An lowa State College professor, says The Couutry Gentleman, who has given considerable thought to the matter, has worked out a def inition of education that is some what different from the usual run. Its merite are a matter of opinion. However, the idea may be stimula ting: "An education is the ability to make use of experience. The man with the greatest amount of education is the man whose reas oning power is so developed that he can take advantage of the greatest amount of experience, both his own and others." "Originally I had the idea that the information a student accu mulates was the thiug that was going to give him this advantage. But iu later years I have learned that for fifty dollars a inau can buy au encyclopedia set that con tains more facte than can be ex tracted from a whole college facul ty. So I have come to the conclu sion that a knowledge of how to apply principles and facts is real ly an important part of education." Most Able Governor In The United Greensboro Dailj Record, Mrfy 16. A Greensboro man was visiting recently in one of the larger citiesol tbe country when he met a man wbo is identified with a large organiza tion of impartial views and unpre judiced opinions. This man wbo waa in a position to speak with authority took occasion to call the attention of the Tar Heel to the good fortune of North Carolina in having Angus W. McLean as governor. '•We consider him" the man said in effect, "the moat able man hold ing that office,in the United States." Very naturally tba Tar Heel felt proud of his governorand such com mendation and praise coming as it did from a man who could not pos sibly have had any peraonal feeling in the matter, waa a point of much .gratification. Returning to Greensboro a few days later he took occsaion to pase on the remark of the "»»" who had prsiesd Governor McLean. Such an attitude toward the chief executive cf North Carolina is a matter of in teract and when it is found outside the immediate sphere of the Govern or's activity it is of still mora in tern*.

Moat any kind of fair could be held iu years past ind'tfie* management be complimented by the patrons for having the best ahow of any county iu the State. With tne advent of food roads and the automobile con ditiona have changed. Today neigh boring fairs are visited and compari sons made and it behooves local managements to pnt on aa good a fair aa any other in order to satiety iheir borne patrons and to attract othera more distant. More free attractions are being se cured each year for entertainment, and larger premiums are offered to attract mora and better exhibits in Se various departments. More en usiasm than formerly in ahown in arranging for larger live stock die play a, particularly dairy caitle and awine. ■ Some of the larger fairs are offering attractive classifications for these breeds snd are building addi tional stabling in which to boupe them. Greater interest than ever before is being shown in arranging race pro grams. Two race circuits have been formed within the State. The North Carolina Grand, with four members, and the Csrolihs Short Ship Circuit, with a membership of ten. Partes varying from M.00Q.00 to 17,200.00 have baen adopted, the latter amount being offered by esch of the four fairs comprising the North Caiplina Grand Circuit, vim Four one-thousand dollar Early Closing Stakes and Right four-hun dred Late Closing Krents Nearly one hundred horses have been enter' ed in the four one-thousand dolJw suites, sntriss to which piosed May first.
