THE celebration of our national triumph
by the children of our schools, today, as
we have already pointed out, is the finest
honor that we can pay to our great Naval
Commander, because it gives to his cour-
ageous and mastery action its highest

are old or dead, should be taught to I'M
derstand the horrors of war. Too much
cannot be told them of the havoc, the
b1oodshed, the suffering; the physical pain
and anguish of the heart; the sacrifice
of ease and substance and even of pro-
gress which are involved in the arbitra-
ment of battle. They should be told that
war is so fearful a thing that no man or
woman should ever contemplate it except
upon the highest need.
But. then. they should be taught that
there is something so much worse than
an these horrors, that they become in
significant in comparison with it; there
is something SO much worse that the in
fiction n the endurance of loss and
suffering become a sacred duty and a
glorious privilege as the alternative to
this something which is worse than war
is National disgrace, the sacrifice OF
principle, oblivion of the generous calls of
human sympathy, indifference to wrong
and murder dome upon our brother citi-
gems, the worship Of money and luxury

above the ground to be out Of the reach
of bears, wolves or other wild animals.

mutton, and proceeded to look for a
mining section. Having found one, he
located a claim and proceeded TO test
it. After he had dug out few thou
sand dollars worth Of gold he thought
he would, as the French say, return
to his muttons."
His stay had been so prolonged that
the young men had become weary OF

imagining Dawson to be only few

to enjoy some of the pleasures met
