Justice Ha-.-ki.ns, of London, makes the following remarks in reference u?,," subject which has been more-**-; ss vx p.oited in the Senate .d'Srtfi-g the recent discussion of Lodge immigration .. "limited education has ? t-. ndency Ito-Increosii ciimes involving cupidity and corruption, for an Imperfectly ed? ucated man; iXshonest-Iy inclined, is by hLs> training afforitJ.i assistance in pre? paring and carrying out his fraudulent Bvhcmca, v.tieitie, ?l.'i.e or in conspiracy with others, and in concealing his guilt and avoiding d Section." We presume Justice Hawkins refers entirely to those who are dishonestly Inclined. His position naturally places him in contact with the lowest classes of humanity and he se v- effect o-f "a limited education" only in the cases of 'those who use the knowledge obtained in school to ai-ii them in violating and eva'dlng the laws of the lan'di The em? inent justice has allowed his judgment ?to becomirf warped in- viewing gome iso? lated cases and he sees only the dark side of the picture. Instead oif present? ing to his mind the phasure derived by the workingman In the- possession of a "limited education," a thought mi the sutbje. t shows him the natural cunning of a professional thief accentuated and reinforced by educational attainments which make him niore< danger- us thuri he was before he acquired them. This is an unfair standard. No man should presume to judge ail men by em- small class of men. There is nothing in edu? cation (either limited or "broad") of it? self which tends to deprave u man. As a matter of fact the influences are ail in the other direction. To b. sure, even ?\lducalion will fail to save the man wil? ls born with the innate qualities of the criminal in his nature, but it is not night to take the isolate-ii eases furnish? ed by these men as an argument against "iim!icJI education." It is best to be w-.QI educated, but in many instances It is Impiueticab'.e. What is to be done in these cases? Are men to be ignoramus? es because they can't be scholars? A New York man bet that he could (drink a quart "f Whiskey. He su i.?! ed in drinking the fluid' all right, but a short while after lost all :r.t ;>st ir. .iirfhly things. In fact, the c r .ner has decided that a funeral will be tcessnry It is a difficult matter to work oneself -UP to the point of feeling much sym? pathy for an idiot who de'.ibeiatelj stakes his life on such a rldlculouc thing as the ability to swallow a quart of whisk y.
