ONE CORN CLUB BOZ

A lot of grown folks might very
proftably study the work done by the
boys corn clubs of the nation and dis
cover how the youngsters overcome OBJ
stacles and march to success. The ac-
counts of the things done by these men
in miniature are most inspiring, some
of them approaching the pathetic.
One of the strongest lessons of per-
severance is taught by the success o.
Charles Stamp of Camden county, New
Jersey. This chap is only eight years
old, yet at the corn show held in his
county the other day he was awarded
the first prize for the best single ear
of corn, and also that for the best
five stalks and ears. That is some
thing for an eight-year-old to be
proud of, but that Is not the whole of
the glory with which the youngstcr
covered himself. Hear him recite his
problem and tell how he solved it.
They were afraid l was too little
to go in the contest" said the lad in
reading an essay of how he grew his
corn; but l wanted to try. When
got stuck l got my sister, harnessed
up to the cultivator; but, shucks,
was afraid all the time that she woult
ystep on the plants bet l could hon
die horse better'n l could a girl
anyhow"
How many grownups, Handicapped as
this small boy was, would have shown
the courage and resourcefulne ss tina
he did? Mighty few we are certain
in fact, We are strongly inclined t,
the belief that most of them would
have quit right then and there.
1t would be interesting to watch ant
record the future of Charles Stamp o
New Jer ey. He is of that class which
does tn ngs," and 1t is difficult t,
imagine any barrier that he woul,
not surmount if he retains the spirit o
his corn club days. And therein lie
the lesson that his elders may prof
ltably study.

Foreign universities are now receig-
ing some of the large private benefac-
tons for which they have long enyied
American institutions. Cambridge I'm

a chair of astrophysics; Bristol Uni
versity has had gift of 100000 from
one donor, $4,000 from another, and
$75O,00O from two others; GLASGOW has
been willed $4,000 for a research lee
tureship in medicine and $4,000 from
three other benefactors; and Leeds has
an anonymous gift of $4,000 for the
erection of school of agriculture. In
Germany, 100000 has been subscrib-
ed for transforming the scientific insti-
tutes at Frankfort-on Main into a uni
versity, and the University of Hamburg
is to start with an endowment of &c.
100000. In the case of Hamburg, how
ever, the money has been entirely ap-
propriated by the city.

EDUCATION NOTES

Night schools of cosmopolitan char
acter are by no means confined to con-
gested centers in the east At Galluo,
Mckinley County, New Mexico, the fol-
lowing nationalities were represented
in a recently established evening
school: American, Spanish, Slovenian
Italian, Servian, Austrian, German,
French, Danish, Swedish, Irish, Scotch,
English, and Cherokee Indian. Twenty
five different occupations were repro-
scented. in ages the pups ranged from
Is to 81. Many of them desired the
ordinary elementary branches, but
there was also strong demand for
such subjects as bookkeeping, short
hand, typewriting, Spanish, mechanical
and architectural drawing.

SHOULD WOMEN POWDERs

A woman's debating class, after con.
sidering the question whether tn
members Of their sex should use art
fical means to add to their beauty, de-
cided in the affirmative by a vote Of
Is to H. The question is a very fine
one. Naturally everything depends on
the way it is done.
An artist, now, uses paint with eau
ton. If he gets too much paint on the
canvas, it isn't art" and he is open
to criticism. If he copies nature sub
tly, he is generally commended Paint
ing the lily is almost equivalent to
chasing rainbows or sweeping the sLu
of the roof. Adding color to beauti-
full woman is in the same category.
To rogue or not to rogue-that is the
question. Whether it is better to add
a touch of nature, or go about with a
white face. Ay, there's the rub 1t ls
all very we'll for women with pink
cheeks to scorn artificial aids, but
when one lacks color the lure of the
rogue jar is very strong.
We haven't the slightest doubt that
Cleopatra used some ancient substitute
for rogue and powder. Otherwise her
shining nose would have distress I'd
her SO much that she never would hay =
been able to keep her mind on her
mailed Bacchus. OF course, it is far
better, as one of the speakers at the
debating class suggested, for women
to get out into the open and get their
bloom from the fresh air, sunlight,
and good food, but as a substitute for
this the use of cosmetics has been
handed down from primal Eve TO
modern Myrtle.
The essence of the whole problem
may be in the skill with which the aids
to nature are applied. The genius OF
a miniature painter is required to do
the thing right-to give just the light
touch makes the artificial bloom seem
part of the inward glow of health.
1t was suggested seriously by some
Of the debaters that girls need neither
rogue nor powder; that if they will
think beautiful thoughts they will be-
come beautiful automatically. But
what are those delightful young ladies
not blessed with thinking apparatus to
do?
