" r PLAINDEALER i«S©f Thursday, November 19, .*&• WISDOM ? By LISONARD A. BARRETT In every city and village of our great country there are splendidly e q u i p p e d b u i l d - ings dedicated to education. Colleges and universities are multiplying in number and endowments held by these institutions are increasing numerically and in financial value. Thousands of youth who graduate from high school or college face a stern world as they look for : Jobs. Some succeed in finding employment ; others fail and become discouraged. Some of those who find work hold their jobs; others do not. We ask why. Did not both have ' the same educational training? The Explanation for the success of one . group and the failure o| the other may not be so much a difference in .ability as in the power tfc discrim- • • inate between wisdom and knowl<- edge. Knowledge is a'splendid possession, but the proper use of knowledge is a more valuable possession. An old proverb reads: "Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore, get Wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding." , We have almost perfected the airplsne. Travel is comparatively safe by airplane. Aviation has achieved . a definite place in our economic and ttcial life. Scientific knowledge completed the dirigible, but wisdom has not yet taught us how to use it. It vAjM been assigned to a definite and ten port ant placedn warfare. Knowledge has taught us how to ihake deadly gases so poisonous that large areas of population can be exterminated instantaneously. The chemical laboratory furnishes ---JJfPfcases hut not the wisdom which ^properly directs its use for constructure ends. The sciences of economics and business have made it possible for men to accumulate large fortunes, but economics fails to furnish the wisdom which conthe use of that money for the benefit of society. Knowledge may increase both the possibility and the danger of crime. The more a man knows, the more dangerous a criminal he may become. Many of our most atrocious (primes have been committed by college- trained men. Knowledge is a prime requisite, feat wisdom is a princely reserve. Wisdom cries aload for the development of character proportionate to the development of mind. It makes character the ultimate aim of education. Wisdom deals with motives; Knowledge presents facts. Wisdom Asks the purpose of creative action : fr personal acquisition; knowledge i' lis interested in the problem created *nd in the figures themselves. Wisdom asks "Why?" Knowledge asks "How?" Both are important, but the Welfare of the social order1 depends inore upon the answer to the •'Why?" than to the ' 'How? " "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom." Timers TONY ENGELN AND OTHERS J Went over to see "Toddy" Engrln I the other day and found him and his.'f brother, Joe, busy as bees f\xinjr up ! the store and feeling: quite cheerful. Toddy has- regained his health and Joe is the same good old Joe of our boyhood days. We grot to talking about this memory and that memory and presently Toddy said: "Did you aver hear about the time that Uncle Tony and F. O. Ganswerit fishing down by the river? Well, an insurance agent by the name of Redman and myself, bound on a similar expedition, found the former party down at Bally CGre^s. The fishing was good and whenever Tony would catch a fish he would 'buy/ And whenever Gans would pull in a good one he would 'buy.' "Everything was going fine, when suddenly darkness and a 'storm came, up. Both went unheeded until necessity warned a hasty pull for the shore. Tony was rowing his boat with lusty, but slow strokes, when Toddy overhauled his uncle's boat and as they passed close and purposely, Redman reached over and slipped Uncle Tone's anchor just as they came tor a submerged barb wire fence. The! wind was howling a gale and the firsts drops preceding a down pour came. "The jokers reached shore and hustled under nearby cover where they lit a lantern. When they got back to the shore they could see Tony toiling away at his oars, still pulling his long stroke and getting no farther fast; the anchor securely snarled in the fence. "The rain came down in torrents and poor old Tony, who was pulling against the wind, was about 'bushed.' The boys walked slowly away- with the lantern, making Tony think he was being blown out to 'sea.' 'Help! Help!' he cried, so the pranksters had to rescue him." "Hinke" Meyers and Mikie Engeln were very good friends, but when they could not find a common enemy they fought each other. Tony Engeln, Mikl's father, took great satisfaction in coloring his clay pipes by careful smoking.

Monticello, the beautiful, mountain-top mansion designed and lived in by Thomas Jefferson, are many examples of this statesman's inventive turn of mind. In the entrance hall is an enormous clock which he contrived to tell not only the time but tfie days of the week, as well, and which was wound by a huge crank, from a ladder. In Jefferson's own bedro<yn he had the bed so made that it could be raised on ropes and pulleys, and concealed in the ceiling when it was not in use. This gave him more space in the room for his work table and chairs. Perhaps it was the first roll-away or in-a-ceiling bed.
