STELZLE | 'The Dunce May Climb and the Star May Drop Our old friend Noah Webster tells us that a “dunce” an ignoramus and a blockhead, | | Some school teachers say a dunce is “a boy who'll never amount to anything.” And some of us older fellows) know how it used to feel to stand in the schoolroom corner and wear a dunce’s cap. Honestly, we agreed with the teacher then that we were miserable failures. But somehow or other we pulled thru, And it appe that other dunces have done even better. The United States bureau of education has just published a report on “school examinations and failures to pass. It Says: | “That the formal examination is no criterion for deter- mining ability is a conclusion abundantly supported by an examination of the school careers of men who have become famous. For example, Thomas A. Edison never could pass his school examinations, and when his teacher reported that e of time for him to attend school he was taken r returned, | “Charles W. Eliot, while president of Harvard university, once remarked that he would not have been able to pass the entrance examinations of his own university. Henry Ward Beecher stood sixty-fourth in an examination in grammar, while the boy who ranked first became a barber in a South- jern city.” | All this should be interesting, and somewhat consoling, | to the boy or girl who “failed to pass.” It doesn’t mean that those who win first prizes in school examinations fail in after-life, but it does prove that a dunce’s cap often is on the wrong head, and that failure to pass a school examina- tion won't keep a fellow from becoming a successful business man, a learned professional man, a banker, lawyer, farmer, inventor, educator, preacher, president. | Possibly it is that “school stars” fail in later life because their school successes keyed them up to a false notch of! self-confidence which discountenanced further effort; and,| jon the other hand, it may be true that school failures are a} |sort of tonic or spur which drives harder and faster to make! ‘up for a late start. | is | Rattlesnake lake, caused by seepage |Government, Too LETTERS TO TELE EDITOR) bhi ithid vana my GMBH A 2 aids manele se Pants” Are Now Threatened } « - er Say NEW YORK, Feb, 26—That the {hands by the war's sudden ending. men of this country will soon have| The clothiers advocated the dow to wear baggy trousers or “umbret- | I¢ breasted coat and the Prince Ak key trousers or “umbrel|) 0. ie means of usiug Up surplus Ja pante” was the intimation today | roth of tailors attending the twenty-third] According to the tailors’ views, the Annual convention of the National|time is coming when a taflor won't Association of Clothiers: |make a suit of clothes for a man ‘Thin abrogation of personal Wb-| without a paunch.
