A curious survival of the martinet spirit of the old army appeared dur ing the recent visit of the King to the British troops in France, when an order was issued that the officers should appear with swoross during the royal review.

There is just one great school-the
school of experience and practice. Up
to this scholarship. which begins early
in life and ends with death. the public
school grades are necessary and
should be made the most of. and the
high school course, if obtainable, will
do no harm To the professions the
college course should mean much; but
to the tradesman and the artesian, the
great bulk of knowledge must come
from practice, for with practice the
real education begins and the man or
woman must win in that school or not
at all. 1t is true that sending the
boy or girl away to school has often
accomplished their ruin: that ruin
which improper associations bring so
quickly to the easy influenced or
weakly balanced youth. Adaptibility
is often the main requirement in life's
success. A majority of the greatest
men in the history of this country,
had but little training in the schools,
mainly because they could not get it.
Who is there to say that they were
not as well off without it?
