that Easter, we climb, not as slaves

And so he bids us on this Easter day
to accept our valleys, for they lead
out into life; not alone beyond, but
now. The sliding stones cannot
plunge us over the brink, nor the
threatening rocks crash down and
crush out our lives. We have his word
that because he lives we shall live
also. Our feet are set securely upon
the road and we shall climb in safety
up the frightened way to the
goal.
1t is into our night-dark valleys that
the vision comes, for sunshine blots il
out. The valley is by day a smiling
thing, tempting to lettering among its
trees and flowers, and to dreaming
beside its singing brooks. So com.
pletely does it satisfy the senses that
it may even become a lotus vale OF
forgetfulness, to lure the traveller from
his sturdy purpose and beguile him
into indifference to the way that leads
to the plains of God. But presently
night overtakes him. Then he rouses

Second. Produce the corn necessary

safety.
Third. Produce the necessary oats
and other small grain to supplement
the corn as food. Pay attention to
winter grazing.
Fourth. Produce hay and forage
from some forage crop sufficient to
supply all the live stock on the farm.
Use legumes, such as clover, cofpeas,
velvet beans, soybeans and alfalfa for
the production of hay and to enrich
the soil with nitrogen and humus.
Fifth. Produce the meat necessary
to supply the people, through in

especially. Plan to increase, gradu-

A program of safe farming" for
the south is outlined in circular
which the United States department OF
agriculture has sent to bankers. bust
ness men and farmers in the cotton
states. The increased attention which
has recently been given to supporting
the people upon the land has already
resulted in much good, but there is
some danger that, with the price of
cotton rising, there will be a tenden-
c% for farmers to return to the old
system of cotton. If the people of the
south produced their own living, the
circular points out, it would steady
the whole system and keep the boat
from rocking The safety measures
recommended are as follows:
First. Produce home garden for
every family on the farm, the year

$2,76S,6OO,0OO! WHERE is IT?

This nation is doing the biggest out
side business in its history.
In the value of its total exports for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1915, it
beat the United Kingdom of Great Brit
ain and Ireland by $600,000,000.
We are, in fact, the biggest export
ers in the world.
We have sold abroad in the past
twelve months goods that have brought
Us the enormous return of S2,76S 800
900.
What has become of the money
What has it done for us?
The great sum which general bust
ness in this country was told to ex-
pect has certainly not materialized. 1t
could hardly have arrived without at
tracing somebody's notice. Business
men are still going cheerfully about
assuring each other that everything
is all right. But that is to conceal their
disappointment that things aren't sew
eral hundred per cent better.
About all the ear can catch of the
predicted hum of prosperity, which by
now should be deafening is the clack
OF few cartridge factories mad the
hectic cheers of the stock exchange.
What has come over the country ?
Has it lost its power to respond? Time
was when forecast of record crops
combined with record export balances
would have set wheels awhirl and
quickened every sort of business into
confident and sound expansion.
Figures prove that the nation has
immensely increased its trade. Why
doesn't such condition accelerate us &?

On With the Fight!

Someone told story the other day
Of an Indiana jusicet of the peace who
owned a farm. The Pittsburg Chron-
icle Telegraph gives the following
accoun One of his fences ran along
the boundary line of the states of
Indiana and Ohio Like others in rur-
al districts who hold that office, he
had an abnormal appreciation of its
responsibility and never lost an OPP
portunity to exercise his prerogative
of demanding that peace be pre-
served.
One day his son and his hired man
got to fighting on stretch of the
farm near the boundary fence, and
the Justice of the peace rushed out
and mounted the fence. Then, with
head cockced high and the air of one
who has but to command, he shout
eG: "In the name of the state of
Indiana l demand the preservation of
the peace!" Just then the fence gave
way under his weigh tand as he went
down with the fence topping over to
the Ohio side he shouted to his son:
Give him the dickens, jim; I've lost
my jurisdiction!

Could See His Mistakes.

Lord Kitchener's recent important
speech On the military situation has
done great deal to awaken the pub
lie to sense of the task before it.
Since he has become war minister,
X. of K" has been also doing a
good deal of waking up" in purely
military quarters, says the Philidel-
phia Ledger.
Some time ago he sent for an Off
Ger who was in the habit of wearing
a monocle-a habit that Kitchener de-
tests, as he believes that it savors OF
affectation.
After talking on various subjects
for few minutes Kitchener suddenly
asked:
"Is that absolutely necessary for YOU
tc wear that glass in your right eye?"
"Oh--ah-certainly, yes" drawled
the officer. Couldn't see without it,
you know"
"Then I'm sorry" said Kitchener,
in his blunt way. II had intended
to give you staff appointment, but
must have men who can see. Good
morning"
After that the monocled one beat 4
hasty retreat.

FOREIGN EDUCATIONAL SURVEYS.

International Industrial competition
and the disclosure that industrial pro
gress is dependent upon education,
have been the motive for school sur
yeys abroad, according to a bulletin
of the United States bureau of educa-
ton on Foreign Educational Survels.
The bulletin calls attention to the
fact that the American survey move
ment and the efforts to reorganize
American schools in industrial mad
vocational ways were coincident with
realization by the people OF the
United States of the wonderful pro-
gress made by Germany in vocational
education and that nations conse-
quent advance in international indus
try and commerce.
"The purpose of an educational sur
vey," declares the bulletin, SIS to
bring about a more economic use of
money and equipment, and better
adaptation of educational agencies to
educational needs"
The scope of the foreign survey IS
generally wider and looks less to To-
cal conditions than the American sur
vey, so the bulletin says. The for
eign survey differs also from the
American in that it is always made
under government auspices. The find
ings therefore carry with them the
weight of government authority. I'm
the schools these findings are con-
elusive, and by the general public they
are received with Difference"
The bulletin describes surveys in
all different foreign countries. Of Eng
lish surveys 1t is declared. England
has been especially fortunate in Sc
curing the services of her ablest pub
lie men on her educational commits
sions, and N generally having as
chairmen the ablest and most emf
nent man of the nation"
Fifteen distinct English surveys are
recorded in the bulletin. The reports
from these Investigations say among
other things: Schools should be
built for all The children" Eve thing
the classics good, but other things in
prudent liberality is
needed as we'll as practical wisdom in
providing for educational needs"
The report on a survey made as far
back as 1854, on technical education,
expresses its establishment at the in
dl strial progress of France, Germany
and Switzerland, and contains the sig
nificant remark: "While we are of the
ooinion that England still maintains
her lead in the world of industry, the
commissioners note with concern the
growth of technical education aboard. y
The commissioners conclude that "it
England is to continue to be the indus
trial leader among her managers, fore
men, and workmen should combine
theoretical instruction with their ack-
nowledgement practical skill"
