lovely story yesterday afternoon. She
said a dear little school girl wrote it.
And 1 want all the children to know
about it.
She said that once upon time when
Santa Claus was coming across the
sea, bringing his great pack Of toys
to all the good little boys and girls.
Santa leaned over and looked way
down under the sea-. And what do
you suppose happened? Some of his
toys fell off into the water. And
Santa Claus did not notice it at all.
Not until he had gotten right into the

heart Of the Country of Love, where
the children live. And then he missed
them. And at first he did not know
what to do. And then, right away a
wonderful thought came to him, and
he knew that the children would help
him, and that each one of them would
give him something from their Christ
mas stockings to fill the little empty
stocking that he had not toys to fill.
And so ever since then, Christmas
after Christmas, all the little children
have been giving a share of their
Christmas to other children, and help
ing Santa Claus to fill an the empty
stockings, that no child may go with

STARRING THE RACE FAIRLY.

According to an official report, the
time lost by university students
through prompt treatment OF common
colds and grippe has been decreased
from about nine days in 1910 to about
two and one-half days in 1915. That
represents great gain and alone
would be enough to justify the estab-
lishment and maintenance of the stu
dent medical advisers department but
that is by no means the only or the
chief gain to the students.
However, mature they may consider
themselves, freshmen at the university
are seldom more than young boys and
girls They come at an age when
they can not safely be entrusted to
select physician wisely or exercise
proper judgment as to whether Or not
an attack of illness is of such char
ton and. VIGOROUS treatment. Par
ents can now feel a degree Of comfort
concerning the health and physical
welfare Of their children at the Uni
rersity Of Wisconsin that was i'm
possible before the service was in
stituted there.
Another gain has come through the
compulsory physical examination of
all students Many an early case of
tuberculosis has been discovered many
months or even years before it other
wise would have been and while the
in, 1v clio
In other instances unsupported heart
disease has been detected by these
skillful diagnosticians and the stu
dent has been prohibited from engag-
ing in competitive athletics that might
have killed or crippled him for life in
an institution less scrupulous in look
ing after the health of the students
for whom it is morally responsible.
In this latter class of cases early
detection and proper advice is fire.
quently all that is needed to enable
the victim to so modify his habits or
vocation in life as to insure a normal
or even an increased span of life.
1t was a wise administration which
recognized the fact that the physical
guidance of the student body is quite
as important as the mental guidance.
Wisconsin and California universities
lead the country in this respect.
Authorities having responsibility
for students of local primary and
secondary schools are providing sim
ilarly by employment of physicians
and nurses for health inspection and
supervision. Children are getting a
fair start, nowadays, and the next
generation ought thereby to be able
to put it all over the present one"
Who is it that desires less?

Republicans in thirty of the forty
