International Consciousness

basic principle in historic analysis is this that
all that any nation has done for the world-fOr the
human race-ves while all that it has done for itself
exclusively dies, except insofar that may be at
future time reflected in world service
It is IN this sense that still regard Greece and
Rome as living factors in the world-when speak
of the influence of Greece and Rome on the worlds
civilization they think of modern Greece and the
Italy of today but the Greece and Rome that passed
away many centuries ago and yet achieved immor
taty The contributions of the United States England,
Germany France, Japan and all the other nations to
the welfare and progress of the human race what
make them strong and establish them in history-not
what they may do merely to increase their trade pile
up money, add to their territory, their power, and
their prestige.
And those contributions of which The Herald speaks,
those permanent abiding gifts to the race pass national
boundaries easily do the air. the cloud, and the
light of and stars No nation has, can have,
monopoly of intellectual and spiritual light, any
than monopoly of sunlight and starlight
Before we humans begin to arrive at anything
like basis of settlement of the differences dividing
the nations, and restore peace there must be return
of international Consciousness The real leaders In
all nations must try to regain their old standpoint from
which they could catch gmpses of universal brother
hood. Not neutrality, much knowledge Of truth,
is needed.

The normal would not only draw from
this section, but would attract teachers
from all over the state, particularly

HOW TO GROW PRIMROSES
By BESSIE L. PUTNAM.

The best way to propagate prim- roses is from seeds. which should be sown in May or June, or as soon as the soil becomes thoroughly warm.
 The seeds are quite small. but are easily started by sowing in a box or a bed The soil must be sifted fine and of moldy consistency which will not bake or become hard. Press the surface of the soil smooth and level. SOW the seed evenly and thinly, and cover lightly. It Is a mistake to SOW deeply
 The ground must be kept moist and covered, that is. protected from the rain, wind and hot sun, until the plants appear It requires from three weeks to month to bring plants to the surface. then they must be care fully dusted with a little tobacco and sulphur mixed. to keep down the fungus and insects.
 The primrose requires moist, but not wet soil, and if the soil is all lowed to dry out before the plants ap- pear. propagation will be greatly re- tarded or entirely stopped
 Used in borders or in pots, the lit tie primrose is always beautiful, cheerful plant.

Then the command came and we rushed forward It did not seem possible I was killing hu- man beings It is the unreality that sastains men. Germans are not hu- man beings-only the enemy. For the wounded French soldier will tell you he loathes war and longs for peace. He fights for one object-a permanent peace, He fights to save his children from fighting"
