If the schools help to form her character on strong and simple lines and to give her courage as well as sweetness, they do more for her than if they enable her to pass pug zling examinations on multiform diffi- cult subjects.
 Far be it from me to blame either girls or their preceptors for the great and foolish waste that is forever talk ing place in matters educational. Pri- marily parents are the people most in fault.
 The other day an advertisement ap- peared in a widely read weekly peri
 odical. which ran to the following eff feet. The words are not precisely
 quoted. but here is the gist of the ad vertisers Wanted"

 music. drawing and nature study" l The mother or the IlIlle IldlQ OI tSIl evidently expected that her child was

 study in addition to the usual | branches" These. at a rough guess
 may have been history, geography, English grammar, spelling, reading. penmanship. and possibly French or
 German. I was surprised that so grasping a mother did not require the college graduate who should apply for he danOhfar's n-

 adept in manual training, so that her
 child might receive initiation in these
 mysteries too.

 Avoid useless learning. Lifc is too full to be handicapped by needless lm- pedimenta. Time Is too brief to be mortgaged to ambition. Health Is too precious to be ruthlessly sacrificed.
 One or two subjects thoroughly as- similated are worth far more to cul- ture than a mere smattering Of dozen, and the effect of the first on character is much more enduring than of the second.

 Is there such thing as useless knowledge, knowledge which is In It. self rubbish, only fit to be slowed away in the lumber room of the mind?
 I suppose teachers will take excep- tion to the statement but I am more and more inclined to think that a great deal that they laboriously teach. and school girls laboriously learn. might as we'll be dropped wholly out of the cur riculum. We are all aware that what remains to us a few years after we have finished our school education is. so far as facts are concerned, exces- sively small What the schools have done, if they have wrought well, has been to give us mental facility and disciplined powers. The question Is pertinent whether for girls they do this in the best way.

whose love for the fatherland Is not SO
intense as It might be leave Germany
each year and seek refuge In foreign

This Ia amply demonstrated by the

orably discharged from the army, who
wish to keep up their military connec-

which the German populace entertain
for their army institutions.

100000 highly trained and efficient SOL

The keeping up OF army feeling and

after men have passed out OF the army
brings another 900, 000-the total
strength OF the available force being, IN
crisis, 5,000.O0 trained lighters
though the exact army force is given
at bO2b06 men, not including the one
