Many persons are worrying, in print
and out of 1t, lest woman is making
q man Of herself" and in her eager
ness to grasp new opportunities is for
getting her immemorial privileges.
But there is an equally serious cause
for anxiety in mans Indifference to
certain Of his prerogatives. He seems
to be forgetting the pleasures that ac-
crue to him as parent. PA" Is no
longer "onto his job" He has turn
ed his responsibilities over to the
feminine side Of the house, and is
starving profound need of his nature
in SO doing. There has been rather
too much idealization of motherhood
at the expense of fatherhood. Not in
frequently it is the father rather than
the mother who is able to attain to
the vision of the family as sacred in
stitution. He may be more intimate
with the children than the mother,
and have depths of understanding and
tenderness which she lacks. But
whether he exceeds her or not in spir-
itual comprehension of his sons and
daughters, should he be shut out OF
that inner room and confidence into
which all parents and children should
enter by right of community of inter
est? No question about it, the Amer
ican father too often is out in the
cold. Perhaps he made the blunder In
stepping out there himself, but none
the less it is the business of the wom-
en- who are wise and the children who
are dutiful to see that he is brought
back into heart association with the

Five hundred students worked
their way through Columbia last year;
which is highly .creditable both to them
and Columbia. But we venture a con-
lecture that they did not do it by
standing around yelling after football
matches, or by imbibing cocktails.

There's one good thing about the
dog days coming so late; they are the
insect-breeding days. The flies and
mosquitoes when they begin their sea-
son early have a way of setting upon
peoples garments just before they go
indoors and of darting inside when
ever screens are opened for a minute.
When the insects begin their season
late there isn't a chance for so many
of them to get into the house.

work and make out the programs
share in this injustice. They have
spent no little time in the preDara-
tions of the programs, ana it is not
fair to them that they should waste
their time and energy on this kind
of child. 1t is not to the teacher
that the greatest harm is done, but
to the pupil who fails to perform his
work; and if he continues failing to
answer to calls he is weakening him
self by neglect of duty and is further
more giving poor example to his
fellow members.

And in some places l do harm,

length to deal.


Experience, like our schools, has its
defects, and its difficulties. The man
who has been taught by experience is
very likely to be overconfident To
know how to do a thing to be able to
follow up the knowledge at one by
doing it successfully, seem so certain
and undeniable power than it's pos
SCISSOR may well enough pride himself
upon it.
knowledge won in experience is
liable to be narrow. We must broaI-
en- our though through and with our
fellowmen. Our own experience must
be corrected and completed by their
experience.
Looking on experience as q school.
the first requisite is that we should
take a liberal course in 1T, that the
studies we pursue shall be fitted to
correct, extend, and sustain each 9TH
er. We may well fellowship each
other, and strengthen each other, for
we are all in one school, and what we
learn singly will be as nothing COM
pared with the success Of our COM

Why Not Have Boy Scouts in Our
School?

Today in almost every country we
are hearing Of Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts
who are they and what do they do?
The Boy Scouts Is an organization
set on foot by Mr.. Baden-Powell. The
idea first sprung up in the United
States, but the first organization was
formed in Great Britain not so very
long ago.
This movement has spread so rapid
ly that now there are 100000 of
these. There are 100000 in the Unit
ed States alone and the number is
steadily growing.
They rave a regular constitution
and each boy pledges himself to
abide by it. They must do their duty
as they see it all the time. They must
do kindness to someone every day
if the opportunity affords itself. In
short they must be true knights and
true gentlemen. They must be brave
and true.
Many heroic deeds are done by the
Boy Scouts such as saving the lives of
little children and old women. ever
turning aside to do someone Il kind
ness. Why can't we have an organ
ization like this and with such a pur-
pose? Let the boys only take hold
and we feel sure that some one will
help us to carry out the plan.
