LORD BRYCE ON READING
Only Literature That Stimulates
Thought, He Considers, Is
Worth Consideration.

Lord Bryce. speaking In London on
n popular occasion just before the
war, said what the schools and uni.
versities ought to do was to cultivate
the habit OF thinking They spent a
good deal Of time on reading, espe.
cially on reading newspapers, but that
did not mean thinking. They spent a
great deal Of time on business, but q
great deal OF business effort was com.
pnratively mechanical and rule OF
thumb.
What he meant was something diff
ferent-thnt they should apply their
minds to questions which did not con.
Germ their business. but in which, as
good citizens and intelligent human
beings. they ought to be occupied,
Public Opinion says.
There was good deal Of fiction well
worth reading, but no work Of fiction
was worth reading If it did not set
them thinking, and unless It was a
book which contained vivid character,
reflections and suggestions, which
were worth pondering over, and pic.
lures of manners of society, whether
of old times or of today. Anything
which stimulated their thought was
worth reading. If one cultivated the
books which stimulated the habit of
thinking one had source of pleasure
that went on continuously throughout
life.

War Makes chanuea.

A curious coincidence Is reported
from South Africa, where General
Smuts, as minister OF defense, is al.
ranging for the defense of Port Mol.
10th and the copper mines at Ookiel
against possible raid from German
Southwest Africa. 1t was in this dis
trict that General Smuts himself led
most daring raid In the last weeks OF
the BoeT war. He suddenly appeared
out of the desert country to the east
at the head of mounted force and
summoned Ookiep to surrender. Colo
mel Shelton successfully defended the
little town, but the Beers destroyed
the railway TINT connects 1t with Port
Nolloth and did some damage to block
houses. A relief force from Port Mol
10th raised the siege and a few days
later the dashing Boer leader himself
appeared at Port Nolloth to join in the
negotiations for peace.

edges that 1t counts on these repre-.

abroad but who must know what other
countries are doing educationally.
