"Heroism in Everyday Life" is the
title Of n suggestive article by s. Weir
Mitchell in the current Century Maya
zine, embodying the results Of an in
quiry instituted through n newspaper
clipping bureau into published accounts
Of heroic conduct involving the risking
Of one human life to save another from
death or danger. The records secured
in this way, necessarily partial and in
complete, numbered in ten months 1,163,
which. when sifted down by a process
Of exclusion, cutting out those inspired
by special relationship. left III exam
pies Of men, women and children who
took grave risks to save persons in
peril without any selfish object what
ever. Classified still further, the ex-
hibit disclosed 25S attempts to save
from drowning, 1914 efforts to rescue
from fire, 81 acts Of s~elf-devOted cour-
age on the part Of engineers, brakemen,
swltchtenders or railway employees, As
instances where persons not in the rail
road employ made like efforts to save
the lives Of children, women or drunken
men from the swift approach of trains
and a miscellaneous list numbering 156.
While DR.. Mitchell discusses instruc-
lively the lessons and conclusions to be
drawn from the statistics he has gath
cred, we wish here to draw attention
chiefly to the hidden heroism of which
these records afford but a glimpse. Self
sacrifice or unselfsh devotion manifests
itself usually In forms that avoid pub
licitt. Brass band charity that advertises
itself by ostentatious contributions to
public institutions is really overshad-
owed by the i~nnumberable instances in
which much-needed help is privately ex.
tended to suffering humanity, conform
ing to a conception of personal duty.
The endowment Of colleges, libraries
and schools, with a view to perpetuating
the name of the donor, while calling for
commentator and encouragement, Is
not to be compared with the devotion
required to forego educational advan-
tages in order that a sister or brother
may enjoy a course at college. So in
the examples Of strikingly heroic con-
duct, the heroism is largely the product
Of the opportunity. and the very fact
that courageous gallantry is so often
exhibited when the helpless are in i'm
minent peril is best evidence of the ex-
istence of a hidden army of heroes who
stand ready to go to the front whenever
their call comes.

other customs Of foreign peoples. This
has been especially true with regard to
the countries OF Central and South
America, our heal n%eighbors and friends,
and we have undoubtedly fallen far
short Of what we might have accom-
plished in trade in those markets be-
cause we have not equalled our Euro
pean competitors in catering to their
pe~culiarities.
But If the rule applies to the Latin
American markets, WI Ting-fang does
not too much emphasize it with regard
to a people Of such marked popularity
and so %immOvably set in their ways and
prejudices as the Chinese. The door to
the well-nigh illimitable market of 400
100000 of people there is opening. Trans
portatiOn is solved on a basis of great
advantage to Americans. The sole fur
Their condition Of success lies in conform
ing to the advice given by the former
