BRYAN'S ILLUSTRATION
OF EDCCATION's VALUE

What would We do II We should
see a father deliberately cut on one
OF his boys arms?" asked William
Jennings Bryan in recent speech.
And yet the great Nebraskan right
ly went on to say. In this day. when
no illiterate man can successfully
compete with an educated one In
anything. q father who cuts on one
Of mis- boys arms. sending him into
life with only one arm instead OF
two, would be doing his child no
more serious an injury than the
father who deliberately neglects to
give his boy an education. The
smile is a good one indeed, and one
that We wish to emphasize. A mans
physical strength Is not even half
his strength in the world to-day: an
education counts for more than half
in every line of work in farming
and In everything else. In the fierce
industrial struggle OF to-day a
strong, Well trained body may be
compared to ones left hand. but a
strong, well-trained mind is ones
right hand. In cutting OFF your
boys chance for an education.
therefore. II Is almost as II you were
cutting on his right hand.
ITS mighty poor sort OF law
and civilization" Mr.. Bryan con-
cluded. that will go out after a man
and compel him to pay back So he
borrowed. but will let him send his
own flesh and blood into life hope
lessly handicapped for want OF
schooling they might have had"
And In our opinion he is right.

00GS USED IN WARFARE
SERVE 4 GOOD PURPOSE
For Years the Canine Soldier"
Has Served Faithfully
and Well.

What part dogs are to play in the
present war in Europe has not yet
been fully developed, but the re-
ports are that many of the armies
are using them. Germany alone is
said to have 5000.
In was of the past dogs have rem
dered valuable service. Great hounds
were used to guard the camps of
Rome. In more primitive times
they were formidable adversaries in
hand-to-hand conflicts, while to
come TO more modern days, Frede-
rick the Great and Napoleon held 4
high opinion of the value of canine
sentries.
Recent wars have served to en-
phasize the advantages which may
be gained by the use of the peculiar
qualities OF scent and hearing which
dogs possess. During the Russo
Japanese war the whole OF the Man
churian railway line was guarded by
dogs that gave the alarm and on
several occasions prevented the Jap
anese from crossing the line. Those
which were sent out from England
with the Abor expedition, y. W.
frontier, more than once prevented
the sentries from being rushed dur
ing night duty, owing to their geen-
er sense OF hearing.
In the Tripoli campaign their val
ue was frequently demonstrated,
while the war dogs belonging to Ma
Jor Richardson. the famous Scottish
trainer. rendered yeoman service -
the Bulgarians at the siege of Adri-
anoDle, where they were able to
give warning of attempted sorties
by the Turks. Some of Major Rich
ardson's well trained animals were
also used in the Spanish trenches in
Morocco, and were responsible for
the finding OF hundreds OF wounded
men who would otherwise have been
left to their fate.
At present most OF the modern
armies employ dogs. although nat
urally opinions differ as to the most
suitable type OF dog. The Russians
have adopted the Caucasian dog,
Austria Dalmatians. Turkey Asiatic
sheep dogs. France and Belgium the
smugglers' dogs OF the Belgian
frontier. while Germany uses dogs
OF the Belgian Airedales.
So far the British army has ignor-
ed the value OF trained dogs. though
the admiralty some five years ago
Instituted scheme for the use OF
dogs In naval stations ashore. Ma
jor Richardson believes that the
only really useful war dogs are the
Airedale sheep dog and blood
hound. The native courage and in
stinct OF the collie have been spoiled
because II has been "overbred."
