of the planets matters very little to this country. 1t matters everything,
however, whether he has imagination enough to put himself in another
place, whether he can rule his spirit, whether he is capable of public spirit
and gratitude and is capable OF dscounting sensational lingo journalism.
Whether war, or the alarmingly increasing war budgets, shall Goa
tinue to threaten civilization and prosperity depend largely upon the way
in which patriotism is taught 10 the next generation. Patriotism means
such love of country as leads TO service of country.
No teacher who believes that war is inevitable in the long future, as
it was i'll the long past, no teacher who does not know how to teach the
method of world organization and the way TO peace can rightly teach how
the patriot can best serve his country m the twentieth century.
Who are the enemies of the United States? Thank God, nowhere does
one exist outside our own borders. Teach the child when saluting the flag
that he is honorng the farmer, the miller, the baker, the doctor, the nurse
and the health board, the fremen, policemen, the teacher, preacher and
mother even more than the man who makes guns or uses them. Teach
him that the men and women are fighting the famine, fire, disease, ignor-
ance and sin which are the only real enemies we have and ire vastly more
deadly and destructive than any foe that ever threatened us in arms.

humdrum thing, but that it may show rarest type of patriotism; for no
inspiring drum beat or buge call, titles, gold lace, medals or pensions
throw any glamor over the daily duty of trying to make honest and safe
and clean and beautiful the town or village where we live.

Coeducation

All institutions which rave been es.
cation should provide for the educa-
ton of both men and women, and it is
a decided gain to have this work done
by n institution rather than by two
and there Is no serious objection to
the education of men and women in
the same institution that has been es-
tablished for both, says Cyrus Nor
thrup, president of the University of
Minnesota, in Golfers. The boys and
girls grow up together in the same
family; they go together to the same
graded school; they go together to he
same high school; they go together to
university does not seem to n of
them any more strange or unnatural
than coeducation in the lower schools
has seemed strange. So far as the in
fiuence of the men upon the women,
or the women upon the men, is O n
cerned, ] am quite certain that the
result in general is good. The men
are made more gentlemanly, and the
women, while having all the f%rankness
n freedom of the home life and the
school life, never lose the refinement
which belongs to them as women I
have no sympathy whatever with the
what shall call it?-sentimentality
which seeks to s%egregate he women
and shut them in by themselves in
the work of education.

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York LIES Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
' pany announces that it's new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life com
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, 1t would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
, fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with it's management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
err than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments 10 policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were $21, $50, 761. 1t is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were s11, 1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments. annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
S10,4SO, 1876. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families of those who die pre-

Courtesy at Home.

We are all creatures of habit,
men and women alike, and the habits
and surroundings of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character of
both. The DOT of all bad is
selfishness when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
lags much in the rear, and drops so
far behind in time hat it disappears
altogether. "One cannot keep up the
ceremony and etiquette of society
when at home" True, for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep So
ciety together. but MOI courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be so much the habit with each of us
that it will become u second nature,
and therefore can be no more laid
aside than can an arm or a leg.
