w Sheldon stopped short on the
% path to the cottage, and looked
back. There was an old half-sunk
pier at Dexter's Landing. One side
sloped almost to the water, but the
other was high and safe on Its pic
turesQue piling, stained green by the
tapping river.
A figure in pink was perched at the
far end OF the pier. Nina never wore
pink. She said 1t was ordinary. Nina
gowns were all in pastel tnts. Also,
the figure wore large sunbonnet. Nins
said that sunbonnets were ordinary
too, and topped her own pretty blonde
curls with an airy creation in chif
fon and tea roses.
Therefore, taking these points into

why Not Learn English.

1t Is well to be able to read and
speak one or more foreign languages.
But in the agitation for bringing about
this laudable Culture Is it not being
overlooked that knowledge Of ones
native tongue Is also well, Is indeed
more important than knowledge even
of French?
Not all Of us will have French Wallets
or maids. Not all of us will need to
read German philosophy and history
and science that can't be got in trans
lation. Not all of US will sell goods to
Spanish-speaking peoples who have NO
money to buy goods with and no need
for goods. But all of us will have to
read, write and speak the English
language, and how many of us will
ever be able more than to read, write
and speak it.
There never was such language as
the English, especially since We Amer
leans have got at, 1t with explorativt
and inventive minds. To know how
to pronounce it's wonderful words, t.
understand exactly what they mean, t.
have a large and well selected stool
| of them in our neutrality-suspicious. Is
| liberal, all-round education, one tina
no man or woman could have withou
being justly noted everywhere as
person of superior intelligence.

had 1t, too. Wallace had it worse. He
wanted to jump of the lighthouse pier

he changed his mind. They all tell me

Sally nodded contentedly. Tell them
a lot of fairy tales about how lovely
she has always been, and how she
saved my life three or four times, and
never told lie, and won't use powder,
or curl her hair on an iron, or any
thing. And they keep on liking me
until Nina lets them fall over and af-
ter that they come and l sympathize

With how many people does the
business Of life mean literally the get

OF philanthropy, perhaps, and would
give something to humanity as well
as take from it. But with how many
of us does the idea of giving come first
and that Of getting take second placer
Moneymaking Is the first great pur-
suit-in this country, at least. And
the fact is showing itself even In the
colleges. The Princeton Alumni Week
ly calls attention to the fact that in
this years freshman class, which con-
tains over 400 students, the number
Of men entered for the degree Of bach
elor Of science considerably exceeds
that entered for the degree Of bach
elor of arts, The Weekly notes that
the scientific department at Princeton
now, for the first time in the history
Of the institution, is larger than the
academic, and explains this condition
of affairs by saying that many young
men enter the scientific course with the
definite purpose Of slipping out Of 1t
after sophomore year by taking all the
academic electives Of senior and Junior
years. Unprecedented observers will

in the scientific departments Of uni
versities as evidence Of the growth Of
utilitarian views Of education. The
