More Additions.

Additions also Will be made to the
following schools. At Kendall, four
rooms; at Usage. four rooms; at Irv-
ing. six rooms and an auditorium; at
RiverNiew, six rooms and auditorium,
Horace Mann, two regular classrooms
and kindergarten classroom A
manual training, domestic science and
domestic art department also will be
added TO this school. The attendance
at Horace Mann is among the largest
OF the grade schools.
These new buildings, and the addi-
tions TO the present buildings, will be
a wonderful advantage to the teach
ers in handling their students. For
several years the work OF the teach
crs as we'll as the students has been
greatly hampered by the cramped
quarters.
The new SS0O.O0O high school build
ing for which plans are now being
drawn will not be completed in time
for occupation the next school year.
A final decision on a site for the new
building is expected to delay the work
somewhat Opinion over the site
seems 10 be about equally divided and
thus far the board OF education has
not gone on record either for or
against the present site II is expected
that the final adoption OF a site will
be left 10 a vote.

SAVED BY AN INSPIRATION
Presence Of Mind Of French Soldier
Saved HIS Life When SituatIoa
Seemed Hopeless.

In Napoleon's campaign In Russia
one of his generals, Philippe de Segur,
had peculiar adventure with band
of Kalmucks. The Kalmucks are wan
dering tribes of southeastern Russia.
They are fierce warriors, and their
; light cavalry forms an important part
of Russian armies De Segur's pres
ence OF mind saved him from being
killed by them when the most desper-
ate fighting could not have done so.
The French had attacked body Of
Russians and put them to fight, when
Eegur suddenly discovered that he and
few French dragons had become
separated from the French army and
were being carried away with the re-
treating party.
He and his men were surrounded by
band Of Kalmucks. The situation
seemed so hopeless that the men gave
themselves up and, disregarding his
orders. passively allowed themselves
to be struck down. De Segur deter
mined to sell his life dearly and con-
tiued to fight. A Kalmuck lance struck
him from his horse. He jumped to
his feet and. getting behind his horse.
continued the struggle. It was hope
less contest, however, and in few
moments he would have been killed
had not q happy thought occurred to
him.
The Kaimuck leader, fine-looking

were carried away with the fury OF
battle The expression on his naughty
countenance indicated that he scorned
to murder vanquished foe, and from
time to time he called, Nikalel
Nikale!"
De Segur guessed that this was an
order to cease fighting. He shouted Inn
periously to the Kalmucks that sur
rounded him, "Nikalel"
Immediately the fury died out of
their faces and they paused, motion
less with establishment. Their fury
once checked, Segur's life was saved
by their chief.
He learned afterward that the word
meant DO not strike" and that while
the impetuous Kalmucks had not
needed the command of their chief,
they were puzzled and disturbed at
hearing this word from one whom they
supposed to be an enemy.
De Segur was kept prisoner until
a peace between France and Russia
was arranged some months later.

Aerial scouts.

During the present war. the aero
plane has proved very useful In scout
Ing; indeed, the heavier-than-air ma
chine Is generally admitted to be SUI
perior to the airship for spying out
the position Of the enemy. The aero
plane is less conspicuous; it is faster;
Il makes smaller target: It costs al
most nothing to make in comparison
with dirigible balloon, and 1t can
ay at higher altitude. Sir John
French pays high tribute to the aero
plane scouts in one Of his interesting
reports on the campaign In France.
sOne of the features of the campaign
pm our side has been the success OF
The Royal Flying corps. In regard to
the collection Of information, 1t is I'M
possible to award too much praise to
pur aviators for the way they have
carried out their duties, or to over
estimate the value OF the intelligence
collected, more especially during the
recent advances" For the 20 days
that ended on September 10. the Eng
glish aviators averaged nine recon-
noissances a day of over hundred
miles each.--Youth's Companion.

THE CLAWS OF ALMA MATER
What Happened to Bill Smith and Some Other
Fellows With the Same Name.
BY BURTON KLINE


At least by hoarsay, if not by experience,
"A everybody knows the startling revelations
that befall when you look at the simplest
drop of water-espeCially Philadelphia water
through a microscope. But water is not
the only simple substance to reveal hidden
wonders. Take Harvard University, for eX-
ample. On the surface Harvard wears even
better than the usual divine smile of Alma
Mater. Under the microscope she confesses
to traits of character that would have dis
graCed Semiramis. Alma Mater has benign
face, but she has also cruel claws. All col
leges have turned out distinguished men.
Other men, worthy fellows, they are as stead
lily driving to suicide. Read on, if you don't
believe this. Have a look through the micro
scope and be convinced.
Young men come to college in what is cour-
teously called the formative state Their
minds as if packed in boxes. No one,
not even the owner, knows definitely what
is in each box. College exists to pry off
the lids and liberate the contents Some of
the lids never get pred off in college. 1t
takes the heavier hammer of the real world
20 knock them Off Most of the lids come
off readily. A few of them fly off of their
own accord, The minds within them leap out
at the first touch of the college hammer.
They begin taking the prizes. They get
elected to class offices. The faculty, regard
Ing them as happy results of their shaping,
single these minds out for favors and hon
ors. Fame, at least within the college, has
come at once to these chaps. That is to say,
the college has already begun to practice its
crueltics on some of these poor devils.
Because the four years of college are not
a long enough test. College cannot avoid
sometimes cruelty encouraging the wrong
man. One chap it may discover, by every
test, TO be a second William Shakespeare.
1t tells him this. 1t carefully but proudly
prepares him for the responsibilities the
plnnacles and pitfalls of being another
Shakespeare. Then he goes out into wait
ing world, which is apt to bury him as plain
Bill Smith.
This is rough on William. Bitter and
sometimes tragic disappointment is his lot.
Some years ago one of these William Smiths
shone brilliantly at the greatest of our col
leges No Cambridge tea was complete with
out his presence His epigrams and pthy-
grams were daily banded about the college,
and even beyond 1t, By every appearance
he had only to step out into the world, take
a firm grasp of things and Immediately be
President, a great poet or railroad mag
nate, Today he Is probably the most accom-
plished member OF the /. w. W. fraternity.
No doubt he regards himself as a sincere
and impassioned reformer, In reality he has
simply formulated a philosophy to explain
his failures and express his personal disap-
polntment and bitterness. College had
cruelty encouraged, overencouraged him.
Alma Mater has SCARED him with her claws.

No Right 10 Dictate

TIME DAGBLAD. vocing the sentiment of
i Sweden, declares editorially that the
Swedish people will never submit to Great
Britaln's assumption that it has the right
to dictate just how much of any particular
goods Sweden requires for it's own consump
ton. or how much of such goods she will be
permitted to import"
II is for Great Britain. II she can, to
blockade the German Baltic harbors and so
shut them off from commerce with ada
cent ports. But Great Britain cannot expect
the United States to acquiesce in the dis
ruptive doctrine that her neutral trade to
Sweden must be subjected to quantitative
analysis by British ships. 1t is enough for
us TO show that we have legitimate orders
for our goods from merchants in neutral
ports. What thereafter becomes of these
products is none of business. II is for
England to prevent them from reaching
Germany If she can.
Great Britain, unable to blockade the Bal
tic ports, has in effect instituted a paper
Blockade OF the neutral ports of Europe.
She is penaIlzng neutral commerce and
seeking to strike Germany through other
nations not at war. II is an arrogant as

nation can accept. There must be no in

BE a Good Citizen Tonight

EFT every citizen of Philadelphia do his
IL duty tonight by taking part In the mon
ster demonstration. A city is UP in arms
whole people reverting to methods of older
days that their representatives in Councils
may be estopped forever from pleading igno-
rance OF the public wishes. Take part In
this ultimatum of the citizenry that you may
boast of it to your children and their
children
For let no citizen imagine that great
outpouring is unnecessary. There are wary
obstructionists about. even If a storm OF
protest has swept them temporarily into
their holes
There still are Councmen who must be
whipped into line one gentleman, for in
stance, sagely announces that he does mot
understand rapid transit" although the air
has been full of little else for months An
other says that he has been out of town and
knows nothing about it, still another talks
about what he will do "f plans are made by
March," as if the plans had not been pub
lished months ago. No, nothing must he
taken for granted. There is obduracy to be
overcome, and the public must speak tonight
in a voice so freighted with determination
that no group of men will dare defy it.
There is but one issue. That Philadelphia
shall have rapid transit and universal
scent fare has become civic passion which
cannot be denied and opposition on the main
proposal has been hamstrung. The OBJ
structionists still cling to the hope, never
theless that they can delay the beginning
of construction full year by postponing the
election until June. March or June is the
issue, the vital issue. 1t is to this point that
the meeting tonight must be directed Let
its verdict in favor of March election be
IL the demonstration approaches what is
augured in magnitude. For there is no power
in Philadelphia that can successfully resist
a program of the whole people, intelligenty
conceived and definitely brought forward.
1t is a citizens assemblage, and in it every
citizen should take a part rich and poor
employed and unemployed Let them march
by tens of thousands within the shadow of
City Hail. with purpose in view and one
purpose only: namely, that they be given the
opportunity to vote for rapid transit in
March, not in June.
The people have their lasso on rapid transit

man put his citizenship to the test tonight.
