The tl,iHss near by, not things afar:
Not what we seem. but what we are
These are the things that make or break,
That give the heart its joy or ache
Not what seems fair but what is true;
Not what we dream, but good we do
These are the things that shine like gems,
Like stars, ia Fortunes diadems.
Not as we take. but as we give;
Not as we pray, hut as we live
These are the things that make for peace,
Both now and after Time shall cease.

The SchooIboy
Paganized, Not Feminized.
A college professor who has published
many articles in regard TO character
building in children, and who. owing to
the fact thnt his writings are sypdicated,

cannot be justly charged with excess of
amability or as lacking in initiative. In

Everywhere is II so manifest through
the rapid increase of crime that there
is a fatal lack in the system of public
education. that various clubs and con
crosses of women, as well as educators,
are demanding some definite training in
morality. And not only may it be said
of the boys of the country, but of the
men as well, that there is need of edu-
cation in the moralities, as distinguished
from the holder virtues, our municipal
offices having become in the popular

actually bywords for swind1ing of the
most vulgar kind. Certainly very
large proportion of men in this country
do not scruple to take Advantage of the
individual, or the public, if it can be
accomplished without detection and the
result is that our reputation for integrity
IS none too high-which circumstance,
however, does not prevent our sending
missionaries to convert the heather (so-

evidenced among other ways by the pas

politician may shirk the consideration
OF public questions that affect the well
being of the community; NAV play the
part of bully to the weak: may encour-

fact that he can be depended upon not

considered to outweigh all his other
questionable proceedings. As thieving.

Is. of course, most primitive virtue,
and it would be nothing short of dis

The college professor is surely mis-

are concerned. Rather is he being pa
