There has been current in England
of recent years q reaction against rea-
son. an avowed worship of instinct
and tradition and even prejudice. The
doctrines of this reaction are in them
selves fascinating, and they have been
preached by fascinating writer's. The
way Of instinct and old habit is 50 fun
of ease, so faciIe and strong and I'M
troubled! Look at the faces of men
who are wrapped up in some natural
and instructive purpose. Look at a
dog chasing his prey, lover pursuing
his beloved band Of vigorous men
advancing to battle. a crowd Of friends
drinking and laughing. That shows

can be and what it ought to be. Let

commonplace has 1t become, after
eight months duration, that the con-
tributing patriot feels that it is a
privilege, not a duty, to drive home a
nail for the cause.
Here again the children saved the
day and won success for the venture.
Enthusiasm waned somewhat after
about two months, and the line of
prospective hammerers dwindled. At
that time the nails were sold only at
Schwartzenburg Platz. and the good
citizen. after paving the krone for the
privilege, deemed that he had done his
duty and went no more. But the chill
dren took hold with their customary
vim and energy, and the nails were
peddled in every coffee house and resi-
dence in Vienna. until today there is
always line Of twenty to fifty persons
waiting to climb the stairs, and the
gigantic block of wood has, in truth,
become man Of mail.
Stories exploiting the work of Boy
Scouts and other childrens organiza-
tions reach us from time to time: but in
no other country at war have the chill

children, responded so splendidly for
the cause for which their fathers and
brothers and other relatives are sned-

working at top speed, endeavored to
prepare them for surgical treatment.
This was slow and unsatisfactory, as
the bathing occupied and exhausted
trained men and women who should
have been permitted to minister to the
suffering.
Then a thoughtful man suggested
that the children be called upon for
assistance. At first a few boys were

then empty and cleanse the tub.
The girls? Yes, they are employed,
too. AS soon as the soiled clothes are
removed the girls carry them away to

fumigated and returned to the proper
