of the Dalhousie University Training
Corps will be held. One company,
that composed of students from the

the active work of training the corps.

magnitude as it's men are drawn not
only from the students at the Uni
versity itself but also from the Nova
Scotia, Technical College. Pine Hill
College and the Alumni Of Dalhousie.
Among those who will attend the
first parade this afternoon there will
probably be Colonel Rutherford, the

These two officers are keenly inter-
ested in the movement.
The corps consists Of six compan-
les, whose members are drawn respec-
lively from Law, Arts and Science,

the Alumni. Each company Is auth
orized to consist of SO men, but 1t
is expected most of the companies
will be over strength.

WHY DON'T you LIVE
WITH THE GREAT?

In the February Woman's Home
Companion, Charles E. jefferson
writes an interesting article from
which the following is an extract:
Our work Is monotonous. Our
sphere Is narrow. Drudgery and OBJ,
security are our portion. But IL the
days are drab and the world has lost
its sparkle, why not begin at one to
build library OF biographies? Why
not begin to live with the immortals?
Only half dozen biographies of men
gloriously great, II read again and
again, would put fresh hope into the
heart and heightened glory into the
light of the sun. For the lives Of
great men reveal to us the fact that
there is something In human nature
mightier than circumstances, that OBJ
stacles, however formidable, are never
quite insurmountable. We might not
be now preparing to celebrate the
birthday Of Lincoln II Lincoln had
not when a boy read and reread the
life Of Washington.
