well educated, is a pitiable thing.
How often stenographers are morti-
fed by the use of some unfamiliar
word or term, or quotation, because
of the shallowness of their prepare
tioni 1t is not enough to be able to
take dictation when ordinary letters
are given, not enough to do the ordi-
nary routine of Office work The am
bilious stenographer must be pre-
pared for the unusual word or express
sion, must have good reserves of
knowledge to draw from in case of
emergency. If she is constantly slip
ping up on her grammar, or is all at
sea the moment she steps out of her
ordinary routine, her employer knows
that her preparation is shallow, that
her education is limited, and her pros
poets will be limited, also.
Everywhere we go we see men and
women, especially from twenty-five to
forty years of age, who are cramped
and seriously handicapped by the lack
of early training. I often receive let
tiers from such people, asking if it is
possible for them to educate them
selves SO late in life. OF course it is.
There are so many good correspond
ence schools today, and institutions

WON HONOR WITH THE FIST
Some British Soldiers Who Have
Earned the Victoria Cross by the
Use OF Their Bare Hands

Skill in fisticuffs has several times
won the Victoria Cross At Inkerman-
for instance. Capt. Hugh Rowlands
saved his commanding officer, Colonel
Hay. by a straight left-hander- Hay
was wounded and lying on the ground
with a gigantic Russian standing over
him and about to plunge a bayonet to
his heart, when Rowlands, who had
lost his sword, smashed the Russian
with his left hand, knocking the man
unconscious. Rowlands got the V C.
At Jeerum, in India, during the In
dian mutiny, Gen James Blair. whose
sword had been broken on at the hilt
and who had no other weapon, dashed
into a crowd of armed Inutineers and
knocked five Of them down with his
fists in a few seconds The Victoria
Cross also went to him

at the handle while in action was Ad-
