IS THIS THE MODERN CHILD?
Precocities" Is Predicament of
Writer.

The child has changed II is no long
er the creature that, pointing to an
animal In the field, said, whats
that?" and the reply being, "a cow"
asked "Why?" The child is perilous-
ly close to asking whether the ami
NAL Is carnivorous or herbivorous.
That makes coercion very difficult.
But I do not think that the modern
parent desires to coerce as much as
did his forbear. Rather he desires to
develop the child's personality, and In
its early days this leads to horrid
results, to children being taught to
see the beautiful" or 'being made to
realize the duties of a citizen"
We are in for a generation made up
half of bulbous-headed, bespectacled
precocities, and half of ~barbarians
who are realizing their personality"

"shan't."-W. l.. George In Harper's

"BIood and Iron"

What is the real origin of the ia
nous phrase commonly believed to
have been used for the first time by
Bismarck? We all, Of course, know
that in the Prussian diet of 1852 Bis
marck declared: THE great questions
are to be settled, not by speeches and
majority resolutions, but by blood
and iron" The belief here avowed
remained with the chancellor to the
end. for in his Memoirs he repeated
the declaration thus: I'VE could get
no nearer the goal by speeches, ASSOC
Citations, decisions of majorities; we
should be unable avoid a serious on-
test which could only be settled by
blood and iron" Bismarck, we may
assume. when first using the words
had in mind a familiar song written
during the war of liberation against
Napoleon by Max 0 Schenkendorn'
In which occur the lines:
Nur Essen kann uns retten.
Und eriosen kahn nur But!
only iron can save us, ana pioou
alone can set us free"-a prophecy
the Prussian believes, fulfilled In the

OLD JAPANESE STONE IMAGE
Figure of Yakushi Buddha Made 2,1oO
Years Ago Found in Jap
Village.

An ancient and ownerless edlice,
standing in a village called Shikish-
ina In Shiki district, Nara Prefec-
ture, has been found to contain a num-
Der of rare artistic treasures in the
shape of antique Buddhist images.
'"The discovery of these rarities, n
of which is believed to be the Oldest
of the kind in Japan" says the Her
aid of Asia, 'is due to Mr.. Sekino,
doctor of engineering; Mr.. Matano,
chief of the imperial museum at To-
kyo, and Mr.. Niino of the Nara Art
gallery. They are of opinion that the
tottering edifce is none other than
a temple called the Seki-ijl, which was
built in the Nara period (710-794 A.
d.. The stone image, the central
figure, as Ii were. of the edifice, rep
resents the Yakushi Buddha, and is
four feet In height, more than three
feet in breadth and three-ffths to
seven-tenths Of a foot in thickness.
1t was probably made some 2,100
years ago, in the era of Hakuho, and
is the oldest stone image in Japan,
says a report from a Nichi-Nichi cor
respondent. The head man of the dis
trict is now trying TO have ii included
among the national treasures. There
are also in the edifce a wooden image
of the Jizo Buddha and several other
figures of antique appearance.

Town life in Russia is as different
as can be from life in the country as

dinner call. People do not call on tneir
friends at tea-time, as we do over here
but after dinner at night, or even ai'ei
the theater. paying calls at midnlsn'

sian dinner always begins with a side-
board course of cold meats hors

dishes are laid out on the sideboard
and the guests help themselves before
sitting down to partake of the regular
meal II is from this custom that we
derive the term service a "a Russo

state that within six months they have

1t has been suggested that the habit
has been introduced by the Canadian
