Modern Prairie Schooner.

The prairie schooner, which carried
SO many American pioneers westward,
has come back on rubber tires, with IA
gasoline engine in place Of the mules.
Many auto trucks and other cars have
been fitted with long canvas hoods and
used for long overland journeys just as
the old-time prairie schooner was.
The modern camp wagons, however. In
addition to their speed and easy rid.
Ing qualities have the advantages Of
spring beds and electric lights. 1t Is
typical OF the change that has come
over the country that the modern prni-
RE schooner Is as luxurious as the old
was rough.

PROVIDING FOR THE FUTURE
War 10 Expected to Draw More Heav.
lily on Students In Colleges Than
Was Anticipated.

Educational experts in Washington
fear that the war is to draw more
heavily upon students in colleges than
has been anticipated, says the Spring
field Republican. One Of them puts the
matter In this way: ~
"Of course we must win the war, and
make sacrifices to that end, but ii we
stop the onward march of education
we are headed for trouble. The prob
lem Is all the more serious because
people are not generally aware Of 1t.
1t is hard to get folks excited about
education and trained leaders for the
future, when they can be thrilled by
airplanes and submarines. But mark
my word, this is problem Of prob
lems."
1t Is well known how heavily the
volunteer system in Canada has drawn
upon the colleges, and educators there
congratulate the United States on the
adoption of the selective draft princi-
pie in preference to complete reliance
upon volunteering, which experience
there has shown decimates the col
leges first. That young men who are
old enough and were ready to leave
college In June should have enlisted
for military service was to have been
expected, and we are likely to have
a repetition of this next year. What
Is needed, therefore, is to fill the
incoming class as full as possible at
all the colleges. Everything possible
must be done to keep education going
all along the line. War makes neces-
sary chemists and physicians, quite as
much as soldiers. This is shown by
the fact that the best specialists Of
this country are at work under gov
ernment supervision. and the race of
them must not be permitted to run
out. Physicians and engineers must
be in the process of making. In a word,
this country must be made to think in
terms Of the future as well as Of thu
present.

One Of the most farsishted strokes
looking toward the final end Of the
war, was the declaring Of an embargo

Of American grain to reach the en-.
