in his third year he will devote himself t6<Econonrics'and the 
ethics of individual and social life. 
Thus equipped the young man ought to be ready to take 
his place in the lists either as a general practitioner in the 
science erf living or as a specialist teacher of tlie j-oung. But 
all grown up people, whether employers or employed, will 
continue thoir study in Civics so that they mav evolve schemes 
for the amelioration for the lot of humanity at large, widen 
their interests and understand eacli ofher better. At present 
many live in. a dangerous state of profound ignorance : the 
sooner they realise the truth of R. L, Stevenson's famous 
phrase that " To be wholly devoted to some intellectual 
exercise is to have succeeded in life," the better it will be 
for each individual and the country at large. The Workers' 
Educational Association have already made it abundantly 
clear that engineers, miners and weavers not only find a 
humane education of practical use, but they have further 
discovered that all technical industrial training is secondary 
to this civic training as an aid to knowledge and wisdom of 
the mind. 
As a race we have hitherto refused to believe in education. 
Its uses have not been computed in terms of character, i.e., 
efficiency and happiness, but in terms of industrial usefulness, 
which is almost as bad aS the German system of training all 
its citizens to serve the State regardless of industrial rights 
and individual freedom. 
At last there are signs of a change of attitude. Continuation 
schools are to be made compulsory and teachers are to be 
recognised as worthy of higher social status and more 
adequate remuneration, but we have still toi learn that 
education to mean anything must mean a vital inter- 
ference with the soul, and neither State, nor Church, nor 
teacher, nor parent, nor any other authority has any right to 
form a people's mind or tamper with its personality except 
for the people's good. That is the main fact that we have to 
keep before us in our attempt to remodel our system of 
education. 
Short-sighted people have frequently asserted that dis- 
content follows in the wake of learning : " Educate the 
people" they say "and they will rise in revolt against their 
lot in life." If that lot is miserable, vicious and unhealthy 
it is certainly a good thing for the country that they should, 
'but it is a gross error to suppose that anarchy or discontent 
springs from any other source than ignorance. To know all 
is to forgive all, to know little is to forgive a little, to know 
nothing is to misunderstand everything. Once bring the light 
of reason within the reach of everyone and the result will not 
be discontent but happiness, not anarchy but peace. 
It is a trite saying, but both exphcit and true, and never 
more apropos or more necessary for us to reahse than at the 
present time, that " the proper study of mankind is man." 
This is the end of the whole matter and contains in a 
nutshell the complete theory of modern education. Happiness 
' and prosperity come through understanding alone, and under- 
standing only through a right conception of a word which we 
have hitherto intinctivoly disliked and mistranslated. It 
remains for us to change our tactics with good speed.

Might but unfold. 
And the revelation that we know not there

How much the broader, in a wide surprise, 
Would open bur eyes. 
When they we thought so lacking and so mean 
Were truly seen : 
Heavened around by a redeeming grace 
From time and place, 
In stature of eternity who trod —

Upon the followiiif,' all-important considerations, which 
should be the guide to selection, depends the vylue of 
a Service Weatherproof. 
(1) Dependability in all weathers. 
(2) Healthfulness under all conditions. 
(3) Freedom from cumbersome weight. 
(4) Distinctive, yet workmanlike, design.

and proofed cloths, has for more than thirty years success- 
fully materialised these ideals. 
It efficiently excludes 
steady downpours of 
heavy rain , continuous 
drizzle or saturating 
mists. 
Free from rubber, oiled 
silk or other unhealthy 
air - tight fabrics, it is 
faultlessly self - ven- 
tilating and fully satis- 
fies every hygienic 
principle. 
Is cool to wear on the i 
hottest day, yet, owing 
to the extreme density 
of the cloth, warming 
when the temperature 
is low or wind cold. 
Wonderfully light and 
free-fitting, it can. be 
worn throughout a wet 
day without the slight- 
est sense of discomfort 
ot fatigue. 
Distinguished, yet 
thoroughly practical, 
in design, it ensures 
the smart Service 
appearance, requisite 
to the soldier. 
Strong and durable, 
withstands rough wear 
and long Service with- 
out loss of its weather- 
resisting properties.
