He would have been plucked. What then, he asks, is education, and" what is the use of it? Is it to load the mind with inessential facts which can be shaght, if needed, in the reference books, or is it to awaken in the mind an excite ment atd sense of enjoyment which will conquer intellectual apathy and produce a lasting effect of discipline and improve ment? We think that most readers will agree that education should not be framed to store the memory with unrelated bits of knowledge, but to quicken the intelli gence and educate the mind, as it were, to educate itself.

So Pun, an employee of the Hongkong and China Ga Company, was charged with stealing 33 barrels of tar, the pro- perty of the Gas Company; and was farther charged with making false entries in the account book of the Gas Company, with intent to defraud.
The party is composed of different political groups, comprising:-
Mesars. H. Higuchi, leader of the party (Kerseikai), S. Hurozumi (Seiyu- kai), M. Koya (Sinsei Club), Y. Ikeda (Seiyo Honto), D.-Ishiguro (Kenseiksi), T. Shimasue (Seiyukai). The party is accompanied by Mr. M. Okhi Who is the secretary of the Japanese House of Re presentatives.
The delegation will continue their homeward trip on the same steamer, and in view of the brief stay here of the Ai Maru no definite programme of entertainment has yet been arranged. Should they stop in the Colony for some days, the Japanese community will un- doubtedly be active.
