.Ne1O Conditions.
CONSIDERING the exposures of dishonesty that
have taken place in high places of Late it surely ap
pears that Bias of Priene, right when he said
"Most men are bad" No doubt that during the time
of Bias conditions we're similar to those which now
exist. And the probabilities there were just as
many alluring temptations then there are today.
To the Christian in good standing the Ten Com
mandments suffice to safeguard him against the
temptations which drag so many to their ruin.
Today there certainly appears to be something
radically wrong It may be possible that the stand
ard Of honesty demanded is too far in advance of the
code Of ethics practiced by the people. This has
something to do with the appalling increase in moral
turptude. It is well to have high ideals constantly
before the public, but it is also we'll to have these
ideals closely in touch with the people before insist
ing on having them rigidly enforced.
1t is an easy matter to formulate higher stand
ards, much easier than it is to lnculcate these
standards in the minds of the people. What today
appears to be degeneracy and that most men are bad
is step towards evolution. The states and the
government passing thousands of new laws with
which the people are unfamiliar. These laws cause
new conditions to arise, and these new conditions
tempt many men to evade them.

Those Who Can Be Interested in Moth
ing That Is Not Game"
After an intelligent and watchful
mother had sent her children to a
famous kindergarten for several
months she withdrew them because
she found that they were being ruined
by getting the attitude of regarding
everything as a game"-that is, in
stead of learning through games how
to go about the serious business of
life, they were learning to approach
everything in the careless, make.
believe spirit of play.
There is hint in this for our col
leges. There is a hint in it for all
those who do puzzles, and play chess,
and ride to hounds, and fool with rings
and bars to develop their minds and
bodies. The world is cursed with tens
of thousands of human beings who
have the best natural advantages, but
can get up the steam of enthusiasm
only for some game" that is useless
in its aim, and no more useful in its
method than its corresponding real
ity would be.
1t is as certain as cause and effect
that he who takes play seriously will
take serious things playfully.-Satur-

Scotland Leads as Land of Twins.

Scotland is the land of twins and
triplets, holding long lead over her
sister countries in this matter. In
twelve months no fewer than 1925
mothers gave birth to twins, and
twenty-five presented triplets. Scot
land is among the few countries in
Europe where the proportion of male
babies is greater than of females
Striking an average, it is found that
there are about 104 males to every
100 females, but the surplus of grown
up girls is nevertheless large, as so
many men travel south, and apparent
