WEST POINT
By George Fitch

West Point is a military school where young Americans are educated
 at great public expense to look down upon the common soldier and refuse to , associate with him.
 It is the only real snob factory in the i country. By the time free born young citizen has spent four years in this school measuring the distance between
 a private and a commissioned officer with astronomical instruments he is quite ready to take a commission in the
 regular army and to disinfect himself
 whenever a private soldier comes near
 enough to him to clean his shoes. And vet the only difference between the two may be the fact that the fath-
 CT of the private didn't have pull with his Congressman.
 There is great distress in military quarters because young Americans
 rush out of the regular army faster
 than they rush into it. Yet we should : take pride in the fact that very few American young men can be persuaded for SIS a month to accept a job as an , inferior animal.
 Besides being taught aristocracy in
 its most deadly form, the cadets at West Point are given a thorough in
 struction in mathematics, the sciences, military tactics, horsemanship, bed making, housewifery, dancing, uni form wearing, glove-cleaning a d

AUTUMN REFLECTIONS

The farmer hauls his wheat to town and puts the plunder in the bank; the grass is turning sere and brown, the sunflowers shriVel rank by rank. By day there is a golden haze by night the heavens glow with stars; and agents chase me all my days, resolved to sell me motor cars. The maple leaves begin to fall, they've had their little passing day, and on the crumbling garden wall the vines are showing dun and gray l am in spired to effort new, I feel that l could write a pome, but auto men obstruct the view they form ring around my home. The birds are chirping in the trees, as though great projects were in hand; they'll shortly leave such scenes as these. and fly to some far southern land. But auto salesmen are a bar they hang around the whole day long, each boosting his unrivaled car, and keep my mind from Art and Song The wind to northern quarters shifts, and walls at night with demon mirth, and soon the snow, in mighty drifts, will lie upon the frozen earth. Then to my window they will come, the auto agents, un- dismayed with frosted ears and fingers numb, and bone me till they get my trade.

DON'T RUST OUT

 Everybody that d well constructed piece of machinery rusts out more quickly than it wears out. But not everybody is aware that the is true of human beings

 Many scientists indeed the belief that most of us live far below the level of mental possibilities They believe could think harder harder than we do, with helpful rather than hurtful effects health.
 This belief is based interesting periments and observations Especially significant the results of extensive statistical studes' which show that he worlds thinkers and work those who apply themselves less energetically
 More than this it has been found that when men have been hard thinkers and workers through out early life they usually able keep actively and effectively work in their declining years. For them old is robbed of it's pathos
 
 it would further seem that the more varied their activities tEe longer they able evade the whitening hand of Time and retain their facu- ties undnmed.
 The of the famous scientist, chow who lived happily and heaIthiv for more than eighty years is much point i1 this connec- tion. l cite it in the words of American phy- sican who had unusual opportunities for ooserv- ing Virchow:

 Besides pathology. he deeply interested in anthropologY, and in biological sciences, and his favorite hobby the practical care of the health of the city of Berlin.
 From the time when Berlin just after the Franco Prussian war. began grow of the half million provincial that great world capital that it became, Virchow had charge of the health of the engaged the farms of the city.
 Every phase of disease that occurred among the workers the farms and there thou sands of them with their families, reported Virchow. Every night, the last thing before he to bed he looked this report, if there suspicious made prevention of the spread disease"
 Commenting this the physician justly adds:

 Don't limit yourself single of intel lectual manual labor. You must 0 be sure main groove-the groove of your vocation, your life work. Work hard in it, but also work hard in other directions. Expand interests all you
 Do this and you will find that it takes far longer for you than it takes less energetic to rust out.

Psychology Of Practice.


The question Of short versus long
periods Of practice in training the hu.
man muscles for any particular kind

reaching application. Some interest.
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out BY Dr.. X. g. Lashley
Of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi-
ton Of skill In archery was selected
a. the subject Of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot I'VE
arrows with the English longbow per
day: another, twenty shots per day;
and the third. forty shots. The 70.
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only I'VE times . day
improved In accuracy with less e.
penditure Of time In practice than was
required by either Of the other groups
for the same amount OF improvement.
A report on the experiments says:
"The relatively greater efficiency Of
short periods Of practice continuing
for many days Is in accordance with
the results OF the study Of animals
and Of speech habits in man, and In
dicates that in training to muscular
feats, In both animals and man, the
length Of practice periods required 10
