France, where the tradition of the bodyguard of
the emperor still survives But even these relics
OF ancient armor are known to be serviceabe,
saving many guardsman from wounds Of saber
or lance or even high velocity projectiles when
striking at an angle.
1t Is true that the disuse of armor followed the
invention of better grades of powder but 1t must,
nevertheless. be remembered that, during the time
when armor was oftenest in Europe, gun
powder was In common use. During the latter
half of the sixteenth century not only cannon but
guns and pistols were seen everywhere. Never
theless armor continued to be used. 1t in
many cases the matter of expense which limited
the wearing OF armor; for in those days the cost
OF armor was high, very high. Clearly therefore.
man would be less apt to wear a really good
harness-one which might have cost the equiva-
lent of ten thousand dollars in the present pur-
chasing power OF money-when the protection 1t
gave him was not complete; he preferred then to
wear common heavy armor and in the end to
neglect wearing armor altogether.
When he found that his enemy kept away from
him, the range of firearms increased Later he
took chance of receiving wound.
1t was only during the Thirty Years war, say
before 1850, that cheap of very great
weight-almost intoerable-cam into general
use. Then, too, one must remember that there
was for a long time feeling that not
heroic. Even In earlier centuries many distn-
gu1shed ohcer thought 1t chivalrous to appear in
battle only partly armed. Thus read of his
toTlcal persOnaSeS gong into battle with helmet
visor raised, and OF such a knight Sir
Philip Sydney fighting bareheaded The feeling
that 1t is discreditable to wear armor is strong
even at the present day
The reasoning runs: 1t is cowardly to take an
unfair advantage of an adversary. Surely man
in a duel would not shirt of mail; SO why
should he be armored in battle, which is only
duel a larger scale?
Shields should be and already in constant
use. 1t may be recalled that the Japanese rede-
veloped this system effectively in their war with
Russia, especially in the capture of Two Hundred
and Three Meter HILL where they moved along
In front of the advancing infantrymen In earlier
times the Japanese sometimes fiat shield
slung upon the breast but always as a defense
against shot.
When one considers the value to the commu-
nifty of even one soldier. surely nation should
afford not to protect him best it can.
The descendants of individual may amount
to thousands in the course of couple of centuries
SO one can figure out what the human losses to
the countries now at must represent in the
future. II armor will save even a few hundreds
OF men it will certainly pay as a national invest.

governmental commissions will take up this mat

Principal Pickell Prepares
Data Showing Compare
tive Grades of Loafers and
Serious Minded Pupils.

To furnish evidence to show that a

school studens is an asset in doing
better class work, Principal Pickell
has compiled data from two groups
of students in the local school, compar-
ing on group, which he terms LOAF
ers," with another group which passed
in all subjects.
"The pressure during the last fifteen
years has been toward crowded school
courses" said Mr.. Pickell today. This
means the elimination OF study periods
in school. We have some students
who must do their work outside of
school hours, and l have been trying
to find out if they do it, and whether
it pays"
Twenty students were selected, who
received the unanimous verdict from
faculty members as being loafers, who
did not study in or out of school. They
were selected at random and were
neither the best or the worst students,
although some of them passed in every
subject. The period covered was the
last school term.
Loafers Below Passing.
These twenty loafers made an aver
age grade of TAI per cent. The pass
ing grade is rs per cent. They receiv-
ed an average of "a credits, while the
normal average is four credits. These
twenty students failed in twenty-nine
studies and passed In forty-eight, max
ing the percentage of failures 1915
per cent.
In the other group. twenty students
were selected at random, the qualifica-
lions being that they passed in all
their studies. The average grade was
84.9 per cent, and they received an
average OF a. credits,
BASED on the reports Of the teach
ers and on my own estimation, all OF
the students in this latter group were
serious in their work in school," said
Mr.. Pickell. Seventeen of the twen-
ty did some home studying, and
twelve Of them had regular programs
of home study. Three of them did not
study at home, but two of the three
carried only fifteen hours Of school
work. and had five hours In which to
study at school. The twenty stude(fs
averaged thirty-hve minutes of home
study each day."
