THE MEANING OF EDUCATION.
Eton Vice-Provost's Definition.
Slough, Dec. 16. "Education is what is left after you have forgotten all you evor learned," said the Vice-Provost of Eton (Mr. C. H. K. Marten) in pre- senting the prizes at Slough Secondary School to-day.

The plan is balloved to afford a needed response to a growing de- mand for something less inflexible. and more adapted to fundamental noods, than the present generally accepted scheme for higher educa- tion.

CANDOUR OF AN ETON HEAD MASTER.
"It always seems to me that my sex has all the artistic qualities, and you have all the practical qualities," said Dr. Alington, head master of Eton, to St. Monica's
"Mathematica and other aubjects may be very dull, but they teach concentration, and there is nothing more valuable than to sit down to some great problem and koop at it School for Girls at Tadworth.
"But you

"It gives you a mind capable of mastering things, which is far more important than the know ledge you actually get, and yet that knowledge is not to be despised. You really want to get the ground work of as many subjects as you Can. You will discover in later life that it is extremely difficult to and time to learn, but if you have a foundation you can build on it. "I believe," added the Vice- Provost, "that

There are not really any feminine poets, not any great feminine artists, and as to the feminine musicians, they spend their time, very rightly, in playing things composed for them by men.8 "You say, in reply, you never had any chance. I believe in the Middle Ages you had any amount of chances. All the time that people like me-the men were out hunting the hoar you were sitting at home in your castles or what- ever you lived in. Why were you not writing poems, composing im- mortal pictures? Simply because you could not.
Running The Home.
"Now," continued Dr. Alington. "let us go on to your merits, which are very great. I think you have all the practical ability in the world, and that you could govern the country far better than any
could do, Most bodies of governors are appalling. It is ridiculous to say women could not do it better.

"When you come to practical things it is hardly possible to exag- gerate the futility of men. The man goes out and labours in some futile way at some job, and expects to come home and find everything
A radical change in the plan of education at the University of Chicago was announced last month by the university authorities.

Whenever a student proves, in examination, that he has acquired what the university may docide to be "a general education," he shall be declared due for graduation, ac- cording to the scheme,
More Brave, Yet More Cruel Other points in Dr. Alington's speech were:
"I have never tried to teach girls, I have several daughters, but when I say I have never tried to teach them-well, my attempts have been so successful....
President Robert M. Hutchins predicted that many students would be able to finish their university course within two years, and that several in any given class "We men
