DOES THE RICH MAN PAY FOR THE EDUCATlON
Is OF HIS OWN CHILD?

may plan and sustain n school OF
he a mission enterprise, and can
never come to its highest power UNI
I'll energized by public sentiment and
public spirit.
Let us view the question at still
another angle. 1t is thoroughly un-
derstood that the education of the
child does not wholly come from
either the home In which he lives or
the school which he attends. A very
large part of the training received
by every boy or girl comes from his
environment among other boys and
girls. II u young lad never went to
school day. but had lived In a
community where other lads are
educated he will catch some of their
brightness and intelligence. Con-
tact between mind and mind cspe-
cially in the impressionable and
plastic period of youth is marvel
ouslv educational. Now In a COM
munity where the mass of the youth
attend public school. even those
boys and girls who go other where's.
or do not go at all will catch "A part
of the intellectual product which the
public school generates. In short 1t
Is evident that the only way for any
man, rich or poor, TO provide thor
oughly for the education of his own
child is to do his part in the educa-
ton of the entire community. that is
In sustaining the public school.

THE FIRST STANDING ARMY.
Historians Agree That II Was Made
Necessary by Building Of the
Chinese Wall.

To describe the war.like use of the
wall properly, n military historian is
needed, who can set forth accurately
and technically all the strategy In
volved and the weapons employed. In
default OF him, a lay view may help
the general reader.
The very conception OF n chain OF
thousands OF strong blockhouses.
linked by rampant, and stretching
over more than a thousand miles, be-
tokens a mind that can conceive great
measures. Vast resources were need.
ed to execute the idea and to defend
the wall when once erected. A wall
would need an army OF workmen to
erect It. an army of soldiers to defend
IT, The trowel might be laid aside in
n few months, the sword must be ever
ready a mere wall without men be.
hind It can not delay an invader for
day. The wall OF China involved n
standing army, and historians say It
numbered 3,Os0.OO9 men
There are signs IN the brickwork
that the towers were designed and
finished first before any wall was
erected. The order was not. there.
fore, wall first and then towers on IL;
but towers. and then curtain between
them In China and in South Africa
there was a time when II was found
wise TO erect rows of blOckhouses
near enough together to command the
intervening space by rifle fire. and nu-
merous enough to stretch for miles.
The line of Chinese defenses appar.
entity began In the same way; only, as
they had no missiles that could be
thrown far and swiftly, solid line of
wall became needful at an early
stage. We can imagine that each gar.
rison would be charged to build sec
ton Of wall on to meet the builders
from the next forts and thus the time
would not be idly spent in mere
watching,-W. L. Cell, In Harper's
Weekly
