The woman in whose house ] am

the field, he writes, told me in
tears this morning:
Since two months no news. We
do not know where my husband is.
The woman and her family do not
even know in what regiment the man
serves. That is terrible, The woman
wanted TO know now many French
had been killed I tried to console
her by telling her that many had been
made prisoners OF war And now she
has fastened every hope upon this.

There is one picture I will never
forget On September first we shot |
down a patrol of chasseurs; two men |
who were in cover were taken pris-
oners. When the skirmish was over
l went with one of the chasseurs to
where the officer in charge of the
patrol had fallen.
Il saw Immediately that the man
had died from a shot through the
heart. But the chasseur who accom-
panied me. and who evidently was
very fond of the officer. asked me,
with great concern in his voice:
Does my officer live?'
Il shook my head, saying:
No. he is dead
And then very touching thing
occurred The soldier fell to his
knees beside the dead officer and
prayed for long time. A gripping |

men stood about them in a ring and
in this circle rested the dead officer

was upon us; but through it we
heard the steps Of Death, who may

Smell um like heap drug store" said
the untutored savage. Men complicat-

his distaste. All hotels reminded him
of yesterdays meals. The theaters
smelled like old blankets-heap long

ried the scent of many memo wa

from automobiles and the sickly odor
from candy shop doors and gusts of
dead air from the subway kiosks, and

universities, the technical schools, the
secondary schools and the elementary
schools are to be co-ordinated into one
great scheme. mo one can deny"
said Mr.. Pease, that in the last ten
years a great advance has been made
in the educational system Of the coun-
try. However, our national system of
education is still not national. and not
a system" intermediate education is
to be placed within the reach of all
who desire ia complete and pro-
gressive system of education, provid-
ing instruction of an advanced charac-
ter. Salaries of teachers are to be in
creased. Baths. playing fields, nurs-
cries. gymnasia. medical inspection,
nursing, housecraft, cookery and other
domestic subjects are to be encour-
aged, developed and supported with
extra money from the national treas
ury. The compulsory school age, now
fourteen, is to be raised. Supervision
is to be extended over all the schools
in Great Britain. Upon this rock for

The state should look to the we'll
being of the children from a very early
age" said Mr.. Pease, even before
they are born. The education of the
young child is primarily physical and
not primarily intellectual" In this re-
gard, Great Britain has gone perhaps
further than any other European coun-
try in providing medical inspection,
nursing and meals for underfed chill
dren.
I'VE want to build" continued Mr..
Pease, "a road from the elementary
schools to the universities broad
enough to be travelled by thousands.
The state will have a profit in the
capacities of thousands which other
wise would be wasted and unrevealed."
Poor Secondary Schools.
The existing secondary school facili-
ties were sharply criticized by Mr..
Pease, who suggested that the "Acad-

description in a recent novel, was IAN

system" and a most discreditable one
