Abraham Lincoln attained dis.inc-

Joan of Arc achieved distinction with

young men and women who are looking
eagerly into the future should remcm-
Der that God makes few such cbarac-

one Joan OF Arc in all history.
DIR. Brown-Sequard IL was who sage
ly remarked that genius is a nervous
disease with which few people are af-
ficted." That is naively put and
strangely true. The young people of
the present generation cannot learn
too soon that they who succeed in life
are they who tell. There is no uniform
ly successful genius save the genius of
labor. If we would succeed we must
trust no future, howe'er pleasant; let
the dead past bury its dead. Act In the
living present, heart within and God
o'crhead."
When there was great upheaval in
this country more than a generation
ago and large armies of men were
usual opportunity was presented for
men with natural military ability to
develop their talents. But out of the
chaos of it all there arose to the top
in the maelstrom of fame only the
trained soldiers of West Point military
ecademy. They were trained in the art
Of war. and their training demon
strated their fitness to command all
volunteers.
Many of the men of the south received
preliminary training at the Virginia
military institute at Lexington. To
that place proud fathers and mothers
from southern states sent their boys to
prepare for West Point; and until this
day the same plan is pursued. 1t is only

accommodate the gathering.
The annual meeting of the alumni
committee on the erection Of n monu-
ment to the cadets who fell at the battle

On the way back to Washington there
was some freedom of criticism of the
managers of the institute and of south
ern people in general for perpetuating
memories Of the civil war by erecting
statues, monuments and buildings to
the memory of confederate chieftains.
There was no partisan discussion. and
none of it was for publication, but the
subject was considered In a phiIosoph-
ical manner. One Of the gentlemen,
senator from northwestern state,
said: at seems to me that the people
of the south are doing themselves
great injustice. They are erecting mon
uments for their children to see and for
their grandchildren 10 study. All Of
these monuments will be humiliating
10 future generations, because they are
monuments of failure. Future genera
tons will have none efthe pride in per-
sonal achievements, nothing OF the
pride of comradeship which enthuses
the people Of to-day. To them these
monuments will be monuments of fail
ure, and in those days the people will
not say: God only knows which was
right"
Another senator from a northern
state said: II like to see the southern
people do just as they are doing. They
are cultivating military spiriein their
young people. They are educating
them for deeds of heroism. They are
teaching them to love their country.
If George Washington and his CONT
mental soldiers had been defeated those
people would have erected monuments
to their memories just the same, unless
prevented by British power from do
