The Termination of the schools
is a matter for contemplation. Sew
enty-six per cent. Of the teachers in
the United States are women. Many
boys go through school without ever
coming in contact with a male teach
er. My own son, now in Harvard,
never had a male teacher until he
went to college. There is a sacchar-
inc benignity as a result of the fem
imitation which is not desirable for
boys. Boys should not become too
domesticated and sissifed. There is
something wrong with a boy of four
teen of whom it can truthfully be
said that he is a perfect gentleman.
Eoys need a little roughness. They
need to give way to boisterousness.
Children in these days are petted too
much. 1t may be asked whether or
not there is come connection be-
tween the softness with which boys
are treated at school and the curious
outbreaks of hoodlumism which are
so frequent. - Stanley Hall, in Les

Old FrienGs Are Best.

What have I In heaven? And, b.
sides Thee, what do I desire on eartht
Psalm 1925.
This is a cry from the tortured
heart Of DAVID cry from one In
need to a friend indeed. Poor in very
truth is he who calls no man friend,
but poorer he who is no mans friend.
This would be a bleak world, with
out affection, and hence the Master
has established, as a primal source of
all solace, a fountain of love spring..
ing up ~perennially in Himself. The
fairest and most fragrant flower OF
that love is friendship. All genuine,
affection is inseparable from friend
ship. The friends we have tried and
not found wanting are the friends we
trust, and where the trial of friend
ship has been longest our trust is,
greatest. and SO old friends are best.
One there is who outdates and OUT
classes all other friends. He knows
us and He understands, and above all
He is willing and powerful to help rs.
He alone possesses the fullest equip
ment of a friend. He knew us IN the
eternities. He shaped events 80 as
to make US fit into the marvellous
scheme OF His universe. He cared for
US since our coming into all the be-
wilderment Of this creation. We have
walked erect or bent, and often have
We stumbled and many. times have we
fallen. Yet whether upright or PROS
trate the touch of the strong hand
of His friendship has been upon us,
even when In i~nsensate moments we
have struggled to fling 1t OF.
At all times, sick or well, waking
or sleeping, sad or joyous, His love
holds US like the clasp Of a mother
Others have-never has He-shut
door against US. He was no mere.
life saver, stirred by feeling or by
thirst for fame, or by hope of reward.
He was all He was to, US not because
He had pity on US, but because. He.
loved and wanted us. He is walking
by u side ever. He meets us.at the
turn Of every road. At every tick OF
the timepiece we>.can address our
selves to Him. Whether our feet are.
in the narrow path and we need cour-l
age, or whether we are fighting with
swine for their husks, it is always our
blessed privilege to appeal to this
Friend to keep us uncontaminated or
to bring US back from our w~anderings-
under the roof of the Father.
Such friendship teaches us our own
worth. If He values US SO highly, IL
He thinks SO much of us, to what
heights of manhood and womanhood
may we not climb! How pitiful to-
be surrounded by such an atmosphere
of love and not to live of its vitality!l
What fools we are to starve amid
such plenty! If we realized all this
we would not leave this Friend until
we had failed with every n else, but.
our prayer to Him for help would be-
as our breathing and we would dis
cover beyond doubt that old friends
are best and that Of all old friends.
He, the Ancient of Days, is verify old
est and best.-Rev. P. A. Halpin, st.

Courage.

How often do we hear the admoni--
ton, Keep your head above water"
The best way to fulfil the Injunction
is to keep the spirit above. Courage,
hope, what a a man not do with
these? What is he able TO do with,
out them? Courage is an elixir of.
life, giving power both to mind and
body. It strengthens the sinews, 1t
r~evivifes the spirit. It makes life,
indeed, worth living. ..,.
But" it may be asked, "how can
a person gain courage who Is NOT;
born with it?" .,.
There are two requisites: 1. He.
must believe that what he is doing
is worth doing. 2. He/must feel
that of all things in the world, it is
the thing that calls him. With these
convictions he is equipped with weap-
ons that shall level every obstacle,
make a path through every maze
for of these are born courage and
faith. &C.,. .
All common things. each days events,
That with hour begin and end.
Our pleasures and our discontents.
Are rounds by which we may ascend.

Relation of Alcohol to Social Service

But beyond personal and economic
considerations lies the welfare of So
ciety. The world is astir with striv-
ings toward social uplift. Kindli-
ness and h%elpfulness were new more
regnant than to-day. Yet upon every
hand we come upon the subtle in
fluence of alcohol as it contributes to
social misery and blunts the indi-
vidual's sense of social responsibility
so that he is careless of the effects of
his own actions upon his family, upon
public order, or upon the welfare of
the race.
