WELCOME THE BOYS.

TT HE Junior boys have made unusually good start
L this year in writing upon the topics. Not only
have they taken to the work in greater numbers,
but their stories better than BEFORE being full
Of snap and originality.
It has been commented upon several times that so
large majority of the Junior writers girls, and
fully wothirds of them prize winners. 1t is fact
but how it be helped when in just that percentage
boys fail make goodg The policy of recognition is
that the most entertaining original best stories in
general shall be given the preference. Owing to lack
of space all that merit recognition cannot be published
week. but the work Of the boys is sacrificed
just it is the work of boys but because in the
points that count for good reading matter they fail in
comparison with girl from the town school,
If the boys only keep up their present pace for
the rest Of the year, the girls may find it to
work harder than they have heretofore

THE EVER
LIVING GOOD.

Every year. in the fun tide OF
spring, AZ the height Of the sympho.
ny of lowers ana love and life. there
comes a solemn pause, and through
the silence the nation hears the lone.
~ pipe Of death.
Year after year lovers WANDERING
under the apple boughs and through
the clover are surprised with sudden
tears as they see black-veilcd figures
stealing through the summer morn
ing to a soldiers grave.
Year after year the comrades of
the dead follow, with public honor,
procession and commensurate flags
and funeral march-tribute from us
who have inherited a nations glory
to the heroes who gave It.
AS surely AS this day comes round
We are in the presence of the dead.
But not all the associations of this
day are sad; some OF them are tri-
umphant. eve joyful.
We seem to hear the funeral
march become "A pean. Our heroic
dead still live for us. and bid us
think of life. not death-of life to
which in their youth they lent the
passion and glory OF the spring.
Memorial day may and ought to
have a meaning beyond mere honor
TO the dead. 1t celebrates and sol
EMMY reafirms from year to year a
national act of enthusiasm and faith.
IL embodies i'm the most impressive
form our belief that to act with en-
thusiasm and faith is the condition
of acting greatly. To fight out a war
men must believe something and
want something with all their might.
So must they do to carry ont any
thing else to an end worth reaching.
Race calls for its patriotic devo-
ton, no less than war. And, stripped
OF the direct associations which gave
rise to it, this is a day when by com
mon consent we pause to become
conscious of our national honor and
to rejoice in it. TO recall what our
country has done and is doing for
as, and to ask ourselves what we can
do for our country in return.
The great French soldier, de La
tour d'Auvergne, was the hero of
many battles, but remained by his
own choice i'm the ranks. Napoleon
gave him "A sword n the official
title The First Grenadier of
France" When he was killed, the
Emperor ordered that his heart
should be entrusted to his regiment
that his name should be called at
every roll call and that his next COM
rado should answer, Dead upon the
field OF h%onor!" In the keeping of
his nation are the heatrs OF many
heroes; we treasure them i'm conse-
Grated ground. and when their names
are called we answer i'm flowers,
Dead upon the field of honor"
