down, jar is sealed! Fits any Mason jar. Easy to use because it's sure. Can more the easy way—with BALL JARS AND DOME LIDS! OF WOMEN—The first woman in your life was your mother; you will find no other who will love you more. The next woman in your life was your sister, born in the same household. You will always find comfort and sympathy in her companionship. Beyond these two, many more will doubtless enter your life; the role they play will be largely determined by your attitude towards them. They are capable of splendid comradeship, unflagging devotion, and intense loyalty. Likewise, they are capable of accompanying you to the depths of depravity and degradation. When you select your companions among women, you will determine the part they will play in your life; indeed, I might say that you will thereby determine the kind of life you will lead. Women can and will contribute more of joy or sorrow to your life than any other human the best of us. Your neighbor is neither saint nor sinner. He is a human being very much like yourself. If you are healthy-minded you will find some good in all. OF FRIENDS—As you go along in life, you will find that you will have many acquaintances but few friends, and most of those friends will be the result of acquaintances in earlier life. There is a reason for this. Friendship is costly. It asks no questions. It gives without stint. It accepts without hesitation or qualifications. Such relations are part of the fullness of youth. As we grow older, we are more restrained. We are unwilling to surrender ourselves to the demands or requirements of such a relationship. You will have only a few real friends in the course of a lifetime. This is for two reasons: First, because there will be only a few for whom you are willing to pay the price; and, second, there will be only a few of your contacts who will give to you the full measure of friendship. If you would have some estimate of how the world has measured friendship, read Cicero's De Amicita; also, Emerson's Essay on Friendship. They will help you to appraise its qualities. These estimates are as valid today as they were in the day when they were written, because friendship is an unchanging thing. IN CONCLUSION—Before me you have doubtless found that what I have said there is nothing new. That is true because wisdom of life is very old. You have acquired a great deal in way of scientific knowledge in last century, but we have added little to the wisdom of human life. If you doubt this, read the Book of Job and Proverbs, the Logues of Plato, the Discourses Epictetus, and the Meditations Marcus Aurelius. Chesterfield Letters to His Son were an interpretation of this same wisdom. My contribution is meager and inadequate enough. Its sufficiency or insufficiency is unimportant. The important thing is that reflections constitute a testimony of the affection which I bear you and the desire I hold to help you. The extent of that affection you will probably never know until you assume the responsibility preparing your son for life.
