Mr. G. E. Crawford, in submitting that education is a handicap in the rare of life, bad argued that life is not a race, but a scramble for success, in which edu cation is not good for the individual, though he agreed that a certain amount of education given to mines of the young may have value from a social point of view.

Lady Ampthill, on the other hand, claimed that frue education made overy individual swifter, mentally stronger, and more capable of taking place in the race of life. Speaking of the educa tion of students for the Bar, she said the eating of dinners in term lime at the Inns of Court was perhaps not its most helpful form, though it must be a very trying formi.

for most people it was a fat race, (Laughter.) If it was a steeplechase. "a great" many people never got over the water jump - (Laughter.) But that was what the race was for, and not merely -to-get a prize at the end-that almi

nation which the winner's grandson pawned. (Laughter.) Some might think the race was being ran for the fun of the thing, in which event they would probably sec. a number of others fall by the way-very likely the chief enjoyment of those who ran (Laughter.). It did not follow that "and" might, oneself start very well or get a good place in the end, but if one kept going" he would see so many come acropper that he really would not care who got the prize, (Laughter.) This, at any rate, was consistent with the philosophy of the introducer of the Jebale (Laughter.). He supposed that It was because he had never been to school or university that he was the only judge asked to speak upon this subject. (Laughter.) But somehow goodness knew how he had picked up some infor mation. After all," they must never mind the handicap or: the prize it was the race that mattered.

(Laughter.) A good deal of harm had been done by some of the education given at Oxford and Cam- bridge. He was sure great mistakes had been made in the "past by those who had known Greek too well-who had thought more of Greek than he dide- (laughter) and he could not help think ing that bis estimation of the Greeks was much bearer the right one than was |that " of "Mr." Gladstine. (Laughter.) When young people began to be taught to write some folk said, "It is a bad thing. Now they will go and commit forgery and get hanged. So they did. (Laughter.) But he was not in the least prepared to blame the education for the hanging. Then people were taught figures, and it was said they would be sure to make some bad use of them. S they did; they embezzled. (Laughter.)

Was quite sure that some- how, or another, there was misuse of figures." (Laughter) But he did not bleme education for that. Yet, while education might pot handicap the lives of those who received it, he was not sure that it did not handicap the lives of a great many other people by putting them out of their stride,
